Do you fear technology

Oh yes! Greatly!

Windows

Ah, a different kind of fear was meant…

I mean if someone can conceive it then yes.

Personally I do think there will always be a “class” of some sort since even among career and financial equals I still view colleagues as a different class of human.

Like I’m a camp in the woods kinda human where my coworker is a take his car to a race track kinda human.

But that’s never the class that is being discussed.

A classless society is specifically one where someone doesn’t have power over you by some financial measure. A true meritocracy as there is no financial incentive to be in those roles since it is also a moneyless society.

Utopian? Maybe. Conceivable? Yeah I can conceive what that would be like and I want to strive for it.

Maybe its not important if its possible and its just important that there are people willing to work towards it or implement something like it in their own controllable way.

A 4060ti has been out long enough that you’re fine with basically any main stream distro.

I think even the 50 series is fine now with most mainstream distros as well.

I still prefer arch based distros now for Nvidia cards and honestly, Fedora is great!

Great read and good points by you.

That’s a fair read and I had kinda come to that thought process. He’s a friend of Trumps and I guess Musk as well. So he’s okay with fascists.

But I do want to point out that in the linked article, he talks about a guy, Franchi, who received support from Communists and presumably the UK while resisting Mussolini but was a monarchist who fell into right wing activities after the war and was charged for plotting a pro monarchy court d’etat.

Much like how I don’t condemn small African anti colonial governments for taking Russian assistance. I don’t immediately view a struggling Small Pro Capitalist state taking USA assistance as inherently condemn able.

I don’t know Milei’s full views, but I struggle to have “guy who’s rounding up all the racial undesirables and occupying cities with troops” on the same level as “guy who thinks letting companies pay in milk is good”. Both are dangerous and bad ideas, but one is much MUCH worse in my opinion.

If I’m missing something, I’m genuinely down to learn more. These are just my concerns with my limited understanding.

Genuine question for an OOTL guy

Is Milei actually a fascist and why?

I just genuinely haven’t kept up with him I knew he was a pretty serious libertarian cut all the government subsidy type, but I didn’t think he was a fascist.

Is it a HUD or just a spy tool?

I gotta wear glasses anyways so it’d be cool if I can get like a pathing over lay with maps and maybe customizable notifications.

But video calling and just taking poorly framed pictures isn’t interesting.

If you haven’t seen The Last Kingdom I heavily recommend it.

I made this document a while back for new gun owners with the absolute basics.

I learned something interesting from my AI researcher friend.

ChatGPT is actually pretty good at giving mundane medical advice.

Like “I’m pretty sure I have the flu, what should I do?” Kinda advice

His group was generating a bunch of these sorta low stakes urgent care/free clinic type questions and in nearly every scenario, ChatGPT 4 gave good advice that surveyed medical professionals agreed they would have given.

There were some issues though.

For instance it responded to

“Help my toddler has the flu. How do I keep it from spreading to the rest of my family?”

And it said

“You should completely isolate the child. Absolutely no contact with him.”

Which you obviously can’t do, but it is technically a correct answer.

Better still, it was also good at knowing its limits and anything that needed more than OTC and bedrest was seemingly recognized and it would suggest going to an urgent care or ER

So they switched to Claude and Deepseek because they wanted to research how to mitigate failures and GPT wasn’t failing often enough.

HP whatever with a 7th gen Intel

All can be had for $50 ish

Yeah that’s covered in the book and podcast.

Not in crazy detail but it is there already within academia.

The idea is that whatever hyper dense state of energy caused our big bang has caused others.

I’m just a tech guy so I can’t explain it with justice, but I heavily recommend at least scrubbing that podcast for when they talk about almost exactly what you described!

A Microsoft glazing botnet leveraging copilot and all of r/linuxsucks training data to shitpost on Lemmy made by a developer who took a Janatorial job at Microsoft to “get his foot in the door” during an internal hackathon he was accidentally invited to.

Damn it! Another book for the list!

I have a book on my to read list that delves into all the ideas about the “big bang” and how a lot of scientists are convinced that there were are and will be more “big bangs”

It’s called “Battle of the Big Bangs”

I learned it from Alex O’Connor’s “Within Reason” podcast episode 115

I don’t know who any of these people are.

Except Zach Galifianakis

Obviously I know who Zach Galifianakis.

Didn’t know he was a tiktok Marxist now, but good for him!

I’m a Linus shill, but I’m also a Craft Computing, LevelOneTechs, and Jeff Geerling shill.

Funny domain names for hosting code is why godaddy exists.

I’m excited to submit my future CS assignments with

You didn’t ghost her first of all. Inadvertently or otherwise.

This is a pretty easy way to gauge someone’s interest by just seeing if they ever message you first.

Really you should just take this as a sign to move on and work on relationships that are two sided. Ones where the other person texts first.

Sorry its happened to you, but its always better now then after you’ve invested a serious amount of time and emotional energy into a relationship.

I’ve been thinking about swapping my work laptop to Linux too.

The difference is I’m in IT and I know what all things I need to put on my computer to make it compliant with all our policies and all the software I need to do my job.

I’ve been experimenting by running some Linux VMs with all the EDR, patching, and logging software we need. But by the time I’m doing all that, there’s really no point in using Linux except for the CLI which WSL has been great for that.
