I’ve heard Fedora is looking to integrate AI into the OS.

While I hope they take the opportunity to think about this decision and do it wisely, I have little faith. Investors are foaming at the mouth for AI integration. It’s like, the noodles are definitely not done on this yet and investors want to have the first noodles to the market so the marching orders are for every two noodles you see throw one and see if it sticks. You end up with a kitchen with uncooked noodles all over the place and you’re slipping over them and it’s slowing you down and you’re running out of noodles in the pot so you have to add more and this makes it even harder to to find one of the more cooked noodles but the investors are whipping you to find the perfect noodle as they have a full erection and a crazed look in their eyes.

Sorry, got carried away.

Not every hallucination is generated by an LLM.

Honestly, I think this is awesome.

It’s not just Indian. There’s an Ethiopian church down the street, every sunday our block is full of Teslas, two of them are cyber trucks. So weird.

I’ve been saying this for a long time. We need to recognize it for what it is, attention rape, and reject it completely.

The junk mail you get in your mailbox should be illegal. I’ve tried contacting people to have them stop, but low and behold it’s USPS that’s responsible and there is no mechanism in place to stop it.

So many platforms now make you pay for their service and then show you ads with it. You pay to be advertised to. I mean the car is exactly what I’m talking about.

I honestly believe it’s a detriment to US culture, how saturated every environment is with advertising, people don’t even see it anymore, it’s “normal”, invisible.

Do not pay for a service that show you ads, I wouldn’t even use a service that relied on advertising. Use only paid services that do not advertise. Do not buy products that advertise to you.

showing an offensive attitude of superiority : proceeding from or characterized by arrogance (an attitude of superiority manifested in an overbearing manner or in presumptuous claims or assumptions)

I looked up sixty fouurrr a few days ago and was shocked to see 18 years ago.

That’s how I see it, almost exactly. I’m hated here but I stay because I feel a sense of responsibility.

I love jack in the box curly fries with their taco sauce.

1gbps symmetrical

I have 2 vcpu (host) for the pfsense vm, xeon e5-2667 3.2ghz, i see both cpu hit about 80% max during speed tests.

pfsense ce 2.7.2-RELEASE

my isp also does pppoe, i have a virtual pfsense, 1gbps up/down, it’s never been an issue for me. ive had this setup for maybe three years.

What kind of change is ever good for a small business these days? We watched them get wiped out during COVID lockdowns, and we don’t really say shit about it only a few years later. Is there any change that has caused a boom in small businesses because I can’t think of any. It’s almost like they’re not fit for this world. Not saying this is good or bad, not a doomer, just saying it like I sees it.

I understand tariffs are mostly bad unless applied skillfully, and maybe with some luck, but yes I think there can be pros, and the pros might he hard times.

It’s funny because I was saying the same thing basically in support of the tariffs and lemmy was unhappy with me.

You’re saying “there’s a reason reputable economists say”, as if there aren’t reputable economists also saying something else, like “tariffs are a tool and predicting impact is difficult if not impossible due to complexity”. So, whats the point in mentioning that “reputable economists say” unless you’re pandering to an appeal to authority. Economists are just people and can make mistakes, entire groups of people like “reputable economists” can have the wrong ideas at the same time, or collectively jump to conclusions. I don’t care what economists say, I care about why they say it and if it makes sense. Your point is “there’s a reason why” and you load this with “reputable”. How do you qualify reputable and what is the reason they say? Could they be wrong and if not, why is there an economy at all?

Engineers make mistakes all the time too. The idea that an engineer can’t be wrong about engineering and a layman can’t comprehend even intuitively understand engineering concepts is exactly what an appeal to authority is about.

I’m having a hard time connecting what you’re saying and my point. I also don’t really care what economists are saying, I don’t automatically assume economists are correct because they are economists. I understand tariffs are not good, which is why I said “ultimately”, and nothing that you have said yet has changed that opinion, but I am open. I didn’t even disagree with many of your statements I just didn’t see how they connect.

Google “byd china car sell at a loss” and “chicken tax”.

You will see price wars or the race to the bottom in the auto industry and you will see how tariffs on imported cars are one way we have protected domestic manufacturing.

Well the console example demonstrates long term payout strategies. Another example is in free to play games with microtransactions. You develop a game at a cost, you give it away for free, and you hope that it’s good enough to hook people and get them to spend on “hats”. It’s a lot of money up front to make more later.

This assumes the local product wasn’t already cost competitive. If they are close and you slap a tariff on the import that adds further incentive to pick local. Assuming local would capitalize on the added revenue via reinvestment/expansion, it would create jobs and more demand, may even make the product or services even more affordable.

I thought it was targetted but again in California its all items sold are taxed and some at a higher rate.
