Yay Europe! Genuinely happy for you folks.

Maybe someday we’ll have freedom and privacy in the US :’)

I mean, that’s also pretty awesome that there’s decent regulations as part of it(at least nominally, I don’t live there so can’t say for certain), but it seems to be primarily a banking/lending thing similar to in the US which is what a lot of jingoistic fearmongering types either completely miss or purposely ignore.

It’s decidedly not a surveillance thing, which is the funny part.

Per Wikipedia:

The program first emerged in the early 2000s, inspired by the credit scoring systems in other countries.

It’s almost the same thing but a different name, and is nationalized to a state system instead of like 3 or 4 companies lmao

Right wingers fear the word “social” for some reason ig

I’d guess Cajun English? Since it has so much French influence and also is its own distinct dialect with unique origins.

This is precisely why oligarchs are trying to clamp down on these tools.

It’s not for “the children.” It’s for their protection, or so they think.

Bruh what

Yeah no I’m gonna step in and fully agree with you on the statement of “psychopaths shouldn’t be allowed to enact destruction on civilians.”

IDF, USA (and all its three letter agencies), whatever authoritarian fuckbags murdered Iranian protestors, etc.

It’s all bad. If these genocidal people who choose to reject their humanity have an axe to grind, they should be forced to do so amongst themselves.

Hiding behind bombs and armies is bullshit. Make the “leaders” go face to face, with little more than a rusty machete and keep the rest of the world’s people out of it.

Endeavour was the one I actually installed to my drive some years ago after spinning up a handful of “classic” recommended distros in a VM (Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, etc).

It was recommended to me by a close family member who had used Linux for a while, but we’re both in IT/tech.

My SO, on the other hand, while quite intelligent and capable of troubleshooting absolutely detests having to touch the CLI or open their PC tower.

It heavily depends on the end user and what they want to do, not just what they’re capable of. Frustration isn’t limited to incapability.

AI Agent = LLM, or fancy autocorrect chatbot

Lands PRs = is successful with pull requests: successfully gets generated code added to software projects.

OSS Projects: Open Source Software. Software that has its code publicly available.

Targets Maintainers: seeks out humans who write and regularly update the original code

Via Cold Outreach: relentlessly spams without prior network connections. Basically plays a digital door-to-door sales technique, using a numbers game of 100 “no”s to 1 “yes.”

Quick translate: Slop bot harasses human programmers into allowing poorly generated/formatted code into important software projects.

Why should I worried about what seemed like novel mocap-type technology when I live in a surveillance state dystopian hellscape where roves of masked racist invaders are ripping my neighbors off the street, and the tech companies here are gleefully enabling and profiting off it?

Completely irrelevant but I hear that in Bender’s voice every time

21st century banana republics. When can we have this bastard’s head in a basket?

Good on those parents for advocating for their kids’ wishes!

When even the students are stressed and overwhelmed by the enshittification, that should be a glaring sign that something has to change. Humans need a break from the always-on, endless stream of digital information, especially that young.

Probably because they’re loaded with everything-resistant diseases.

Dismember them and toss them into the deepest parts of the ocean though, for sure

All good. From my non-professional perspective so far it mostly looks like real-time-kit is pretty active, which seems to be primarily for enabling audio.

Are you having issues with audio? Or are you maybe having trouble with GOG after you start it?

How new are you to Linux?* /gen

Have you checked the output of, say, “journalctl -b -2”? This would give you a system log of messages that go back to two boot sessions ago and normally show you what happened just before that first shutdown.

This could be drivers, background processes, hardware, no way to know without starting by looking at logs. Hell, I’ve had a monitor crash out my system multiple times and I wouldn’t have ever guessed if I didn’t check my logs and dmesg output.

It isn’t “fuck the [imperialist/authoritarian nation] government and its enforcers” for most people?

I love this little artist with my whole soul and refuse to be mean to them 💔

I’m dumb idk which word was changed

Clearly the grown, armed Gravy Gestapo are in imminent danger from someone who barely just learned to walk /s

This is blatant terrorism and specifically targeting those who can’t fight back or easily defend themselves.

May these pigs rot in piss for what they’ve done to our neighbors and community members.

I have the 2DSXL, and have played about half of those. I was just sad it was primarily limited to mostly online (Pushmo’s servers are dead) and first-party titles. I was a GBA/DS kid so expected wider variety beyond that.

It’s a fantastic little device for modding though!
