That’s where the hedonistic firearm owner keeps their weapon!

Gosh, Dude! Can you finally buy a holster instead of keeping it in your ass?! If you’re rich enough for a deadly firearm, you’re rich enough for something to carry it in!

Yeah, I think you’re looking for Monica at this point.

How exactly do you think stuff around you works? Machine learning is everywhere gobbling up massive swaths of data wherever possible. Insurances, work shift planning, goddamn Spotify. All are using ML and have for years. To think you can just stay away from those Models is ridiculous.

it’s a bunch of loose files, basically. If you wanted it actively hosted, you’d just need to put them into a web server, basically.

Accessibility is “no reason”?! I never called someone ableist before, but… gosh, you’re coming close.

The visually impaired will certainly agree that not helping them with a local AI model is a sacrifice worth being made for the purely moral stance of “no AI at all”.

Hey valve, so, Uhr… Funny thing… I’m actually… Uh
… kinda dead

Well, if you’re stupid enough to tell valve about the death that is

They have me by the wallpapers!

Glad I could help :)

Okay, there will be people disagreeing with me, but I can’t let a new user be misled by us nerds talking distros all day.

So, you want to choose a distro because you expect it to do things differently than your current one? Thing is: Ultimately, they (mostly) don’t differ that much, really. There are extremely few things one distro can do that you cannot do in any other distro. Yes, some files will be in different places, they might use special versions for some packages (which often can be overridden) or use older and more stable versions of stuff (Debian). Yet, in the end, they are all the same OS. They all use the same window managers, the same kernels, the same drivers (mostly), the same logic behind many things. Another distro only feels really different, when you know a lot about the ins and outs of Linux systems. If you don’t, the difference will often be that you have to type either “pacman” or “apt”, or either change /etc/program.conf or /etc/program.d/foo.conf.

Play with the distro you already have and like. You ain’t missing anything. Just don’t get the wrong idea that Distros are like windows: monolithic monsters that can’t be really changed. Like mint but want Gnome as window manager? Go for it. Dislike the way the standard terminal software does colors? Get another one. Don’t like how Program X does some GUI thing? There will almost always an alternative that just plugs into your system exactly as the preinstalled one did.

A distribution is basically just a pre-selection of packages that can be changed at will. Hell, you could in theory get pacman on Debian or Apt on Arch. I don’t know why you’d want to, but in theory you could.

Don’t waste your time reinstalling your machine. Play with the things you already have!

Am I the only one who finds it super annoying, that “detection through sound waves” (Sonar) does video things while “detection through light” (lidar) does the sound things?

WHY?! Swap names already! It’s driving me nuts!

The bug was well documented and we own the git platform it was written on, but hey, we ain’t got time for that. Too busy implementing new menus that look worse and do less than the old ones so we have to keep the old ones around anyway.

Furthermore, I don’t trust Microsoft to not do a gigantic oopsie and introduce a bug that emails screenshots of porn websites I visited to my Mum or some shit. Their QC is abhorrent.

Close as “won’t fix”. Easy. That’s what their customer service does to your ticket, too, if it’s too much to handle, so…

Two things:

1. Do we know if fuels the urge to get real children? Or do we just assume that through repetition like the myth of “gateway drugs”?
2. Since no child was involved and harmed in the making of these images… On what grounds could it be forbidden to generate them?

I got the impression that “removing” means removing before it was really implemented. Like, it was planned and decided upon, but it wasn’t ready. He checked the license and went “nope, not having it” and scrapped the feature. It doesn’t truly become clear in the text, of course, but that’s how I read this.

luckily, most games are easily modded: Just put a 1-2 frames black video file where the brand logos used to be. Done.

oh, it was the racing game? I must have gone through the text too quickly then. Yet, if we’re pragmatic: How many people would have really enjoyed that game (which wasn’t stellar to begin with) more with properly encoded surround sound, and how many would have enjoyed it a tad less because of the annoying logo spam on startup? I don’t think Surround-Sound-enjoyers were the target audience for that one.
