“It’s just a prank bro!”

Actually witty and funny. And not socially awkward and weird. Which is totally what I’m like in real life because why would I imagine myself as something I’m not.

Technically it was Kali on a VM. But I had absolutely no clue what I was doing (I was 9 years old) so I gave up.

Then I tried Ubuntu to get past my parental controls. Same thing.

Eventually had success with Mint 5 years later. Never looked back.

It says you have to be 18+. Although I’m not sure how well that’s monitored.

I did this when I listened to Japanese songs before I knew how that writing system worked. I was always extremely confused.

Are Linux kernel lifespans usually that short?

yes

I really like Lunatask. It’s a task/habit management app kind of like Todoist, but it works better for me personally. The premium version is quite expensive, but the free one is quite okay to work with. And it’s still in development so a lot of features are missing (you can’t set a time for a task for example which I find ridiculous).

Also Ghostwriter, it’s a really nice minimalistic markdown editor. I wish it was a bit more customizable but I guess I could try emacs for that.

It’s AI generated, you can see some artifacts in the menu icons/text

Actually my favorite site

Setting up nvidia drivers wasn’t an issue? Well then I guess I was stupid or just extremely unlucky. I ran into so many driver issues on Mint it’s ridiculous.

Not to mention that anything computerized is automatically thought to be AI now. I saw an article that described Hatsune Miku as AI (she’s a singing synthesizer)

chatgpt only generates text. that’s how it was supposed to work. it doesn’t care if the text it’s generating is true, or if it even makes any sense. so sometimes it will generate untrue statements (with the same confidence as the ‘linux gatekeepers’ you mentioned, except with no comments to correct the response), no matter how well you train it. and if there’s enough wrong information in the dataset, it will start repeating it in the responses, because again, its only real purpose is to pick out the next word in a string based on the training data it got. sometimes it gets things right, sometimes it doesn’t, we can’t just blindly trust it. pointing that out is not gatekeeping.

How is it that the companies we rely on in our daily lives just all happen to be the greediest and worst possible decision makers

fr, whenever i open the terminal on my school pc everyone immediately thinks im ‘hacking’

sir that is just how i update my programs

for me it’s mostly because i specifically messed something up
