My answer to this is: don’t clean and organize anything. Wherever my wife lets me get away with it, it’s been working great for me for the past 35 years.

search “Hentai Alien Tentacle Porn” for you

This is suspiciously specific 🙂

Even if it was open source (it isn’t, because no model is really open source ultimately) and even if it let you review what it says it’s gonna do, AI is known for pulling all kinds of shit and lie about it.

Would you really trust your system to something that can do this? I wouldn’t…

I look forward to not installing it.

I was expecting it to be vulgarly gilded. The orange utan is letting himself go.

I live way up north in the boonies. My first neighbor is 5 miles from my place. Our sky is perfectly clear with zero light pollution. We get all the stars and the northern lights too.

Probably some tankie administrator of one community read your comment in another and decided to preemptively ban you. I’m banned from multiple tankie communities I’ve never even set foot in myself. Not that I care 🙂

The solution is: when you get banned for no good reason, block the community - or the entire instance in extreme cases of craziness like Hexbear or Lemmygrad. Then it disappears from your Lemmy experience entirely and you never need be frustrated ever again.

Did you get banned from tankie communities? Because that’s ridiculously easy. Those people are fucking crazy.

Don’t fret it. View it as social Darwinism: whichever communities banned you for posting what you thought were reasonable comments, you probably don’t want to partake in anyway.

It’s Microsoft. Assume surveillance.

that and fucking ads galore

And trackers.

And Javascript that give you the time in the page, as if you didn’t have a clock on your desktop.
And Javascript that give you a fake chat window to talk to a shitty AI nobody wants in the bottom-right corner.
And Javascript to annoy you with GDPR shit everybody absent-mindedly clicks away anyway.
And Javascript to inform you that the site uses cookies, as if it mattered since it won’t work without cookies.
And Javascript that nags you for a subscription or stop you scrolling to force you to create an account.
…

And of course, all that is done by loading megabytes and megabytes of shit recursively from a kajillion nested addresses because web “developers” couldn’t code tight code if their lives depended on it. All they do is import pre-chewed shit that acts as trojans for big data players to plant more trackers and more ads in your browser, just to serve up barf people by and large don’t give a shit about.

No: the waiting time is more like 9 months and fully-loaded, you’re looking at north of €1,800 :)

The point of MNT machines isn’t value for money, but openness and sovereignty over what you own. They’re not for everybody, but my kids are out of the house, the house is paid for and so I have the means to put my money where my convictions are.

But no matter: the point was that Linux ARM laptops really are nothing new.

I’m fascism-intolerant. Different disease, but one I’m proud to suffer from.

Well, Proton can move wherever they want and be as good as they what, I’ll never be a customer again because of what their fuckhead CEO Andy Yen said.

I don’t care that he’s backpedaled, I don’t care that Andy Yen isn’t Proton-the-company, and I’m even willing to accept it was a very unfortunate duh moment on his part. Here the thing: I don’t have many ways as a nobody to get back at Trump, but one way is to not give any of my money to anybody who enabled him, even by mistake.

So Proton is on my shitlist forever thanks to Yen.

A good 10 years. I’ve had zero issues, with my account or my family members’.

“Pave the way for ARM64 laptops?”

I have an ARM64 laptop as my daily driver right here on my desk and it’s happily running Debian 13. The road is quite paved already.

Funny, from my standpoint, more functional JavaScript almost always feels like service degradation - as in, the more I block, the better and the faster the website runs.

That’s why my email provider is in Norway and not Switzerland. Norway has much stronger privacy laws.

The AI driver keeps taking its robotic hand off the wheel to crack Nazi salutes all the time.

I hate to be that guy, but I will point out that “man” in English can mean both a male human and humankind in general.

As in “Man is a wolf to man”: women too can be wolves and victims alike.

Or “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”: womankind is definitely included here.

Call it sexist. I even agree that it is. But the fact remains that, for historical and outdated patriarcal reasons, “man” in the English language, like in many others, does bear that meaning.

As for “man” being in “necromancer”, I reckon it’s like “fun” being in “fungi”: you’re not interpreting it right 🙂
