  • "I would like to point out that the social media network survived..." -Elon Hammer

  • I think the cops are useless at best and evil at worst and im pro gun/pro CC, I find that our model of capitalism has failed but I'd rather we revert to the political economic ideas of Henry George rather than Karl Marx. Not that either is possible without violent overhaul most likely. Even just a reframing of capitalism to correct for John Adams era economic fallacies would face nigh impossible resistance from those who have already taken most of the pie.

    So yeah, we exist. It's just that we tend to get crowded out due to not falling in line with either ideology. I've been called everything from RINO to fascist.

  • I considered uploading this as well, under the title "How to break a Gabe Loving Communist brain"

    Glad to see I wasn't alone lol

  • Tech bros just reinstall Arch a thousand times, IT workers actually know how those OSs operate in an enterprise environment and how to fix all of the services that they correlate to.

  • That's true for all OSs though, you might be a target of convenience but the money is in enterprise networks.

  • You go far enough in either direction and it's all just authoritarianism.

  • Fascinating, because I just looked it up on there in addition to the English heritage dictionary which I originally used. The specific use case of discriminate being used in a social prejudice sense was even closer to the bottom than in my original post. So your specific dictionary doesn't even support your claim, it's predominantly used to describe being able to identify differences in a set of items.

    MW dictionary:

    a : to mark or perceive the distinguishing or peculiar features of Depth perception may be defined as the ability to appreciate or discriminate the third dimension … —H. G. Armstrong b : DISTINGUISH, DIFFERENTIATE discriminate hundreds of colors 2 : to distinguish by discerning or exposing differences : to recognize or identify as separate and distinct discriminate right from wrong especially : to distinguish from another like object discriminate the individual voices in the choir intransitive verb

    1 a : to make a distinction discriminate among historical sources discriminates between literary fiction and popular fiction b : to use good judgment 2 : to make a difference in treatment or favor on a basis other than individual merit discriminate in favor of your friends discriminate against a certain nationality

  • Those servers are also sitting in and/or behind DMZs specifically configured with network based intrusion prevention systems to protect them.

    So while more valuable, they're also better protected because network security is a thing.

  • Yes, for the same reason that mercury in vaccines isn't a threat because it's under the LD50.

    Certain things are only an issue when they are in a specific concentration.

  • True, but that's the point.

    Linux isn't safer because it's more secure, it's safer because no one writing malware is going to target only 4% of the market when they could write malware for 60% of the market.

  • How is a netbook good for his use case? I don't think you could game on it unless you exclusively play Quake III.

  • I mean even main characters could have AI generated dialogue, you have the VA do the voice until there is enough sampling data to train a model on, and then you can use that for any small or side content.

    Then just have that characters AI model be owned by the actor and use of the voice gives them royalties for it. Then you can supplement actual lines with generated banter, etc. While still giving the VA compensation for their voice and likeness.

  • I don't know how Juniper compares to Aruba but it's been pretty good for me so far.

  • Sure, it's just that this specific text to speech voice is created by an AI via training data via voice samples.

    AI is more than just ChatGPT, it's an algorithm that can be applied to a lot of different things.

  • This solution shouldn't be that hard, just create an AI model for every individual "voice" or character and then license it for use or receive royalties on it.

    They'll probably use it as filler for side dialogue and then have the VA do all the main lines to really nail the human presence, since AI isn't as good at emotional inflection.

  • As someone who's only ever used GNOME and has a Nobara install, what would the transition be like and is it worth it to reimage my machine with a KDE N39 install?

  • I've never installed Windows 11 outside of assisting company IT, but we have install media/network based images we can push.

    I'm referring to W10, I don't like 11 at all.

  • They're always skinny-fat, too. Like if you were a meat titan or something I might consider the "Low T" argument at least logical. But when you're smaller than me and think your political affiliation makes you more masculine... Well.

  • It's funny because I've built like six Windows machines and the install process is always a snap. You just select what drive to install to, what telemetry options you want on/off, and then press start.

    You don't even have to have an Internet connection/Microsoft account if you don't want to, you can just create a local one.

    I don't understand how you guys have such a hard time with it. Certain distros of Linux are pretty easy to get going, but Windows is only hard if you refuse to leave your Linux knowledge bubble, ever.

    Sure we can talk about how you have to go in and do X and Y in order to get it configured how YOU want, but that shit applies in Linux too.
