I will never forget when I had to help a coworker with her laptop, she had long nails that had worn grooves in her keyboard keys.

She typed on her nails, the sound it made was terrible.

As I noted, that only works with a limited set of AI companies.

They need to be in the juristiction of whatever government that decide to enforce the laws, if not, there is very little that can be done.

Then, besides needing to be in the right juristiction, the punnishment needs to be large enough that you can’t just budget it away.

Then any country doing this will know that they are deliberately getting rid of an important sector, while other countries will continue running their sectors.

Which will only be possible with good old fashioned bouble bursting as I said.

The issue with legally pulling the plug is that it won’t stop AI baddies, only good AI companies who respect the law.

The knowledge and tools are still out there.

But when the bouble bursts it will tank AI globally.

Why not call it a “shutter button”?

“Just one more training on a social network”

Can’t wait for the bouble to burst.

If it was listed incorrectly as a feature that could be turned on or off and it was a bug, then the bugfix would seem to be making it listed correctly as a feature that can be turned on or off.

Please notice that I spoke about the configuration of the DE/VM, I have learned a lot about DE/VM confug from looking at different distros

It sounds as you want to evaluate different Linux Distributions.

DE/GUI is a good one, terminal commands is a bit useless since the vast majority of Linux systems use Bash as default.

This is what I would look into on a new distro:

UI - What DE or WM is it using, what is the default config like, and try to learn from that. How is the terminal prompt configured (the default Ubuntu and Debian prompts are terrible, I allways change them)

Package Manager - how does it work, what software is available?

Unique software - Does the distribution include some tools, applications or games I haven’t heard about? If so, what do they do, and how do they work.

This gives me a feel for the distribution and how to use it.

It is almost as if there has been about 2 decades of technological development since you last used that kind of tech.

Why would apple not wipe the device completely on repair or when activated?

I remember back in the early 2000s when I saw a PDA with a 232mhz cpu and 64mb ram, and I realized how far technology had come since I got my computer with a 233mhz cpu and 64mb ram…

Obviously different architechtures, but damn that felt strange…

Gecko, the browser engine?

Meh, most iPhones live in a case, it’ll be fine

Immagine if Chrome wasn’t just a rinky dink Safari emulator!

Wow, can’t wait to not only have my data harvested by Apple but also Google!

FFS, stop cumming for Chrome and start using Firefox!

Oh yeah, I remember the mems from back in the late 90s, I reacted harshly to the previous comment as they claimed that I was being gaslit.

I remember using Windows as far back as 3.11, I know my own feelings.

If you look further in the thread you’ll also see that I admitted that I was probably reflecting my oppinion on XP and 7 onto Microsoft as a whole.

I will grant you that I may be reflecting my oppinion on XP and 7 on Microsoft as a whole.

Oh fuck off, you don’t get to decide my oppinions.

I recently found the YT channel Michael MJD, and it has made me realize how fun and cool Microsoft was in the XP and 7 eras.

It was just before the cloud ruined everything and it was before the curse of the flat UI design.

It was a more fun time.

Windows 7 is the prettiest Windows ever made, with XP running Royale theme a close second.

There has never not been a time when photography was not manipulated in some way, be it as simple as picking a subject and framing it in a specific way can completely change the story.

I really enjoy photography as a hobby, however I find it a bit embarrasing and intrusive to take photos of other people, so my photos tend to look empty of people.

I will allways frame a picture to have no or as a very few people in it as possible.

In general I don’t edit my photos on the computer, I just let them speak for themselves, even if that story is a half truth.

We have never been able to trust photographs completely, though you make a good point about truth in numbers, that won’t go way just because of AI.

The big issue now is how easiy it is to make a completely believably faked photo out of an existing photo, we have been able to do this for decades, but is has been way, way harder to do.

As for the blockchain making photos valuable, we tried that, NFTs as a concept is dumb and has failed, I don’t believe that NFTs will be the future of ownership.
