  • Conformity

  • I think you just need well-placed parks in the urban areas. I think it's worth asking ourselves why we don't really hear people bemoan the upbringing and experiences of kids from really urban cities like NYC or Tokyo. But when it comes to Soviet apartment blocs, this becomes a real concern. I think it's a double-standard that's been propagandized onto us.

    Notice the multiple "I thinks" -- it's not like I'm out here doing surveys on the topic. This is just how it seems to me.

  • At some point AI companies are going to have to charge real money to make a profit from their services. What do you think that amount would be and why?

  • That is indeed absurdly fast.

  • Students are speeding through their online degrees in weeks, alarming educators

    Jump

  • The student who wants to actually go learn something and become an expert in a field has to contend with the fact that universities are just gilded vocational schools. And at least in the USA you will go into a lot of debt if you don’t come from wealth just to get through it. And there are no promises of stable income and employment when you do get through it.

    So, while I think this person comes out the other end functionally no more informed than before, and I would not want to work with her, I can’t fault her for recognizing the bullshit that is the American education system and exploiting it.

    For my own part, I busted my ass through university and now I’m seeing all my efforts get gobbled up into AI, cheapening everything I’ve ever done and worked for, and possibly evicting me from my career sometime in the coming few years. That wasn’t a concern when I graduated, LLMs didn’t exist yet. But they do now for current and future students.

  • this top comment summarizes my feeling 😅

    My biggest financial mistake wasn't college, it was actually not buying a house when I was 6 years old

  • What’s new in security for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS?

    Jump

  • And permissively licensed utils have been around thanks to BSD and it’s never been an issue.

    The distinction is that BSD coreutils are not attempting to be a drop-in 1:1 compatible replacement of GNU coreutils. The Rust coreutils has already accomplished this with its inclusion into Ubuntu 26.04.

    If I wanted a permissively licensed system, I'd use BSD. I don't, so I primarily use Linux. I think citing a proprietary OS like macOS as a reason why permissively licensed coreutils are OK is kind of funny. It's easy to forget that before before the GPL there were many incompatible UNIX systems developed by different companies, and IMO the GPL has kept MIT and BSD-licensed projects "Honest", so-to-speak. Without the GPL to keep things in check, we'd be back to how things were in the 80s.

    So what's next on the docket for Ubuntu? A permissively licensed libc?

  • Advice for Linux media center

    Jump

  • My media server, which is just my server generally, is an old thinkpad I have from 2014. For media I use Jellyfin and I ensure the content is already in a format that will not require transcoding on any device I care to serve to (typically mp4 1080p hevc + aac).

    If you look at the used computer market, there are endless options to attain what you are asking for. My only real advice is make sure the computer doesn’t draw much power and, if possible, doesn’t emit much or any fan noise. A laptop is a decent choice because the battery kind of serves as an uninterruptible power supply. I just cap my charge limit at 80% since I never unplug it.

  • Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry

    Jump

  • Vista called it SuperFetch, and preloading pages into memory is not a bad technique. macOS and Linux do it, too, because it's a simple technique for speeding up access to data that would otherwise have to be fetched from disk. You can see that Linux does it as you check the output of free and read out the buff/cache column. Freeing unused pages from memory is very fast, because you can just overwrite dirty pages.

  • For Windows if 8 gb of RAM is not enough that’s an own-goal. Because it is. Or it should be. Windows 11 is not so dramatically better than Windows Vista SP3 to require a 10x better computer to use comfortably. Actually, in many ways Windows 11 is a massive downgrade from what came before it.

    I’m glad the MacBook neo is only 8gb. That means they have to support it as a usable low-end target. That means we aren’t jumping the gun on saying “actually you need 12 gigs of RAM” as if that should be normal for a usable computer.

  • Iran declares US-Israeli economic, banking interests in region are targets

    Jump

  • It’s not like they have a vested interest in the continuity of these western institutions. When you apply a maximum pressure sanctions campaign against Iran, guess what!? Their economy is not tied up in your economy. They could give a fuck. Especially after you bombed them first (twice!). Especially after you unilaterally withdraw from a treaty with them.

  • The same White House that tells you a new casus belli for the war special operation each time you ask them? With a projected timeline that shifts day after day? Led by a pedophile rapist who has instructed his DOJ to cover up any of his involvement with Epstein? Who we already know from the fact that he was president for FOUR YEARS that he is a serial liar?

    There is not a single thing that this White House can say that will make me think they are telling the truth.
