Wow, all very insightful, thanks for taking the time write this!

Do you have any recommended sources to read more about this topic / research? I'd love to learn more!

Thank you for the response!! I will definitely give it a go sometime!

Just wanted to thank you both for this discourse! As somebody who's interested in AI but totally ignorant to how the hell it works, I found this conversation very helpful! I would say you both have good points. Happy days to you both! ๐Ÿ™‚

Wow, Qubes seems pretty badass! Do you run it? How heavy is it? (Like, how beefy a PC do ya need for decent performance?) How intuitive do you find the experience, from your perspective? ๐Ÿ™‚

What the shit - this is how I learn 'cd' without parameters takes you home?!?!

The amount of times my dumb ass has typed "cd ~/." Or something stupid instead of a simple cd... Gaht dang

Honestly though, with this many different claims from such separate entities, I get the feeling there's some evil lurking within at least some core (leader)ship that's probably linked to all this negative coverage?

More directly, Linus kinda acts like a bit of a shit pretty frequently - between a bit of overconfidence that comes off through his general demeanor, and directly calling Steve autistic (allegedly) and definitely using the word 'retarded' as a derogatory (present in the text thread Steve posted), I'd say its pretty clear where the problem lies.

LMG would be a whole lot better off without that L stuck on the front of their name

Idahoan checking in here. Yeah, Confederate flags were a constant sight throughout my time living there (born and raised, just emigrated at 25yo)

Not who you asked the question to, but I emigrated as well. We are very fortunate to have her mother's side of the family here, so we're living with them at the moment.

Sorting through all our life's possessions and being forced to answer yes or no to 'do we try to move this to our new home overseas' was pretty tough.

The most challenging part was selling the house... We are still sitting on that, sadly. We have a great realtor (I hope), but currently we're jobless and mortgage every month is gouging into our savings.

Thank god video games taught me to hoard funds for the OP items in late game ๐Ÿ˜… dwindling fast, but couldn't have done it without them.

Hey, I'm in the same job hunting boat, but I'm in Norway! Good luck on your job quest ๐Ÿ˜Šโค๏ธ

 

The whole article's a great read, but here's a fun excerpt=

To be perfectly blunt, AI girlfriends are not your friends. Although they are marketed as something that will enhance your mental health and well-being, they specialize in delivering dependency, loneliness, and toxicity, all while prying as much data as possible from you.โ€ --Misha Rykov, Researcher @ *Privacy Not Included

 

I'm taking a class on data privacy at the moment, and it made me think it would be interesting to see exactly what kind of advertising data has been generated by services like Google \ YouTube \ Etc. Is there somewhere online that's easy to punch in an advertising ID & find that sort of data, or is that something you'd have to request from advertisers themselves? (AdSense etc?) Or maybe do the service providers (mentioned before) store that data?

Forgive my ignorance - still learning about this stuff!

 

I'm a big fan of Brittle Hollow! The dynamic plates falling into the black hole, & the huge amount of lore on the planet... Not to mention the amazing Lantern raining down hell all the time!

Not sure if this will help anyone else, but I couldn't find anything online about this and thought I'd share this with online just in case!

I just started playing Outer Wilds on the steam deck for a week or so, and was immediately in love with it. I decided to install it on my PC (popOS) to see how it looks with cranked graphics, and I could not for the life of me figure out how to sync my cloud saves! For some reason the deck kept saying the saves were syncing fine up to the cloud, but my pc kept sticking at 'checking....' when I asked it to sync...

In the end, I ended up finding a setting in the steam client that enables compatibility for every title in steam that isn't Linux native... when I flipped it on, Outer Wilds (along with like 4 other games in my library) all immediately resolved their bugged cloud sync!

So, I guess, steam will complain that it can't get your cloud saves to download, when really it doesn't have a compatdata folder for the saves to download to. Kinda jank!
