is it common practice to have a web browser or media player running with elevated permissions? seems like a strange thing to do…

buwho ,

they understand that it will contradict the things they’re trying to get away with supporting…

i know they’re talking about sources of air pollution , but deforestation also is a big part of the equation and is also related to said farming on a global scale.

i usually have efi boot partition (512mb), / (linux root), /home (i usually make this pretty big) , and swap partition.

In every reported case where police mistakenly arrested someone using facial recognition, that person has been Black (www.businessinsider.com)

Was this AI trained on an unbalanced data set? (Only black folks?) Or has it only been used to identify photos of black people? I have so many questions: some technical, some on media sensationalism

buwho ,

In the documentary Coded Bias, the police in England were utilizing new AI facial recognition technology to find criminals on the streets and yes they were almost all black. The documentary states that it is because the models were trained on mostly white people so it couldn’t differentiate black peoples features as well. Or something to that affect.

killing the apt update shouldn’t break anything since its not installing any packages it’s just updating your repos. i would have just killed the pid 1635…also not sure if it would break something but i doubt it…did you dmesg to see what else info you might be able to find out?

i have multiple google drives synced right into my file manager…like i just click it, it mounts it, and drag stuff in and out as if it were local…i’m on debian with gnome. dropbox works the same way. obviously icloud and onedrive may be more difficult, but i’m pretty sure there is something formsyncing up onedrive, but i choose to disable one drive on all my windows devices.

I’m in this camp. Been messing with linux since 2004. Ubuntu 5.10 i think it was, Fedora core 4, slackware, crunchbang, arch…almost 2 decades later i’m on Pop OS. shit just works it’s out of my way. i can customize it to look how i want, set it and forget it. nvidia works great etc. i use the terminal a lot though. mainly for bash scripts and ssh server stuff, directory navigation and management etc. I use a lot of third party TỤI apps too. I like the option of having a stable easy to use GUI for mundane lazy periods and the ability to do whatever i need in terminal. Plus pop os with tiling and floating window manager toggle is awesome.

Oh now they want out? I thought they moved there because they love it and want to assimilate into the population. Become one of the locals and partake in the struggle for the beauty of life, a brotherhood of man…

“we will not tolerate aggression unless it’s from us”

buwho ,

Good article. I’m curious, what warranted a warrant for the FBI to seize the DB and other things?

buwho ,

Ive been using Pop OS which has their own Gnome extension (Cosmic? or Pop Shell?)for tiling/floating windows management and it works really well for me. Its toggle-able and adjust window size and placement pretty well imo.

buwho ,

elon coming for your copyright infringement!

buwho ,

ive been using mailspring, pretty happy with it.

buwho ,

What distro are you using? Which deivers did you update? What hardware do you have? nvidia gou? etc. Definitely first try going into different tty with ctrl-alt-f2 or f3 etc.

buwho ,

it is a text based environment of you OS, you can switch between multiple text based environments. if your graphical environment is just black, but the OS is still active you should be able to switch to another text based environment using that key combo (ctrl-alt-f2 or f3 or f4 etc.) from there you can potentially roll back the driver, view system logs to troubleshoot, etc.

i guess cross your fingers and do a hard reboot!

Linux distro for a laptop I might barely use (lemmy.sdf.org)

For years, I’ve gotten by with a desktop at home running Arch and a work laptop running Kubuntu. Now I want a laptop that’s not owned by my job, so that I can use a computer outside the house and not have my workplace own the IP rights of whatever I do on it. My workload is basically just going to be emacs and web browsing,...

lol at government email using microsoft which has been known for poor security for decades…“we dont practice proper security measures on the internet, but its the damn chinese!”

buwho ,

but when you dont regulate corporations they will exploit and destroy anything and everything to monopolize and capitalize to the fullest extent. its not that the consumption of meat is bad, from a responsible regenerative agroforestry standpoint raising animals can help your regenerative agriculture system. it is monoculture and monopolization of the industry, pushing out responsible small scale community providers etc. that produce in a more ecologically responsible way. not to negate that populations consuming a lot of meat daily do end up becoming a market for irresponsible producers that “need to keep up with demand” to continually profit.

Nothing currently can compete with Adobe Photoshop. Unless they port it to linux. It would take open source devs serious time to catch up to Photoshop development. Plus without making millions of dollars for decades, the development of another application of that scale and complexity would be a serious undertaking. That said GIMP as you know is probably the best “alternative”. For me I just dual-boot and use windows for basically Adobe Suite. All other times I use linux. However I learned GIMP a long time ago so I am comfortable using it for what it can do, and I’m probably faster in GIMP than PS. I am not a professional graphic designer etc. though.
