Just install Fedora and be done with it.
- Comment on Intel says Arc GPUs will live on after Nvidia deal 14 hours ago:
It’s to try and stage off AMD who has cornered the other half of the data center. Nvidia just had the come up on GPUs in DC’s, but lost a decade to trying to compete with AMD there. Now AMD has the most sought after high density chips and FPGA platform with no competition. Nvidia thinks this will slow AMDs sales there I’m sure.

But Dreamcast wasn’t even a popular console, so not sure that dips into “Premium Gaming”.

This is cool and all, but why Dreamcast? This seems it could run on anything from NES and up possibly.

The Nokia font was a “tweak” on the original Macintosh desktop font, but kicked up for different DPI and even lower res displays. Pretty clever.

There will be massive wave of this soon coming to all these asshats who thought “AI” was going to make them more profits. Same shit happened in 90’s with off shoring, then again in the 2010’s. This is just another dumbass play that will backfire on these profit greedy assholes.

I wasn’t saying labor replacement was a good thing. You misread that.
- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 4 weeks ago:
Lol, right, that’s why. All the people in here are wrong, but you’ve got the right take 🤣
- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 4 weeks ago:
- they’ve already stolen everything
- other companies already focus on illegally using data for “AI” means, and they’re better at it
- Everyone already figured out that LLMs aren’t what they were promising “Assistant” features were 15 years ago
- None of these companies have any sort of profit model. There is no “AI” race to win, unless it’s about who gets to fleece the public for their money faster.
- Tell me who exactly benefits when AGI is attainable (and for laymen it’s not a real thing achievable with this tech at all), so who in the fuck are you expecting to benefit from this in the long run?
- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 4 weeks ago:
We hate it because it’s not what the marketing says it is. It’s a product that the rich are selling to remove the masses from the labor force, only to benefit the rich. It literally has no other productive use for society aside from this one thing.

Fucking waste of time and money. Ruining the planet even more and accelerating our demise while they’re at it. Could be actually helping people with that money.
- Comment on GenAI tools are acting more ‘alive’ than ever; they blackmail people, replicate, and escape 5 weeks ago:
No, I’m saying that they are trained to do these things. Neural net and frameworks are fast sorting algorithmic relations between things, so…fast search+reduce.
There is no novel ideation in these things.
Don’t train them to do that thing, and they won’t do that thing. They didn’t just “decide” to try and jailbreak themselves.

Stupid. They’re programmed to do all of these things, morons.

They’re payments for work services.

- Comment on EnteAuth (and a bunch of other FOSS) take Microsoft's "free" money 5 weeks ago:
Uhhh, repercussions like what? They’re getting small amounts of money for specific work. Up front. What repurcussions could there be for project moving to Gitlab, for instance?
- Comment on EnteAuth (and a bunch of other FOSS) take Microsoft's "free" money 5 weeks ago:
You may as well just stop using computers all together, bud 🤣
I don’t mean to ruin your world view, but there are no ways to run anything you want to run by focusing on “altruistic companies”, however you may subjectively define that.
Look, you’re focusing on the wrong thing here. Maybe you didn’t know this, but the massive majority of FOSS projects get funded by companies - either for consulting, feature bounties, IC development - and is a main driving force for the ecosystem.
Many in this ecosystem would even tell you that every single project is massively UNDERfunded by said companies, and they should kick in more to help keep these projects secure and in good standing. They make billions and billions of dollars off people’s work, and it surely seems they should kick some of that back to the projects.
Whatever Microsoft’s involvement is here, it’s not going to be changing the direction of any of the projects mentioned. If for some reason something untoward starts happening with any project: boom, fork and new community. It’s that simple.
In short, these people getting funding for their work is a good thing. If you take issue with who is providing that money, you’re going to be digging a deep, deep hole in your research, and if you’re running down the dep chain, you’ll find out that all of the things you use have some funding by companies like Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, IBM, Red Hat, Amazon, Alibaba, Halliburton, Qualcomm…I could keep going on and on.
