I got the lifetime plan on Black Friday back when it was $0.00 I’m really glad I did that now

Finally, we’ve invented a machine that saves mankind from the drudgery of getting to know other people!

“I want a way to record the young ladies at the gym without Meta knowing about it”

I’ve also used duck.com’s free email masks with great success

Not quite what OP is talking about but useful in most cases

Yeah this is it. I like snaps just fine but I also like Flatpaks and well, everyone else is using Flatpaks.

Last I checked “Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” did not include electricity!

I know lol I had the same thought, I’m pretty sure it is.

Wow! That’s like, the opposite of how you ensure a grid is robust.

Not incorrect but we’re heading towards a future where the grid might be a backup option. Which benefits us all.

Because it doesn’t cost as much?

Damn, an inspiration to us all.

Wait why would someone do a terrorism when they could pay less than they are paying now?

A VPN actually hides your IP from the webpage.

Hah! I definitely didn’t mean any shade at Zorin! I used it for a while too. I ultimately moved to Fedora Kinoite and now Bazzite for the exact reasons you described, the immutability makes it even harder to break than Zorin.

It’s great we have so many good options these days.

On one hand I think that Linux would benefit from KDE being better than windows and GNOME being better than MacOS and that we shouldn’t get distracted by new shiny toys like Cinnamon and Cosmic.

…and yet on the other hand… they are pretty cool…

Thrift stores often have old laptops for cheap

That’s assuming the hypothetical superintelligence is willing to do the bidding of billionares. But I’m not sure how the billionares would control something that is smarter than them and also doesn’t rely on money to stay alive.

Glad the subheader is “Imagine what happens if jobs actually start disappearing.”

There’s just still not a lot of evidence that LLMs could take a substantial number of jobs away, unless your job is spam, advertising or propaganda. Corporations are blaming AI but there just isn’t the evidence to support the idea that those fired workers are anything other than normal downsizing (that conveniently help fit the narrative and boost the stock price).

IF an AI gets invented that actually begins making humans unemployable, the economy as it exists wouldn’t be able to withstand it …who would pay for things if there are no jobs? Why provide goods and services for money if nobody can pay for it? Even being a billionare would be pointless because if everyone else’s economic value is zero they can’t be compelled to do anything with your worthless slop money.

But what is the DisplayPort plugged into on the PC? Extremely few motherboards and GPUs support CEC in my experience…

Very cool, what hardware are you using that supports CEC?
