Is this just Linux propaganda, or how much of it is true?
I mean im not going to watch it but really anyone who installs windows onto their hardware should have no problem with a decent linux distro. That being said many people don't do that and use what the manufacturer puts on the hardware. since steam is making hardware with linux installed its a big deal.

I mean I have been lucky in that most of my jobs are less soul crushing than others but work is always going to be somewhat soul crushing.

that would likely be run by the executive. I do think congress should move many departments to be under congress with it being clear the president is just a day to day manage. much like the ceo and board of directors thing.

What do you think about the dead internet theory?
Most every human I know is on the internet but they are increasingly not liking it and increasingly only using it as necessarily.

you were the one who suggested because people put them up. that implies individuals. public ones have never been popular with people but sure are with governments.

More Malicious OpenClaw Skills Threaten AI Supply Chain
Reply in thread
this is my thing. Why isn't ai making ideal matches of jobs and canidates instead of both sides saying ai is making it worse. AI appears to be a technology for active enshitification. Don't get me wrong its interesting but I don't see any proof its done anything of substance that is useful (well the llms not the algorithm traditional ai that never got the hyper buzz)

AI crash coming closer? South Korea’s Kospi plunges 10%, triggers trading halt
Honestly I think the circuit breakers at small levels like 10% are part of the reason the market is sorta messed up. more companies should have crashed and burned.

COVID-19 vaccine study that was blocked from CDC journal is published elsewhere
Reply in thread
vaccines are not some guaranteed panacea. It basically trains your immune system to fight the infection without actually getting the infection. Its the reason for a variety of symptoms you get from a vaccine because it triggers your immune system so it becomes active. So it relies on the strength of the immune system and how up to date the vaccine is. Variations will be helped by an older vaccine but not as much as it would if it was targeted to the variant. It gives you no more protection than you get from getting the disease (this is a bit debateable but generally true) you just don't have to suffer the actuall consequences of the disease or knock on effects from when it wrecks your body. Add to this that contagious disease is dependent on viral loads. So how much virus you are exposed to. Its why masks are effective even if they are a piec or cloth over your face. Well made and fitting ones that are made of materials that only allow particles below a very small sized get in are much more effective but there is some effectiveness for anything. even a face shield that does not seal the face. Its also why distancing work as someone producing viruses will have them disperse in the air volume in that equilibrium kind of way. Most viruses only survive so long although the time is dependent on media and things like sunlight (uv rays). It does seem crazy someone would get vaccinated and get it 6 times but if they like work in a hospital covid ward and don't mask it would not be surprising (although I find it hard for that scenario to happen). If its an active pandemic and they don't mask and spend every night in a crowded bar and have kids that go to a crowded shool and such. Its possible.

Is gaming better as a kid or an adult?
I mean rpgs are closer to virtual worlds now. I gotta give it to adult just based on games being better than I was a kid. still love that old sega shadowrun though.

Do you ask polyamorous people they're polyamorous?
Reply in thread
I would think this would come up at some point. Usually all couples sorta get to the exclusivity question at some point. No one expects after one date the other person won't see other people.
