The groupthink on forums is ridiculous, and you don’t need to be a capitalist nor anticapitalist to recognize that. I, too, hope that we can have healthy discussions of starkly different views.

Don’t be a simpleton.

You didn’t need to add that… This is Lemmy, not Reddit. Come on, now.

Not really, for me, anyway, but it’s good to have such diversity among us or else the human race would go extinct, haha.

Interesting premise, though unless I’ve missed something, the giveaway seems to have expired already.

Interesting, I hadn’t thought of it that way… fair!

Are they trying to fake their own numbers, or maybe one Linux fanatic who is falsely skewing representation?

Curious: how do we know that these download counts aren’t inaccurate from, like, a few bots repeatedly downloading to mess with the stats?

Agreed, I’m not sure of why LocalSend is so well-received when I’ve literally been unable to get devices to even see each other, ever, even when they’ve been on the same network; I’ve tried across multiple networks (all devices on the same network each time). Literally ToffeeShare is way easier. PlainApp I’ve had some success with as well. Bluetooth works but not all devices take it, nor Quick Share.

That’s what makes everything horrible!

I feel like the entire, boring indie game Regions of Ruin was carried by its epic music.

What about it was mediocre?!

Homeworld could have done so much more with its 3D premise, yeah, but man, that tutorial music is haunting!

I let this society kills kill my sobriety

Stoicism corrected that statement for you.

Anyone who wants to try Linux but is scared of or reluctant about anything about the process at all: talk to me! There are multiple ways to try it with zero change to your system, like Oracle VirtualBox or a USB flash drive.

have a character enact a wholly non-violent solution to the problem

They really tried that with Superman!

Ah, right, true. I’ve gotta re-watch that one, by the way!

Okay, great, thanks. I just hope that Canonical doesn’t do something like forcibly interweave a proprietary blob with a critical updated.

There comes an environmental limit, though, and computers themselves may have already been it without us realizing it, but AI use only hastens our demise: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/59966675

I can’t remember hearing any villain actually say anything like this in a while, though. Which recent movies did so? I feel like society caught on lol. The only time I can think of something sort of like this happening was in ::: spoiler Fallout, when Lucy spared the Ghoul in saying, “I’ll never be like you,” but even then, the villain never said anything; it came from the protagonist of her own accord. Personally, I thought that was one of the most profound scenes in the entire show in a positive way. :::

What you’re missing is that nothing that we have is “AI” in the true sense of the term. LLMs, ChatGPT, etc. are not “AI,” which is just an inaccurate buzzword being thrown around; they’re still advanced autocomplete algorithms with no inherent self-motivation, or else their hallucination rate would be continually dwindling without their maintainers’ help.
