    These types of posts just remind me how bad people are at using computers.

    Ive used windows 11 since it came out.

    As a Linux user for over two decades; oh the irony.

    I couldn’t resist. Don’t take it too seriously, although windows 11’s DE mashup of Windows, KDE, Gnome, and Mac is sort of hilarious to see.

    “its just one glass of wine” can be equally said with “its just a small bump of coke” or “its just half an oxy”

    No, not really. Each person is different, set and setting are different, circumstances can be different.

    In any case that silly graph you posted was made by:

    “opinions and judgment of 15 researchers, doctors, and a journalist. These opinions were exchanged and discussed during a 1-day workshop” … “given that it has no input other than the experience and knowledge of the participants involved, it is unlikely to be unbiased”

    Although to be fair, the group that made that study now is advocating ways to get medical cannabis and psychedelics to people, which is more or less in line with the graph I suppose.


  • And the huge shift right by male GenZ people. Reading posts by them specifically today: they felt marginalized by democrats and ignored. They felt like Maga cared about them, and they could belong in the Republican party. And some of them simply wanted revenge and to feel powerful.

    Now this isn’t everyone, but I gotta say:

    WTF are you doing thinking about feelings? And fitting in? Look at the damn effects your choice is going to make based on “feelings”. That group is going to lose consumer protection, worker protection and safety, medical coverage, relief on college tuition, housing subsidies, debt relief, small business loans. What they gain is higher prices, worse infrastructure, and possibly the nastiest thing of al:l the direct path of their income going to the wealthiest people and perpetuating generational wealth for the very few.

    Because they wanted to “feel” like they were seen and heard as men. You got played!





  • Ubuntu has never been remotely stable for me. Something stupid breaks or becomes difficult to get what I want out of it.

    Been that way since it came out for me.

    I find Arch much less hassle than Ubuntu ever was.

    Just recently put Ubuntu on a machine for a work project. It was broken from the get go, throwing errors and being it’s usual shitty self.

    I could never recommend it.

    Fedora on the other hand has been on a spare laptop for about 6 months and I gotta say they really have put some polish in. Updates are frequent but reasonable and most everything works well. Some small issues but they are not show stoppers and Fedora is aware of them.



  • I am fully aware of Alan Turnings work and it is rather exceptional when you read that formulas were be8ng created for diffusion models in the late 40’s.

    But i really don’t care thar whoever wrote that wikipedia page believes the hype. We are still in statistical algorithm stages. Even on the wiki page it says thar AI is aware of its surroundings as a feature of AI. We do not have that.

    Also, it appears that most people are still not fooled by “ai” as we have it today, meaning it does not pass even the most basic Turing test. Which a lot of academic believe is not even enough as a marker of ai ad that too wad from the 50’s


  • There is no intelligence. There is only algorithms. The place we are at is not anywhere near approaching artificial intelligence, it is only buzzwords. If you know about how this works this should be clear. I think I was being very objective: we have statistical engines and diffusion formulas. No intelligence, of any kind, is being demonstrated. AI is a marketing term at this point. No original ideas, no real knowledge of past or future events, no ability to determine correct answers from false ones. Even the better models that try to basically watch the other models are still not that great beyond the basics of “what is the next most likely word here”.





  • You are saying steam link for VR correct? Because Steam Link itself works fine.

    The only thing I have to dual boot for is VR at this point. And I havent even done that in maybe 2 years. But it really is the final thing for me.

    All the other games I care to play work fine. The last two Resident Evil’s were flawless. Almost everything is pretty much click and play these days.

    I remote to other computers and remote into my own, so I take it you are using Parsec for something specific? I never used it before.
