Perhaps some legend replaced all the training data with Trolololo?

If like most people they only really need a browser, Linux Mint. If they’re more of a power user, let them try a few DEs (Gnome, KDE, Cinnamon, Cosmic, XFCE) and choose a distro based on which they prefer.

Whoever receives the laptop may be able to figure out the address of the sender. Perhaps OP just doesn’t want their real identity tied to their main account.

Does your screen not have a built-in settings menu where you can turn off the stretching?

Imo the biggest problems with LLMs is that they’re being sold as something that can replace humans. The people peddling the tech are trying to hide the fact that it should never be used without HIL (human in the loop). Not for anything important.

Yeah, my impression is that LLMs are okay at writing code, but not good at software architecture.

It’s an advanced autocomplete, not something that can think, at least not on the level that humans do.

It is also extremely addictive.

A popular theory among self-proclaimed paychonauts, or people that like to experiment with drugs, but mostly psychedelics, is that using mind-altering substances could lead to ideas or insights that could be (considered) a threat to the status-quo. This is why the powers that be often demonize all drugs equally.

As others have pointed out, many people don’t really like to think about the systemic issues in society that drive people into poverty, homelessness or other problems that often go hand on hand with drug addiction.

It should be pointed out, though, that some drugs can and most likely will ruin your life. The first rule of experimenting with drugs is never, ever try heroin (or other opiates).

Try the uMatrix plugin. It allows you to dis- or enable things like scripts and images on a per-site basis.

I like this. I think instead of “vibe coding” we should call it “cuck coding”.

Not vegan (sorry), but I thought The Modern Vegetarian Kitchen by Peter Berley was really good. Not all recipes are vegan, but most (all iirc) of them also have a vegan variant.

If you need or want to run an LLM on limited hardware, you may want to look into so-called bitnets with ternary connections. These should be efficient enough to run an OK LLM on a CPU with 16 GB of ram if not less. Unfortunately they’re barely out of the experimental stage, so you’ll probably have to compile BitNet.cpp yourself or wait a few months until full support lands in Ollama.

I haven’t run a bitnet myself yet, so I can’t personally vouch for their effectiveness or usefulness.

Sounds like you’re looking for something like archivemount.

Point-and-click adventure games can be played with just the mouse. Full Throttle is about bikers.

Yeah, that guy was really ahead of his time.

I’m not sure what the connection is between rotten.com and the CIA and what that says about me as a person, but maybe I’m just too far gone to understand.

rotten.com/library contained articles with text and images, not videos of people dying. The point was to inform, not to shock. It was pretty different from the rest of the website.

If by “more CIA shit” you mean critical of AES, then yes.

Rotten.com was known for horrible pictures of gore and whatnot, but also contained a collection of interesting, weird and insightful articles at /library. That site is gone now, but the article have been preserved at https://rottenlibrary.net/
