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.

I don’t think the learning curve is any harder than someone who’s learning Windows for the first time.

It’s just different. Honestly in some ways simpler IMO. But if you were a life long Mac user and touched Windows for the first time today you’d probably have a rougher time I think.

I’m not sure I’d argue binary is more or less “logical”. A number is a number.

A strictly logical 24 hour clock would just display the digits tbh.

Installing anything. Updating. Formatting drives.

They should but they wouldn’t be optimized for touch or small screens

I used to run a dozen or so docker services off a pi. Docker doesn’t hit it that bad.

It super depends on the person. But for my SO no problem. For my out of town family lmaooo forget about it.

I’m kinda stunned that it’s EVER outside the sun.

I mean you couldn’t get a script/diagnosis on that info, but I wouldn’t think there’d be any issues with putting a sample under a slide for funsies?
