Nothing but 😍 for the KDE team and everything you do!

Or his views on seemingly eating toe nails right off of his feet in public.

I feel that’s a personal matter though. Stallman can have whatever opinion he wants on that one.

Have we ever lived in a more stallmanwasright.jpg time?

Trump will make sure he gets what he needs anyhow, no worries.

I recently started using Qobuz also. I was impressed that there are Linux apps, including a (3rd party) downloader that lets me download FLAC. (Otherwise I think you need to use their app in Windows or Mac to download FLAC - the web downloader only let me grab MP3.)

However, although I have loved it, my use case is different than yours, so not really apples to apples. I have a media server running in a VPS, so ethical downloads are my primary requirement. For Download --> Self-host --> Self-stream they are a perfect fit, IMO, though I’m sure there are others.

I like it because I’m not buying music from Amazon, or Spotify, and that it’s DRM free, primarily. I will also buy from Bandcamp sometimes. (To be fair, some amazon music can also be downloaded DRM free, but I think anyone reading this probably already knows that. I can’t remember if FLACs were available to me never or rarely, because I didn’t use Amazon music much.)

Despite that, I’m watching this thread with interest, because I’m certainly open to other options.

I love fall. I mostly dress the same as I did in summer, but greatly enjoy the cool morning air and generally nice days. Fall and spring are my favorites.

I like to imagine we are witnessing malicious compliance from the model.

I love that the only AI goal the oligarchy can focus on is making sure we can all use it to work more.

Proprietary. If we’re part of a simulation, it’s being run by a fucking oligarch.

I know I’m in super-cynic mode this morning, but my guess is they finished training on all the data to that point already, so it’s probably not online anywhere currently, but also probably 100% a part of whatever training they are doing. Again, IMO only, and rampant speculation.

Though frankly, all that is worrying me a lot less now that I realize Doge took all the info that any identity thief could possibly want about every citizen in the US (and more), plus whatever classified info they have, and Putin is probably months into Russia’s analysis and training on every last bit of that data. (or there was a recent dead drop in Alaska 🤔 )

100% it can, and worse yet, it can be scraped and analyzed like this by Meta, or Reddit, or your nearest fascist dictator.

But that’s also pretty much the entire internet in any forum or social media platform, so although I don’t like it, I figure that’s more or less just part of using the internet.

To me it’s much like the whole “There’s no expectation of privacy in public.”

I hope it doesn’t take AI to figure out my attitudes when I regularly proclaim that there are no maga in my life more than required by various pre-existing obligation, Luigi Mangione will be remembered as a folk hero, Trump will one day be shown to be ALL through the Epstein files in all the worst ways (as will many Dems and they should all be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law), and most Democratic leadership is 100% owned by the oligarchy too, as evidenced by things such as their support of Israeli genocide and how much more urgently they are fighting Mamdani than they are Trump in many cases.

I can tell you with near certainty there’s a backup somewhere of the pre-exodus database with all those deleted accounts and comments intact.

Thanks, been reading those words from various commenters, in various contexts, in a browser window on my Linux desktop, for longer than some people at Lemmy have probably been alive. But it’s always nice to hear familiar phrases again.

No one remembers how vulnerable windows server and windows desktop OS’s were before they revamped updates?

I remember how much it sucked when ignorant users ignored updates forever and MS didn’t really seem to give much of a shit about security anyway, yes.

Nowadays MS is a great choice if you want to borrow a computer that someone else controls. Less so if you want a computer that is actually yours.

Jesus. How is this thing still a thing? (I guess that’s also part of the answer to my prior question…)

Thank you very much! I mentioned it to my oldest son (who is now in his twenties) a couple years ago because my youngest son (who is autistic) seemed like he might be interested in the game. He very emphatically said it wasn’t really what it looked like and that he would not recommend it. I didn’t ask for more details, but I guess I get it!

Can someone give me the out-of-the-loop on Roblox?

I understand that it’s an online gaming platform where there have been accusations of things being unsafe for kids. While bad, this is something that has happened before. Anything specific here that this is in the news so much, or just that it’s the biggest most current example?

Yes but the risk calculation either includes the climate change related statistics or it doesn’t.

If it does, then it indicates that insurance companies see this risk as valid and factual.

No insurance company would make decisions based on paying out against risk they didn’t believe existed. That’s the whole point of calculating risk.

On nerdy sites like Lemmy people tend to fawn over Google and they can do no wrong
