Sucks to suck

I left the house just for you

The fact that screenshots have the same artifact suggests it’s an issue within the GTK or GNOME framework. I would think if it was an issue with the GPU or drivers the screenshot would probably look normal or at least glitched in a different way.

The West never had it in the first place. The Red Scare matched and even surpassed any anticapitalist speech suppression in the USSR yet it was hailed as the West “defending” its “freedoms” from the totalitarian communist ideology.

As far as I know when you download a dmg, the OS checks its signatures against Apple’s registry and only allows installation if it’s approved. The developer would have submitted the app to Apple (for like $100) for them to inspect even if it’s not on the “official” app store.

Not a Mac user so please call me out if I’m just talking out my ass.

You wanna discuss drone warfare against the biggest electronics manufacturer in the world?

He would unironically fall for a scam call pretending to be Modi.

Google doesn’t fucking work anymore. We’re back to directly asking people being both the fastest and most reliable way to get information.

There was a tiny window when you could actually get good search results with a natural language question, but that’s long gone and the “AI” features have only made it worse.

True.

Also Threshold.

Possibly, but personally, I choose to enjoy discussing with humans rather than worry about my random pointless discussions being used to train AI. I refuse to be less human because of AI.

People ask for media recommendations in this community all the time, it’s one of the most common things to ask.

The context of “physical or emotional protection” heavily implies an open ended question to which the OP expected people to respond with media titles fitting their description. If they were trying to remember a movie they would probably describe the movie instead of clarifying the scope of their description.

Also, maybe just downvote and move on instead of snarkily saying they should have asked AI instead.

Not a movie but Star Trek Voyager might be something you’ll enjoy?

It’s pretty clearly meant to be “Can you recommend a movie with a female lead that protects a weak adult male?” With the clarification of “physical or emotional protection”

Lemmy: Fuck you if you use AI

Also Lemmy: Fuck you for asking actual people questions I’ve arbitrarily decided you should have asked AI instead

Urban planning. Being able to walk or take transit to all your errands gets taken for granted until you move to a suburban asphalt desert.

DO NOT download and install random programs from the internet. Not a deb/rpm file, not an elf binary, not an install script, nothing. Use your package manager or desktop environment’s app store. At most use flatpak or snap packages.

Linux gets its reputation for not getting malware from the same place Mac does: It has a managed app repository where you get all your software from. Difference is Mac doesn’t let you install arbitrary programs at all, while Linux expects you to know better than to do that. Someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing downloading Linux programs from random websites will inevitably hit one of the super rare Linux malware in the wild.

Even ignoring security issues, running an install script even from a reputable open source project’s website can open you up to package dependency hell. And if you ever need to upgrade or modify it, you’re in for a rough time because none of the existing tools built into your distro will help you. It’s even worse than Windows when this happens because Windows at least expects for things like this to happen (because everything comes in its own installer and handles updates separately) and has UX elements to help non tech savvy users deal with their mess of apps, Linux expects anyone bypassing the normal package manager to know what they’re doing and if you don’t, it won’t be a good day for you.

Wait until you hear about the proprietary microcode backdoors in Intel and AMD processors.

You’re the one who brought God into this.

A cute water cistern.

the concept of “punishment” is something that should be left to God

If a Christian kills an atheist child, the child goes to hell and the Christian can just “repent” and go to heaven.

God is not just.

Also, by this logic, it literally doesn’t matter to the Christian whether he is executed or not because he’s going to heaven anyway, because God doesn’t actually give a shit whether you’re good or evil, just whether you think he’s actually God. So why should the rest of us hellbound mortals have to deal with him for the rest of his natural life?
