I came here to see if someone had already posted this. I wasn’t disappointed.
I’m willing to get upset about this if anyone needs the comfort Reddit normal brings. I definitely think this if hilarious but I promise I won’t show it if my service is required. 🤣

Technology@lemmy.world•AI has had zero effect on jobs so far, says Yale studyEnglish
91·2 months agoAi has been trained on current and past writing which could be considered plagiarism depending on if you’re asking an Ai CEO or not. My question is, what happens when most writing is done by Ai? Do they continue to train it but now on itself? Will the language models experience deterioration at that point?
Dude, for sure you do NOT love arguing. I don’t even think you like it. Just quietly accept that you’re wrong.

331·2 months agoPeople are easily convinced to choose a view based on what everyone else around them is doing. This is why Ai is such a threat right now because a single actor can flood social media, comment boards and other online groups with comments arguing a point to convince everyone theyre the ones with the alternative view. It’s programmed social manipulation.
This really isn’t as easy as it sounds. Moving means you lose your support system of friends and family etc. Some people have children and need the grandparents to help watch them during the day as just one example. Job opportunities are likely not the same. While their current city job may not pay a lot the opportunities from that job could lead a lot higher but of course life choices can be a gamble. On top of all of that, moving long distance is difficult and expensive.
I have a highly intelligent friend from a small southern town and he moved out of there because he recognized there weren’t any opportunities for someone with talent but no capital. Sure he could have stayed and bought a cheaper house but he’d still struggle to make the payment on his small salary.

1441·4 months agoHe won’t affect global policy much at all. He’s a threat to the mega wealthy because he’s a symbol of change in the American people.
This is the same reason the elite went so hard on the communist scare late last century. Back then certain political views were almost a criminal offense. Hopefully history doesn’t repeat itself here.

Technology@lemmy.world•Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USAEnglish
4·5 months agoIt really depends on your hardware. I have a Dell XPS with an 11th gen Intel i5 that I’m running Fedora (Gnome desktop environment) on and it was rock solid from minute one. Things to check:
-
Make sure your network card is supported. Intel network cards are some of the better choices for open source compatibility. On most laptops this can be swapped out if necessary.
-
Camera
-
Touchpad
-
Fingerprint sensor
-
Sound driver
-
Any niche functions or modules. Think things like a secondary display on the keyboard, speciality ports etc.
Support is much better now than in the past and remember you don’t need everything to work to have a good time. My fingerprint sensor doesn’t work but it didn’t work well under windows so no big loss for me.
- You can always use a live bootable USB drive to test your hardware without having to commit to anything. This will tell you a lot about the experience you might have after installation. Heck, if you’re board you can try this right now and it won’t touch your current hard drive or operating system.

Nvidia is using the “its fake news” strategy now? My how the mighty have fallen.
I’ve said it many times but publicly traded companies are destroying the world. The fact they have to increase revenue every single year is not sustainable and just leads to employees being underpaid, products that are built cheaper and invasive data collection to offset their previous poor decisions.
