I always wondered why they haven’t been doing it from the start, seams like it is not as simple as I imagine.

People will take it, there is no other option and G is working hard not to allow another video platform.

Problem is ads they are playing are awful and loud. We will make way to silent them and black them out, it is not hard.

Bigger problem is content they are pushing is getting bad and is pushing creators into burnout. And I don’t want to see videos companies are creating, but want individual contributions.

monobot ,

It still costs money for hardware and hosting. Scraping web and training AI ain’t cheap.

Do you have an idea what attracts you to her?

Do you know how humans choose their partners?

\We usually choose ones that wake up our traumas. It is known emotion for us and looks like attraction, especially sexually. Yeah, we are quite perverse. You know that old idiom “similar to your mother”, yeah but not physically or obviously. For me it was that my mother, contrary to what she is saying, hated her father. That also means she hates all man, including her son (me). Keep in mind she is not aware of any of this hate. So until I discovered that, I was attracted to women that hated their father in the same way my mother did. They also hated, and were attracted to, all man. You can imagine how difficult those relationships are.

Go get her, you will have your hearth broken. And it is worth it. But also find some psychotherapist to help you with solving this issue so that next one will be the one that is kind to you.

Thing is you also stop sharing and commenting and engaging with other users. If it wasn’t useful they would pull the plug long ago, nothing technical is preventing them.

monobot ,

It is, it has -9 points right now. While unpopular opinion, I agree with it if you like the content.

I use it, but I am trying to move to podcast and other platforms as much as possible.

Is there any medicine that can give me happy hormones and does not need a doctor's prescription?

Things are becoming more depressing every day and I can’t afford for professionals and don’t want to jump to the last resort or drugs. Is there a medicine that can make me happy if I take it in proper doses and does not require a doctor’s prescription?

monobot ,

I don’t know about that kind of medicine, but resolve your repressed anger and depression will disappear.

monobot ,

Sorry for seeing the comments now, but it’s never too late hopefully.

Therapy helped me. Looking back first important step was noticing that I am angry. It is strange how hidden and unrecognizable anger can be.

Second part is discovering why I was angry. As soon as we discover why are we angry, we stop being angry. When ai asked my shrink how does that work, he said “I don’t know, but it works”. And it really does.

Now when someone says “I am angery and I know why I am angre” I am sure they have no idea.

And I haven’t found other way to resolve that, than psychoanalysis as therapy.

monobot ,

I think they are selling hardware on reduced price so they can make money on cloud services. And by spying and selling customer data.

The problem is that investors want to invest in data collection, not in making new hardware and service.

monobot ,

I enjoy some of his music. And respect following he created.

You should take a look at his drawings, search a little for those. Example: gottahaverockandroll.com/jim_morrison_original_pe…

…blogspot.com/…/jim-morrisons-drawing-from-high-s…

By that and other information, sounds to me like he had hard childhood and unhappy life.

Information about him is not as easy to just find, but biography might be interesting read.

I'm a US citizen, people in other countries, what do you think when you read stories like these about the US health care system? (www.vox.com)

I’d like to know other non-US citizen’s opinions on your health care system are when you read a story like this. I know there are worse places in the world to receive health care, and better. What runs through your heads when you have a medical emergency?...

monobot ,

First thought is that you need to do that research aa soon as you move to the new house, change your insurance or job.

Second is obvious, strange county you have over there. But I guess most of the people are satisfied with that, as with paying for school.

Because AI and Crypto use so much electricity, what if a law was made that they had to power it with green energy?

Something on the lines of if your company facility is using over X amount of energy the majority of that has to be from a green source such as solar power. What would happen and is this feasible or am I totally thinking about this wrong...

monobot ,

While being right about crypto being meaningless for some people (I guess there are people valuing hope in decentralized monetary system, even if it is misplaced.), you failed to mention that most of other industries are equally meaningless and good part of them are even harmful: fashion, fast food, industrial food, banking - in a way we have it, cars in current form(no need for this huge tanks)…

In comparation crypto is just wasteful and isn’t harming anyone.

monobot ,

Maybe we should stop calling them adblockers.

I am not blocking ads I am blocking spyware and malicious scripts. I wouldn’t have anything against well behaving ads without js.

Also making it illegal is nit necessary, just don’t show me your content and exclude it from search results and we are good.

monobot ,

Which brend and model didyou get?

monobot ,

Why wouldn’t they? It just measures electrical resistance of the soil, less moisture means more resistance. Nice and simple.

I have cheap one connected to arduino, and small water pump conected to it too. It works nicely.

monobot ,

And it is always a question how they calculated handling of nuclear waste.

There are options, we can use coal and natural gas for on demand power to fill the gaps in renewables, we don’t have to quit all at once. New ideas for energy storage and comming around, some of them might be useful for small towns, others for remote places.

monobot ,

My GeoTIFFs do not agree.

monobot ,

Slackware is obvious choice, exactly what you are looking for.

It was my first distro and I miss it a lot. Simplicity and stability are main selling points.

monobot ,

I have the same recommendation, try slack out it really feets.

But I think it will be like Genie fullfiling your wishes - you don’t really know what you are looking for, but it might really suit you.

monobot ,

This is the dilema since we use lithium batteries. And if it was truth we would be certain of it.

I believe that there is a difference, but I think it is in the range of few percents of capacity lost per year, which means you will be using 60% of the capacity. That’s capacity you get after 10+ years of use.

We all know batteries don’t last that long anyway.

All that said I do keep laptop on 80% ¯_(ツ)_/¯
since I rarely use it on battery.

monobot ,

I lay down on couch for 20 minutes.

When I work from home. In the office I can not manage to rest even on the couch.

monobot ,

Good idea.

monobot ,

AI has been paying of for decades, it is used in all industries for appropriate tasks.

Now it is even better we are doing stuff no one thought it could be possible and advancing our work.

Perfect use case is for things that are simple to do but take too much time to be economical for humans (ex. counting products, plants, trees, cars, disease detection…) and using additional data to make better decisions.

Generative AI (for writing text, coding,… ) is of course no where close to being useful, but it can interesting to try. It is just a toy, expensive one, but still a toy.

monobot ,

This is just what is visible to users/customers which is just top of the iceberg.

Real use of AI is in every industry and best use case is for jobs that were imposible before.

monobot ,

I do not, please inform me, since as far as I know Firefox was always trying to be featurefull browser.

monobot ,

t490 is usb-c

monobot ,

It is unbelievable we do not have standard document format.

monobot ,

I agree, we need support for it in libreoffice and than other document editors.

We can not expect people to use codes, but editor that saves to it would be grat.

monobot ,

And you just need to find good non science fiction way to deal with nuclear waste.

And some ethical ways of aquiring uranium.

With all that calculated in, I am certain how much cheaper it is.

monobot ,

Here is nice help for python software to determine XDG directories (and more): pyxdg.readthedocs.io/en/…/basedirectory.html

PyXDG contains implementations of freedesktop.org standards in python.

People also misuse other *ism words, it is quite normal to make general stereotypes of *ism especially for jokes.

monobot ,

Me too, such a great app. I tried others and were not good for me.

monobot ,

This is so simple equation, ai can not believe how many people are agains it.

One my friend lives near Oslo and works in Oslo. He checks in as soon as he sits in a train and starts checking his emails.

monobot ,

There are no other options.

I hope ladybird will become usable in few years.

monobot ,

Since it is paywalled I can only guess from the title.

I don’t understand the problem. He was payed for reading books and now we all have his voice. What did he expect?

Is there an AI imitating his voice making money? Is it being represented with his name? If not, what would be the difference with some person imitating his voice, whould that be stealing too?

Basically I don’t see any problem with me buying those books training local model and give it other books to read. That can not be illegal, right?

Giving it to other people mentioning his name would definitely be fraud. But stealing? I don’t know.

Selling it to other people under other name… I don’t see a problem.

But than we come to AI generated images and I do start thinking in that way. Thou if they can find someone that looks like him, and other person sounding like him… they are all good?

monobot ,

Mine too! I don’t understand why people don’t like it.

Not to mention it is believable. Yeah, maybe some things are too much but those are tools used to create emotion.

Not the lest that Brenna Odell was my childhood crush.

monobot ,

Pics or didn’t happen.

I just can not imagine anyone forcing someone to sit in vomit.

Linux 6.6 To Better Protect Against The Illicit Behavior Of NVIDIA's Proprietary Driver (www.phoronix.com)

Luis Chamberlain sent out the modules changes today for the Linux 6.6 merge window. Most notable with the modules update is a change that better builds up the defenses against NVIDIA’s proprietary kernel driver from using GPL-only symbols. Or in other words, bits that only true open-source drivers should be utilizing and not...

monobot ,

You are correct, it while it was technically driver for kernel, meaning it is using kernel driver api, it was not driver for graphic card. Just a bit different way to load binary blob.

Best Camera and Gallery app

Hey guys, Im trying to get rid of google apps so I have installed GCAM port MGC_8.9.097_A11_V4_ENG and simple gallery pro from fdroid. They are both amazing, but when Im in camera app and I want to use thumbnail to open last picture in gallery, it does open but then after 2 sec screen refreshes like I reopened the app. And even...

monobot ,

Isn’t gcam still google’s app?

I think they hard code gallery started from their app, xiaomi does that too. Solution might be other camera app, like someone mentioned opencamera.

monobot ,

Nebula is owned by creators of content, maybe not all of them, but definitely at begining.

monobot ,

I agree with you, I miss comments from random people, even on youtube, most of the time it os some useful insight.

That was the worst part of having some subscription, no coments.

This is consequence of walked garden. Creators should be compensated, but this model is not for me.

monobot ,

I jusy went over their posts and maybe 20 percent cover Ukraine, most are jusr critical of US and most are widely accepeted western news sites ( ft, economist, independent ).

monobot ,

I just assume that everyone has some kind of agenda, so I don’t see real problem with it.

Can you find many accounts that equally represent pro and against war stances and reportings? I most certanly haven’t seen them, nor did I see comentes negating their stance.

I don’t have a goal to chamge yoir opinion I am commenting for other people seeing your comment so that they get differet view point and check for themselves.

I think the biggest issue is that a lot of people from US never before ventured on non-US part of the net and have problem accepting that some people have negatinve opinions on US foreign policies (which would be whole non white part of the world). And now that you are exposed to differences of opinion you react the same as for your internal politics - by seeing it as an enemy and not another human beings with different life experiences.

monobot ,

even lemmynsfw defederated them, lol 🤣 why?

[Rant] Cloud service is not a reason to have phones with only 128 GB

I am in the process of looking between repairing my phone or switching to a new one. And the no brainer evolution to the OnePlus 7 Pro I have is a Pixel phone. Pixel Phones are definitely not perfect, I know that the battery would fall faster than other phones but hey, that’s ok, google chip in it, possibility to go...

monobot ,

Same here, I don’t understand people buying phones without SD card and than complaining about it.

They sent a message to manufacturer that they don’t want SD cart slot and of course in the next year evel less phones will have it.

monobot ,

Because their opinion will decide what we will be using in decade or two.

monobot ,

Or are just being given slow and aweful low end android phones. IPhones will be faster and better in every way.

It was the same with laptops 10-15 years ago, people were comparing cheap 400USD laptops with 1500USD macbooks and saying thise are better without ever seeing 1000+ USD PC.

It is about money/status and performance too.

I can freely laugh at a colleague with new 1.5k USD macbook with soldered 8GB ram + soldered 512GB SSD while using my three year old thinkpad with 48GB of RAM and 2TB SSD costing the same with upgrades.

monobot ,

Yes they were both aweful, but somehow Linus got out of that video looking better than Louis.

Louis was the guest, he needs to end up looking good. It is not only recording but montage too.

I remember Louis was defending Linus from people seeing it as bad representation, so this is just my own private opinion - Louis didn’t want to go to war with much more popular Linus, that’s when his channel exploded in popularly.
