Meh, I actively use it. I get why it might be unintuitive to someone newly switching.

… I actually like being able to copy a website and middle clicking to open it. I don’t think it’s a problem, it just needs to be telegraphed to the user better, and togleable.

On coaches, they often aren’t unless they have some kinda centralised display system that displays stops.

In local public transport busses, they usually are in my experience.

I think the deciding point is whether the bus has a computerised display/pa system. If the driver has to set it manually through some archaic process, it’s bound to be forgotten.

… sure. Nothing here is wrong, but there’s ways to try and mitigate that. And then it’s kinda an arms race, and vigilance.

Good as a general recommendation.

I also feel like the risk levels are very different. If it’s something that performs a function but doesn’t save/serve any custom data (e.g. bentopdf), that’s a lot easier to decide to do than something complicate like Jellyfin.

I do have public addresses for Matrix, overleaf, AppFlowy, immich because they would be much less useful otherwise. Haven’t had any problems yet, but wouldn’t necessarily recommend it to others.

I’d never host any stuff with “Linux ISOs” on a public adress, that seems like it’d be looking for trouble.

Yes. Strip searches suck. This is about publically sexualising people against their will. That also sucks.

And some people seem to be hell-bent to put much more scrutiny on the person being sexualised than on the person sexualising them.

Yeah. From experience, even moderately powerful laptops can run a win11 ltsc iot VM pretty easy, and that runs everything you need that wine can’t.

For reference, my current laptop has an 8th gen i5, 32 GB RAM. I use the VM for Lightroom, affinity. Runs perfectly fine with 4 Threads and 16 gigs of RAM.

The way the many societies treat nudity is a problem, but that is a wholly separate issue from people getting ‘undressed’ against their will.

You just have to Flash coreboot, I have three chromebooks deployed with family, one with mint and two with Endeavour. Even Touch and audio drivers work for those specific models (Acer Santa and Asus Babytiger).

I seem to remember that steam depends on the official nvidia drivers, so that might still be fumbly if you use their platform.

I wouldn’t worry about the far-left - there doesn’t seem to be a single far-left politician with a platform in the US. I’d be more worried about the mayority of people currently in the legislature being either far-right or enabling said far-right people. Those people will still be there after Trump.

I was thinking of the Firewall, and was a bit surprised - seemed outside your normal wheelhouse. This makes a lot more sense, lol.

That building looks kinda like a stick of ram from the front.

I am already self-hosting Matrix for my friend group. I suppose where just gonna move more and more stuff onto there. Doesn’t fix the issue, but you don’t have to go quietly.

At some point, your SSD will fail. If you’re lucky, that is quite a while away. If you’re unlucky, that’s tomorrow. If your data is truly critical, at least copy it to a second drive, even if you don’t do a proper/full 3-2-1 backup.

Also, if you’re asking whether you can move data from one drive from an old file system to a new file system that replaces the old one on the same drive without copying data to a different drive - no.

If I’m not mistaken, illustrator is vector based, krita is pixel based. So drawing-wise, krita is closer to Photoshop than illustrator.

The one Video I’ve seen of him was a sponsored look at an Anduril combat drone. Never bothered looking at anything else he did after.

I don’t usually engage with trolls, but my train is late and I’m all out of productive things to do while I wait.

I am not going to debate whether this is AI. If you want to believe it isn’t, you’re welcome to do that. As for why it’d be bad - I believe that a technology that is trained on the work of many artists, without permission or compensation, that puts control of visual - I am not going to call them artistic - outputs under the control of a few tech oligarchs, is bad, and should be boycotted and sabotaged if possible. Even open weight models are, ultimately, usually trained by large corporations, and openly available by their ‘benevolence’. If they decide their next generation model will be closed source, it will be.

I also believe that the sheer amount of both monetary, and physical, resources currently expended on generative AI and related technologies is largely wasted, in a world where we can hardly afford such waste.

Also, please substantiate why using rather clear signifiers of ai generated content to claim something is ai generated is likely to cause harm, and why, in your eyes, ‘pro-ai’ aren’t required to proof the merit of their believes.

Oh, and while we’re at it - do you happen to know whether there is a seahorse emoji?

If you don’t see it, I dunno what to tell you.

I have a windows VM for Adobe products, etc. Works fine for my usecase. If you need full GPU Acceleration (e.g. for Premiere), it gets a bit more complicated, but is doable still, as long as you have an iGPU or second GPU.
