I responded to your message, you have no answers so you resort to name calling

Ah, yes, ANOTHER post trying to make Linux seem impenetrable and elitist with an attack on Ubuntu - I swear you guys must work for Microsoft.

The problem is caused by eight billion people wanting to live full lives with meaning and purpose.

I guess your childhood was very different to mine, or more likely you'd currently living in a sealed community like the Amish but locked to cassette decks and big hair. For those of us living in reality things have changed massively since the 80s, even the US has more solar generation than coal generation, electric car usage is starting to dent oil demand, work from home and automation is starting to reduce commuting - but you wouldn't know about these things because they're only possible due to lots of advances that happened since you got frozen in the time bubble.

No its not perfect, life is hugely complex and global society even more so but less people die of dysentery every year, more industries move to sustainable models and ecologically safe practices all the time, and new options for people trying to create solutions reach the market everyday.

What do you think we should do? Shut off the oil snd let billions die as global society collapsed and chaos is unleashed as billions od desperate people destroy everything in a panic? Or more likely you don't have a solution because you don't care it's just an empty argument to help you avoid reality.

If you install a communist system will people magically not want food and water and entertainment? Did Deng modernise Mao s vision because the revolutionaries were all secretly CIA agents or because it's.not actually very easy to create a fully working centrally planned economy?

Just saying capitalism is the problem doesn't help anyone if your only solution is wishing upon a star.

That's such a pathetic response, you've heard the talking point that cobalt is mined in shitty conditions so that's your magic handwave to avoid having to actually interact with reality.

Yes that mobile phone you hate has completely changed the prospects of many of the poorest people on the planet, avoiding having to build cable infrastructure over Africa's complex geography has allowed remote communities to have access to emergency services, education, and all the other benefits of modern communication.

If you actually got involved in projects devoted to helping improve material conditions for impoverished people you'd know all this but of course you don't, you only care about the kids in Africa when you can use them to score s political point or to avoid engaging in society to a meaningful degree.

Your bullshit is paper thin, you pretend to be so worthy that you can't possibly participate in capitalism but you don't have any solutions beside sneering st everyone who is actually making positive changes in the world. You don't just want to be lazy you want to be celebrated as a moral hero for it.

Where is your solution? If every scientist, engineer, tech, office worker and operator is so evil and stupid for working under capitalism then where's your solution? How are you going to help all the people in shit situations AND transition away from unsustainable practices such as burning fossil fuels?

Oh, you don't have anything at all beside platitudes, slogans and snappy memes?

Anyone wondering t's because he was using a portable radio with a rubber duckie antenna instead of the straight metal whip antenna fixed to trucks.

Could be where the jeep gets its association too if they used to have an antenna fixing point marked on user manuals.

Every tiny change they try gets met with huge backlash, people still rage about plastic straws. It's got to be a cultural change too.

No one said its a magic wand, it's one of many things that could potrntislly help reduce the damage we do to the ecosystem.

Yes capitalism bad but there's eight billion people on the planet so a communist system would also need modern materials to allow everyone to live a good life.

Life is better due to millions of technological developments, no one said that this or anybtech will solve all the problems associated with keeping 8 billion people alive and happy but it's likely to have some important use cases which will combine with

That's not really true, they learn based on layers of data so it might have learned that a pope is a person in a silly outfit then the layer below that a person can be old or young, a range of ethnicities or genders... Thats why you can ask for gopnik pope or sexy pope.

You would expect it to make stereotypical old male popes but they had people write similar articles complaining that asking for doctor gave make doctors snd nurse was female so instead of telling people to ask for what they actually want they added nonsense to the promp - now people run and still don't ask for what they want and complain it goes the other way.

Ah yeah. I see they found evidence he was stealing money and the principle was investigating so he tried to get him canceled by fabricating racism.

Ha yeah honestly it's weird to me too but they were old boys and did a lot of odd things.

I started on Debian potato and used pretty much every distribution at sone point, often three at a time. I've used Ubuntu for the last five years because it's easy, stable and upto date. I know people get very minmax about their choice of os and I love that but yeah we need to remember when we say it's 'fine' or 'good enough' that yeah it's not race tuned or weaponised or whatever special builds people are making but ita still much much better than windows.

Did that guy who got arrested for making deep fakes that implicated a school official in corription get out yet or will he have to languish for years before it gets overturned?

You left out key information which I now suspect you knew very well would cause people to have a different response and you're using for paper thin excuses to try and justify it.

You know you're being deceptive and you should be ashamed.

All I'm saying is there is a difference and that it is deceptive to present it like it's one thing when it's something else because you know that it'll be more effective at convincing people of the thing you want them to think.

Just say what actually happened if you genuinely believe it's exactly as bad.

I think he was using it to align a speaker so that the cable drop would be vertical to the hole where the cable came out. It was something like that, it was about 25 years ago so details as hazy.

Science isn't magic, nothing gets invented in a single iteration. Don't let your hate for a single person blind you to reality, allowing someone who can't control a mouse to do so is breathtaking. it's not the first time it's happened but it's a big step forward and once testing and improvement stages have been completed we'll hopefully see more fluid links to other movement tools and technologies such as llms which will allow people totally dependent on help to live their own lives.

'That likely' so you've decided based on nothing except your preconceived opinions which are likely based in the first place on nothing more than 'it makes me feel good to believe this'

Watching his videos he's a clever snd self aware guy more than capable of thinking for himself. Hate Elon but you don't need to shit on the disabled by acting like being in a wheelchair means you can't think for yourself

Turns out the media and memes are pretty terrible at getting to the more complex truth and problem with things.

Alex is worse though, he uses this headline to push the idea the government is evil and the epa should be scrapped which is the exact opposite of what will help
