Someone make this into a useable cursor immediately.

I’m always excited by these kinds of headlines! I hope they stick with open source and don’t switch back.

That’s why I specified a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency. They use so much less energy that it is practically negligible in comparison, and more on the order of traditional online transactions.

Yeah, exactly. A regular user isn’t going to notice an extra few cents on their electricity bill (boiling water costs more), but a data centre certainly will when you scale up.

Scarcity is what powers this type of challenge: you have to prove you spent a certain amount of electricity in exchange for access to the site, and because electricity isn’t free, this imposes a dollar cost on bots.

You could skip the detour through hashes/electricity and do something with a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency, and just pay for access. The site owner actually gets compensated instead of burning dead dinosaurs.

Obviously there are practical roadblocks to this today that a JavaScript proof-of-work challenge doesn’t face, but longer term…

Should also take a look at https://www.home-assistant.io/voice_control/voice_remote_local_assistant/

The images that have traversed my wire span the entirety of sensation, from the darkest pits of depravity to the… Wait, no, that’s it.

I think a large part of that is enshittification and not necessarily because of AI (though AI certainly doesn’t help…)

https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/ is a decent read.

They do, but they aren’t very good at haunting.

Framework has endorsed a Linux distribution by a developer with controversial social views.

Every online space is filled with furries, especially the most furry-hostile spaces!

Good point. I guess it should be “90% of the population takes any meaningful step towards”

Laws/rights are just thoughts and words. If 90% of the population wants something—barring some extreme use of force—they’re going to get their way.

Simply declaring something unconstitutional or illegal is a paper shield.

That’s not to say that there isn’t value in codifying these things. It helps maintain long term positions/policies when the government swings across the centrepoint, but they only work because the majority of the population agrees with them.

While the government shouldn’t be allowed to restrict speech, that doesn’t mean your speech shouldn’t have consequences.

It’s a rolling release, but more stable than arch. It has a lot of features for customizing your software (useflags, custom patches, etc.) and is a great way to learn a lot about Linux.

Gentoo is the way.

It wasn’t child porn then, and it isn’t now. Taking a screengrab doesn’t somehow transform it?

What video adapter is in there?

Have you tried dmesg over SSH? Sometimes you can get an extra message or two if the display freezes before the entire kernel does.

O.o

I leave to sleep for the night and come back to a comment wasteland 🤣

You kinda missed the point of the post. Nothing they said implied that the history books didn’t contain monstrosities, just that the books didn’t prepare them for living life while monstrosities occur.
