After the whole heated seats subscription bullshit I expect only the worst from them.

Don’t worry Microsoft will shove as much agentic AI bullshit into Windows 11 as they can, further ruining performance.

Someone busy keeping up with the Joneses realises it was pointless and moralises at others about it.

Not a new take, not particularly thought provoking.

Chuck in some ‘spiritualism’ and you’ve got someone opining for the 70’s.

I’ve known multiple 90+ year olds that were cognitively very capable, not at their peak certainly but to say everyone gets dementia is wrong.

Dementia is not just a small cognitive decline.

The file might be lossless but I’ve yet to find a way to actually verify or set the playback quality of my DAC.

Linux is very frustrating when it comes to audio.

Underground lines cost 3 to 20 times more, have higher power loss, last about half as long and can’t be as long as overhead transmission lines.

Running a generator for a short period every few years when a line goes down will cost less and cause less pollution than putting in underground lines.

Yes that’s a small part of my job.

I setup monitoring systems, ingest logs and create rules to detect unusual or malicious behaviour.

Then I perform investigations which sometimes turn into forensic investigations, which sometimes results in legal action.

I check those logs, not for Intel though.

The systems that support this range from simple to unnecessarily complex.

Fortunately we banned black cars because no one could see them.

The motorcycle she rides is a Kawasaki ZZ-R250 which always amuses me because they’re really not quick by motorcycle standards.

Basically OpenAI has been a nonprofit organisation with a profit cap.

Meaning that while they stole vast troves of data it would in theory return more value to its users than they paid to access it.

With OpenAI becoming a public benefit corporation they will be able to pursue unlimited profits.

OpenAI has also had a majority stake in OpenAI so has been able to control the direction of the organisation.

That will change with investors now having the majority stake and OpenAI having a 26% share.

Basically the ‘theft’ here is that future profits will flow to shareholders instead of reinvestment into OpenAI.

There was never any plan for distribution of wealth from OpenAI to the public or governments so I find calling this theft a bit of a reach.

Also not true, people are starving largely due to logistics.

Moving a lot of food costs a lot of money and when you’re already giving it away for free the cost of transportation is ruinous.

No farmer wants to let the food they produce rot but none of them can afford to send it where it’s needed most.

No

No people don’t tend to think purely in approval or disapproval. Most of the time it’s more nuanced emotion, you might consider frustration a disapproving response to a conversation topic but it’s not always that clear cut.

People rarely think of others in these terms.

Oh people are donating money to them, and there are regular donation drives on other instances which include funds going to Lemmy development.

Well we are discussing this on Lemmy which has awful developers, you can’t always avoid terrible peoples work unfortunately.

I must have done something wrong because the last time I removed cupsd it bricked my Linux Mint install.
