I don’t recommend anything Ubuntu related for newcommers, it’s full of weird stuff that is hard to debug when it breaks. But other than that anything will do really. And even Ubuntu is passable to be honest

If the ingredients are good, you don’t actually need to do that. Good cheese has nice taste that will go away if you melt it. Same as onions actually. Same with bread.

But you did read the post, right? You understand what we’re talking about here, right?

And you think “brittish food bad and bland” is some kind of revolutionary humour here?

Zigbee is a communication protocol. The way your bulb reacts to a powercycle is up to a bulb. Mine remember last settings for example.

Yeah, I bet those grapes are sour af and require account to actually eat

Imagine having a bulb that you can’t change the colour of at will.

Yeah, poor people are notoriously sober

A lot of these are filler. It’s an add for a specific product disguised as one of this endless lists, but they couldn’t stop themselves from being obvious

Are we doing ads now here? And are we, like, OK with it now?

Not only this is a very astute observation, it is an observation that puts you apart from every other person — this makes you quite possibly the smartest baby of 1996.

Don’t lump together people from different countries and different situations, they have nothing to do with each other.
American “leftists” have this quite unique propensity to understand less than nothing about political action. They sit around waiting for a good candidate to appear out of nothing, doing absolutely nothing to help anyone who can one day be this candidate they like, and then every 4 years bitch that candidates they didn’t knew about two months ago aren’t their perfect idea of a lefty.
Countries where left-leaning parties have a reasonable chance of success are countries where left-leaning people were doing politics, as candidates, as activists, and as voters. They were voting for and partnering with anyone human-shaped to form coalitions and to get their candidates into political positions that allowed those candidates to get more political power that they used to get into better political positions. If at any gathering of any sucessful left-leaning party anyone suggests that the party shouldn’t actually vote in this upcoming election because neither of candidates isn’t their favourite eversion of reincarnated Marx, that person would be thrown out for being an idiot, or bitchslapped for being a fucking paid troll-agitator.
Anyone in US who didn’t vote for 99% Hitler over 101% Hitler is personally responsible for every death that occurred on those 2% of difference. And for every difference in those percentages their hands becomes more bloody.
In democracy the only political agents are citizens, they decide what future they create, using what improper instruments they left with. - Comment on YSK that no form of United States ID, no matter how valid, guarantees protection when ICE decides you look like an immigrant. 3 weeks ago:
Incidentally, “electoralism” is a bad word in communist circles. I wonder if there is a correlation between encouraging to not participate in electoral process, and being left out of the outcome of it

I’m more embarrassed about my calculator history. I use SpeedCrunch because it’s amazing, but boy does it remind me hos stupid I am. 7+14, really?
- Comment on I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows 3 weeks ago:
That’s probably the opposite of my experience and an experience of everyone I know.
With Windows problems you do get a lot of very, very long youtube videos that says a lot of things, but unless your problem is trivial, the shit wouldn’t work, and random bat files aren’t working for unexpected problems, or are just viruses. More often then not though, you get a question on Microsoft forum, with one answer asking you to run that windows repair bullshit that never actually solves anything. And then you just accept that it’s not something you can do and move on with your life, thinking that ignoring the problem is actually solving it. Alternatively there is for some reason very expensive program that does what you wanted badly, while using 20% of your machine’s resources, but you’re so exhausted at this point, that you pretend it’s normal.
With Linux you will get snarky answers telling you that you’re an idiot for not reading the error message on your screan (which is, yeah, you are), or that you’re an idiot for not reading the first page of man (which is, yeah, see above), or the most detailed explanation of inner workings of this specific thing that is giving you troubles, and you pretend to understand all of it while just copying and pasting all the random commands from the answer like an idiot that you are. But if you actually want to learn, you just do that, and then your problem is solved and you’re a bit more knowledgeable in the end.
Every time people talk about how Linux community is unhelpful, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. How can I always find help and support no matter how weird and obscure or banal and trivial my problem is, am I special or do people don’t know how to google? I mean, snarky and condescending? Yeah, that happens. But unhelpful? Never in my experience. - Comment on QWERTY Phones Are Really Trying to Make a Comeback This Year 3 weeks ago:
Unihertz is not handling those issues well
The post messed up with my delivery and it returned back to them, and Unihertz asked me for additional 20 bucks so they resend it. I am pretty sure, if they handle this in this manner, the other issues are not better.

Linux isn’t especially complicated on a daily basis, but you have to be willing to solve your own problems
Who was solving your problems before then?

The Titan 2 Elite seems to be a less gimmicky version of the Titan 2
They just had to announce it after I ordered the one with all the “bizarre” gimmicks.

You can change remapping, and it’s basically next best thing

Oh, I also ordered one in December, waiting for arrival still. Glad you liked it, it gives me hopes. Are you finding it’s squareness to be an issue?

Not if they used LLMs. Every time you use LLM to learn something, statistially you get negative knowledge.

Yeah, I stand corrected, there is slightly more than one country like that. Doesn’t really changes much since there is not a lot of those countries, but yeah, technically I was wrong.

I wouldn’t have any problem with this kind of metaphors, if there wasn’t a substantial portion of population that actually did the jump to the “it’s saying something coherent therefore it’s a person that wants to help me and I exclusively talk to him now, his name is mekahitler by the way”.
I am afraid that by normalizing metaphors here we’re doing some damage, because as it turns out, so many people don’t get metaphors. - Comment on F*** You! Co-Creator of Go Language is Rightly Furious Over This Appreciation Email 3 weeks ago:
The golden standard for me, about anything really, is a number of published research from relevant experts that are not affiliated with the entities invested in the outcome of the study, forming some kind of scientific consensus. The question of sentience is a bit of a murky water, so I, as a random programmer, can’t tell you what the exact composition of those experts and their research should be, I suspect it itself is a subject for a study or twelve.
Right now, based on my understanding of the topic, there is a binary sentience/non sentience switch, but there is a gradient after that. I’m not sure we know enough about the topic to understand the gradient before this point, I’m sure it should exist, but since we never actually made one or even confirmed that it’s possible to make one, we don’t know much about it. - Comment on F*** You!

We attribute agency to everything, absolutely. But previously, we understood that it’s tongue-in-cheek to some extend. Now we got crazy and do it for real. Like, a lot of people talk about their car as if it’s alive, they gave it a name, they talk about it’s character and how it’s doing something “to spite you” and if it doesn’t start in cold weather, they ask it nicely and talk to it. But when you start believing for real that your car is a sentient object that talks to you and gives you information, we always understood that this is the time when you need to be committed to a mental institution.
With chatbots this distinction got lost, and people started behaving as if it’s actually sentient. It’s not a metaphor anymore. This is a problem, even if it’s not the problem.
