Reading through these comments is depressing and my only hope is that I will be dead before the droughts lead to food shortages that effect me. I like eating, I like eating good food, I like having good food available when I want it. I don’t like being hungry. I hope I’m dead before I have to deal with starvation. At least nuclear war would be quick.

Megaprojects are a pipe dream. We can’t even deal with a lowball pandemic together as a nation. What hope do we have of coming together as a world? Let alone for something that isn’t going to have immediate consequences slapping us in the face. We’re a pathetic society that can’t do anything good. All we do is consume. Mr. Smith was right, we’re a virus.

We’re heading for a post-apocalyptic sci-fi future, and all the horrible shit that goes along with it.

In a fucked up way, our only hope is if a mega power somehow dominates the world through some horrific war and consolidates power, while somehow avoiding nuclear war and then does a quick 180° straight into eco-fascism. That’s the glorious future we have to look forward to. Life under a global authoritarian regime with severe austerity measures to deal with global warming. People will starve, people will be executed. The horrors of Stalinism will be our reality, and it is the only thing that can save us from ourselves.

I fucking hope I die, because I wasn’t built for suffering.

But is he… earnestly working on it?

Didn’t they try that already and they ended up pulling the plug because the AI became a nazi?

Ok, so is RIF going to make an app for the fediverse so I can keep using it?

I’m going to offer an alternative.

Steam lets you streamplay games from your computer to another computer.
Your phone is a computer.

You don’t like the built in controls for a phone.
You can pair xbox and ps5 controllers to androids phones with little to no effort. Not sure about other phone OS’s, and quite frankly, not my bag baby.

So now you have a controller hooked up to your phone, and it’s channeling games from your computer over wifi.

Never had a cause to try it personally, but I might just do that and come back to confirm it works.

Might save you a couple bucks for your kids college fund.

People finding out the internet never forgets, and never forgives.

I think there’s a problem with people wanting a fully developed brand new technology right out the gate. The cell phones of today didn’t happen overnight, it started with a technology that had limitations and people innovated.

AI is a technology that has limitations, people will innovate it. Hopefully.

I think my favorite potential use case for AI is academics. There are countless numbers of journal articles that get published by students, grad students and professors, and the vast majority of those articles don’t make an impact. Very few people read them, and they get forgotten. Vast amounts of data, hypotheses and results that might be relevant to someone trying to do something good, important or novel but they will never be discovered by them. AI can help with this.

Of course there’s going to be problems that come up. Change isn’t good for everyone involved, but we have to hope that there is a net good at the end. I’m sure whoever was invested in the telegram was pretty choked when the phone showed up, and whoever was invested in the carrier pigeon was upset when the telegram showed up. People will adapt, and society will benefit. To think otherwise is the cynical take on the same subject. The glass is both half full and half empty. You get to choose your perspective on it.

Linux has ‘swap’. Pretty much it’s a back up to prevent your computer from crashing if it tries to use more ram than it has, so it allocates hard drive space to be used as ram.

Different distributions have different suggestions on how much space to allocate for swap. Depending on how much ram you’re putting in your machine and how you plan on using your machine will heavily influence the size of swap you need (ram intensive vs not ram intensive).

You can set up with a ‘swap file’ on a hard drive after you install your OS.
Or you can set up a ‘swap partition’ on your harddrive when you’re setting up your partitions prior to OS installation
Or you can set up a separate harddrive as a swap drive
Or if you have a lot of ram you can avoid setting up swap entirely. This is not advisable though, it sucks finding out something is ram intensive when what you’re doing crashes.

It’s good to have an idea of how you want to map out your hard drives before installing your OS.
The world is your oyster.

If you’re dual booting windows you need to turn off ‘safe boot’ in your BIOS.

The infamous nipple bot. Boldly finding nipples where no nipples were found before.

It’s wild how negligent the lawyer was. How did he manage to pass the bar with that level of work ethic?
You would think that any reasonable person having someone else do their work for them would at least have to good sense to look it over, let alone letting an AI do it for you and not fact checking it at all. What an utter nincompoop.

Have you tried Arch?
You should try Arch.
It will be exactly what you make it.
It has great documentation and walkthroughs.
It’s got a cool name.
You get to say you run Arch.

I think this is a case of people doing both at the same time.

You see things like this a lot, on the internet and in politics, the framing of a situation as a binary choice, the idea that we only have the option to do one thing or the other. It’s bullshit. We can do as many things as we’re damn well capable of doing. Sometimes even at the same goddamm time.

I have no doubt that there are reddit mods currently migrating to whatever alternative they’re going with while also simultaneously trolling the shit out of reddit on their way out.

Good for them, the more attention they raise, the more fun people have, the more it’ll be noticed when they get the boot.

It seems the whatsthisbug sub has a cockroach problem.
