I do my best to avoid putting toilet data on my hand.

I don’t know that I agree. AI will continue to grow stronger and heartier, just like Campbell’s new Extra Chunky™ All Americanado™ Chicken Noodle Soup.

So technically, in this specific instance, Trump Mobile isn’t run by Donald Trump. It’s instead a separate company run by Don Jr and Eric Trump. That company is then licensing the “Trump” name from The Trump Organization.

Now The Trump Organization is owned by Donald Trump, although officially run by Don Jr, Eric, etc.

But you’re absolutely right that all of this is bullshit. It’s also why Trump is so pissed at New York AG Letitia James for investigating and uncovering all sorts of shady business practices.

You’re absolutely right that Congress should be doing something about it.

The little info (i) box on Billboards website actually cites their data, “The week’s most popular downloaded songs, ranked by sales data as compiled by Luminate.” Which I assume refers to luminatedata.com

Sadly their data (the numbers specifically) aren’t publicly available.

I think it’s worth clarifying that it’s #1 on Billboard’s Country Digital Song Sales. That’s a specific category.

According to https://tasteofcountry.com/breaking-rust-explained-ai-country-song in order to reach number one would only take ~3,000 purchases.

That’s a shockingly low number, so if anyone can confirm that or has better numbers, I’d love to know.

But last time I brought a digital song, they cost $1. So for a couple thousand dollars any song could be number one in this category.

If I were an AI company swimming in money, that’s a drop in the bucket for some free publicity.

Paul took the clips in stride, initially putting on a grave voice and decrying that “this AI is getting out of hand,” only to buy into the trend by acting camp in a response video posted to TikTok on Monday.

Proof? That video response sounds like AI.

But his girlfriend, Dutch professional speed skater Jutta Leerdam, wasn’t impressed. “I don’t like it, it’s not funny!” she told him in a video. “People believe it.”

Proof? That video sounds fake. Maybe this is all a ruse by the girlfriend to slander Jake Paul.

I don’t actually believe that, but this article is written based on videos uploaded to TikTok, there is no proof any of the events described took place.

Things are about to get much worse.

I’ve used dropbear in the past and it always feels a little janky, but it works well.

I would suggest whatever you pick, it should be a similar base to what you run or are most familiar with.

If you run something Debian based, you should recommend something Debian based. Fedora, Arch, etc.

The same is also true for desktop environments, if you use KDE, recommend KDE. If you run something not necessarily beginner friendly, recommend what you’re familiar with.

At some point you’re going to be asked questions, so the more familiar you are, the better for both of you.

Wouldn’t that depend on what you’re watching?

You can watch reality TV on YouTube, or traditional television.

You can watch educational content and documentaries on YouTube, or traditional television.

Hell you can watch some traditional TV shows on YouTube or traditional television.

YouTube is just a platform for hosting content. Now they may have a “better” algorithm compared to traditional television, but that doesn’t really change much.

Computers were either Windows or Mac, they couldn’t be anything else, that was a fact. Then I saw someone using Linux and had so many questions. How? I was given a Knoppix live CD, went home, and booted my home PC into Knoppix and it changed my perception of computers.

I didn’t change over immediately but eventually Ubuntu was handing out install CDs and YouTube was full of wobbly windows and desktop cubes. It wasn’t useful but it looked cool.

I still needed Windows for gaming, but for day to day it was so much easier to use Linux.

Eventually my gaming was exclusively on the Switch and then was I was looking to play certain PC games the Steam Deck was available, so I bought that.

I think Windows 8 was the last one I used and I’ve never had any desire to go back. Linux is just easier.

But us in the middle who pretend we’re smart

The trick you’ll learn is that everyone is just pretending. The more your learn the more you realize you don’t know.

True, but this book is the best thing Microsoft has made.

After you updated the config did you update-initramfs or update-grub (I forget which flags might be needed off hand).

Since this is happening pre-boot it isn’t reading from /etc.

who needs the web?

Generative AI that’s who. For it to spit out information, it needs information. The argument may be that it is better at collecting all that information in one place and returning an answer, although we know it hallucinates responses. But to even begin a response it needs data, it needs the web.

Before Arch that role belonged to Gentoo.

To add, before the change the Gentoo wiki was a top resource when it came to Linux questions. Even if you didn’t use Gentoo you could find detailed information on how various parts of Linux worked.

One day the Gentoo wiki died. It got temporary mirrors quickly, but it took a long time to get up and working again. This left a huge opening for another wiki, the Arch wiki, to become the new top resource.

I suspect, for a number of reasons, Arch was always going to replace Gentoo as the “True Linux Explorer”, but the wiki outage accelerated it.

You also have to keep track the site and how you spell it. For example is it “Microsoft” or “microsoft”?

And keep track of the current name of the site vs the old name. For example am I signing into Microsoft or Live.com or Xbox?

And keep track of my username. Is it my email? Which email? Which username?

I understand the concept but I think if falls apart fast.

…because the author is an investigative journalist?

We all know it’s a scam, but it’s their job is to prove it. To prove it you have to (attempt to) buy it.

I agree any actual people trying to buy it are morons.
