  • "back"

  • This looks so chaotic and disjointed I wasn't sure what community it's from. There's a title that could be completely disconnected and I don't know if that relates in any way. The picture is a shit post. The text is a really long chaotic text about someone struggling with a difficult family situation. Maybe that's you, at this point I gotta suspect this could be disingenuous or or just someone who is drunk or high.

    Your comment clears up nothing, it's just a very defensive way of talking down on the very natural confusion.

    What I'm trying to say is: can you explain if this is original, why you put a meme in the picture, what the title means, if you're struggling or why you posted this and anything else to help us understand this post.

  • After looking up the Wikipedia definition I kind of disagree; my definition is more narrow but I also think it's more akin to what we currently understand AI to be.

    That said, even with the very loose Wikipedia definition of AI I don't know how the hell you conclude that the internet / the web is AI. Yes, specific parts of it are AI, but the Internet in my understanding does not fit the definition.

  • A statistical model built on neural networks solving black box problems.

    I don't hate AI but 99% of applications currently are just vanity, there are big energy problems with it, monopoly consolidation is getting exacerbated by it, identity theft is becoming easier than ever and then stolen training data and information clusters will be the next big issues.

    What I'm saying is, a lot of experts (those who survived from the older field of machine learning and its various applications like genetic algorithms and classifiers) are critical of AI, and most people should be. It's a big opportunity but we could destroy our society with it if we don't come up with ethical constraints codified in law.

  • Omfg can we go a few weeks without a big leak pls?

  • I second syncthing as a solution.

    I personally use an smb server and tail scale client + Headscale and then those smb files are locally backed up to a different drive / different PCs that remain in the network, but that doesn't automatically sync and instead works by connecting to the server directly.

    What you're describing sounds like a solution that automatically resynchronizes on connection, and that means you're looking for versioning / sync, thus probably syncthing is the easiest.

  • Hell yeah brother

  • Looks like not only the type of sabotage is genuinely smart, but also dropping those papers means the government is now entrenched in distrust and that's an uncomfortable position to be in.

  • This is just a slightly more complicated version of "if buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing" or am I missing something?

  • I mean ofc some people are very insecure but tbh this job market rn is fucked.

  • Very good analogy, only would say there's a wide range of creative people who are stuck with windows/mac because of compatibility in their field. They can be quite highly skilled but you can't escape the industry standards.

  • First of all, not a shit post.

    People only hate the pedos they dislike.

    Disagree. You mentioned MJ and Epstein. There is a huge amount of victims, witnesses, monetary transactions and evidence (e.g. pictures) about Epstein being a pedophile. For MJ being a pedophile there's only a fraction of that.

    I personally do not care for MJ. People like his music but I don't really. It's easier for me to see Epstein as a pedophile because there is just so much more corroborating evidence, and way harder to see MJ that way. Do I believe he's not? Not really, I haven't looked that deep into it and I heard this before a few times. But I'm not say someone is a pedophile without evidence. If they're wrongly accused, that's fucked up. And ultimately, he's dead and there's no real evidence and no suggestions he was part of a wider circle of other perpetrators.

    On the other hand Epstein is dead, but there's other people who helped him or committed crimes themselves. So we should concentrate on those, so that the victims get justice and the perpetrators which do still live get tried and convicted. And especially make sure ghislaine Maxwell, who is convicted and got an insane deal has to face more consequences and finally gives up names so we can start demanding trials for all of the others involved.

    Basically, it's never a "I hate Epstein but not MJ" thing, it's just that we can address whatever Epstein did, and that is important and there's lots to go on, but we kinda can't do it with MJ unless there's more evidence, there's likely more perpetrators or there's more victims coming forward, and I haven't heard any of that.

  • Dude what

    We just found a sex trafficking pedophile ring with ties to the white house, Russia, UAE, UK and many more country leaders and you are concerned about Steam? Fuck you, you're part of the problem.

  • Idk

  • It's more of an efficiency thing for power users. And it's on by default so in that sense the issue is not the function, the issue is the default, and that's up to Microsoft.

  • Das war auch meine Überlegung - ist doch nicht schlimm, vielleicht sind ja leckere Sachen dabei, dann soll er's doch machen. Stimmen ihnen da vollkommen zu Frau Reichelt.

  • I think that's awesome that you're trying to learn.

    Linux only indirectly has to do with programming. Linux is an operating system, like MacOS or Windows. An operating system is basically everything on your PC that's not the apps, so the desktop, task bar, start menu, settings menu, ... are all part of it. And of course a lot of stuff you cannot see because apps need a lot of ground work to function properly.

    First let me say, you should bother. No matter if it clicks for you or it doesn't, trying something new is always a good idea.

    If you want to get into Linux, you can install it instead of windows / MacOS on one of your devices. Make sure to backup all your files beforehand of course. Then you download an ISO from a Linux distribution (the flavour of Linux you want). if you just want something that works, Linux mint is one of the most straightforward ones. You download a ".iso" for that. Then you use a tool like "Rufus" and a USB stick, and put your iso file on that USB stick. After that, you plug that into the PC you wanna put Linux on, reboot, and look for the USB stick in the boot menu (different on every PC). And then you will be guided through the installation of Linux mint. After that you should be done and when the PC shows your new Linux mint desktop, you are done and you can unplug your USB stick. So much for Linux.

    Getting into programming is a little bit less of a process, and more logic puzzles to understand how code works. I would recommend you look at an easier language, for example python, learn the basics of that and then set your sails on an intermediate project. For example a Webserver can be a cool one.

    I know Lemmy hates AIs but I also gotta mention every time you wanna learn something, ask AI all the small questions. I personally like the free Claude AI; especially when you start out with a new hobby an AI will be helpful 99% of the time.

    But most of all, do it for fun, stop when it's too frustrating, just keep going and stick to it for a while, everything else comes with time. You'll quickly see if this is interesting to you or not, and I hope it is :)

  • Very interesting. I like it, though I'm sure West Taiwan is not happy about it.

  • The goblin part is free right? I regularly enter goblin mode because I can afford that :)
