Linux, while overall almost botherless, still looses to windows.
Been using mint for around 2 months and I would say this is pretty accurate. Pretty much every game I play works out of the box. Discord however crashes the whole system sometimes and I can’t figure out why. Would still recommend Linux over windows but you will for sure encounter more issues.
Other comments hit on this but I’ll add a little more. There is a good bit of trolls/trolling, some extreme views, and authoritarian government praise. Things like that.
Lemm.ee (my instance) is still federated so I see hexbear post/ comments. It’s definitely a more problematic instance imo.
. world is defederated with hexbear iirc
As an organizer in my free time it’s hardly unrealistic to suggest other people do the same.
Im sure as someone who does it everyday you do think that
God forbid political power take work and time. Better to be ineffectual and rhetorically entrench the sociopathic status quo, eh
This is the largest point I’m trying to make the time and effort it will take cannot be completed before the election. I mean you even agreed:
Do you think this can be organized 1 before the election, 2 before the election with enough time to actually change things in it
Your response was No.
Yes. This is how it has been for hundreds of years. People with less time and means did far more than this
Do you think every American agrees and will just jump on board?
And to defend the status quo.
No defending it I hate it but stop acting like it can change before the election, it is not enough time which is my point, not a defense.
How much time do you spend on social media, for example? Why not spend that time organizing meetings?
Couple hours after work, 10 mins before work, and while shitting. Drive times alone wouldn’t be meet with this time.
How on earty could you ever take credit for anything?
Don’t know what I took credit for but sure
Do you even live in a swing state?
Do you even live in America?
They want us to magically fix all the problems overnight, while blaming us for everything in the meantime.
You gonna bother explaining the MAS movement and provide a reasonable road map for how to achieve it?
Nah it’s easy just rewire the whole government in your free time, that’s what I don’t understand about these people. They have all these great ideas about organizing and starting this and changing that. The suggestions they give are just not realistic in our society currently, but they act like you’re the problem for voting.
Y’all understand that your little suggestion of starting a whole ass movement with the only resource of “unified voters” in one of the most diverse countries in the world will take a ton of time right ?
I’ll even play let’s say we:
If you care how you vote, you should be getting organized with likeminded people to create a voting block that makes demands
Do you think this can be organized 1 before the election, 2 before the election with enough time to actually change things in it, 3 by people working full time jobs and probably living paycheck to paycheck 4 while being fought back against the entire time by media oligarchy? No it isn’t realistic
What is realistic is trying to save the country from a centralization of powers into the executive branch (project '25) that will almost surely lead into fascism, which will then in turn fuck the rest of the world even worse.
I disagree, I think it is basic human/biologic that drives us to grab up resources and hoard them to ensure survival/reproduction/future generations. Capitalism is just a vehicle in which we are capable of expressing that biological greed on a global scale.
Strong agree here. You hit on a lot of the core issues on LLMs, so I’ll say my opinions on the economic aspects.
It’s been more than a year since chatGPT released this plague of “slap AI on the product and consumers will put their children down for collateral to buy!” which imo we haven’t seen whatsoever. Investors still have a hard-on for the term AI that goes into the stratosphere but even that is starting to change a little.
Consumers level of AI distrust has risen considerably and consumers have seen past the hype. Wrapping this back around to the CEOs level of power, I just don’t think LLMs are actually going to have enough marketability for general consumers to become juggernaut corpos.
LLMs absolutely have use cases but they don’t fit into most consumer products. No one wants AI washers or rice cookers or friggin AI spoons and shoehorning them in decreases interest in the product.
Fair enough, Jesus they’re getting really brazen
Those are grow kits not actual mushrooms, it’s more of a grey area although selling spores for growing is expressly illegal.
The problem I have is when a gimmick is forced on me
Yeah like I hate Microsoft, I am migrating to Linux, and the things I read about recall were pretty fucking horrifying to me. At the end of the day though the general public doesn’t give two shits about tech other than it works out of the box.
Best instance
Switch instances?
This packed in a Lemmy post is great, thank you that post is getting saved!
Thank you, I was looking for a syntax list too!
Fuck EA of course but that AI pic is horrible. The fuck does a U-shaped Ferrari sitting in front of an Obama campaign billboard have to do with EA putting ads in games?
Yeah strongly agree on companies just using AI as a buzzword to make investors excited. Tech companies that aren’t throwing AI in things have a higher chance of their stock price stagnating
We’ve been having this discussion in the group I game/ play TTRPGs with. Like 7 of us total all windows, me and another switched to Linux, a third is a computational scientist who is forced to work with redhat frequently, and a fourth member was thinking of switching. After me and member 2 switched, member 4 saw that we had problems (entirely discord for me, all games have honestly worked so far) and changed his mind about switching because he doesn’t want to deal with stuff not working OOTB.
I can’t fault people who want that, hell I do, Linux is well worth it to me but I will begrudgingly admit there are draw backs to Linux.
