Nice post! Thanks for sharing

Out of topic, but how viable is godot for creating desktop/mobile apps? Can it be used for “serious” stuff, or is it more of an improvisation?

That’s exactly how I shave. I can’t stand to look at my face…

There’s also BlissOS if you want to run android on a desktop with a more desktop-like gui.

Indeed, and also because those small shops were often owned by families or had less abstraction layers that remove all traces of humanity, like in the big corps

In my country, when we still had most shops and services coming from small businesses, it was common to receive discounts and benefits for being a long-time customer, and in december, almost all shops gave small gifts to their customers. But then, the multinational corporations came with full force and people embraced them… no need to tell how this ended

I just realized I never deleted the account I created a couple years ago to try it, before knowing all the harms of ai, and realizing it wasn’t worth it. They claim that chatgpt users weren’t affected, but we can never trust them. Well, at least I remembered to delete my account now.

I’m on piefed and I’m still too masculine. What am I doing wrong?

Don’t be sad, be happy! It requires some country to be brave and break this invisible barrier, showing that those people aren’t invulnerable and that we can still turn things to a better path, before others will follow.

And by the way, I’m proud of being from this country ^-

We’re always evolving. We are at this very moment evolving to adapt to an environment full of microplastics, to eating ultraprocessed foods, to look at screens for most of the day, etc.

It’s too bad that evolution has some sort of time delay and only makes the next generations more adapted to the current environment, instead of the future environment, so people won’t be adapted to a hotter climate, more intense climatic events, to deal with food and scarcity, more uv intensity, more conflicts, and so many other things until it’s too late.

Just informing that this post contains irony and is mostly a joke

Well, that’s why I asked if anyone knew about it. Searching for it actually returns some information about its toxicity, but it seems to be in scenarios different from our household items

Wait, nickel? Is that one true? Does that include things like stainless steel?

Looks like I finally found a purpose to live

I’m so deep in open source and avoiding big techs, that those recent outages didn’t even affect me to the point that I wouldn’t even know about it if it wasn’t for the news, and I’m proud of it.

For me, the suicide-related data is so hard to measure and so open for debates, that I’d treat it separately, or not include it at all, if using death count as an argument against llms, since it’s a breach for deviating the debate.

I understand and share the dislike, but the openly released version will remain free, and no one can change it, so don’t you think temporarily open is a bit misleading?

temporarily open?

Soon, Linux will have better compatibility with older windows programs than Windows itself.

I still have issues with wayland when using extensions inside other software that aren’t compatible with wayland. They tend not to work even with xwayland. Well, I hope compatibility improves until I need to update…

Brazilian here. The situation is much more complex than “Brasil is destroying the amazon”. We suffer from political instability, and the big foreign oil companies lust after our resources with enough power to lobby our politicians and manipulate thepublic. A notable case was in the early 2000s, when pro-environment protests led to petrobras abdicating from exploring some recently discovered sources, only for shell to come and explore it soon after, so the environmental damage was done anyway, and we lost our sovereignty over it. Allowing for petrobras to explore it can allow for some degree of environmental control and avoid falling into the same trap. But since things are always more complicated the more we look into it, petrobras isn’t fully state-owned, and suffers market pressure from several actors, both national and foreign.

Anyway, I don’t agree with the exploration in the amazon, but I wanted to show that things are way more complicated than the international media make it look.
