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.

buwho , 10 months ago to linux in The Perfect Linux Distribution

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.
