The Prisoner's Dilemma is a game theoretic concept, not a psychology experiment, and cops use it all the time to successfully get suspects to rat each other out or provide confessions in exchange for certain plea deals.

Play stupid games...

Thanks for the info!

I've been on Nobara for a few years and have generally loved it. Lately I've been thinking about switching to Cachy.

I've just been a little annoyed with Fedora in general recently, and I am nervous that Nobara is not only based on Fedora, but also is maintained by only one person.

How has gaming been overall on CachyOS? Any issues with Steam, Proton, Lutris, or any other gaming-related software?

I've been enjoying void on an old Thinkpad just to mess with. How's the gaming experience been on it? Any issues with Steam/Proton running well?

Easily smart and slightly below average attractiveness. It's pretty trivial to boost your appearance by 2-3 "points" with some decent fashion choices, makeup, working out, and good grooming.

Worst case, I use my high intelligence to get a high paying job and use some of the money for plastic surgery.

Pay tribute to your king, bootlicker.

Got my tickets a few days ago, hoping for a win!

history | grep command you're searching for

That will return all commands you've typed that contain that keyword. Helps if you remember part of a command, but can't remember the specific flags or the proper format.

If there are common commands that you use over and over, turn them into a Bash script and name the script something descriptive.

I do that for long commands that I don't want to type out, like my whole system update workflow: sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo flatpak update -y

I saved that as a Bash script and called it "update.sh" then I saved it in my home directory. Now whenever I want to do a full system update, I just type ./update.sh and it asks me for my password, then updates my whole system without me having to do anything else. I do this with several different tasks like my remote Ansible server updates.

Other than that, you can buy/make a linux command cheat sheet with the most common commands. Keep it with you or next to your computer. Look at it whenever you need a refresh.

tmux - makes managing remote SSH sessions a breeze.

tomb - A little FOSS encryption utility that runs in the CLI. Easy, cute, effective. Tomb Utility

Cognitive bias, for every hardcore drug addict/chain smoker who makes it into their 80's, there are hundreds who have long since died.

But I think there might also be something to the whole, "too mean to die" thing. Some people seem to use the energy they get from spite and rage to continue fighting off death.

There are two core issues I have with AI generated content:

1. Ownership - All the big players are using proprietary software, weights, models, training methods, and datasets to generate these models. On top of the lack of visibility, they have farmed millions of peoples data and content without their knowledge or consent. If it were up to me, all AI research and software would be 100% open source, public access, non-copyright. That includes all theoretical work in scientific publications, all code, all the datasets, the weights, the infrastructure and training methods, absolutely everything.
2. Lowest common denominator - AI has unleashed the ability for individuals and organizations to produce extremely low effort content at volumes that haven't been seen before. I hate how search results are becoming totally poisoned by AI slop. You just get pages and pages of sites that abuse SEO to become the top search result and are nothing more than click-farms to generate ad revenue. This is a systemic issue that stems from several things, primarily Capitalism, but also the way we cater to powerful corpos that push this sludge onto us.

I have no issue with AI tools that are actually helpful in their context. For instance, animation software that uses AI to help generate intermediate frames from your initial drawings. Screen reader software that uses AI to help sight-impaired folks with more accurate text-to-speech. AI tools that help with code completion, or debugging.

These are all legitimate uses of the technology, but sadly, all of that is being overshadowed by mountains of sludge being shoved on us at every level. Because those implementations aren't going to make rich people even richer, they aren't going to temp investors to dump billions more into AI startups and corpo tech. Helping blind people and indie animation studios is boring and low-profit, therefore in a Capitalist system, it gets shoved to the bottom of the stack while the high-margin slop gets pumped down our throats.

Round two?

For the little distro hopper in your family!

Richard Dawkins, the only man with the balls to say what nobody else is thinking.

Cringe as usual, I never liked the guy. A pretentious old windbag imo.

I'm currently learning it. I like the concept, and no other conlang/auxlang has become as widely spoken or treated as seriously as Esperanto. There are actually children who are native speakers, as in Esperanto is their first language, no other conlang can claim that.

However, as many users here have pointed out, it has problems. It's very Euro-centric. So while it is easy for romance language speakers to pick up, if you are from a different language family, it's no picnic.

There is also the issue of relevance. Esperanto has a fairly active online community, you can pretty easily find Discord servers and forums with several hundred to 1000+ active speakers from all over the world.

If you are lucky, there are local clubs and groups that meet up in person and speak Esperanto to each other.

Esperanto has also been shown, at least in children, to aid in learning a second language. Learning Esperanto helps you get used to the process of learning a language in general, and basically gives it to you in easy mode.

But if your goal to learn a second language is utility, then Esperanto almost certainly isn't a good choice. For instance, I live in the US, and not in a region that has a high Hispanic population. That being said, I still encounter 3-5 people a month who are Spanish speakers. So even for me, learning to speak conversational Spanish would be much more useful as a second language than Esperanto.

That's actually my long term plan, to start with Esperanto because I really struggle with learning languages, even Spanish has been too tough for me. But Esperanto has made it easier so far, and it's fun.

Ultimately, Esperanto would have been a far better world language than English, which annoyingly has become the de-facto world language, and I say that as a native English speaker.

I don't see anything like Esperanto arising anytime soon, if ever. If you think it's cool, learn it, you'll at least learn how to learn a foreign language better and you'll maybe find some new friends online, can't complain about that.

I've really been enjoying Fish on my personal laptop.

What a poor soul, started out only making half a million dollars a year?? 😑
