The epitome of limousine liberal.
Completely owned by Big tech and VC.
Everything he’s doing now is for his presidential run, but that doesn’t mean there’s no value to any of it.
At this point, we’ll take what I can get, and he knows that.
I guess it depends on your needs, but given that they are CS students, they may want newer updates than Debian Stable provides.
I know snap is shit, but Ubuntu is still one of the default recommends for new users, but yes, my preference is Mint for new users.
Sounds like someone purchased, or otherwise gained access to, T-Mobile’s targeted customer advertising and marketing profile data.
Or, the kind of information that data harvesting applications gather, and then sell to data brokers.
I wonder if they have a grudge against T-Mobile, this is an early stage of a larger plan, or if it’s just for the lulz?
That’s why it’s so important to always store your backup media inside your refrigerator for ISO certified cold storage.
I don’t know where you’re from, but for the Americans who are confused by the term cold storage, their talking about refrigeration.
IMO Ubuntu or Mint first.
Eventually they’ll learn the way of either Fedora or Arch for their workstations, and Debian for their servers, but that does take a little time getting used to Linux as a whole.
I think in this scenario OOP is better off just helping his friend get Linux set up, as requested.
But, by and large, I agree with your stance on Mac computers.
They typically just work, the build quality is usually phenomenal, and most importantly, no Microsoft.
I can’t imagine the levels of pain I would be in if I had to provide tech support for my elderly parents Microsoft Windows experience. Thank God they use all Apple products.
Do not use Cosmic for this brand new user.
It’s still beta, and I assume your goal is to have them keep using Linux.
Ubuntu or Mint for new users.
I vote Mint, but either works.
That’s a great idea, but it would have to stand out on their work uniforms.
Best to make it a bright color, like yellow or gold.
I don’t understand why using the state’s authority to intentionally and illegally destroy someone’s life isn’t being talked about as a capital crime.
If we’re a country that supports the death penalty, we might as well put it to some good use.
I understand why the agents of the state won’t talk about it like that, but I don’t understand why the citizens don’t start talking about it in those terms.
No one goes to bat this hard for someone they don’t support.
Maybe the rest of the people here don’t know about Ethan’s long history of being a vile and detestable human being, but I have a good idea.
And no, I’ll never feel bad for, or side with, the pro-genocidal and open pedophile that is Ethan Klein.
To anyone else reading this, Google anything I’ve said, the receipts are available for everyone to verify.
Hello Ethan, I didn’t know you were on Lemmy.
Got to say, I’m not a fan, you seem pretty psychotic.
Although I guess you could be a h3 fan, but that might actually be even more disturbing.
Edit: I’m surprised so many people here are pro-Ethan when his biggest, and most vocal, issues are that Israel isn’t committing genocide, anyone who says they are is a Hamas agent, and that Palestinians are sub-humans.
He’s also an inveterate liar, racist, and has an entire account dedicated to making pedophile jokes on Reddit, about himself being a pedophile.
Go to conservative forums, all of the top comments are about how his politics don’t matter, lashing out at “the left” for pointing out his politics, or lamenting the fact that politics are even brought into this terrible tragedy.
I won’t hazard a guess at administrative/bureaucratic staff breakdowns, but you can bet your ass that the people who work inside the prisons, voted overwhelmingly for Trump.
Elect Democrats next presidential cycle and watch them do nothing to prosecute any of the criminal acts by agents of this administration, much less do anything to actually rebalance the economy.
Then watch them lose the following election and blame radical leftists.
This is the way.
That’s so 20th century.
21st century DNC is all about that sweet private equity cash and making land acknowledgments.
That’s my point, I don’t use LLMs for those operations, and I’m aware of their faults, but that doesn’t mean they’re useless.
So yeah, I look forward to the AI bubble popping, but I’m still going to use LLMs for type of tasks they’re actually suited for.
I don’t think many people on Lemmy are under the the spell of AI hype, but plenty of people here are knowledgeable enough to know when, and when not, to leverage this useful, but dangerously overhyped and oversold, piece of technology.
Ask the model to confirm the answer and it will correct itself, at least when I’ve tried that.
I’m sure there’s a mathematical or programmatic logic as to why, but seeing as I don’t need LLM’s to count letters or invent new types of pseudoscience, I’m not overly interested in it.
Regardless, I look forward to the bubble popping.
That’s not what I’m saying.
Giving people more, or better, health insurance, or raising minimum wage, are policies that the donor class feels comes at their expense. Either monetarily, or by giving the peasants more financial freedom, which they view as weakening their strangle hold on society.
They may have moral objections to marijuana, but enough of them also want to get richer off of it, so it’s not the same thing.
Is this what fedposting looks like?
