It's not a "QAnon-esque conspiracy theory". Russia's online influence in American politics has been fairly well documented. That being said, I think it's somewhat unhealthy to assume everyone who says something controversial is dishonest or a troll. Not good for discourse.

Although in this case Nvidia's ray-tracing does actually utilize AI. Both for image upscaling as well as (iirc) optimizing the number of rays needed to be cast for a mostly accurate image.

I think it's more indicative of how absurd 60° celsius is that it seems like it must be Fahrenheit.

This seems pretty clearly AI-written. Which I suppose isn't inherently an issue except that this takes a single thought ("AUR has more packages than NixOS") and stretches it out to multiple paragraphs without adding any additional value. Why do this? A lemmy post doesn't need to look like a blog post from some tech company. Just state your thought or ask a question and post it. This format does nothing but waste the time of readers.

kinda, the "were" actually comes from old Germanic "wer", meaning "man". Werewolf just means "man wolf" lol. So I suppose a warehouse could be a human who turns into a house at full moon

it is, actually; your argument is a whataboutism, which is logically fallacious

As a user of the GNU Guix operating system, and a big fan of the GNU Emacs editor...

yeah, you're completely right. Linux is a perfectly apt name.

yeah, Guix is great. I tried to use NixOS for a while but I couldn't get over how much I dislike Nix as a language. Scheme is way way better imo. Guix definitely isn't as polished Nix given its lower number of users but it's still a very pleasant experience.

That's annoying. But either way it will get removed soon. Youtube clients aren't allowed on the play store.

Though I am with you in hating Western Big Tech apologia, I don't agree with this point overall. Even the sources you linked show that TikTok collects an ungodly amount of data on its users. The Clario study shows that it's in 6th place... is being lower than Facebook and Instagram supposed to be an accomplishment? And it's much higher than Twitter and Zoom, which is definitely not a good thing.
