This is definitely a thing.

Or extortion. He makes a stink, they make some campaign donations, and he backs off or gives them a slap on the wrist.

Of course it is, because nobody is willing to try and quantify or qualify the harms that seeing pornography has on a young person. It’s just “adult content” so we’ll go so far as to put VR headsets on everyone and ask them to verify their age or else they get a PG, low-polygon representation of reality!

As far as vim goes I’ll say it’s not really necessary to learn but it’s a good tool to have in your belt. I once tried to print the manual to vim but noped out after about 100 pages. I’d say learn how to navigate, edit, copy-paste, find and replace text in vim. You could go all the way to do crazy things like running a CLI command from within vim and put the result into the editor but from a desktop environment it isn’t as helpful compared to simply having two terminal instances open.

TUIs FTW!

Pretty sure PWAs can run in the background.

ICE recently lured someone out of their house by claiming to be a construction worker (dressed up I’m guessing) that hit a parked car. 😮‍💨

Clearly an emoticon/emoji of Iron Man’s chest.

I mean, yeah, this is the system working as intended: corporations chasing profits and feeling no regrets about burning bridges in the process.

So AI slop doesn’t get generated, just imagine the visual of the Egyptologist from The Mummy holding a GPU, saying, “What have we done?”, while covered in dickflies.

Oh, hell yes! I’ve been looking for something almost exactly like this!

Sometime that code will expire and you need to alternate to sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda bs=4M. Works most of the time for me.

OHHHHHH, so when kids toys are talking nasty it’s the PARENTS that need to be on alert, but not so much when THE PARENTS hand their kids unrestricted and unmonitored smartphones to seek out adult material on explicitly labeled adult websites! 🖕🤬🖕

It’s called prison labor.

The ultimate goal of capitalism is to have an infinite pool of workers, working infinite hours, for $0.

Running i2p or Tor isn’t that challenging and demand drives innovation. I could see one-click solutions taking off in a few months if people were willing to pay a few bucks a month to download basically anything the dark web can offer.

Only if you promise not to pay for it.

Other than battery optimizations pretty much all of the issues don’t exist on something like a Raspberry Pi which is RISC architecture (Broadcom chips). Sounds like Qualcomm just doesn’t have their shit together.

Probably hundreds of movies show all the ways making humanoid robots can go wrong. Why the hell does anyone think it’s still a good idea to make robots that are significantly stronger than humans?

I’ve been on Bazzite for a while now and it’s almost boring how stable it is.

I agree it’s a potential drawback for people that like tinkering. It kind of turns your computer into a very flexible gaming console.
