1 In 5 Boys Know Someone Their Age Who's In A Relationship With An AI Chatbot
All very troublesome numbers, but the headline doesn't come back in the article and seems quite overstated. If boys mostly know 100 people their age and they all know that same person in an AI relationship. It's really 0.2% of the agegroup that are in a relationship with AI. Not good, but vastly smaller that the other figures, like creating naked depictions of other people.

I wonder if internally the emoji's are added through a different mechanism that doesn't pick up the original request. E.g. another LLM thread that has the instruction "Is this apologetic? If it is, answer with exactly one emoji." After this emoji has been forcefully added, the LLM thread that got the original request is trying to reason why the emoji would be there, resulting in more apologies and trolling behaviour.

ArchLinux doesn't boot after computer lost power during system update
Reply in thread
This is the command I used after unlocking the luks device in a rescue environment and confirming it not mounting further:
sudo btrfs rescue zero-log /dev/mapper/luksroot
After that, I could mount again and boot.
Here's more info on the command, to verify advice is sound: https://manpages.debian.org/testing/btrfs-progs/btrfs-zero-log.8.en.html#zero
EDIT: For me it didn't happen during an update, btw. You might still need the chroot approach to make the system bootable again.

I've had this exact error a couple of weeks ago. You have to clear the replay log (and lose potentially 30 seconds of disk writes). Let's see if I can find exact instructions before the end of my commute.

EU top court upholds ruling on fingerprints for ID cards
Reply in thread
Good to mention that (in the Netherlands) when you've provided fingerprints for a new identification card, the fingerprints are wiped from any system after you've received the card, remaining only on the card itself.

If what the first commenter said is true. They will just implement RCS or an alternative in the EU and make up some reason why they can't or won't for the US market.

Is it known yet if the 9070 (XT) support HDMI2.1 in Linux
Reply in thread
That'd be fine by me, if I could also actually buy a good TV that supports DP.
On the other hand, I also think it's bullshit that I pay for HDMI through both my GPU & TV, and the HDMI forum still denies me that bought functionality.

It's been a while since I've watched it myself, but remember them going into the ownership structure.

There's basically no way for them to not make it a subscription model.

With the creation and use of ChatGPT and Bard, I bet ELI5 community and subreddit have had less posts, because people can just ask them instead.
Interestingly, as ChatGPT might be trained on these ELI5 questions and as a result they are asked more infrequently, it might get worse over time or out of date on these types of questions by its own doing. I especially wonder how bad this influence will get on subjects that you'd normally search stackoverflow for.

HDMI Forum is unwilling to disclose the 2.1 specification for open-source (Linux): according to AMD, they had submitted a functional, HDMI 2.1-compatible driver [for linux?], which the Forum rejected.

I mean, I agree. But I've waited long enough for a good OLED TV with DisplayPort. I don't get why they don't just add one.

Wikipedia is financially pretty stable, afaik. Not saying you shouldn't donate, but you might want to look into what happens with it. It won't necessarily be used to cover costs of running the website.

One time donation?
You can cancel when receiving the first reminder, or probably also immediately. Good initiative though, I might do the same.

I don't own a Steam Deck

Using Garuda Linux with KDE. Installed this package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gamescope-session-steam-git
Wrote some scripts that performs the switching like it's being done on ChimeraOS & the Steam Deck. Want to release them in a repository some time, but they're awfully hacky right now.
