I’m still thinking a lot of those “people” are just “bots”

I’m wondering how many are even “people”, rather than Russian bots etc

Actually, he’s such a gun afficiando that he regularly eats bullets for breakfast, but this time accidentally ate a live round which was later set off by stomach acid and propelled in an upward direction at a slight angle.

Yeah, and after having dealt with the “I missed a few updates and then the last one put my files out of sync with my schema” Docker issues, I’m very much happy to use the snap. Been on that a couple years and it’s been quite solid, even if I did have to install snapd on my Debian base for it

The obvious exception to this is cases of addiction or poor life decisions.

Like if you collect/play Pokemon or whatever as a hobby and are excited to get a rare card, that’s great and I’m happy for you.

If you’re underwater on your mortgage and your basement is full of beanie-babies - that you’re sure will make you rich in the future - but you just won a bid of $1000 for one rare beanie on eBay… yeah I’m not gonna be happy for you I’m gonna recommend talking to a professional

You wouldn’t be though. It’s 10 hours younger looking (presumably than your actual age, so it doesn’t stack)

But you’re not actually losing age in this one, just looking 10 hours younger so it wouldn’t really stack.

I’m thinking that #7 might be useful in certain policing or security positions, depending on the definition of empty (there’s always dust and air).

Got a bunch of containers that need to be inspected? You can cross the ones you can see through off the list.

Also useful for winning the cup-and-ball game

Huh. Learning a fun and cool math trick was not on the list of expected outcomes for today, but I’ll take it!

I mean, would we even be able to tell it apart from his usual rambling?

Yeah I agree. I’ve used PMOS as well as Lineage and Graphene. The latter was the best experience and PMOS was the one that needed the most work, at least to reach any sort of side adoption.

I’m actually looking at something running SailfishOS as my potential happy mid-point, but currently the Jolla phone - which would be my preferred device for this - doesn’t seem to shop outside Europe yet.

That’s kinda about power though. Think about going up a pulling a trailer up a hill with a vehicle that has a small engine versus a bigger one.

The small engine vehicle might make the hill, but it’s going up gear lower, rev higher, and probably heat up a bit.

The bigger vehicle will handle the hill and load with more grace, but may also use more fuel in everyday situations or cost more.

BG3 is kinda stretching the Deck’s engine (APU), and the fans are running like made to compensate for the heat running at 100% for longer periods. I’ve a few games that stretch the Deck’s capabilities so for those I just stream from my more powerful PC

Where did they get the ages from then? It seems to me most Disney movies explicitly don’t mention age in any sort of direct manner

I’m not sure Alice would even qualify as a Disney Princess, unless there’s some lineage I’m unaware of. She’s already one of the few without some sort of romantic subplot.

Mulan… Aristocracy with a royal award maybe, but not really royalty either.

Yup. It was more my thought that a low power over could produce sufficient results while requiring less resources. Something that can run on a desktop computer could still produce a database with reams of believable garbage that would take a lot of resources from the attacking AI to sort through, or otherwise corrupt its own harvested cache

Yeah that was my thought. Don’t reject them, that’s obvious and they’ll work around it. Feed them shit data - but not too obviously shit - and they’ll not only swallow it but eventually build up to levels where it compromises them.

I’ve suggested the same for plain old non-AI data stealing. Make the data useless to them and cost more work to separate good from bad, and they’ll eventually either sod off or die.

A low power AI actually seems like a good way to generate a ton of believable - but bad - data that can be used to fight the bad AI’s. It doesn’t need to be done real-time either as datasets can be generated in advance

Joystick and MIDI interface port

Honestly I’d love to see them flip the narrative and stand against the criminal thugs… in ICE and many metro police forces.

So now the fish are lice free, but blind? D’oh!
