I skipped straight to Gentoo.

Catgirls hate this simple trick!

Why are there so many conspiracy theories regarding soy beans?

Dear lemmy, someone very close to my heart is starting to fall into conspiracy theories. It’s heartbreaking. Among other things, he has now told me that soy beans are not supposed to be consumed by human beings and is convinced that despite the literal centuries of human soy bean cultivation and consumption, we shouldn’t eat...

msage ,

So my relative tells me soy and its products contain a funghi candida, that will infect you and cause health issues.

Supposedly there was a farmer who fed soy to chicken, who have died sooner and had white guts.

msage ,

Oh it’s a free market alright.

It’s not fair, but it is free.

Dendrite has been in Beta for so long.

I remember installing Synapse 6 years ago thinking “whatever, I’ll reinstall it anyway”.

Welp

msage ,

Which one?

msage ,

The majority doesn’t understand anything.

So what?

msage ,

Great, it was working without issues on Gentoo and Steam Deck respectively before, too.

msage ,

Please point me to a place where conservatism means something else, thank you

Did we kill Linux's killer feature?

A few years ago we were able to upgrade everything (OS and Apps) using a single command. I remember this was something we boasted about when talking to Windows and Mac fans. It was such an amazing feature. Something that users of proprietary systems hadn’t even heard about. We had this on desktops before things like Apple’s...

Portage: Am I a joke to you?

msage ,

Who would pay for a database when you can get a free one Postgres?

msage ,

Then she can reopen those tabs in FF :)

msage ,

We will just cut off the interplanetary network.

And watch them enjoy the planet they have all to themselves.

It’s not like anyone today protests directly to the billionaires.

CEO pay has skyrocketed 1,460% since 1978 (www.epi.org)

“average top CEO compensation was $15.6 million in 2021, up 9.8% since 2020. In 2021, the ratio of CEO-to-typical-worker compensation was 399-to-1 under the realized measure of CEO pay; that is up from 366-to-1 in 2020 and a big increase from 20-to-1 in 1965 and 59-to-1 in 1989”

msage ,

You are absolutely correct.

I also want to point out, that to those people socialism is when government does ‘bad’ things like helping the poor. When they ban abortions, it’s job well done.

msage ,

No, I use Portage

It was way less children than Covid has killed.

And it wasn’t like nobody cared, those parents had to go out of their way to not vaccinate their children.

msage ,

I saw the ending of the last F&F by mistake (they sold us tickets for a movie that started an hour later), and let me tell you - that was fucking dumb.

msage ,

You are advancing towards TolkienBoomer

msage ,

Doesn’t every browser on Apple hardware use Safari for rendering?

msage ,

So it’s just an iOS thing, got it.

Still weird, I truly yearn for the Linux Phone

msage ,

Yeah, but too much Google involved

msage ,

Just use SQL. Even SQLite.

Record-breaking profits usually suggest that even when they have all the money, they will not pay the devs much.

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...

How in the hell is being a customer mistaken for entitled?

“Corps can fuck you over” - but they always do, and always will.

Fortunately they also ‘suck’ at development, since even Xbox is nowadays using same CPU architecture as desktops, so good luck locking that in. And it’s not even like we don’t emulate every other architecture that’s popular enough.

Also dunno why you left out AMD, they are doing a much better things for Linux than Nvidia.

Valve is the main one, and god knows what will happen once Gaben quits, though Valve always hated MS and tried to remove their dependency of then for years for their own benefit. But let’s not pretend Nvidia or Microsoft can just decide to remove Linux gaming at whim, as that’s just not true.

New automatics have lower fuel usage than manuals.

Manuals suck so hard, they gave me one when my car broke down, and my brother in christ there is almost no benefit to it.

I can choose my own gears on my dual-clutch automatic too, and it’s better in every way to the manual.

Hey babe, wake up

Also I would guess most people don’t have much saved up in the first place.

msage ,

You cab do that with Linux if you use backups/snapshots.

I’ve done it many times using LVM way back when.

msage ,

Gentoo is very good actually, specially if you have a modern CPU.

I tried it on my desktop, and I never want anything else.

OpenAI now tries to hide that ChatGPT was trained on copyrighted books, including J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series (www.businessinsider.com)

OpenAI now tries to hide that ChatGPT was trained on copyrighted books, including J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series::A new research paper laid out ways in which AI developers should try and avoid showing LLMs have been trained on copyrighted material.

msage ,

But OpenAI will do the same?

msage ,

It’s literally not, wtf.

Do not let any private entity to get overwhelming majority on anything period.

But do not kid yourself that Microsoft will let OpenAI do anything for public once it gets big enough.

OpenAI is open only in name after they rolled back all the promises of being for everyone.

msage ,

Yeah, they might not copyright it, but after it becomes the ‘one true AI’, it will be at the hands of Microsoft, so please do not act friendly towards them.

It will turn on you just like every private company has.

(don’t mean specifically you, but everyone generally)

msage ,

I very much prefer every product of multiplication of 9 up to 3000 in a descending order.

Ypu get to see a lot more than the fizzbuzz. And still very easy task. Then you can ask about processing and memory optimizations.

msage ,

Your mom

msage ,

Yes, let’s fucking download software from a GitHub repo!

And then bitch how Linux isn’t user friendly, because you… might have to download software from a GitHub repo?

msage ,

So my all-purpose PC is now limited by the intentions of the silicone manufacturer, and therefore it’s better than the other options?

msage ,

I guess it’s like smoking.

You know it’s bad for you, and it costs a lot, but it’s a hassle to drop, so you just keep smoking anyway.

msage ,

I dislike this take to much.

First of all, crypto doesn’t protect you from scams, just look around you.

If you get ‘one true crypto’, you get locked in by its architecture, and there’s always someone who controls said architecture. The chain is decentralized, but the core is not.

Also, tickets are controlled almost exclusively by a central authority, which owns the venues, so there is no way in hell they will let you keep a ledger of every purchase of every ticket. It’s better for them to keep it concealed.

There is so much bullshit in the crypto hype, it’s almost funny.

If you want to put crypto anywhere, do the stock market first, and then get back to me.

msage ,

You need to teach people how to verify that their purchase for not counterfeited. Since the bar is not techological, and never will be.

We had way back when a ‘web of trust’, that actually solved a lot more problems than crypto ever did. But people never understood it, so it never got mainstream adoption.

If you don’t know a thing about stock market then it makes sense you could suggest NFTs for it, but you can actually divide shares into fractions.

msage ,

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique digital identifier that is recorded on a blockchain, and is used to certify ownership and authenticity. It cannot be copied, substituted, or subdivided.

So just… no.

You mentioned elsewhere that people attack you instead of approaching you in a discussion.

And it’s very hard when you seem to misunderstand very basic facts. Which is why people might not be interested in what you might have to say.

msage ,

Then why… you know what, doesn’t matter.

It’s definitely not an NFT then. Let’s just leave it at that.

msage ,

I did, and you pretending I didn’t is even less discussion-worthy.

So have a good day, and I wish you all the best.

msage ,

Do I have to post the non-fungible part again?

It’s not an argument, it’s people pushing random bullshit onto clueless consumers who lap it up.

It’s been this way since always. Even tech-literate people fall into traps propagated by the ‘current hype’ scammers. Even in software development people keep rediscovering the same solutions over and over again, repackaged like ‘Wow look at this super cool new thing’.

Most problems today aren’t technical. Technology will not be able to solve them, and many problems will be made much worse with new technologies because of how this society is set up.

So crypto (and all its ilk) will not in any way change the world. It will only keep it as it was set up.

msage ,

If you have nothing but deflection, don’t accuse others of not discussing with you properly.

msage ,

I do a lot of productive things in a day, thank you.

You never really said anything, so I’m not mourning your departure.

msage ,

And he comes

They are just bragging.
