So you’re a power user? Case in point, you’d be better for Fedora.

Also my second distro was mint, after 3+ years of the old hdd’s non-use, I pulled it out last year when my install of some OS broke, updated it to zero issues (I was curious), used the software for a bit, all was good.

3 years without an update to zero issues.

Haven’t seen any issue with Mint updates yet like I’ve fought in Fedora

Fedora is not for beginners.

Mint is.

I could go into more detail, but I’ll leave it there.

FreeBSD. Can’t go wrong with looking at unix if you want something interesting

yes, this is part of Chinese history.

Republic of China formed by Sun Yat-sen is sincerely praised by both Taiwan & China as the birth of their modern state.

The flag is the 5 races under one union flag, referring to the Han (most), the Manchu, the Hui, the Mongols, & the Tibetians

Checked with startpage & DDG, got the same as this guy times soo…

Everyone has different experiences, interests, & focuses in life which determine what they prioritize.

Communities survive & die due to shared desires, understandings, & experiences after all, no matter how quaint or in someone’s eyes, misinformed it may be.

Regardless, I think the AI singularity thing is just the old mindset of we have a problem today, let’s make up a solution because it’s more comfortable to do that than accept the powerlessness of no answer.

I don’t see consciousness as some special mental faut or whatever.

In my mind it’s a social mechanism meant to allow a more nuanced, complex and deliberate reaction to the world around it and it’s community versus a creature purely with instinct.

In my eyes then, we will know that an AI is conscious if overtime it varies it’s actions and reactions based in a way that it assumes will help guarantees its existence and future usefulness versus it’s prompt varying because that’s how X spoke to it 1 million times.

Fees, random support networks with people from Poland to Paraná, and whatever else of an enigma of a mess agency qualm qualm demands I swear…

🤷🏿‍♀️, everyone gotta start someplace

🙄 Im just gonna say it here:

Crypto has been dead, dying, scam, grift, rugpull, etc. for 15 years now.

And the market is still there & growing again, to die again, to grow again, to die again, rinse & repeat.

Like the fossil fuel industry & nuclear weapons, it will not disappear until something better replaces what it can do to the point its obsolete. .

Clearly, to those who keep industry value over 500 billion dollars (oh, it’s over 1 trillion again 🤷🏿‍♂️), that replacement does not exist yet.

You can cry, you can call politicians, you can bomb blockchain companies, you can scream at every bitcoin logo ever, it’s clearly here to stay.

Deal with it. 🤷🏿‍♂️

purchasing power parity. $50 USD can get much more in one of these countries than in the USA

Markdown formatting, \ is often used as what is called an escape sequence. I don’t knew the rules for lemmy’s markdown, just remember to add 2 \'s

It can access the snap store, though it’s not strict like Ubu is

Let’s see…

1: Linux Mint (Ubuntu sans bs) / Linux Mint Debian Edition or Pop! OS (ubuntu based)

2: Straight Debian or Debian Sid

3: Basically the tinkerers’ distros, like Arch, Void, Gentoo, etc.

4: if youre actually concerned about privacy as if you’re a target of somebody, then maybe Qubes OS

Huh, doesn’t that mean that toilets which flush are valid then? It may not be covering it, but it’s the same logical conclusion.
