It doesn’t show Antarctica, but also there’s just more stuff in the far north than the far south (if we aren’t counting Antarctica)

Crossing the globe north to south is the same distance as east to west

Not true, the earth isn’t a perfect sphere. Though I guess I’m just being nitpicky because I looked it up and it’s only ~27mi/43km longer along the equator.

Take a burner and live stream. Do not keep any sensitive info or log into anything other than the live streaming platform.

If you have your personal phone on you TURN IT OFF when law enforcement is nearby. The most secure state for your phone is before you unlock it after it boots up. The first unlock decrypts it and makes it much more vulnerable.

RAM is expensive, bulk storage like hard drives haven’t gone up as much. Yet.

One of the best things I host.

Watches Computerphile, thinks it’s actual programming

What is this even supposed to imply

Antenna for as many games as I can, piracy for the rest.

Common within a very small niche. I got it, but still assumed you were trying to circumvent some kind of censorship

This is the fediverse you don’t need to be cryptic about it

I’m not wild about it for desktop, but I did convert a laptop into a gaming PC for the living room (for lighter titles). I went with Bazzite for the Steam-deck like features and it has been great.

They sent us an email saying that we should only use Copilot built into the Microsoft 365 stuff work provided, if we use AI.

But no mandate or instructions otherwise thankfully. But I don’t work in tech.

Yeah it would be small to the point of not being perceptible. A single atom has an insane amount of energy for its size, but its still not enough to move a grain of sand any amount that would be perceptible to the naked eye

Salad-broth supercritical phase

Reuters cited sources to report that US tech giant Apple plans not to comply with the mandate and will convey the same to New Delhi.

Usually because they include by default some proprietary software. Usually that is firmware for processors or graphics. Or they by default include repositories with non-free software. Also media codecs are a common one too.

The FSF takes a pretty extremist approach to FOSS. Which isn’t necessarily bad.

Uhhh no that’s not true. Unless you’re one to say everything a computer does is AI, like the NPCs in video games are “AI”

I refer specifically to generative AI that’s taken prominence this decade.

But also because (at least as far as I can tell), he doesn’t use AI.

Does he though??

I looked into it and found this from not even all that long ago.

I’m all for calling slop out, but we gotta be sure. It does kinda have that style but I don’t see other signs.

Edit: He’s posted his art on Instagram since at least 2020, well before AI image models could put out anything nearly passable.

For Linux, you find out if there is a package. If not you go to a website and see if there is an app image or zip file. You then need to know where to place the downloaded file, how to get it running (making it executable), knowing how to chmod and chown (it is better to have to do it like in Linux, but it is an extra step), and how to add it to your desktop (there is no right+click and add to desktop/create shortcut option in Arch based distros like there is on Windows). If there is a service component you may need to go into command line and systemctl to enable it.

I don’t think I’ve ever followed that workflow to be honest. Except for when doing something niche and way above and beyond something a casual user would do.

Open the software center, search what you want. Click install. Done. I use the terminal to the same effect but that’s by preference. Installing packages as you described is not at all recommended… They won’t update with the system.

The “add to desktop” thing really depends on your Desktop Environment too. GNOME not really, KDE and most others yeah.
