Can we get a lemmy community for whatever this is? I want to subscribe!

I'm convinced that Linux' mere presence has already stymied the development of the worst possible technocractic nightmare. I shudder to think of the thick tech-chains that would bind us if there was not an anchor/reference point... or if there was not even the small contingent that knows what it is like to use a liberating platform.

When you stare into the AI, the AI stares back at you.

Sounds ripe for a legal challenge, but neo-ownership of digital-goods is already so fragile.

xia , (edited )

True for digital goods THEY are supposed to own, but also consider how dominated we are with OUR digital property. I have witnessed how readily tech giants will abuse their position, abuse the power of defaults, weaponize psychology, and feign deletion... even against my lowly grandma. They think nothing of effectively stealing one's digital photos, using them for their own purposes, and giving them to the police, so they can destroy your life and your dog.

It's just Diablo... the new fully-immersive experience.

Would if i could, o darling pixels of mine...

xia OP ,

I thought systemd read fstab to dynamically create the mount units? First i've heard of someone bespoke mount units... but sounds neat!

xia ,

Limp at his side.

Libertarian driver's ed?

xia ,

The same object lesson could apply to technofascism, data-silos, police seizures, ...

xia ,

Yeah! Just like water's "wetness" problem. It's kinda fundamental to how the tech operates.

xia ,

It's all coming together...

xia ,

At this rate we'll soon need a BS in nerdology to get these in-jokes... i love it.

xia OP ,

If it's any indication... the last time I ordered checks their website was littered with nuisance upsell popups that significantly hindered that task (felt kinda like Indiana Jones navigating booby traps), so I think the "check industry" (if that is a thing?) is getting desperate.

xia OP ,

The fewer places print checks, the more each one is busy. Also probably still very common for businesses.

xia ,

One can hope...

The texture is intriguing... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw7PUrgU3N0

Just wait till all the browser tabs sit down, and need to swap to the floor.

I think it'd say something about no Makefile present.

Oddly specific...

xia ,

This seems to be a pattern. Govts flex over tech companies, techs blackout a country instead of complying, repeat.

xia ,

You might be obligated to call it a "hell-hound", though...

xia ,

Same!

xia OP ,

It's not really a joke, per se. Just feeling a bit nostalgic... recalling ancient linux-on-a-floppy distros on old hardware, juxtaposed to the huge linux distros I use now on faster hardware, etc.

xia OP ,

In hindsight, that may have been a better post title.

xia ,

Doesn't even mention the narrative that humans (the child listeners) are harmful to the earth, part of the pollution problem, should have fewer humans, etc.

xia ,

I'm surprised how well this works. Well, erm... visually, anyway.

xia ,

Kinda makes one not want to become dependant on google products.

xia ,

Sometimes i just cant understand why a post gets downvotes... maybe some hate anime?

xia ,

I avoid those stations i know have ads, and if surprised... i'm happy to know of the hidden mute button.

"Digital sovereignty": German federal state of Schleswig-Holstein ditches Microsoft for Linux and Open Source alternatives (blog.documentfoundation.org)

Schleswig-Holstein, the northern German federal state, will be a digital pioneer region and the first German state to introduce a digitally sovereign IT workplace in its state administration. With a cabinet decision to introduce the open-source software LibreOffice as the standard office solution across the board, the government...

xia ,

How can Germany be so cool and scary at the same time?

xia ,

Is this a unicorn? :)

xia OP ,

It certainly could. I've attached the original image I got from Dall-E (hopefully it comes through at full resolution: 1024 squared). As you can see, I have rotated it and added the text. It looks to me like it many aspect rations could work (maybe with different rotations though). Enjoy!

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, Google/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Chrome plus Linux.

xia ,

Maybe it's cause there is no banana for scale, but that egg looks huge... like an ostrich egg.

I can feel this image, and it hurts.

The BBC Won't Use AI to Promote Doctor Who Again After Being Yelled at by Fans (gizmodo.com)

The backlash was immediate, but it didn’t stop the BBC from using text generated by LLMs—and purportedly checked and copy-edited by a human before approval—in two marketing emails and mobile push notifications to advertise Doctor Who. But now, the corporation will stop the experimentation entirely after a wave of official...

xia ,

I think that might make for interesting tv... one or more of the characters have dialog and action written by ai, and they have to deduce which are machines.

xia ,

Yoink! Another meme-quote for my collection!

xia ,

I think a pinenote might be a better jumping-off point in the project space.

xia ,

Clever, but not worth the effort I invested reading it.

Darth Vader would be proud...
