Even if AIs weren’t inherently harmful, the companies that make them are. And by utilising, publicising, and integrating in your workflow their product you are pumping their value and giving them both more means and more reasons to fuck people over. And because making and selling an AI requires a giant mega corporation, there cannot be a free (as in freedom) alternative.

On top of this, the AI is actually harmful. First of all, they are building their value by stealing other people’s work. They also use psychological tricks to try to give you dependency, that’s why AIs are always overly cheerful, always complimenting questions, and why companies try to humanise the product, they do this to convince you to integrate their AI in your workflow, and once it’s done, your business becomes dependent on them, and that makes them money. And if that wasn’t enough, everything you tell the AI is both used to improve the AI, and to profile for advertising.

Best case: I become someone’s (mine) power fantasy and get a federal job

It’s digital audio, not analog, I doubt the GPU could ever be an issue. I suspect either there was a bug in the interaction between pipewire and the drivers (on one side or the other), or an update changed the default sampling rate of pipewire

Speaking only one language has nothing to do with this, there have always been subtitles.

YouTube does this so that one way or another they can say that more people use AI translations, and that shows investors there’s value in AI and Google gets more investments.

Laser printers are the best. You sacrifice the quality of dense pictures, but gain incomparable speed and reliability. It’s especially worth it if you print less often, because the ink dries up if you don’t print every once in a while and you end up buying new ink even though the cartridge is full, but the toner just sits there indefinitely.

You see, Italians hate their country, but at the same time think it’s the best country (right until they need to do some bureaucracy, then it’s the worst).

So they nationalisticaly defend it with words against other countries, but they wouldn’t actually put skin in the game.

“Ternary operator” means “operator that takes three things”, like unary and binary operators take one and two things.

In C there is an operator for conditional expressions (an ‘if’ that you can put inside expressions) and it looks like this condition ? trueBranch : falseBranch. It takes three expressions, so it’s a ternary operator.

Except it’s the only ternary operator in C (and most languages, if they have one at all), so instead of calling it something like “conditional operator”, they just call it “the ternary operator”

I’ll have you notice that there’s also a gigachad in the meme, not just Kirk

Admittedly this is a chat app, so there’s little to do. But still, it could stretch out a little bit more, maybe open the conversation info panel on the right

My name is uncommon enough that I can always pick my name everywhere, and when I can’t it means I forgot I had an account.

I have yet to read this, but. But the first part is like the internals of systemd, you won’t immediately need it.

If you want to make use of systemd, you can skip directly to where it explains unit files. You’ll soon see just how much it can do for you

The pine nuts are the seeds that are inside the pine cones. The pinecone being wooden clearly didn’t stop us from prying them apart and eating it’s content

People put pine nuts in salads all the time, and rodents do as well. It’s also one of the 5 ingredients of pesto.

And why the airplane?
