So, this is the place where I’m going to be generally hanging out and trolling around, while my Pixelfed, Mastodon, and Blacksky accounts are going to be primarily art posting accounts.
I’m also going to start to be active more on here than on lemmy.org, so I’m making this my primary Lemmy account now.
I’ll link the other socials I’m varying levels of active on below, plus my lemmy.org account which I’m demoting to my secondary account if that instance is going to be more unstable from now on.
This would be a perfect sysadmin career pipeline if Dutch universities could move to FOSS tools and Linux; think about it - if the universities run on Linux, said universities could offer a sysadmin course and basically grow more sysadmins and open up a new line of work for people that may actually have some staying power.
They’d both get job training and a degree that could be used outside the school at the same time.
I’m an old head, having daily-driven Linux since 2012, and so far it’s been great. And the current pathetic state of Windows further reinforces my resolve to not go back to running that OS, or when or if I do end up running it, only doing so in a VM or on a secondary machine.
Due to the downward spiral Windows is going on right now, it ain’t touching baremetal on my main system, and that includes LTSC. I genuinely do not trust Windows outside of a VM or burner box.
TTRPGs in general do, to the degree where there’s an entire scene of people making their own characters around that.
Well, first off this week’s my birthday week, secondly I’m able to play with chalk again now that I got some hairspray for fixative coming in (I missed that medium).
I drew these during that chalk play session.
They’re currently sitting in empty spaces on a rack waiting to get fixed down with the aforementioned hairspray.
Because in the case of YT, Google incentivizes slop farms, or at least they used to, supposedly they’re cracking down on slop farms now, but I don’t believe for a second that it’s for a good reason, instead why I think Google is allegedly cracking down on slop farms is to eliminate competition for their homegrown Veo 3 slop.
If Copilot is permanently built into Windows with no way to remove it regardless of SKU, then bye Windows.
RPis have been pulling off Linux on ARM pretty well in terms of software support for a while now, but they’re also tinkering boards and not necessarily good for a daily driver.
I’m surprised they allow VMs, I would’ve assumed given shit like this is generally even worse than the worst gaming anticheats when it comes to invasiveness, that VMs would’ve been blocked too.
No, the US needs to really heavily regulate AI before it destroys every line of work other than slinging a mop or working a skilled trade, and before it destroys everyone’s water supply and potentially the power grid itself.
In fact, if the EPA wasn’t gutted, AI companies would be in deep shit right now for how they’re ravaging the environment with their datacenters currently.
Oh shit, who would’ve guessed Meta tried to abuse their userbase and then sweep it under the rug… /sarcasm
Of course they’d do this, this is fully expected behavior for them.
Then I booted into Windows and in less than 10 minutes was fed up the whole OS. I realized I had to look up things just as often as I was on Linux, but in Linux it was because I didn’t know where it was, where as on Windows it was actively hidden from me and fighting me every step of the way. Windows is in no way easier, It’s just the struggle you’ve gotten so used to fighting with every single day that you’ve forgotten it exists.
I’m not even going to sugarcoat it, Windows treats you like you’re a freakin’ idiot, and that applies to all SKUs, although the Home SKU is the absolute worst of the bunch about treating its users like they’re too dumb for their own good.
Linux, and also BSD too for that matter, at least actually respects its users’ intelligence, because Windows sure as hell doesn’t.
Oh, I did. Thankfully. I even predated smartphones becoming an actual problem in school, and I assume you did too.
Can’t say I’m surprised given how much Qualcomm has prioritized Windows over Linux support for years now.
If I were that ten-year-old, I still would rather actually draw, paint, or craft for real than to let an LLM do it for me. Hell, I still would rather create for real than let an LLM do it for me even now when I’m much older.
No, but really, it’s more fun especially for an actual kid, to play with things like crayons, paints, or any other sort of art or craft supplies, than to type in a prompt, let alone for older people.
If you ever get the glitter out though, keep it in a tray or else you’ll be cleaning it up for the rest of your life, lmao.
Not to mention for-profit schools, at least in the US.
Not for kernel-level stuff, shit like this requires a baremetal Windows install generally.
Kid: I wanna do art
You: here’s GIMP and Blender, have fun
What else is needed?
The fucked-up thing is these hulking beasts are a recent construct, we used to have genuinely small trucks here once.
A stock S10 from the '80s, '90s, or early '00s is going to be significantly smaller than a stock Colorado you can pick up new off the lot right now, for example, and that S10 would’ve been more than good enough for things like basic junk runs to the scrapyard or for hardware store runs for things like bags of sand or whatever.
