I want to be called out.

I love philosophy stuff and often I’ll start to form an opinion that’s a scientific or even problematic.

My lovely fiancé will often call out potentially shitty thoughts and I re-evaluate them.

The classic

offers to recycle

actually installs esoteric Linux distros

Classic!

Do you fear technology

Oh yes! Greatly!

Windows

Ah, a different kind of fear was meant…

I mean if someone can conceive it then yes.

Personally I do think there will always be a “class” of some sort since even among career and financial equals I still view colleagues as a different class of human.

Like I’m a camp in the woods kinda human where my coworker is a take his car to a race track kinda human.

But that’s never the class that is being discussed.

A classless society is specifically one where someone doesn’t have power over you by some financial measure. A true meritocracy as there is no financial incentive to be in those roles since it is also a moneyless society.

Utopian? Maybe. Conceivable? Yeah I can conceive what that would be like and I want to strive for it.

Maybe its not important if its possible and its just important that there are people willing to work towards it or implement something like it in their own controllable way.

A 4060ti has been out long enough that you’re fine with basically any main stream distro.

I think even the 50 series is fine now with most mainstream distros as well.

I still prefer arch based distros now for Nvidia cards and honestly, Fedora is great!

Apparently you can turn those off but I haven’t bothered.

Is it a HUD or just a spy tool?

I gotta wear glasses anyways so it’d be cool if I can get like a pathing over lay with maps and maybe customizable notifications.

But video calling and just taking poorly framed pictures isn’t interesting.

Fair enough.

Opening ports to the network seems to “just work” or be hours of forum diving.

What OS where you using?

If you haven’t seen The Last Kingdom I heavily recommend it.

I made this document a while back for new gun owners with the absolute basics.

I learned something interesting from my AI researcher friend.

ChatGPT is actually pretty good at giving mundane medical advice.

Like “I’m pretty sure I have the flu, what should I do?” Kinda advice

His group was generating a bunch of these sorta low stakes urgent care/free clinic type questions and in nearly every scenario, ChatGPT 4 gave good advice that surveyed medical professionals agreed they would have given.

There were some issues though.

For instance it responded to

“Help my toddler has the flu. How do I keep it from spreading to the rest of my family?”

And it said

“You should completely isolate the child. Absolutely no contact with him.”

Which you obviously can’t do, but it is technically a correct answer.

Better still, it was also good at knowing its limits and anything that needed more than OTC and bedrest was seemingly recognized and it would suggest going to an urgent care or ER

So they switched to Claude and Deepseek because they wanted to research how to mitigate failures and GPT wasn’t failing often enough.

Dell Optiplex 3050

Lenovo m720

HP whatever with a 7th gen Intel

All can be had for $50 ish

I’m mad you started your citation at 0.

I’m telling Chicago style!

Yeah that’s covered in the book and podcast.

Not in crazy detail but it is there already within academia.

The idea is that whatever hyper dense state of energy caused our big bang has caused others.

I’m just a tech guy so I can’t explain it with justice, but I heavily recommend at least scrubbing that podcast for when they talk about almost exactly what you described!

A Microsoft glazing botnet leveraging copilot and all of r/linuxsucks training data to shitpost on Lemmy made by a developer who took a Janatorial job at Microsoft to “get his foot in the door” during an internal hackathon he was accidentally invited to.

Damn it! Another book for the list!

I have a book on my to read list that delves into all the ideas about the “big bang” and how a lot of scientists are convinced that there were are and will be more “big bangs”

It’s called “Battle of the Big Bangs”

I learned it from Alex O’Connor’s “Within Reason” podcast episode 115

I was SHOCKED how well Fedora and Bazzite handled my 5060 after a month of fighting to get it going on pop os.

And Ollama is free and better if you really need AI stuff.

Probably

Hachyderm.io Startrek.website

Then if web apps count then my proxmox instance

If not then floatplane.com

I’m a Linus shill, but I’m also a Craft Computing, LevelOneTechs, and Jeff Geerling shill.

Rough. It was a great handle. Fortunately he still pops up when you search sexuallobster

Gone but not forgotten!
