  • Leak confirms OpenAI is preparing ads on ChatGPT for public roll out

  • Speedrunning exists already, so you could just apply that philosophy to tech startups.

    At first, you’re good to your users. Once you have 10, you can start milking them with spyware and ads. This way, you’ll sacrifice the users in favor of the ad companies. Before the first quarter is over, you’re already milking the ad companies too. Once they get fed up with the ramped up prices, you can file for bankruptcy in record time!

  • What are mundane actions we get to do everyday with technology that would be a superpower to people from before say.. the 1600s?

    Jump

  • Having a compact energy storage. Coal was fine for steam engines, but gasoline, diesel and related fossil fuels were a game changer. Sure, they pollute, have destroyed our environment, cause various diseases and might even result in our extinction sooner rather than later, but hear me out.

    Liquid fuels made it possible to build and operate compact and light engines that provide an amazing amount of power. Also, the fuel lasts a long time compared to coal and wood. This means that we can transport items and people across the globe, visit distant places within a single day, and commute to work in places that have barely any infrastructure.

    All of this has transformed individual lives, large parts of the society and even the global economy. Imagine doing all that a hundred years before knowing how to build solar panels and batteries. That sort of global change was totally unimaginable in the 1600s.

    But seriously though, that change didn’t come for free, and it’s about time we stop relying on this shortcut. It was literally quick and dirty, so we really need to switch to something more sustainable. If only solar panels had been invented before oil…

  • You know, you are allowed to cheat in this test. Just write those numbers on your arm with a permanent marker or whatever. Get a fake tattoo, if you want.

  • UN General Assembly votes on draft resolution on torture - 20/11/2025

    Jump

  • That is a good point. I wonder what they are planning.

  • UN General Assembly votes on draft resolution on torture - 20/11/2025

    Jump

  • It’s a bit like asking: How many of you are currently torturing people or planning to do so in the near future? Even if you aren’t actively participating in such heinous crimes, but your best buddy is, and you don’t want to sever the relationship, that counts as well.

  • I like reading the stuff posted on !futurology@futurology.today, so I made an account on that instance. Didn’t think about anything else at that point.

  • United argues 'window seat' does not mean 'seat with a window'

    Jump

  • Try could also remove all the seats. People can sit on the floor or whatever. Just shove them in like cattle, and charge for window seats that have no windows or seats.

  • A Surprise Flu Variant Threw Off the Vaccine. Get Ready for a Brutal Winter

    Jump

  • It holds a pretty essential position in the world economy, so I would say yes.

    Once we’ve replaced it with renewable energy, it won’t be essential for the energy sector any more, but the chemical industry will still need some oil.

    Is YouTube showing you fake YouTube channels for your search results?

    Jump

  • That account seems to be posting once every hour, which is more cautious than what I’ve seen with some other bots. Some other accounts just sleep for a few months and then suddenly wake up to spam 10 posts within two hours.

    My perfect Linux setup is always just one more tweak away

    Jump

  • It’s a familiar feeling. It took many years for me to grow out of it. Eventually, you might get tired of it, like I did. In the meantime, though, keep on tweaking as long as you enjoy it.

    Nowadays, my systems have very few tweaks. A wallpaper for aesthetics, a few keyboard shortcuts for efficiency, and a coloured bash prompt for readability. Now that I think of it, these tweaks only address the things I really dislike. Looks like nowadays I can’t be bothered to tweak anything unless some issue drives me mad. 😃

  • Recommendations for a small used laptop

    Jump

  • Generally, I would recommend getting an enterprise laptop such as Lenovo T or X series, Dell Latitude, or HP EliteBook. In that order.

    Interestingly though, these models are supported by W11, because they’ve had various security features for years. If you want something specifically unsupported by W11, the selection is suddenly narrowed down to consumer-grade crapbooks. They should be cheap though, so might as well buy two while you’re at it.

  • Finally switched my fiancee to bazzite, fuck me was it a trial

  • OK, thanks.

    Based on those comments, it still sounds pretty rough. Are those the worst-case scenario, or should all Nvidia users expect that sort of struggle?

  • Finally switched my fiancee to bazzite, fuck me was it a trial

    Jump

  • Are you using FOSS divers or the proprietary ones? How about power management, suspend, wake up etc?

  • Finally switched my fiancee to bazzite, fuck me was it a trial

    Jump

  • Same. I’ve been avoiding NVIDIA for years now, and haven’t regretted it yet. However, some people say that NVIDIA divers are good now, but I have my doubts about it. Seeing posts like this one just reinforces my confirmation bias.

  • FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves

    Jump

  • In Cyberpunk, the NCPD is basically just another gang. More organized than the Valentinos or Tiger Claws, but pretty much the same by the end of the day.

    In real life though, ICE seems to be a lot like a gang too. Have they pivoted to drugs and violent extortion yet? You know, if you smuggle guns and slaves, you can make a lot of money?
