Oh shit! That’s what we were missing all along! That’s what has, all this time, been keeping adoption down and preventing the year of the linux desktop! A condescending prick talking down to people! We should have figured this out a long time ago! Thanks OP for setting us straight! Now our numbers are sure to skyrocket!

It’s only a matter of time. I want nothing to do with any company that is giving so called “A.I” the time of day.

Well…fuck Udemy I guess.

One of my old employers used to pay out small bonus incentives onto a prepaid credit card for each staff member, and I called it my “fun money” that I would invariably spend on Udemy enrolling in whatever seemed interesting to me. It was truly enjoyable and I feel like I’m a more well rounded person because of it.

And now AI is going to fuck all of that. I want to learn from PEOPLE, not LLM’s cosplaying as A.I.

Technically, PS2 was better. But PS2 was also the beginning of the end for proper single player narrative games like the Final Fantasy Series, Chrono Trigger/Cross, Colony Wars, Wing Commander, etc…

The PS2 kept those going early on, but I feel like later into it’s life cycle it started to move down the “everything has to be multiplayer now” route.

Which is why, for me, my list of emulated games skews FAR heavier to old PS1 classics.

Just my opinion though. Don’t shoot me, please.

Did Robotaxi just flat out steal the Cyberpunk font in order to try to look cool? It seems like a very Musk thing to do.

Who’d have thought that an Archaeology dad-joke would be the thing to make me snort-laugh today.

Well done. And thanks.

Dick the Birthday Boy was literally the first thing that popped into my head.

It’s never a bad idea to learn another language.

It’s never a bad idea to learn. period…full stop.

The act of learning anything wires our brains in a thousand different ways; increases our critical thinking skills. Increases our verbosity and our ability to communicate our own ideas more effectively. It increases problem solving skills, etc…

The very act of learning is something that should be practiced every day with something, whether that’s a new language, or a hobby, or being a history buff…it doesn’t matter. What matters is the learning itself.

So if Russian is what is giving you that interest right now, do it. At the very least, chicks dig polyglots.

At it’s heart, Krita is a drawing program with a few concessions to photo editing/manipulation. Whereas Gimp is a photo editing software with a few concessions to drawing.

Unless Krita decides to go the full adobe route and try to do both (which I doubt will ever happen), a feature like setting a white point (or any feature that isn’t solely useful for photography but not drawing) will ever be in it.

People making the comparison as though Gimp and Krita are both trying to do the same thing are utterly exhausting.

Optimized Repositories for Cachy only have any real effect on newer processors (x86-64-v3 and up). Of course I can still use it on an older machine, but I was asking if my processor (AMD A10 “kaveri”) would be new enough to take advantage of those optimized repositories. (my research so far says no…AMD didn’t add v3 until the next years processors in 2015)

You’re link actually answered my question, though. So thanks! Don’t know why when I searched it wasn’t finding that page for myself. Maybe my Google-fu needs some retraining.

That’s another option as well. It’s between Endeavour, Cachy, or sticking with Manjaro.

Usually my primary consideration is community size and/or team size. Too many linux distributions seem great, but have low support and eventually just vanish, so I always try to stick to the “bigger boys”. Not saying Endeavour is that, but once upon a time it was the new guy on the block and that’s why I’ve waited to consider it. Same with Cachy. I wait to see if they’ve proven their staying power before considering them.

Clearly hubby got caught with a side-piece in the nest when mom came home early.

Whatever someone wants to do with their body is up to them (within legal limits)

To the people who say “she’s selling her body”, I say this:

So are you. So am I. So is everybody. A miner or oil rigger is selling their body to be used as labour for 10 hours a day.

An accountant is selling their body to sit at a desk and crunch numbers for ten hours a day.

We’re all selling our bodies to corporations every day in exchange for a paycheque. If a person is comfortable using nudity for it, more power to 'em.

Actually you’re the one looking fucking stupid, here.

The idea that we don’t have the right to privacy in public was first argued in regards to legitimate use of cameras in public and when a video maker does (or doesn’t) need to get your permission.

If you’re caught on camera incidentally during a news story about a house fire. Or you’re in the background of a surveillance tape of a robbery they’re showing on the news. Or traffic cameras, or cop dash cams. Legitimate uses where public interest is a priority.

If a filmmaker is shooting a scene on location (for an example of the other direction), and they happen to catch some members of the public, they need to get those people to sign a consent form, or else they can’t use the footage. This is the law, I believe, EVERYWHERE that has ever argued this in court.

So yes, while there are legitimate reasons that a person’s privacy is considered able to be suspended (such as news in the public interest), contributing to some incel’s spank-bank isn’t one of those reasons. And you’re a fucking idiot if you don’t grasp that concept.

Actually there is an expectation of privacy.

The argument that “if you’re in public and are filmed” it’s not an invasion of your privacy specifically relates to things that are considered “legitimate public insterest”,. If you’re tangentially caught on a news-report about a house fire, or an event, or something like that, for example. Of if you’re in the background on a cop’s dash cam during a traffic stop, etc…

Beyond that, no one can use your image without your consent. There’s a reason that members of the press need credentials and will usually walk around in a jacket that says PRESS on it; so that people know that they are in a place where they are likely to be recorded and can move away from it.

There’s a reason that, if a movie is shooting a scene and they catch a few background people, they have to send a poor production assistant running around with release forms so that those people can give their permission…other wise the film can’t use the footage.

Some incel recording a woman for his own personal spank-bank doesn’t fall into either of those categories. And anyone who is trying to claim that they’re all the same thing is a fucking creep.

This is the correct headline.

Then you’re a part of the problem.

Billionaires won’t protect our privacy. The Law and the government won’t protect our privacy because they’re bought by the billionaires. So it’s up to each of us. If we want our privacy and our right to not have our images used in some server without our consent, it’s up to us to smash the fucking things whenever we see it happening. Make the fuckers afraid to pull them out in public and make the sales tank.

You know as well as I do that the intended customer for these is influencer creeps with no regard for anyone’s privacy; so fuck 'em.

I’m so sick of people who are content to give away their privacy in exchange for every shiny new fucking toy.

You’re correct. I should have worded it better. I meant “Stored” rather than recorded. Much like streaming a video has a temp file in your hard-drive while you’re watching the stream, but which ceases to exist after a certain amount of time to prevent you from pirating the content by saving a copy.

Glasses should operate much the same way (if at all…as I said…I’d still prefer the not at all option.)

That’s not a fail. That’s just french.

In the places where tech like this would be helpful, there’s no reason that “recording” needs to be a part of it.

Colorblind person needs help identifying colors…great. Doesn’t mean the video needs to be stored. Face-blind people need help recognizing faces, it can access a local database. If the entire point of AI is to do real-time computing, there’s no reason for any image/video to be permanently stored anywhere.

Frankly, make the fucking things illegal in public, and allowed only in private settings where recording a member of the public won’t be a concern. They’re useful for doctors who are performing an operation and interacting with another doctor via the internet at the same time. They’re useful for things like that. But there is ZERO reason you need to be recording strangers in public without authorization.

But failing that, at least scrap the ability to record to a server. Shit’s just creepy. It was creepy when Google tried it. It’s even more creepy when it’s from a company that is open about using AI to create “personalized” ads using the images of people in it’s servers.
