(kinda replying to your the machines have won replies)

there are no ‘machines’ that will ‘win’ anything… the only way ‘ai can win’ is by normalising it, by forgetting the costs (environmental and human) of using it, as well as those who benefit from it’s use (the people who stand to win something).

what you’re calling for is exactly that (being complacant about it) and it’s probably why people get upset…?

p.s. i do agree that we should approach each other with more love and understanding and probably inform more than shame. i’m truly believe most people are just lazy or curious, not actively malicious.

btw, the way you keep calling everyone a peasent is really not helping your case imho xD

errm, no thank you mr mobilek? xD

what would happen is people would figure out it’s bs xD

i meeean… last name checks out?

the “you have reached your quota limit” at the end is just such a cherry on top xD

TIL

guess i just never botheres to try cos config change & rebuild wasn’t much more of a hassle :shrugs:

just for clarity: you can modify stuff like hosts or cron jobs but it’d get overwritten iirc? you can also make the change in the config and have it persist (reproducibility being the main point, not disallowing you to edit your files)

well if it makes you feel better you just made me man history xD

i just cat grep .bash_history lol

but this does sound more convenient xD

but wait, it gets even more cyberpunk: the security cam footage is on streamable! :o https://streamable.com/2e8p4v

welp, looks like you don’t use python virtualenvs… well i guess jokes on you all your shit is probably broken now (and as a bonus, that’s probably a big part of the donwload size as well) :p

the one thing that most federated platforms have over centralised structures is the possibility to migrate out of your current shitty fiefdom and the fact that the actual code is open source, so a community can make the choices about the possibilities the technology provides (which is mostly usually better than whatever a for profit company is “forced” into), whereas a centralised platform like bluesky can just ruin the codebase and keep it’s users hostage… which after all is one of the key factors to enshitification

edit: i do agree on your other points though, social networks are bound to turn into bubbles and we’ve already seen defederation based on petty squabbles :shrugs:

a bachelor of latte arts? xD

electron has entered the room

tbf it probably is still significantly less that windows, i was being a bit facetious…but it’s still at like 1-1,5gb idling on a fresh boot (this is the whole DE, not just cinnamon)…

i did a fresh install with mate on an old machine though and it was a lot less (the usual 500mb or something) can’t see anything suspicious running though - and yes I did check without any stuff running in the background like steam which is also stupidly intensive with their webkit nonsense

does it still use the same amount of ram as windows? :/

i was going to mention some books too but then i saw the pink floyd answer and realised that would be far more likely to not end up sitting on a shelf :(

wololooooo

yeh plus old should be specified probably… i got an x230 for this reason, changed 2 screens and both hdmi outs are dead (second one being on the dock)

very sad about that, it even has an easy access hdd drawer :(
