But that’s what fans are for

What?

How is that fucking legal?

I have never seen this edit before.

1. People say that because they don’t know what it feels like. Basically, they’re projecting

2. Technically one can argue fairly that it doesn’t exist, but that argument would be about semantics. Doing something good for others at the expense of yourself either because it feels good to do, or because somewhere in your brain you think there will be good karma or a celestial reward, well… maybe those aren’t truly “altruism”, but can anybody tell the goddamned difference in the grand scheme of things?

Are you, like, 12? >:C

There are many problems with this argument; but it’s 11pm and I’m sleepy, so have the first one that came to mind.

Those countries don’t have a lot of wealth per capita to begin with, so it’s not a goddamned equal comparison.

Linux fanaticism drives me crazy. I’m definitely not saying this is true of everyone, but the very nature of Linux seems to attract many elitists who are against unified vision, accessibility, and the unfun amount and types of work required for testing quality and compatibility. The result is that for the foreseeable future, desktop Linux is a mess for everyone, and unusable by the masses. And while I’ll get downvoted for saying that (and for saying the rest of this), I feel like many Linux fanatics secretly like that “normal peasants” can’t effectively use Linux.

I will take some corporate bullshit that works, over only-half-working FOSS any day of the week. And I’m not shitting on FOSS itself. I’m just saying Linux is a disorganized and unfriendly mess. I never did get any sound whatsoever working on my i7-6700 and MSI gaming motherboard in Ubuntu, no matter how long I screwed around with Linux. And that was just to start. I wanted to love and use Linux, I really did.

Lastly, I just want to say I’m super happy with the other responses from Linux fans in this thread. They seem to understand that Linux is overrated, isn’t for everyone, doesn’t always work, and that Linux-pushers can be obnoxious. I super appreciate that understanding, fam.

Huh, I say “gotchu fam” too. Anyway, thanks! And yeah, that’s cringe.

I want to see the original too.

Edit: Nevermind, it’s posted below. It’s really cringey.

“Eat a tick” is a new one. I like it.

That’s what happened to me too just now! xD

Blegh, I wish you the best of luck.

I’d also like to say that !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world exists now! ^^

(And yes, that is a shameless promotion, because I’d like to see it get more activity. xD )

If it had actual life hacks, probably.

What was that? O:

Hmm, I wasn’t around for old Kotaku, but I think Kotaku still posts some good stuff? Or are they not Gawker?

Heck if I know them. Anyone else? ^^

It’s getting old telling people this, but… the AI that we have right now? Isn’t even really AI. It’s certainly not anything like in the movies. It’s just pattern-recognition algorithms. It doesn’t know or understand anything and it has no context. It can’t tell the difference between a truth and a lie, and it doesn’t know what a finger is. It just paints amalgamations of things it’s already seen, or throws together things that seem common to it— with no filter nor sense of “that can’t be correct”.

I’m not saying there’s nothing to be afraid of concerning today’s “AI”, but it’s not comparable to movie/book AI.

Edit: The replies annoy me. It’s just the same thing all over again— everything I said seems to have went right over most peoples’ heads. If you don’t know what today’s “AI” is, then please stop assuming about what it is. Your imagination is way more interesting than what we actually have right now. This is why we should have never called what we have now “AI” in the first place— same reason we should never have called things “black holes”. You take a misnomer and your imagination goes wild, and none of it is factual.
