  • Ronny Chieng's 'Fuck AI' Speech Met With Cheers From Harvard Graduates

    Jump

  • no need to burn them down, just focus on the chillers. if they use evaporative coolers a water balloon partially filled with oil and soap will fuck that entire system.

    also better to cripple then destroy as they get a full insurance payout where just drastically degrading facility performance is harder to prove the monetary value.

  • Nvidia CEO Begs Execs to Stop Telling Workers They're Fired Because of AI

    Jump

  • This is fascinating. Most of those are indeed elder millennial double spaces after the punctuation but the inconsistency is odd. Also I don't see them on my computer.

  • I am not seeing a problem so I suspect its an elder millenial/xennial thing?

    Other possibility is I am on piefed, you are lemmy, and the formatting has gotten bjorked between them?

    edit: I am curious now, can you send me a screenshot?

  • They just can't help themselves. All of these techbro fuckers jumped the gun on this being "THE" AI wave but instead have bet everything on the equivalent of the self checkout kiosk at the grocery store. That was touted as the way to save money, lower the chances of unionism, and make the checkout process more efficient. Instead it has been a money pit that introverts and morally flexible people love! AI slop is flooding Youtube, drowning the tech industry in biblical sized code commits and hallucinated security threats, while continuing to be the greatest theft in the history of our species (after that mother fucker Thog stole my ancestors shiny rock).

  • Canada Strikes Major Deal to Export Liquefied Natural Gas to Germany

    Jump

  • It's tough find good numbers but this thing (https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/natural-gas-consumption-by-country) claims Germany consumes ~78 BCM. 1 BCM is roughly 1 kilometer cubed of natural gas at a set temperature. Last I knew China was supposedly projected to consume ~380 BCM while that website has a much higher figure, but again tough to get good numbers.

    I really wish Merkel didn't go along with shuttering their nuclear energy sector, but what is done is done.

    Linus Torvalds says AI-powered bug hunters have made Linux security mailing list ‘almost entirely unmanageable’

    Jump

  • indeed! The open source community should adopt LLM powered mailing list filters. Basically new age version of "protection money" as you pay AI firms to stop other AI firms from drowning your organization.

    Joking aside, the dead Internet theory is unfortunately looking pretty accurate.

  • kinda like an anglerfish in that you are lured into a false sense of security which makes the straight to the jugular scathing responses even more effective.

  • These blue states aren’t getting fire prevention money from Trump

    Jump

  • My partner plus several of my friends work for FEMA and the sentiment is kind of fatalistic these days. Americans have really fucked these people over. Latest "Fuck you" from not just MAGA was the absolute apathy over the furlough except to get upset when TSA tried to halt the precheck lines.

    Before that, DHS started firing people by not renewing their contracts on New years eve, barely a peep on the news or social media.

    Also DHS handed down a decree that supervisors are not allowed to give anyone a rating higher than 3 (out of 5) for future annual evaluations. Basically a solid 3 out of 5 is a foundation for firing people.

    When there is a major "temporal atmospheric deviation" (they're not allowed to say "climate change") at least we might have the national guard but as for FEMA, it feels effectively dead.

    "This could cost people their jobs": VS Code added Copilot as co-author without permission or notice

  • I've been using some variation of Linux since the mid 90's but never been able to fully switch over. That said I am on my longest and perhaps permanent switch over with KDE EndevourOS (Arch based). I don't believe this is what you are hoping for but I do believe it is close so perhaps something to keep an eye on for the future.

    I have gotten Teams to run once for a about an hour before it crashed and now I can't figure out what proton/wine voodoo witch doctor recipe I used.

    No idea what luck you will have with RDP or RustDesk.

    KDE plasma's window tiling manager is really damn cool but has no documentation. Still you can do neat stuff with it like having a floating window tile on top of another tile (basically an always on top state but on steroids) with distinct tiling arrangements for each virtual desk space.

    Scaling has been good but font support is still at the "almost but still not perfect". A graphics designer might be in trouble.

    Drivers - This is where Arch's pacman (software package manager) and pkgbuild really shine. If it can compile and is available as a git repo, an rpm, or deb file then there is a good chance you can get it working. That said there are still an unfortunate mountain of unsupported stuff.

    Otherwise, with all the improvements to Wine via proton and the other forks, it is getting easier to run a lot more Window's applications.

    Like I said, EndevourOS/Arch with KDE is getting pretty close to being an easy jump from Windows but not 100% perfect.

  • The Trump Administration Aims to Penalize Disabled Adults Who Live With Their Families

    Jump

  • Even the Nazis, the literal ones from the 30s and 40s, were not as inhumane as we treat our homeless, chronically ill, an disabled.

    At least they would outright murder them while here they end up dead behind dumpsters or just outside hospitals. I did a lot of volunteer and community work until I had reached my limit of seeing how fucked up things are at the bottom.

  • Unless the CO is compromised, anyone who opts out will likely find themselves constantly "lucking out" and not going on deployments. The USN has some serious idiots in charge of our nuclear subs but they also really know how bad things get with contagions due a couple classified events.

    While I am not a big fan of sailing and such, I am one of those rare assholes that absolutely doesn't get sea sick. That said, being surrounded by vomit and shit everywhere would probably be enough to overcome that mild superpower.

  • Well there was that time an aircraft carrier was taken off the line because of rona, so not too hard to imagine how it would go.

    Also the whole "man flu" thing is actually real. Testosterone has been shown to weaken parts of the immune system - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5075254/
