Australian senator Helen Polley pointed to research that child sexual abuse material had gone up since Musk had bought the company. Polley questioned why child sexual abuse material wouldn’t result in an immediate ban on X since it was a crime, regardless of intent.

13·11 months agoSee, Picture 18 was what made me think that that had a thing going, and I could respect it even though I didn’t get it. 31 made me nope right out again.
“Sure, the outside is a little weird, but does it really need to be in this community?”
Picture 5: “Oh, found the bad one”
Picture 31: “Holy shit!”
4·11 months agoNowadays, yes. Back in the day a run on the bank could screw everyone.
It’s backed by the government. Yes, if the government falls apart the dollar will be worthless, but if the government falls apart a lot more will happen than just the currency dying.
I’m a family doctor, so I haven’t yet. It’s not a validated tool to source medical information, and I can’t paste any patient identifiers into it, so even if I wanted its input it’s way faster to just use my standard medical resources.
Our EMR plans to do some testing later this year for generative AI in areas that don’t have to be medically validated like notes to patients. I will likely sign up to pilot it if that option is offered.
I use it for D&D, though, along with a mixture of other tools, random generators, and my own homebrew. My players are aware of this.
All of them do. You’re free to criticize your government in them.
6·11 months agoIt should be noted that linux corporate is a bit different than other corporate. Ubuntu is still open source and doesn’t track you, and Canonical (their owner) knows if they piss off users too much, they’ll just switch distros.
But they do sometimes make top-level decisions that annoy the community (a lot of people hate their proprietary snap packages,) and have a different feel from community-based distros.
Not that I’m aware. I just type or paste sub@site.whatever into my Memmy search box and it pops up there.
Distros based on Ubuntu, such as Ubuntu itself, Mint, Pop!_OS, Zorin, etc. are targeted toward new and casual users. They automate a lot of things that other distros assume their users want to do on their own.
Mint is a popular choice because it’s non-corporate and has a very Windows-like default UI. But you’d be fine on any of the ones I listed.
Choosing a distro is sort of like driving a car. If you’re not a car person, you probably don’t particularly care what your vehicle’s 0-60 is, or how much torque your engine gets, or something else. You probably just want something that’s comfortable and looks nice.
As you learn about linux, you may become very interested in it, to the degree that you care about things like init systems and package management. In that case, there will be distros that suit your tastes. But if you don’t care, it’s perfectly ok to just something that feels comfortable and looks nice.
The people who are passionate about linux will have the loudest voices, and will make their favorite distro sound really good, because they are passionate. You don’t have to be that passionate, though. And if at some point you do become that passionate, you will likely be motivated to learn all the fine details on your own so you can make an informed decision that suits your own tastes, so you really won’t have to worry about matching someone else’s.
It’s good that people get excited about linux, but under the hood the distros are more alike than they are different. Don’t feel you need to have some specific distro experience to be part of the discussion: just use what you like, and if at some point you become dissatisfied, then consider changing.
They can’t see your password in a usable state, but have control over everything else.
Nonsense. If you can save even $1 per day, after a mere 1 billion days you’ll be a billionaire! Anyone can achieve that if they put their mind to it!
9·11 months agoHot take: Scrubs Season 8 was weak. Dr. Cox as chief was lame, the new interns were lame, the Janitor’s wedding was lame.
Season 9 was actually a bit of a dead cat bounce.
Only if you like prison.
