Wasn’t your point that it doesn’t change much? I’d argue that that’s a significant change.

Search engines aren’t boiling the earth on a per-query basis

Either way, the real question is: To what end? I don’t believe that Musk suddenly gives a shit about humanity

If you don’t trust the source, absolutely. However, other sources aren’t cooking the earth like AI does.

It’s not news. I know.

Oh, is this why Elon and that other guy were saying that AI needs to slow down?

My view is that 15 years ago (maybe longer) “ads are the price you pay” was valid. They weren’t tracking everything you do… yet. They’ve gone too far and until they stop there’s no reason for you play by the rules either.

You know what? That was a great article. Well researched and not too wordy, so I didn’t get bored. If you skipped it and came straight to the comments, you should click it, Adblock or not.

There’s so much slop out here, we should let them know we like this.

Anyway, as for the content of the article… meh, I don’t care about Office but it would be good for Linux in general to have it working.

Because you can judge the source of the information yourself, whereas with AI, who tf knows?

What I do know is that it’s wrong enough that I should double check everything it says.

Just yesterday AI told my brother that a run of 4 in crib is actually 2 runs of 3. I made him pull out the Bicycle official card game book and look up the rules because I knew that was wrong.

Why even use it if you have to double check everything it says?

I have 2 boxes. One for current cables in use on new devices, and one for old stuff. Everything gets coiled and e-taped (over-undered even if it’s long enough)

I had to dig through the old one for a display cable and and an adapter just yesterday!

Any Linux distro with Plasma Bigscreen. My TV box is an old laptop I got for free from work running Cachy OS. I have a remote-sized keyboard/trackpad that I use to control it. I mostly just need the arrows, but the whole keyboard is there if I need to go in to the desktop OS.

I could use a recommendation for a big-screen ad-blocking YouTube app though.

My last Mac mini lasted that long.

it’s actually still going as my Jellyfin server, running Mint. Big upgrade from the 20 year old laptop I was using before :D

Nice. I should have assumed it had been done more recently.

Same. I just got a good deal on one pre-price increase (so an even better deal) in April.

Once I can get my hands on a Graphene capable phone I’m out on corporate OSes and hopefully this hardware will last through the AI bubble.

I would think putting the computer in the keyboard would make more sense. Lots more room, and you don’t move it around so much.

But I guess that was already done with the Commodore 64 🤷‍♂️

I’ve only tried Ubuntu, Mint, and CachyOS.

Didn’t like Ubuntu much, but probably because it was my first Linux attempt and I’d probably understand better now.

Mint is cool, my laptop is running it, but the system settings being individual apps is frustrating, especially when you can’t remember the name of the one you want and there’s 2 display ones? Grrrrr

I like Cachy a lot. I haven’t used it as much as I’ve only put it on a second laptop to use as a media centre in conjunction with Plasma Big Screen, but I’m thinking of switching my laptop over to it because it feels mostly the same in desktop mode, but the system settings are unified and a lot easier to deal with.

(My desktop is still a Mac, I haven’t converted completely sorry)

What do you think it was trained on to be able to create child porn? Yes, children were harmed and will continue to be harmed to “improve the model”

RF USB Dongle, it shows up as a keyboard.

It’s this one here

I use Plasma Big screen and have a remote sized keyboard with trackpad. The arrow keys are usually all you need, but the rest is there if you do need it.
