  • Only tailscale fpr vpn and backblaze for backup

  • Those of you who install non-google-play apps (aka: sideloading), what's your gameplan for the upcoming Google restrictions on Sideloading?

  • Probably grapheneos until it dies (thanks Google) then 2 phones, a cheap stock one at home shutdown and no sim, only for critical services that are exclusively app based, and a Linux phone as my main.

  • Just why?? Nature has made H₂O perfect the way it is! I don't want an HxO! How would that even work?? Would it be ionized? I will literally commit murder if I see one of those.

  • I think that is their point... That LLMs are being rushed into the medical field when they are mostly making statistical predictions for medical answers and not actually reasoning.

  • The US has basically been running on the hopes that any president elected would be sane/smart enough to not abuse every stupid decision made by his predecessors. Guess what idiots? Making stupid decisions has stupid consequences, and the fondling father is speed running them before he croaks in a few months.

  • Booo! Go back to being perplexed or something!

  • is there any legitimate use of blockchains?

    Jump

  • Nothing is perfect, but once a blockchain network is big enough it becomes near impossible to overtake.

    Maybe currently, if the US government really wants to, they could dedicate a few trillion dollars to take over the bitcoin network. But it would make no sense to put that much effort into what would be mostly pointless. And if bitcoin ever reaches a point where it is a full on threat to the dollar then it's network would probably be too big for any nation to overtake alone.

    So you are not wrong in theory, but in practice it is near impossible.

  • Like most of the tech bro industry, they take something with real value, completely misunderstand it, creates fake value, pumps.

    LLMs are awesome, but the current AI industry is terrible and completely misses the actual value of LLMs.

    NFTs are actually a great way to digitally prove ownership, basically the future of digital ownership certificates.

    Crypto is a way to make money for the people by the people, and not for the rich, by the rich, through the people.

    Blockchain is the core idea that makes crypto and NFTs possible. You can think of it as a decentralized DB, it's useful because it means that the majority controls the data and not a centralized authority.

    Imagine that the government decided to print a million dollars and give it to some politician, it's small enough to not be noticed by the market, but it still devalues the money. They could only do it because they own the money management system. In Blockchain each transaction is confirmed by external parties (often multiple ones) and it has to align with the already existing db (which everyone has a copy of) so in that scenario if the government tries to "print" money it will be conflicting with the existing db and it will not be accepted, so they will have to either continue with an incompatible db (making it as worthless as monopoly money) or cancel the transactions by realigning with the common db.

    Blockchain is not meant to be a database like the ones in web servers, it is meant to be a database for a consensus of users.

  • This implies that my code lives outside of modern tech. I write pure assembly

  • I have an Nvidia GPU, can I game on Linux?

    Jump

  • Simple answer: Yes!

    Not so simple: Yes, but nvidia hates linux and their proprietary drivers can cause issues. Generally (especially on stable distros) everything is stable and fine.

  • Careful! This is very dangerous, you should instead do 

     
        
sudo chown -R user:user /*

    Where "user" is your username, and then do

     
        
chmod -R 770 /*

    This will make sure that only your user has all the access!

    (Don't do this)

  • I would say that while in the US this is very accurate, it is important to understand that it is not inherently a capitalism problem, but rather an abuse of human nature and hard times by those who have something to gain (ideals, money, power, joy, etc)
