Would you mind listing which ones?
I’m a pretty prolific gamer, and haven’t found one that doesn’t work just fine on my linux desktop.
You’re right, but also, in my experience by the time i’m wanting those more advanced features i’d prefer to do it in the command line anyway, and so the Right Click |> Open in Terminal
solves all my issues.
Right? Even the “ick” parts of linux i’d take over osx or windows
I have never been as bothered by a catastrophic linux GUI crash that caused me to pull up a separate machine to walk me through recovering in the command line than I have been by Blue Screen’s of Death.
And it’s definitely because I know with the linux failure it was my fault, and won’t happen again if i learn what caused it and change my behavior (or the system’s behavior).
The same is very much not true with window’s BSoD, where each time i simply lose more trust in the system.
I switched my gaming pc to Linux over a year ago, never looked back and haven’t needed to
And I’ve never used a VM to game, either
I game on a linux mint desktop using proton all the time. The work they’ve done for the steam deck translates almost perfectly to every other Linux distro I’ve tried it on
This part about the zoom acquisition is true, but to date no sketchy things have been committed to the client repos, they’re open source
Personally I think the acquisition was to disrupt development, not to hijack it. You’re right that dev work essentially stopped at that time, outside of security fixes.
Also, it doesn’t track you, it allows you to post public proofs so you can choose to let the people you connect with verify your identify. It’s not mandatory.
And then governments learned the “Why not both?” Meme
Or people could stop making not gendered issues into gendered issues, like the sexist fucks they are. There’s a very specific and insidious reason the narrative has switched from “domestic violence” to “violence against women” despite women being provably more safe than men in 99% of contexts, and only a minuscule fraction of deaths by violence. It’s a sexist intentional exclusion of an entire gender, for no good reason.
But you do you!
Best I can suggest is keybase with an auto destroy message timer on conversations, so anything after a day or week is automatically wiped
Are we counting all the suicides due to the ex girlfriend’s actions, or the ones who die in situations instigated by women, like when she lies about something and the males in her family seek retribution? Those stats seem suspiciously absent from articles like these. Proxy violence is routinely ignored
If we’re going to advocate against domestic violence, we should include all its forms and not carefully gerrymander the definition
Still a minuscule fraction of its androcide rate, but don’t expect people to give a shit
I do think it’s the jealousy, the fear of being replaced, but also the pride of thinking of ourselves as somehow special and important.
We’re not.
We’re dumb fucking monkeys who learned to sometimes not be so dumb, and then a bunch of us forgot we were pretending.
The real lesson in ai is not that they’re getting super complex or sophisticated, but more us realizing the limitations of our own cognition, and hopefully finding ways to extend it.
You’re spot on about calculators. It’s really just that our schools and schoolteachers are unable to evolve, just like with the insistence that cursive is still a needed skill. Hopefully it won’t take a generation or more to update the educators mindset to taking advantage of the tools available, instead of shunning them.
You’re complaining about scale, and pretending it’s a fundamental difference. It’s not
You have a severe misunderstanding of how your own brain works and why we call them neural nets in the first place if you think otherwise.
So police can’t keep images of criminals faces (recreated and distributed to every cops computer in the nation through computer automation and often ai) without their consent?
And a private company can’t set that up and sell it to cops for profit?
Because I have some terribly bad news for you…
why should giant corporations be allowed to replicate and use it to make money without your consent
Because it wasn’t yours to begin with
Biometrics belong more to humanity than any individual person
Your argument would make it so even facial recognition would be illegal, because they scan and use your facial info without consent
Same with drivers license databases
You can’t say “this particular use of this existing practice bothers me, everyone else needs to change now so I feel better”
Rules on these things need to be consistent, and if they shouldn’t be allowed to use unique information that you consider yours without your consent you’ve just eliminated advertising, security checkpoints, drivers license pictures, filming cops, and a million other things both good and bad that all rely on using your likeness without your consent.
Because it looks like blind ranting
You’ve completely ignored all the people who have been replaced by automation and had to adapt as “oh that’s not important enough in my eyes to force companies to use humans”
The future you want is far worse than the one you’re ranting about. Yours has only the wealthy and powerful enjoying protections from automation, while everyone else doesn’t matter (to you, based on your own arguments)
Is there a specific dollar amount where a creator isn’t allowed to create the way they want anymore?
South Park has some crazy lawsuits coming, if that person has their way.
I legitimately couldn’t tell they didn’t use the real Megan Markel!
And this is why having true ownership over our own devices is so important, so that they can’t force this on everyone and if they try, we just replace the root certs.
This is why “trusted computing” has been pushed for so long, to remove control from the user specifically to enable bullshit like this
