How exactly do you think stuff around you works? Machine learning is everywhere gobbling up massive swaths of data wherever possible. Insurances, work shift planning, goddamn Spotify. All are using ML and have for years. To think you can just stay away from those Models is ridiculous.

Accessibility is “no reason”?! I never called someone ableist before, but… gosh, you’re coming close.

The visually impaired will certainly agree that not helping them with a local AI model is a sacrifice worth being made for the purely moral stance of “no AI at all”.
/s obviously

Glad I could help :)

Okay, there will be people disagreeing with me, but I can’t let a new user be misled by us nerds talking distros all day.

So, you want to choose a distro because you expect it to do things differently than your current one? Thing is: Ultimately, they (mostly) don’t differ that much, really. There are extremely few things one distro can do that you cannot do in any other distro. Yes, some files will be in different places, they might use special versions for some packages (which often can be overridden) or use older and more stable versions of stuff (Debian). Yet, in the end, they are all the same OS. They all use the same window managers, the same kernels, the same drivers (mostly), the same logic behind many things. Another distro only feels really different, when you know a lot about the ins and outs of Linux systems. If you don’t, the difference will often be that you have to type either “pacman” or “apt”, or either change /etc/program.conf or /etc/program.d/foo.conf.

Play with the distro you already have and like. You ain’t missing anything. Just don’t get the wrong idea that Distros are like windows: monolithic monsters that can’t be really changed. Like mint but want Gnome as window manager? Go for it. Dislike the way the standard terminal software does colors? Get another one. Don’t like how Program X does some GUI thing? There will almost always an alternative that just plugs into your system exactly as the preinstalled one did.

A distribution is basically just a pre-selection of packages that can be changed at will. Hell, you could in theory get pacman on Debian or Apt on Arch. I don’t know why you’d want to, but in theory you could.

Don’t waste your time reinstalling your machine. Play with the things you already have!

Those malicious coders are too sly for that. Some write “Sh1t” to throw grep off, others even do a “B3g1n”… They are always one step ahead!

I’d expect them to properly comment it with “#-------Begin malicious removed--------”.
COMMENT YOUR CODE, PEOPLE!

Added an usb drive by its /dev/sd** identifier to fstab without the nofail option. Wanted to do a quick reboot for something I can’t remember, then copy the files over to the USB drive, since I’d need them on the next day and… no boot. The reboot had assigned another name to the drive (/dev/sdb instead of /dev/sdc or something) and automount wouldn’t skip it because nofail was missing. In the middle of the night, with files I required right the next morning. Fun times.

That, again, is not how governments work.
What you depict is how companies work: You save amount X on something, so there are X moneys left to invest in something.
Governments work with separated and highly regulated budgets. That is sometimes bullremoved, but sometimes necessary to make sure government aids are spent fairly, for example. So: You save amount X on something, you aren’t allowed to just give this amount to someone. There has to be either a program, a law, or (most often) an entirely different budget somewhere else that this someone is allowed to receive.

So the “trade-off” logic cannot be fulfilled by governments, and it shouldn’t be. Think about the myriad of bullremoved, money would just be dumped into by the government if this wasn’t the case. On top of the myriad of bullremoved that already made it through the nets, that is.

That’s not how governments work

There is a conveniently omitted difference here. When doing learning exercises, the result is almost irrelevant. The way towards said result is what matters. So if you put a function into a calculator and learn that the result is X1/2=3π², you have really gained nothing. What about text creation have you learned when you let an AI spew out some text “from a single prompt”?

Okay, let me rephrase that: is it just me or is the application of these terms typical US-centric? “Liberals” in Germany are definitely not the opposite of conservatives. Quite the contrary. The liberals are the go-to ally for the conservatives to form governments here.

Is it just me or are those the typical US-centric terms! If so, I’d trust those numbers even less than I already do because they moved the timespans between the graphs.

Well, perhaps the UK has a more… Traditional liberalism. One that sees the new king as a Young (albeit a tad geriatric) whippersnapper, you know? A liberalism that tries to conserve the olden times.

I should found xxxistan.

Nothing like a foreigner spouting US centrism trying to explain to me how my country, my values and my culture work.

That is the most american logic I’ve read all week. Nothing of this makes a sliver of sense to a German. Absolutely none. The whole communism is so evil it has to be banned spiel is absolutely and purely American these days. There is absolutely nothing that qualifies Germany as an example because there is no grounds or will to publicly ban something like this at all. It’s like saying “don’t register a T-Shirt-shop about rivers as me.cong in the US, amirite?” And “comrade” in German would be “Genosse” which is related to the DDR, so…what exactly are you saying?

Why would Germany of all places ban a shop selling Che Guevara merch?

Had the issue with the ignore flag missing literally a week ago. I mounted the HDD to troubleshoot it, ended up kicking the bucket, couldn’t read any partitions from it anymore, but I had the Partuuid in fstab. Had to plug the main drive of the system into another one to fix fstab…

You could use kbin which can serve and display both varieties just fine.
