The brain rot in this administration continues to spread.

Lol true

Mint is based on Ubuntu LTS. The packages aren’t THAT out of date. Most people don’t give a shit if they’re running the bleeding edge of kernels or what version of mesa is installed. If it works with their hardware, they’re good.

That’s an interesting way of looking at things, but generally measurement standards are agreed upon. Regardless of whether they can change, that doesn’t negate their usefulness in measuring things now.

Hey Hillary…fuck you

Yeah that’s the annoying thing. Generative AI is actually really useful…in SPECIFIC situations. Discovering new battery tech, new medicines, etc. are all good use cases because it’s basically a parrot and blender combined and most of these things are rehashes if existing technologies in new and novel ways.

It is not a fucking good solution for a search engine replacement to ask “Why do farts smell?”. It uses way too much energy for that and it hallucinates bullshit.

How is a physical measurement that is universally agreed upon “arbitrary”?

Until Plebbit fixes how god awful slow it is, I won’t be interested in it. Lemmy is decentralized enough for me.

India’s government is a corrupt shithole aiming to become a police state similar to how the US is headed. The solution is not to privatize nuclear. It’s to hold the government to task and make them fix their fuck ups.

Also, corporations do not “innovate”. They take government grant money to fund their pet research projects. If the government didn’t fund their research and development, we wouldn’t have advancement.

Congrats. You just burned down 4 trees in the rainforest for every article you had an LLM analyze.

LLMs can be incredibly useful, but everybody forgets how much of an environmental nightmare this shit is.

Women’s and Children’s pants sizes. It’s an 11 WHAT? THE FUCK DOES THIS NUMBER MEAN GODDAMMIT?

All pants sizes should be Waist circumference, Hip circumference, and (in the case of pants versus shorts) Length to ankle. Objective and not subjective measurements. Something I can put a measuring tape to and confirm. It’s not perfect, as everybody is different, but at least I’m not trying to dress my children and remember “A size 12 in this brand is a size 10 in this brand” bullshit.

I nearly foamed at the mouth ranting about how this shit drives me insane.

Yes it’ll show up in the Flatpak category.

My understanding is that Steam has nearly or completely removed the old 32 bit dependencies recently.

Lol you know it is.

Opening nuclear energy to corporate interests that prioritize cost cutting and maximum profits…what could go wrong with that? /s

I’m curious… What problems are you referring to?

XWayland is the compatibility layer in Wayland to run X11 applications within Wayland. I’ve never had an issue with it on any application that still used X11 and it’s pre-installed, so you don’t have to do anything, if you’re running Wayland.

Honestly for the best. X11 was great for what it was, but Wayland is the future. XWayland covers X11 apps that haven’t been ported yet.

Now I just wish Cinnamon would hurry up and move to fully default Wayland.

I don’t think they’re removing XWayland. Just the X11 session option. You can still run legacy X11 apps in XWayland AFAIK.
