I always love the responses to these videos because it’s invariably a bunch of skilled Linux people showing their entire ass trying to justify why the average user would somehow have had a magically better experience and the OP is uniquely bad at computers. Get fucking real. Sit down, shut up, and take notes. It’s never going to be the year of the Linux desktop if you ignore the issues encountered by new Linux users.

5·11 days agoMuch easier to start if you know there are 3600 seconds in an hour. 36 is 9×4 and 100 is 10×5×2. Then 24 hours is 8×3, and 6 weeks gives you 6×7 (hand gesture).

World News@lemmy.ml•A few hours after Iran's large-scale operation against US bases in the region, Donald Trump conveyed a message to Tehran through Italy, calling for a ceasefire
8·13 days agoIt’s so they can get both the benefit of the first strike and then when Iran retaliates they can claim they turned down a ceasefire.
Because international diplomacy is a universe of bullshit and lies
They are trained to yap because it gives them a higher likelihood of giving the correct answer. If they don’t go on and on in user presented text, it at least does it in hidden text.
Scaling up fabs to increase supply is a very long-term process. You don’t want to do it if you think the demand won’t last at least several years. Maybe RAM manufacturers are drinking the koolaid and are spinning up fabs as fast as possible. Maybe they see the writing on the wall and are just cashing in until the demand dissolves.

Memes@lemmy.ml•in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention
3·2 months agoI had this one Singaporean guy visit me and say basically the same thing, and then he said there was this dish i had to try. And it just tasted like Umami The Dish™ to me.
Turns out, people typically enjoy the cuisine they grew up with and that’s not wrong. To imply that it is makes you annoying.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Developer patches Wine to make Photoshop 2021 & 2025 run on Linux — Adobe Creative Cloud installers finally work thanks to HTML, JavaScript and XML fixes
2·2 months agoWish there was into on how to pirate adobe for Linux. Even into for Windows is hard to find (for obvious reasons) when you’re someone like me who doesn’t know where to look.
This is not an invitation to tell me how and get banned lol

United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Why is Mamdani not banning the sale of stolen Palestinian land in New York?
8·2 months agoThat’s why OP specified “participating in genocide.” That’s how language works. They didn’t say “protesting against synagogues” they said “protesting against synagogues participating in genocide”, a subset of synagogues.

Programming@programming.dev•I got paid minimum wage to solve an impossible problem
1·2 months agoIn retrospect it’s pretty obvious that the most efficient way to traverse a grid would include no diagonals. Every time you move on an axis you move to a cell in 1 unit distance of travel. Why would you ever choose to move to a cell in √2 unit distances when you could move 1 unit distance to achieve the same result of covering one more cell?
Economic collapse doesn’t matter if you:
-
Own the means of production to sustain your way of life
-
Have fully automated it
-
Can protect it using automated security
Which is what billionaires are going for. They do not care if economic collapse leads to billions of deaths, as long as they live in an automated utopia themselves.
-
It is about the prospect of profit. If you can make a machine that puts everyone out of a job, the profit is literally infinite. The same or better productivity output with zero labour cost input. You would have to be out of your mind not to invest in the infinite money machine.
Unfortunately (fortunately?), the infinity money machine is not possible with LLMs. These bullshit generators are a dead end in AI tech. But nobody with investor money believes that yet.





I imagine one of the most important factors is we don’t have a way to accurately scan a brain to correctly reproduce all those trillions of connections. We don’t have a blueprint to go off. Or if we do it’s probably prohibitive in scale to collect that.
