Most likely if you wanted to generate qr code that looks like swastika, you would have to input very specific letter nonesense to do it. Its very specific scenario and just pointless waste of manhours to prevent it, when someone who would want to generate such qr code would just do something else if prevented.

at least this would create quite nice case if someone has to defend oneself in court. Either one can defend oneself with it or its dismissed and it proves that law does not apply to the rich.

can’t logic someone out of somewhere they didnt logic themselves in.

So first try to understand how your friend feels and what is really going on with them.

i wonder which would be worse idea, letting llm to have full access to your critical systems and data, or letting random people from internet freely connect to them and expect them to help.

it seems if game hasnt been specificially made in such way it will not work on linux or uses some intrusive “anti cheat”, it will work much better than on windows ever. For me, not a single game i have wanted to play has failed to work on linux. I even got star citizen to work by installing it according to guide and using windows emulator. On steam, even some really old game, longest journey (from 2000) worked flawlessly when i tested how it will run.

nah, its the companies that are coming after the minds. llm are just their instrument for it.

Way I see it, death is something that is in between different states, something ends and something else begins.

those who dont mean what they say with it actually mean “dont resist”. Abhorring violence is noble, but bad people have latched on to it like a parasite.

without death there is no end and without end there is no real beginning either since the word doesnt even have meaning at that point. And without end there is also no change, because changing enough would be also kind of an ending and also “dying” as one version of you stops and another begins. Could such being even be sentient enough to understand you? Would it want to be?

at some point the failure of justice system will lead to vigilantism because people truely lose their faith in it.

i want it banned even if it doesnt

the thing is, alternatives need to be able to cater also the tech illiterate. Otherwise we will have growing number of people that will just accept all this bullshit and eventually start to view more free systems with suspicion(after some propaganda from corporations), which might lead to pressure to limit/restrict those free systems in personal usage.

We really need a distro that we can recommend to some grandma who can barely open their pc by themselves and which they can use easily and safely. Since most people use pc for mostly browsing and maybe printing,text editing, i think it shouldnt be too hard to make something that is easy to use since you can leave majority of functions off and mostly have to think of ease of use/automation.

removing downvotes is same as giving upvotes to trolls and assholes by default. not even toxic positivity imo, just plain toxicity

Though when you do encounter problems in windows, they will likely be something that just cant be solved or its unnecessarily big hassle. Or bad stuff will happen that was mostly out of your hands in the first place, like what happened with the article.

But yeah, there should be a distro that is specificially aimed for tech illiterate people that is nice and easy to use and also safe. But then again, if majority started using linux it might also draw more attention from malicious parties like criminals and corporations. Its just that for me, once you have linux set up and automated, you dont need to do anything complicated with it if you dont want to. At least i havent had to on mint. I understand that basic users can’t do that on their own, but I bet there are tons of people who have skills to do so and could do it for a reasonable pay or even as a favor to friend. People are willing to pay more for less, so why not.

yeah, bazzite is still somewhat confusing to me because its so different from other distros i have used. But whenever i dont know or understand something i just search for guides and explanations or if nothing else works or i feel lazy i might even cave in to ask llm for info. Idea of not looking up information when needed is just something that doesnt even occur to me, its like refusing to be autonomous.

oh… if the bar is there then I dont even know what to say…

For me, such way of thinking is really alien.

no matter how difficult you think linux is to use, can it really be that difficult compared to windows? At least with linux any problems can be solved one way or another and with varying levels of effort. With windows, you just have to deal with the ever increasing levels of bullshit. And if you dont need to do anything complicated and use pc just for browsing, email and other simple stuff, why would you put yourself through using windows to do it? People should really consider if the mental models they have in their heads about different operating systems are actually based on reality.

no, she just think she is being helpful but doesnt care what i think about it because apparently she knows everything better. She would just ignore that or otherwise make me even more annoyed.

it was? havent watched it. I really hope it wont ever come to that, but knowing what those monsters do to kids it wouldnt surprise me if they wanted to make that movie into reality.

my mother constantly keeps sending me texts that are just direct copy-paste from llm output. can’t even tell her to stop doing it because she just ignores me if i say something she doesnt want to hear.
