Doesn't a fork or butterknife have the same risk of injury? Maybe even a toothbrush if you go walking around your house while brushing.

And if you have the straw, you should also have the special brush for them.

This is the beverage equivalent of asking "how do you do X on Linux?" and the response you get is "you shouldn't want to do X".

Worst. Answer. Ever.

Honestly, the thing that is broken is people's intelligence. The people propping up the mobile games industry, Mr. Beast videos, AI music, "Verticals", etc. are all people I've never met, and yet somehow represent the vast majority of our population. Those are the people who don't care about the difference between novel artwork, and a half-assed slop recreation that's designed to poke their dopamine receptors. Those people are why we can't have nice things.

Someone will inevitably argue, "no, it's the billionaires who are thrusting AI on us, we just need to stop them". And while I agree they showed us the path here, I think we could erase the lot of them from existence, and the remaining population would still use the knowledge leftover to keep going down the same path.

I don't know if it's just that the existence of AI will curse humanity to always very efficiently optimize to the lowest common denominator, or if this will pressure the LCD to not be so far down there, but whatever shakes out I don't think will be in our lifetimes...

The fact that you are randomly promoting this site makes me wary of your account too.

You aren't ever going to recreate the same experience with an emulator. If you want to experience those games as intended, your only option is to buy physical hardware made for playing them.

You are referring to closed source unofficial cracks/patches/keygens. That is not the situation at hand. If those unofficial releases were open source in a time before AI, people would almost implicitly trust them.

The question above was asking why people were hesitant about this codebase even though it is open source. And the reason is that it was written by an unknown bot (or rather, series of bots) whose motives are inconsistent and unpredictable even to its prompter. It doesn't mean it's not safe, but it means that literally no human can currently be certain it's safe. Without sufficient effort, we cannot yet know for certain that there isn't a very cleverly obfuscated piece of malware lurking in this source.

Remember that correlation is not causation. You may believe there is correlation between unofficial releases and malware, and that may be true, but that does not mean it is causal. The point I'm making is that there is a literal causal relationship between unaudited AI reverse engineered code, and malware. And that is what is new and people need to be aware of.

He literally used video game kiting strats to pull him away from the bike so he had enough time to sprint to it and mount it.

Lol they said that and my first thought was, "what, is there a risk of some billionaire CEO bursting into the courtroom to exact revenge?"

I choose to use my fame and platform to be a place of safety and sanctuary, to maintain diplomacy and keep conversations open, not closed.

He also keeps explaining to me why Fedora better than my “nerd OS”

lol he's already a true linux user.

But probably best to have a talk about gatekeeping linux though. There's no wrong way to run linux.

After a decade of wondering why my friends still used Instagram, they're finally talking about uninstalling it this week. So I'm all for these new features, keep em coming zuck!

Given recent performances I think most boxing fans won't mind seeing him being escorted back across the border

Am I the only one who thinks this is unsportsmanlike to say? If someone is worth fighting against inside the ring, then they're worth fighting with outside the ring.

Oregon allows public nudity specifically for protests.

I know it will take a lot of bravery, but I honestly believe they should organize full nude, and completely calm protests. The optics of sending the military against protestors who are so little of a threat that they are actually completely nude is powerful.

This post missed the most important part people should know: someone is footing the bill for you to use this service. If you're not paying, they will make their money in whatever what they choose. Potential resulting in you becoming the product. Yes, even on lemmy. So if your instance mod needs funding, kick em a few bucks, be their customer.

It's actually really funny to see review bomb attempts on a non-profit FOSS project. No shareholders to appease, no profits to they need to protect, just a community of people contributing to the tool they use.

It plots every genre of music on a 2D spectrum ("The calibration is fuzzy, but in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier.")

You can click on any genre and get band recommendations.

Or you can search for a specific band and find other bands plotted similarly.

According to Macklemore, Sheeran was told by venues to cut him, or cancel the whole tour. Sheeran tries to remain non-political as part of his brand. But it really feels like we're up against the sad point where, if just saying "don't genocide people" makes you "political", then refusing to be political makes you a piece of shit.

I think a lot of artists are still riding this line between staying safe and potentially nuking their entire career. I won't act like that's an easy decision for anyone to make, but obviously looking from the outside it's easy to see what the right decision is.

Time will tell. There's still time for Ed to walk out on stage at his biggest show of the tour, throw a fist in the air, and say Free Palestine. I've had zero thoughts about him up until this point, but that would at least give me one shred of respect for him.

What year is it? Are they going to be offended by SouthPark next?

In the last 10 years there has been a seemingly noteworthy uptick in hardware bugs in both intel and amd CPUs. Security researchers find and figure out potential attack vectors that rely on these bugs (ex. Specter/Meltdown). Then operating systems have to put workarounds in their kernel code to ensure that these hypothetical attack vectors are accounted for, at the cost of performance and more complicated code.

Linus is saying how annoyed he is with all this extra work they have to do, resulting in worse performance, all to plug vulnerabilities that we've never actually seen any real attackers use. He's saying instead we should just write the code how it should be, and if the hardware is insecure, let it be the hardware company's problem when customers don't use the hardware.

The problem is, customers will continue to use the hardware and companies who need a secure OS (all of them) will opt to not use Linux if it doesn't plug these holes.

He switched to linux a while back. Now he's trying to switch as much of the rest of his digital life to FOSS/non-profit stuff. He advocates for duckduckgo, firefox, paid email, graphene os, selfhosted vaultwarden, nextcloud, anything but google maps, kodi, etc.
