MacOS is “Unix” in paid certification dollars only.

I have hundreds of hours in Helldivers 2 and I haven’t played a single minute on Windows.

And not all anti-cheat is malware. I was referring to the kernel level anti-cheats.

As of now, you have to make an effort to find a game that won’t work through Proton, aside from games with malware (anti-cheat).

much of it details technical reasons why digital is much much better than analog for intelligent systems

For current LLMs there would be a massive gain in energy efficiency if analogue computing was used. Much of the current energy costs come from stimulating what effectively analogue processing on digital hardware. There’s a lot lost in the conversation, or “emulation” of analogue.

I’ve been using “cheap” 43" 4k TVs as my main monitor for over a decade now. I used to go purely with Hisense, they have great colour and PC text clarity, and I could get them most places for $250 CAD. But this year’s model they switched from RGB subpixel layout to BGR, which is tricky to get working cleanly on a computer, even when forcing a BGR layout in the OS. One trick is to just flip the TV upside down (yes it actually works) but it just made the whole physical setup awkward. I went with a Sony recently for significantly more, but the picture quality is fantastic.

Then don’t buy those devices. If you have any excuse as to why you “can’t do that”, then there’s zero point in complaining. I’m not saying your complaints are invalid, and companies should be held accountable and criticised. But as long as people buy privacy violating products, companies will continue to violate privacy.

You mean from just now? Otherwise I don’t get the reference

Ok, now I’m actually curious how you managed to do that. Please do tell!

I can tell you from personal experience that you’re wrong

If enough people bring it up to their work, then the policy can be re-evaluated.

Boss told me I couldn’t use EndeavourOS because “it doesn’t work with M$ InTune”.

That’s technically not true, it will work but with the caveat that Intune will show the device as non-compliant for the OS itself. If the OS version isn’t included in any of the applied policies then it shouldn’t matter.

Shh, just let them complain about their boyfriend.

I tried to demo an agentic AI in Jetbrains to a coworker, just as a “hey look at this neat thing that can make changes on its own”. As the example I told it to convert a constructor in c# to a primary constructor.

So it “thought” and made the change, “thought” again and reverted the change, “thought” once again and made the change again, then it “thought” for a 4th time and reverted the changes again. I stopped it there and just shook my head.

It’s the same reason that facial recognition has more false positives for people with more melanin in their skin.

This is not the real reason. It’s because camera tech from more than 10 years ago was worse than today and had trouble with anything less than ideal lighting conditions. Darker textures reflect less light, so the darker someone’s skin the less details a camera can see.

However we’re still talking about a 0.001 FMR for white men to a 0.002 FMR for black men. That’s “2x more false matches” but it’s a 0.001 difference.

With modern cameras and recent facial recognition tech, the issue in differences of skin colour is virtually non-existent. Yes, I know of the news stories about false arrests in recent years, but no tech is perfect and you’re talking about a few instances out of billions.

No, I’m not defending the use of the tech, just pointing out facts.

But it’s still Windows.

Doesn’t matter how much hot sauce and cinnamon you dunno on to a turd, it’s still a turd.

Oh really? I have Bazzite on my TV laptop. Perfect way to try it. Thanks!

How did you get it running? I’ve tried compiling it on a fresh Arch and fresh Ubuntu 22.04 install and the compiler breaks halfway through.

I only spent about 10 or so minutes each time trying to fix it and moved on.

I’m familiar with fish shell, but what specifically makes you like it?

Why not just make the alias command cat the file instead?

Edit: I wrote grep instead of cat
