Imagine what she can accomplish in an echo chamber, though.

they say it’s worth it

Narrator: They did not.

because you probably don’t know how software is built.

Oh shit. Nevermind then.

What I’m hearing is: I can replace saying “I have a dumb little WordPress blog that no one reads” with "I host a part of the ‘Deep Net’.

Sweet.

I find it bizarre that people find these obvious cases to prove the tech is worthless. Like saying cars are worthless because they can’t go under water.

This reaction is because conmen are claiming that current generations of LLM technology are going to remove our need for experts and scientists.

We’re not demanding submersible cars, we’re just laughing about the people paying top dollar for the lastest electric car while plannig an ocean cruise.

I’m confident that there’s going to be a great deal of broken… everything…built with AI “assistance” during the next decade.

If I recall correctly, it has been released for moile on and off as experimental builds. Last time I grabbed an APK, it wasn’t ready (as an editor - as a document reader it works fine).

Put any person who has zero computer experience in front of a windows computer or Linux computer and I doubt they would say the windows computer just works and the Linux one doesn’t.

I did this experiment on my own kids. They find Linux more usable, and find it hard to believe people tolerate Windows.

There’s also some indoctrination involved.

But they have access to both, and they prefer Linux. I think that the “Windows is genuinely easier” argument doesn’t hold any water anymore.

Sure, but it’s not quite the compelling argument it used to be.

Today, I’m not sitting here pining for old Linux software that stopped working. And the small amount of old windows software that did finally stop working actually works now only works on Linux with Wine.

That’s another of the decision points that finally switched to fully favoring Linux, for me, in the last decade.

There is such a law, but many of us feel that Microsoft has proven malice a few times, when it comes to open standards.

Linux Mint is so nice.

I would turn off “Secure Boot” in BIOS before doing the upgrade.

It officially works, but can throw in unnecessary challenges - and Mom probably isn’t traveling with national secrets next week anyway.

We can take action. We can grab the die that Joel McHale has tossed into the air.

Does anyone have any clue?

My best guess would be some relatively passive notification stealing focus.

As reddeadhead mentioned, there’s specific “don’t steal focus” settings. I’ve had good luck with them.

I remember those days, as well!

Did I miss something, or is a 12 year old in France now in (indefinite?) police custody for being curious online?
