Honestly, trying to make a career out of Youtube/Twitch just seems miserable… Better to work for a place that actually gives you employee rights and job security.

Perhaps better to keep it as a hobby if they enjoy doing it. Means there’s less pressure.

None, I use Nix instead. :P

Just read this, it was really good at wrapping up the story and all the characters.

… Feels strange knowing it’s all over, though.

Okay, I’m curious now. Any neurotypicals in the audience, can you actually smile on command?

I’ve been using Source Code Pro for a while now. Might not be the best, but it does the job for me.

“Hate” and “Love” are complex things that are very ingrained into human nature. For an AI or robot to have these things, it would essentially have to emulate or implement a human mind. Such a thing is currently very far beyond our current technology level, and arguably isn’t even a goal of many AI projects. Most AI systems like ChatGPT are basically glorified autocomplete. They are given an input and use complex maths and probabilities to predict what a human would respond to it. They don’t have any understanding about what they are talking about.

I think if an AI were able to hate or love, it would raise complicated and perhaps uncomfortable questions about what it means to be “human”. Can a system that perfectly replicates human emotions and experiences, not be considered human itself?

The question is, what applications would run in ReactOS that wouldn’t run through Proton/Wine? Some applications require relatively obscure userspace quirks and tricks, in which case it doesn’t matter if they’re running through Linux+Wine or ReactOS+Wine if Wine doesn’t implement them.

Other than that, the rootkit anticheat that makes so many games not run on Linux are written by companies that have a near hostility towards Linux and open computing in general. If some version of their anticheat happened to work in ReactOS, they’d patch that out super fast. Same with DRM stuff.

Linux and Windows are, I think, too different conceptually to copy things from one to another. And I’m not sure what Linux-compatible innovation that ReactOS would have that hasn’t already been thought of. Performance of the Windows kernel is, at best, average.

Double quotes always. Any style guide that says otherwise is wrong. :C

teens mainly use AI for therapeutic needs and emotional support.

How dare they do what they can to fulfill needs that society isn’t fulfilling for them.

Even disregarding the native Linux port… The Steam client is actually pretty decent. Any client would have to implement things like library navigation, storage management, Steam input support, the overlay, cloud sync and so on. And honestly, I don’t think anyone can reach the amount of features that Steam has.

Its probably why most people don’t actually use things like Lutris or Gnome Games to launch Steam games.

Darn kids and their mobile telephones!

That aside, uh, people are still people on the other end of the phone. They aren’t like, unloaded when you get too far away from them.

Does it increase fingerprinting? I imagine there might be some non-user-agent way to determine the OS. Like with image handling or whatever.

It’s probably more unique and suspicious for a linux browser to pretend to be Windows than a Linux system disclosing itself as Linux.

It’s actually harder to detect that. The * is expanded before the arguments are sent to rm, so it just sees a list of directories like /bin /usr /dev /sbin /home and so on.

You could implement logic to detect that case, but at that point you’re just playing whackamole.

Almost universally, any time there’s a power vacuum (whether in the first larger-than-tribes societies, or in societies where state power has become weak), the first authority figures that fill the power vacuum are dicks

wielding real power, in ways that feel quite uncomfortable.

Yes, it’s called feeling guilty about others calling out your attitude. Most people who aren’t power seeking assholes experience that feeling regularly and have learned to deal with it.

Couples therapists say they can tell within a few minutes if a couple is worth working with or not: if it’s anger they’re displaying, then that’s something that can be worked through. If it’s dismissiveness, all hope is lost.

Imagine getting told by a couples therapist that they can’t see your relationship working out… And then you go on a big rant saying how you should still be together?

Flatpak creates a “fake” home directory as part of its sandboxing. So what firefox sees as /home/mario is actually /home/mario/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/. At least on Mint, might be different in debian?

Are you sure you have the right folder? Does ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla exist?

cache suggests you’ve only moved your cached data, not your profile.

I mean, you’ve always got that risk. Even on Mastodon, a big instance can kill smaller ones by defederating with them. Or Mastodon.social could just decide to implement extensions that are hard for other instances to use.

Mint for my desktop system. It just does exactly what I want it to, has good compatibility with software and Cinnamon is my DE of choice.

NixOS for my server, because being able to use one config repo and format for everything is so nice.

Hey, you should be careful around Ubuntu fans. They might just snap.
