its the mark of the beast man, its inverts your heaven particles to hell particles making you an unwitting agent of Satan /s

slacktoid ,

Be Slackware. Dont use systemd.

slacktoid ,

Its the BBC. If they call the israelis war criminals they will have to have a deeper closer look at themselves for all their war crimes. This way they were just quirked up settlers.

slacktoid ,

The british. The state whose mouthpiece they actually are.

As a linux user, do you know about/use openwrt?

I have many nerdy friends who have been Linux users for ages. But most of them don’t know such a thing as Openwrt exists or have never bothered to give it a try. It’s a very fun piece of software to play with and can be extremely useful for routing traffic. Wondering why it isn’t more popular/widely used.

slacktoid ,

This is so cool!!

slacktoid ,

This is super cool!!

slacktoid ,

The parents will ask for the govt to do something stupid like this.

slacktoid ,

And the millionaire class.

Hi my name ia jared and i did high school lacrosse. can i get a job mr ai sir?

slacktoid ,

I mean if it would improve the accessibility of linux (as in for people with disabilities, not non linux users) then it would be necessary and cool.

Flacs on a server direct streamed to my source. Jellyfin is nice. for on the move I buy sony phones just cause they still have a headphone jack. I prefer to download what i want before i leave but also not a big deal. at home i use moodeaudio attached to my setup or kodi

slacktoid ,

I own and buy games from GOG. Especially if its a game i like. That way its actually mine. I hope they never change.

slacktoid ,

Gog has no drm. So effectively who cares.

slacktoid ,

I thought i just had to avoid getting on a Boeing, now i have to watch out for the ones in the sky?

slacktoid ,

No. We exist.

slacktoid ,

Thats capitalism and reddit.

slacktoid ,

Maybe we need to change how academia is done. But i dunno i might be crazy.

slacktoid ,

The people who downvoted are complete silly billys.

slacktoid ,

Must be an acquired taste. sorry shit sucks. (wrt this)

slacktoid ,

Sounds like you deserve more than 15.50 friend.

slacktoid ,

Yeah that always grinds my gears

Apple (slrpnk.net)

I don’t care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the “blue vs green bubble” drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure...

slacktoid ,

Checkout sailfishOS. You can run android apps on it.

slacktoid ,

Network effect. Same reason why you should use firefox (or alts) as much as possible over chromium (or alts).

slacktoid ,

Probably talk to Tay for inspiration

slacktoid ,

Sailfish oh yea

slacktoid ,

Derek?

slacktoid ,

They were busy with other things like making sure things work.

slacktoid ,

Nailed it! for real tho i need some marketing person to come in and eli5 about why i need a logo.

slacktoid ,

For android, since you didnt specify. I love eternity. I used to use infinity for reddit and its just a fork of that. Its clean, minimal, and crazy customizable.

slacktoid ,

Ollama is a nice server base, they lots of projects that plug on top of that.

Google to pause Gemini AI image generation after refusing to show White people. (www.foxbusiness.com)

Google to pause Gemini AI image generation after refusing to show White people.::Google will pause the image generation feature of its artificial intelligence model, Gemini, after the model refused to show images of White people when prompted.

slacktoid ,

Theres no such thing as too much John Oliver. this guy doesnt know what they are talking about.

slacktoid ,

Do you know what word2vec is and how those vectors are generated?

slacktoid ,

Answer the question.

slacktoid ,

Well you dont know how these models work then. Bye.

slacktoid ,

I assumed your answer was no you do not know what word2vec is and how those vectors are generated. and since word2vec is a fundamental building block of llms you dont know how those models work.

slacktoid ,

Its only a gotcha question if you dont know what it is. I mean youre talking about something so authoritatively.

I was ready for a genuine conversation until ‘Whats your point’ which told me you weren’t going to be open to a conversation. And im too tired for this shit.

I see we are on the same side on a lot of things overall and i dont want some fringe thing to be a point of contention. Hope to see you around. Keep it sleazy.

slacktoid ,

I see no value in dunking on people but i wasnt memeing either, I had a direct question to ask, and i dont know what the appropriate emoji is. Additionally, emojis get read differently by different people recreating the same issues with text. Communication is hard i just choose to not assume people are here to dunk on me (at least on lemmy). I want (especially from more labor minded people) to not talk about AI in a callous “plagiarism machine” way. There are issues with it and its here to stay.

I mean you can check people post and comment history fairly easily and gauge how they interact.

slacktoid ,

Use matrix, setup bridge (defederate from matrix network if you want), meet your friends where theyre at.

slacktoid ,

I just used the guides by mautrix for the respective bridges. docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/setup.htmlthere are instructions for a bunch there that work well. What was the issue you faced?

slacktoid ,

Its an open standard for communications (like xmpp, but the new hotness) with a focus on federating IRC chat. (lot of cool work on state resolution by them wrt that). So you can communicate with people on different matrix servers as long as they federate with each other. Additionally, they have built in support for bridges that let you connect to other people via matrix giving you a seamless experience on that service via matrix. Lemme know if you need more clarifications.

slacktoid ,

Can we collectively short it?

slacktoid ,

I mean its a midoff. And at that point fuck it crack a beer or tea or something

slacktoid ,

They are too busy looking at titties or cocks

slacktoid , (edited )

Thats still a bullshit vague intro. Like you still need to feed it what you are introducing and ideally how you want to get there. Again. This depends if this is an English writing class or anything else. Cause the point of the essay is to convey the point, knowing you need an intro is the key point, writing something to get into your meat is 40% of the boring bullshit you need to write in a report, the other 40% is the conclusion and formatting. Using AI to streamline that is not cheating unless its an English writing class. these are tools you use to convey your point better. You need a point to begin with.

This is like saying calculators are gonna make math homework easier. Make better homework!

and its not like these AI detection tools arent snakeoil either.

slacktoid ,

My point is the tool is out there and you cant definitively prove that someone used AI. So we better figure out how to use it and test with the assumption that someone’s using it. chatgpt is a fucking inaccurate mess. If you as a professor cant catch up with that youre using not doing your job. and using these AI detection tools is stupid and doesnt fix the problem. So what do we do now?

slacktoid ,

My point is this tool exist and you cant for certain say that someone is using this tool. If you want to give someone a real education find a way to make sure they learn despite that. If you end up using AI for a nuanced essay its not going to answer that properly and a teacher would grade that as sub par work. Good work with the AI would be to act as an editor and determining if whats said is accurate and if it should be in your paper. Bad work with the AI would be to not be an editor. There is still a job the students has to do and learn.

I say this as someone who grades work handed in by students.

slacktoid ,

Oh yeah if its just basic homework then coursehero and those kinda sources are the problem and to me the bigger problem is a lot of homework is lazy, its just prove you’ve read the texbook shit. Homework needs to get more analytical.

i believe the oppisite should happen, like take home tests, the professor knows the student is going to open the textbook and copy so make the question such that we are evaluating you to think. if you’ve ever had an open book advanced math course then you’ll have an idea as to what homework should to become with more time window.
