Why do people install anything other than Ubuntu as a beginner distro? Like, what's the deal with shit like Mint, PopOS, Zorin and elementary? It's all just Ubuntu with a different DE. If you want a different DE, just install Ubuntu and install a different DE?
>>100166179>My opinion's always kinda been, Debian is the gold standard community server OSThat would be Unraid.
>>100165141Because snaps are YUGELY wasteful.
>>100165141Because they visit forums like this or leddit and are told to install Arch or Mint and that Ubuntu is not elite enough
>>100165141Casual Mint user here. (Exclusively use GUI, no terminal)Ubuntu has always been a bit buggy for me. Sometimes I would have trouble connecting to a WiFi network that required a webpage to be pulled up to access. Mint also has a better functioning package from my experience. Also, i like the out of the box look better as well.
>>100165141Ubuntu uses gnome. Mint doesn't.
I will be watching a Youtube video, there would be other videos open in other tabs paused.All the youtube tabs, and just the youtube tabs will refresh and the videos in all the other tabs including the one im using will start playing all at once. Its super annoying.This problem has been going on for a couple days.Who else is experiencing this problem.I have updated Chrome.This also happens on my other laptop.

What do you use?
>>100163173based
>>100161079update extension, clean cache, update filters>>100165109whats in the red
main thing I used it for was the coincidence detector. Now I can just tell without needing the coincidence detector on, but it helped a lot at the beginning
>>100157592>What do you use?These right 'ere
I use a couple scriptsThe most important is coincidence detector or rather a derivative of it. Then there is 4chan xt since 4chanx has been abandoned. That's all you need the filters and filter lists are a whole different beast to tackle
How's that Linux distro coming along?
>>100168189What distro?
fuck anyone who is against the idea of buying older flagship phones from one or two yesrs ago, any faggot who keep yapping about this shit should be hanged
>>100168147Just do what you gotta do. Headphone jack+microsd bros have it harder. Not buying a flagshipslop that has no expandable memory. Ever.
Do you agree that we need to hold back on developing these overpowered CPUs/GPUs and focus on improving energy efficiency?https://www.techradar.com/computing/its-time-for-amd-intel-and-nvidia-to-call-a-truce-on-the-performance-arms-race-and-focus-on-sustainability-and-efficiency>For consumers who are barely tapping into the performance that an Nvidia RTX 4080 Super brings to the table, much less what an RTX 4090 or AMD RX 7900 offers, you have to ask if this kind of performance is worth the cost in terms of carbon emissions.>And of course, this is only in terms of useful work, like video editing or gaming, and not for something like cryptocurrency mining, which has at best a marginal social utility, and whose cost in terms of energy usage in the aggregate far outstrips any practical benefit cryptocurrency has (unless you're really into criminal activity or need to launder some money).>Regular old processors aren't immune either, with the current generation of Intel processors soaking up an extraordinary amount of energy. What you get for that energy draw is some incredible performance numbers, but for 97-98% of users, this kind of performance is absolutely unnecessary, even if users are using the appropriate processor for their needs.>As hard as it may be to hear or accept, these three chipmakers must acknowledge that we don't have a performance problem, we have a sustainability problem. They should turn away from squeezing even more performance out of their hardware that we don't need, and give us the efficiency that is desperately needed, especially when these marginal increases in power are coming at far too high a cost.>Some power users and enthusiasts might not like seeing decreasing power usage while maintaining roughly the same level of performance gen-on-gen, or slightly better performance but far less than with previous generations, but it's what needs to be done, and the sooner everyone acknowledges this and adapts, the better.
>>100154485Your country is an oddity. Very few countries have majority renewables or hydro. Even hydro has its issues, the flooding of large areas of vegetation causes anaerobic decomposition of the plant matter, which releases methane, but it’s not a direct result of power generation and stops after a while.Even then, countries that are primarily hydro or similar still have at least a few coal or gas powered plants for peak demand, or because the transmission infrastructure isn’t up to moving enough energy to power their capital from hydro dams or similar. The country I live in is also like 97% hydro, but the capital city has 3 or so gas and coal plants because they’re about as far from the hydro dams as you can get and have the largest population. There’s also an aluminium foundry that has its own dedicated coal power plant cause it sucks up too much power

I wouldn't recommend Arch to most people, but if I hadn't started with Arch I'd probably never have gotten so interested in Linux.For a bored, nerdy teenager back in the 10s, starting with Arch was catnip.
>>100167921From what I've heard it's made with power users in mind so if you've already got programming chops it can't be a bad choice for first-time linuxbabbies.

Would you pay $3.25 for a CPU from a vending machine?https://www.techspot.com/news/102720-japan-gacha-vending-machine-dispenses-intel-core-i7.html
That is so fucking cool. Are the majority of these CPUs damaged or do you get one in a random condition?
>>100167410I wish I could go to Japan, too bad I'm brown.
>>100167410if it was a random IC i'd take it but there's NOTHING to do with a random cpu
>>100167805You can visit Japan, just expect glares.
>>100167410no, i once bought a bundle off newegg that came with a used cputhey essentially gave me $40 off a basic bitch mechanical keyboard in order to have my throw away a cpu for themi haven't thrown it away but it's also just sitting in a box with misc wires
This shouldn't be controversial at all.The way we're currently doing AI/ML won't lead to AGI.
>>100167556>An unprovable assertion based on circular reasoning that brain = computer and computers have finite inputs/outputs, therefore brain has finite input/outputs.It's based on basic new atheism presuppositions, like materialism and computational theory of mind. Read your Dawkins and your Sam Harris before spouting off about what you don't understand. You telling me you believe a flying spaghetti monster put a "soul" in there or what?
>>100165349>first example choiceyou should probably be gassed
>>100167635I suppose this is true from a practical sense given that as far as we know, the universe is ultimately discrete at some level, but the way it’s phrased is poor. It implies the limitations aren’t a universal thing and are somehow unique to brains. The other issue is that the “input” would have to be the entire state of the observable universe at a given instant.
>>100165305AGI is a retarded and arbitrary benchmark but this post sounds like a good goal for making a more capable intelligent computer. Good post anon, I especially like the comparison you made at the end
>>100167635> atheismnow I understand why the IQ here is that low.> flying spaghetti monsterthat's the atheist mind, that when someone says "God" they think of an old man in the skies, then they say "but what if they were actually X"> soulIs only logical, if you are not dummy

>>100168347YEAH ANON JSON IS THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE TEXT AS A MANAGED HUMAN READABLE FILE
>>100168377The difference is you can have a text file that doesn't mix code with dialog. And even better, you can make a parser that validates and tests your dialog system too so you can ensure there's no dead paths. You know, because you're fucking doing spaghetti string bullshit anyways.
Did you know that apple has a clause, that in movies or TV shows, villains can't be seen using iPhones or any apple products.
>>100164673Nice. A midwit thread. I bet you think you're pretty smart, huh?
>>100167640Smarter than you at least.
>>100167640ok mr interlocutor
>>100164673Its just their media propaganda. Propaganda by not allowing anything negative and only allowing positives means there's a wide imbalance of perception. Alternatively, you allow only negative view of one company and never allow anything positive, you create the other propaganda. This goes towards any other entity/organization too.

Social media was the single worst thing to ever happen to human civilization. Is there no way to set the clock back and dismantle all of it?
>>100166303>>100166357
>>100166172some of us realized this in the beginning and chose not to participate at conception.
>>100166172That shit is for the lowest common denominator of people who don't mess with websites unless its to get a cooking recipe or specific piece of info on a static website. Social media is meant to be dynamic and changing with news updates and whatever is happening on the day to day. You don't like it, don't touch it and make your own website. Then see why web 1.0 is dead or left on the back burner. its meant to hold static pieces of data.
