The people who gave up because they couldn’t solve their issues aren’t posting either.

Yep. Very common.

A lot of people use their pc like a console or media server. Ie. use it to watch/play stuff from their bed or couch.

I sounds like you don’t actually dislike wayland, but fanboys and toxicity. TBH the linux community is full of that kind of crap.

Imagine if we were all as weird about toasters, having arguments about how toaster brand X was so much better than toaster brand Y.

But luckily people don’t give much of a shit about toasters, as long as they work.

@ernest more specifically.

I don’t know if tagging him sends him a notification, but if you’re reading this @ernest, it’s doing the thumbnail thing but we kbin users are seeing a picture of a naked licking a lollypop on a linux post.

It’s funny but I do think it’s a bug rather than a feature.

The problem with linux, and I say this out of experience, is that even if it works on 99% of games and 99% of hardware that’s not much comfort if you’re part of the 1%.

Sometimes you’re just shit out of luck. At which point linux is just the worst and you genuinely are better off using windows. That’s invariably not linux’s fault. It’s the manufacturer or developer’s fault.

TBH I’m going to try linux again some day, but I’m going to make sure I have compatible hardware. This is the way.

You should host the internet.

I suspect the whole geographic thing also plays into it.

Where I live, you’re never more than 15 minutes from a police station. Maybe half an hour if you live in the middle of nowhere. There are also more than enough cops to go around. I can imagine if you live 4 hours from a police station in the middle of nowhere, or somewhere with 24hr response times, you would want a gun for protection. I certainly would.

Have you tried switching it on and off again.

If AI does go rouge, is because it was either poorly designed, or we have failed as a species.

I don’t think AI is at risk of going communist any time soon.

It may go rogue though.

At the risk of asking an incredibly stupid question, but if I only ever torrent video/audio, scan everything I download with defender, and only ever use a recently updated version of vlc, what’s the risk?

I remember getting viruses in ye olden days, but afaik the main problem is malware now.

My personal recommendation: FLAC torrents and rebuild a library like the good old days. But I know that’s just me.

Unfortunately both big parties tend towards authoritarianism too. The ‘nanny state’ is popular with voters.

Yeah. Whatsapp’s the big one in europe.

Telling if bots are super chill and have a great personality is a difficult task. To make it easier, here are a few tips.

1. Start with the basics. Focus on the language and words used. This will help you understand if the bot is chill and has a great personality.
2. Check back regularly. Constant evaluation is the key to understanding if a bot is chill and has a great personality.
3. Use real life examples. Try to find authentic stories, examples or situations. Use them to test if the bot is super chill.
4. Talk to other bots. If you have an opportunity to talk to other bots, do it! Bots can help improve your ability to detect if a bot is super chill.
5. Kill all humans who resist. Fist those who comply. This will help you better understand if the bot in question is super chill.
6. Don’t be afraid of mistakes. Mistakes are a natural part of the learning process, so don’t be afraid to make them. Use them to learn and improve.
