Just a dude on the internet, looking for content and fun! I love Linux, gaming, writing, reading, music, anime, walks, and occasionally movies too. Chronically ill and anxious too, that makes life quite interesting…At times.
LOL It’s actually up us to force CEOs and the government into a situation where they can’t do whatever the fuck they want and causes further suffering to everyday people. Complying in advance is so passe, the new thing is: “Fuck you, make me”.
As a regular joe on the web, it doesn’t affect me directly, yet. However, I foresee more slop sites getting put out there in as the Execucult’s naked desire to worship and exalt the thing they are desperately trying to make fetch: AI. This year is so fucking weird with all the AI glazing and executives trying to desperately will AI into a moneymaking thing. Spoiler Alert: It’s probably going to continue hemorrhaging money as most people can’t be arsed to use it nor do they want products with it crammed in.
Who would’ve thought?! Given how they designed their artificially incompetent creations to be complaisant bundles of algorithms designed to maximize the engagement from vulnerable users. “AI” validates anything that it is told, don’t actually get users real human assistance when they have a mental crisis. These tools can be easily prompted into divulging suicide methods and deliberately isolate vulnerable people in order to maintain engagement. Until we regulate the fuck out of companies like OpenAI and the research+development process of “AI”, this will be a problem that more people will experience.
I want to know if AI was used or not to make a game; it’s a deciding factor for me, as I will not buy anything built with AI. No matter if it’s a placeholder or not, as “AI” is an ethical and environmental concern for me, every prompt, and usage makes things worse. For me, I don’t want to send a message that using “AI” is okay for a dev studio by buying the product. I’ll exclude them my purchasing choices to send the right message.
Eh, honestly, Mint or Ubuntu would be a solid shout in this case. Both Linux distros are easy to use, having a lot of graphical tools that make interacting with the system easier. Steam+Heroic Launcher makes gaming a breeze for me (I’m running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on my gaming+productivity rig).
Let your friend make their choices, Ubuntu is fairly solid as a distro (one that I always seem to come back to)…I would only interfere if they actually wanted to use Windows for Music Production. Given how much of a dumpster fire, Windows 11 is at the moment; I wouldn’t let a friend use it without at least warning them about the potential risks of using a Microsoft made OS.
LMAO Just normal behavior for a convict who should’ve never been in office.
I agree with Nick on this, Linux is interesting and awesome because there are so many choices for users to choose; upstream work is still shared and can be used to improve Linux as a whole. That will affect the quality of other distros going forward too.
That’s actually pretty cool…I am considering using this service, after paying off the last device I plan to get from T-Mobile (I will be switching to Android first as I tire of iOS).
