  • What's the solution to dealing with the ineveitable flood of scammers using AI to rob your grandparents?

    Jump

  • The problem with this is that they would have to be suspicious in the first place to ask for it. If they are already suspicious then the scam will likely fail anyway, they tend to only really work when the assumption of who they are exists and they get that by raising stress levels by claiming some kind of emergency.

  • what debian compatible IRC client should I use now that hexchat is dead?

    Jump

  • I use Quassel, it's been a few years since any major updates but it still works great. I like that it has a server+client model that functions like a bouncer so you can move between machines without reconnecting to networks. It also allows all the configuration from the client's GUI so you don't have to remember commands to change anything.

  • What do you think: should all government software be open source?

    Jump

  • I think any software the government funds the creation and maintenance of should be open source, but not all software government workers use should have to be. Lots of niche applications out there that wouldn't be worth the cost to rewrite or retrain a handful of users.

  • What is the most obscure fact you know?

    Jump

  • What prevailing theory in scientific circles do you think is likely to be replaced with a new understanding by 2050?

    Jump

  • But what about the theory of the large throwing stone that states those tasty radiated cockroaches are my dinner and not yours?

  • [SOLVED] how come yt-dlp on a terminal returns bash: yt-dlp: command not found even though I installed it with wget? debian 13

    Jump

  • um, isn't it easier to just:sudo apt install yt-dlpyt-dlp -U

  • Can we talk about Anathem?

    Jump

  • I've read it twice and enjoyed it both times. It has some slow parts for sure, especially at the start, but it does setup the framework for how the characters view the outside world which I find really fascinating.

    *Edit:I think it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking of them as monks who only follow faith and prohibit secular technology but the whole point is that they are enclaves of philosophers and mathematicians. It's like refusing to use a calculator in order to train your mind to better work with numbers. If you did that you wouldn't be confused by finally using a calculator, its use would be simple and obvious.

  • What distro do you game on?

    Jump

  • yeah, back when I used nvidia I had to run their driver installer or nothing would work right, and of course any little system update would bork everything until I ran the installer again. Thankfully everything with AMD just works now.

  • What distro do you game on?

    Jump

  • Debian. It wont win any awards for fastest release cycles but it's rock stable with great support for my Ryzen 2700 and 6700xt.

  • Gaming on Linux hasn't been great so far...

    Jump

  • But what are the odds of having these issues? It's a bit disingenuous to tell a large audience that this is what they can expect if the reality is the problems may only effect one in a thousand.

  • What is your absolute favourite track from a video game?

    Jump

  • A classic! I do also love Simon Swerwer's work on the official steam DF OST

  • how is linux for gamers?

    Jump

  • To clarify there are several very popular online games with anti-cheat that will never work BUT there are also a ton of other multiplayer games that do work great. You aren't going to be stuck in single-player only moving to Linux, you'll just miss out on a handful of popular competitive games.

  • Do you consider Pepe the frog to be hate speech?

    Jump

  • The only problem with this line of thinking is that it empowers bigots to continue to subvert any character or symbol they choose.I'd rather see those symbols used more often in ways that fight bigotry than to give in to that manipulation.

  • Love this

    Jump

  • Given that they haven't exactly been bred for the highest intelligence I'd say a car going by on a rural road is still notable for them.

  • What movie did you see too young that still haunts you to this day?

    Jump

  • I was too young when I first saw this too. (I was in my 20s)

  • It's weird how we say "go to sleep" as if sleep is a place

    Jump

  • If you have trouble going to sleep then try falling asleep instead.

  • Someone should make an anticapitalist Dexter. A serial killer who kills evil rich people.

    Jump

  • Even if you did find some way to fund and produce it, what corporate media empire is going to allow it on their network where more than a handful of people would ever see it?

  • Cold water was probably less refreshing for early humans due to most cold water likely only being available during colder weather.

    Jump

  • You might only have ice-cold water during the spring if you're near a river that just flowed down from the mountains but even most well water is going to be much cooler than surface temperatures.

  • Why are you so happy?

    Jump

  • Ignorance is bliss?
