Second that. AI these days: as if nobody here could create a screenshot from its steam library: like Berin@discuss.tchncs.de already did. I bet prompting AI even took longer to create that shitty version of a steam library.

I find it rather amusing that big servers are optimized to never fail with redundant pdus and fans and the like but as soon as you have to restart such a device, prepare for 10-20 minute downtime.

My take is: before we had ssds so that a shitty configured windows pc could take up to 5-10 mins to boot, that really was a problem. Nowadays, especially were many devices use suspend instead of shutdown and are much faster, not any more.

On the other hand, my fucking smart tv takes 2 minutes to boot and i hate it.

There is a big difference. If a platform belongs to a single entity, you can pressure that entity especially if its profit driven. If there are thousands interconnected platforms that only share an open protocol the most you can do is shutdown a single instance. That's why an open protocol creating decentralized instances is so much different than a centralized platform. It's like trying to ban email or censor speak: not that has never been tried, but that is a whole different cup of tea.

Why don't you explain in detail what you mean with "No."?!

Until then you are just a troll wasting all our time.

Exceptionally well written and interesting blog post. Kudos to FrostKiwi!

So, while the Infinite Monkey Theorem is true, it is also somewhat misleading.

Is it though? The Monkey Theorem should make it understandable how long infinity really is. That the lifetime of the universe is not long enough is nothing unexpected IMHO, infinity is much (infinitely) longer. And that's what the theorem is about, isn't it?!

That's why they invented docker

Pazuzu@midwest.social explained above:

The original post only gave half the explanation. It’s not that lead exists in general, it’s that lead exists within zircon crystals.

Under normal circumstances that would be impossible, zircon crystals strongly reject lead atoms as they form. There’s no way to stuff lead into the crystal lattice in the quantity we find them there. But uranium and zircon go together just fine, we just have to wait for it to decay into lead. The trouble is it takes ~4.5 billion years for just half of those uranium atoms to turn into lead. So any zircon crystal we find with half as much lead as uranium must be roughly that old

Linux is pretty forgiving. You don't even need to use dd, if you know what you are doing you can create a totally new partitioning format and just copy the files. Since getting the fstab just right in that case is more error prone, just using dd is simpler. If using dd, don't worry, you can resize partition afterwards.

Look: it's a hat

No, for fucks sake: I have no idea how Linux works and expect to be proficient after I installed ubuntu once. Must be Linux that is bad if my apt repositories don't work on arch. Fuck it, I'll go back to windows

"Allowed and supported" is something different then "its possible". The article mentions some points that seemingly haven't been "supported" in the past:

• Stop requiring Google Play Billing for apps distributed on the Google Play Store (the jury found that Google had illegally tied its payment system to its app store)
• Let Android developers tell users about other ways to pay from within the Play Store
• Let Android developers link to ways to download their apps outside of the Play Store
• Let Android developers set their own prices for apps irrespective of Play Billing

Google also can’t:

• Share app revenue “with any person or entity that distributes Android apps” or plans to launch an app store or app platform
• Offer developers money or perks to launch their apps on the Play Store exclusively or first
• Offer developers money or perks not to launch their apps on rival stores
• Offer device makers or carriers money or perks to preinstall the Play Store
• Offer device makers or carriers money or perks not to preinstall rival stores

Thanks Mr. Epic Judge

Mate, you have zero experience how to drive but feel the need to tell others what is save and what not?

Can people please shut up talking about topics they know nothing about?!

It definitely gets easier after muscle memory kicks in. Doesn't really make a difference if manual or automatic.

That was my first linux distro I tried, took 12 minutes to boot on my Pentium 75 with 8mb RAM. Still better then win98 though

to see it smash

I'm not really sure why I expected here but I was satisfied anyway

Give it two more years and brave will stop backporting manifestv2, then you have even less options to avoid google deciding which content needs to be shoved in your face.

I'm using Firefox since forever. In the past I have checked a few times if a swap to chromium is worth it. It never was.

I really don't understand people that prefer Google over Mozilla. Firefox works like a charm and Google already knows enough about us IMHO.

I think they are saying that in their revised universe there would be an absolute humanity spanning moral code.

I think what we have is something much better. A flexible morality which is taught from generation to generation and adapted as needed. An absolut moral code wouldn't work.

Funny enough, that's exactly the way it actually is. And I believe this system still works; not that we could change it anyway.

And the things that that moral code decide are bad are bad always for everyone regardless.

Still, this is how it is. It discourages immoral actions even when nobody sees them happening, because the person doing them still knows and feels bad/shame/worries.

It's fucking crazy. I see it like that: capitalism is king at maximizing profits. That's what capitalism is good at. Capitalism is a tool.

I hate it when someone expects big corporations to act morally. That's none of its business. Again, capitalism is just a tool that does one thing: maximizing profit. Just like the hammer is not at fault if you hit your thumb the corporations aren't at fault if their profit maximizing does more harm then good.

We, the people, the benficianries of why capitalism even exists, are responsible to use that tool the right way in the right situations.

And how do we do that? By creating rules and laws that restrict the ways profit can be maximized in situations where it is not at our best interest.

Now please tell me:

Whose fucking idea was it to allow corporations to hire a few dozen lobbyists that professionally influence politicians?

Why should a corporation be allowed to sponsor the election of a person? Don't you think this is already way too much influence for the cancer that capitalism can be if allowed to grow unconditionally at the wrong places?

Please stop letting immoral corporations influence the rules they need to obey for some irrelevant profit gains that fuck us all over big time in the long run! (fracking anyone?)

The market will sort itself out, or so they say. Let's be brave and create rules that help us tackle the myriad of problems we all experience right now (global warming, housing crises, health insurance, gun violance...) and watch in awe how the corporations manage to find ways to make a profit while still benefiting us as a whole.

That's how you use a tool!

Peace out

P.S.: Critique at my train of thoughts or writing style is appreciated. I'm rather stoned right now and english isn't my first language, so please be gentle.

So, let's say we create an llm that will be fed will all the copyrighted data and we design it, so that it recalls the originals when asked?! Does that count as piracy or as the kind of legal shananigans openai is doing?

Tried it for a few days. It works just like firefox minus one embedded video that crashed after 5 secs but worked in ordinary firefox.

What really surprised me was the speed. Loading youtube on firefox ~0.6 on zen ~0.1 which felt rather nice. I'm still not sure if its worth the hassel to switch.
