I gave up on Reddit when they killed the 3rd party apps. Those were the only things that made it usable for me, left a bad taste in my mouth. Its never going to get better. The best it can do is not get worse, and that is not likely.

Music stores still exist. Many of them have setups that let you listen to clips from new albums as well. You can also buy secondhand albums at thrift stores and pawn shops, or trade with others. Friends might mention a band they enjoy, or y

There's also an interesting side effect of owning limited media that streaming advocates overlook. When you own 3 albums, you'll listen to them more often. You will put more effort into memorizing them. You'll listen to the t

Isn't it weird that every opponent to ID verification screamed at the top of their lungs the whole time that this would cause a massive privacy breach and would be used by bad actors to defraud the public, steal their identity, and by

The want for AGI is for the computer to take over the tasks that have plagued mankind since the dawn of time. Resource management, construction work, guidance and planning. Solving the truly intractable problems is the goal of AGI. Right no

I'm native, and my ancestors were called "dog soldiers" because we would bring dogs with us to war, and when rations got a little tight we would throw fido into the pot. Eating dog is generally considered abominable when you

You know, I've always had one question about "cleanroom" work. The person in the cleanroom knows what the output is supposed to be, so how clean is the cleanroom really? For instance, if I said I wanted to write a sorting alg

And libreoffice has some really useful and easy to use tools for document manipulation and creation hiding in the background.

It is somewhat interesting that the version of morality an individual possesses always feels to that individual as an absolute. "Of course it's wrong to beat your wife!" says the person who beats their children in a society t

I believe in the trickle down theory of blame for corporate malfeasance. Starting with the CEOs and VPs and C-level executives and working down until the cancer is removed is, in my opinion, the only way to cure the issue.

I hope this comes to more states soon. It's typically only 800 watts max but once the initial device is in it keeps chipping away at your power bills, and in most areas that could save around a dollar a day for decades in exchange for

It's honestly shocking how many people have already separated companies from the people that run them. "It's okay that they did evil, they had to! It's for profit!" Take a step out of the cave and look around, it&#x

Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a hypothetical type of artificial intelligence that matches or surpasses human capabilities across virtually all cognitive tasks I am saying that that without sentience, AGI will not happen, and that

I wonder if this is tied to how trauma survivors can exhibit excessive sleep as part of their coping mechanism? Mayhaps the brain is literally attempting to sever the memories from its consciousness.

Exactly. It is reasonable to believe that AGI will never be built on unchanging data, no matter how many times you iterate over it. Computers can and probably do already contain essentially all human knowledge, but without a continuous wave

Rather than calling it a Nazi app, it's more apt to say it's a Corporate Oligarchy app.

I mean, it makes sense since the bail bondsmen have business licenses and likely some form of insurance and credentialing with the courts to cover the differences. All the court really cares about is if someone is liable/responsible&#x

idk. I can imagine them getting close, but there will always be some part of me that knows that if the artist were making that song they might have chosen something different, that it's not them. I don't want to hear Linger-er by

Even that doesn't mean that the patty is JUST beef. Thanks to legalese, the only thing a claim like that would guarantee is that the beef portion of the hamburger patty is "100% PURE ALL-AMERICAN BEEF". It could be 99% filler

There's a LTT video that came out recently that showed Linux using 4-6gb less in equivalent use cases across the board, if that is helpful.

Ok, but if you could time travel in the 4th dimension while remaining static in the third, you could do some really cool things assuming you survived the initial testing. Sell your services as a space launch platform. It should be trivial t

CachyOS was using 3.25gb of ram while streaming video at 4k on my system. My Windows work PC is currently using 28.2 gigs to have outlook, teams and 6 browser tabs open.
