It amazes me that people don’t notice this is the exact same formula for roguelikes.

I know it’s a Thameslink train in the thumbnail but I can’t make out the station. It’s definitely on the Bedford-Brighton line between Luton and London.

Sweet Baby Inc. A great big nothing situation where chuds wanted someone to blame for video games having black people or women or god forbid, black women.

Also helps to notice when games are being reviewbombed like with the SBI stuff.

One of the simplest ways to safeguard against breakage is to have your /home on a separate partition. I realised I wouldn’t need to backup and reformat it from the beginning, I just need to wipe the root drive and reinstall again.

It’s made even easier by writing an installation script. Simply put, you can pipe a list of packages into packstrap and use a little convenience package for pulling a partition scheme out of a file.

I like to tinker and I’m aware that things will break so I have these tools that let me rebuild the system again in as short a time as possible.

He died in 1982 but his works are hugely influential:
Philip K Dick.

What’s the full title?

YouTube will actually take action and has done in most instances. I won’t say they’re the fastest but they do kick people off the platform if they deem them high risk.

I don’t understand the comments suggesting this is “guilty by proxy”. These platforms have algorithms designed to keep you engaged and through their callousness, have allowed extremist content to remain visible.

Are we going to ignore all the anti-vaxxer groups who fueled vaccine hesitancy which resulted in long dead diseases making a resurgence?

To call Facebook anything less than complicit in the rise of extremist ideologies and conspiratorial beliefs, is extremely short-sighted.

“But Freedom of Speech!”

If that speech causes harm like convincing a teenager walking into a grocery store and gunning people down is a good idea, you don’t deserve to have that speech. Sorry, you’ve violated the social contract and those people’s blood is on your hands.

I’m talking less about the products and more about Linus’s reviewing practices. We saw this in the watercooler debacle. He half-asses reviews and blames the product when he’s the one messing up.

Not even that. It’s that his review isn’t an objective assessment of the product because he stands to financially benefit from Framework doing well. He’s worse than a hypocrite, he’s a shill.

Wayland isn’t trying to be X12 and since X11 has been around, there haven’t been plans for there to be an X12 either. You want to discourage people from using Wayland but don’t encourage people to contribute to X11. You’re so hellbent on taking Wayland down, rather than further convincing people that X11 is superior and it’s easier to improve.

The comment I replied to suggested the opposite, that whatever decisions Apple makes, Android follows behind which isn’t the case in reality.

I understand your point though. It’s weird that people who use iPhones have this mentality that iPhones are at the forefront of innovation. I know some people who are aware that Apple is behind but the phone does what they require of it so they have no need to ask more.

I don’t think that’s true. Android has had more features than Apple for over a decade. People forget that iPhones didn’t used to have a proper file manager and the only way to put songs on them was through iTunes. iOS has been trailing behind Android in that respect while maintaining their walled garden.

Netflix is full of reptiles who don’t care to offer a better service. All they want is enough market share to strongarm consumers into giving them more money.

Whenever some dipshit responds to me with “you’re talking about AGI, this is AI”, my only reply is fuck right off.

I’ve just done the dance already and I’m tired of their watered-down attempts at bringing human complexity down to a level that makes their chat bots seem smart.

I don’t need a theory for this, you’re being highly reductive by focusing on a few features of human communication.

What research? These bots aren’t that complicated beyond an optimisation algorithm. Regardless of the tasks you give it, it can’t evolve beyond what it is.

I felt this with one of the laptops I put KDE Neon on. It had all manner of issues that never got a resolution.
