I had done a few easier Linux installs on Raspberry Pis and VMs in the past, but when I decided I wanted to try using Linux as my daily driver on my desktop (dual-booted with Windows at the time) I decided to go with a manual Arch install using a guide and I would 100% recommend it if you’re trying to pick up Linux knowledge. It’s really not a difficult process to just follow step-by-step, but I looked up each command as they came up in the guide so I could try to understand what I was doing and why.

I don’t know what packages archinstall includes because I’ve never used it, but really the biggest thing for me learning was booting into a barebones Arch install. Looking into the different options for components and getting everything I needed setup and configured how I wanted was invaluable.

That being said, now that I know how, is that how I would choose to install it? Nah, I use the CachyOS installer now, but if I wanted stock Arch I’d probably use archinstall.

RDP does not fill the same role as Teamviewer at all. The M$ alternatives would be Quick Assist or the older MSRA.

America didn’t drop anything because they weren’t saying it in the first place, the Soviets were. America also aren’t the ones that coined a new phrase for it, British royalists were, who probably had no knowledge of the Russian phrase. All of this was explained in the article you linked.

1.it’s a euphemism for “And You Are Lynching Negroes” - that’s literally what people used to say instead of whataboutism

lol who do you think was saying this, and how is “whataboutism” in any way of a euphemism for it? Did you even bother to read the article you linked?

I also take money from possible fascists because I need it to survive. It’s called having a job.

Am I missing something in this article? I’m not defending either company, but it doesn’t seem like they actually have any evidence to confirm either is doing this.

The world’s top two AI startups are ignoring requests by media publishers to stop scraping their web content for free model training data, Business Insider has learned.

It claims this, but then they say this about the source of this info:

TollBit, a startup aiming to broker paid licensing deals between publishers and AI companies, found several AI companies are acting in this way and informed certain large publishers in a Friday letter, which was reported earlier by Reuters. The letter did not include the names of any of the AI companies accused of skirting the rule.

So their source doesn’t actually say which companies are doing this, but then they jump straight into this:

AI companies, including OpenAI and Anthropic, are simply choosing to “bypass” robots.txt in order to retrieve or scrape all of the content from a given website or page.

So they’re just concluding that based on nothing and reporting it as fact?

That I’m not sure of. My proxmox host is headless and none of my containers have a GUI so I haven’t tried.

You can also pass the GPU to multiple LXCs that will share it vs it being tied to a single VM. I use VMs as little as possible in Proxmox these days.

You are both speculating about what triggered the lawsuit because the only people that know for sure what triggered the lawsuit are the publishers and they aren’t talking.

If all public libraries are using CDL and the publishers have only sued IA, who flagrantly violated CDL, and they sued them only 2 months after they started violating the CDL, then that certainly seems like a very possible factor in the lawsuit, right?

Visual discomfort because it looks like an slightly older app? What kind of issue is that???

You’ve met an iOS user.

Exactly, why didn’t they just ask Lynn Conway for her preference when writing the article?

Absolutely, if it was anything I needed or even really wanted to be sure was reliably available I’d never put it on a free VPS.

Now, something trivial like this that just requires installing wireguard and nginx, copying over some configs, and changing a DNS record? Hard to beat free.

I know everyone loves to shit on Oracle, but a free-tier Oracle VPS would solve this.

Or if you want something decent pay for a cheap VPS.

What makes the internet archive well-equipped for that? They have money from donations? Donations that were more than likely intended for preserving the archive, and not facilitating book piracy in an obviously illegal way that now requires them to piss those donations away in legal fees?

Then I’d have grounds to sue you for stealing my likeness, just like Crispin Glover did in the example I just gave.

Are you under the impression that’s what happened here? It isn’t. The voice is clearly not Scarlet Johansson’s, and she doesn’t have any kind of ownership over the concept of an AI in your phone using an upbeat woman’s voice to speak to you.

You own the pile of money you earned for the role you played in someone else’s creative project.

This isn’t back to the future 2 making a Crispin Glover face mask and putting it on an extra, its using a woman for a voice acting role for an AI speaking from your phone, and somehow that’s stealing from a movie with the same concept, but not stealing from the actual phone AIs voiced by women that existed before the movie.

Having a talking woman in your phone is not stealing Scarlet Johansson’s likeness, even if they sound somewhat similar. US copyright law is already ridiculous, and you want to make it even more bullshit?

By that logic her role in Her was already stealing the voice actor for Siri’s likeness, and she should have sued for that too.

You think celebrities need to consent to someone that sounds similar to them getting work? That’s insane.

And other means of preventing it like pixel shift and refresh. Time will tell how long the current generation lasts but it’s only going to get more and more easily mitigated.

I mean that’s not inherently bad, what you do with that data could be though.
