Itd be cheaper for society to give 90% of the country $1200 a month than for them to work. Crazy huh?

>>1076182991. Society has survived every resource limitation so far (big example: going from hunter-gather to agriculture)2. Innovations in technology open up access to new untapped resources (big example: oil fracking in addition to drilling)3. Innovations in technology optimize usage of resources so that each unit has more yield (big example: vehicle engine efficiency in miles-per-gallon)4. Cultural shifts prioritize and de-prioritize certain resources (big example: going from gold to gold-backed currency)Not only are resources relatively unlimited (the universe is untapped), our use of them also only improves with time, and our decision to use them is flexible enough to radically shift elsewhere.There is no "zero sum game".
>>107618344That's a healthy mindset for protecting yourself today, but it betrays you in your predictions.What happened with the invention of the textile mill? Society adjusted, where handweaving became obsolete and those sources of income directly eliminated, factories opened up, and society became able to mass-produce clothing.What will happen when many white collar jobs are automated? Society will adjust just like it always has, where those hands-on-keyboards workflows become obsolete and those sources of income directly eliminated, workflows will be streamlined, and society will be able to solve problems much more quickly, accurately, and at larger scale.Thinking you can bet against thousands of years of human adaptation because the current moment is bleak FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE... is stupid. And I'm sure you agree with me to some extent, but you're playing devil's advocate for the purpose of conversation. Just don't fall under the spell of a narrow mindset you're toying with, or you might act on that false understanding and get burned.
>>107613595That'd require companies to be willing to accept a higher tax rate without whining to their paid politicians.
>>107618412All of those end up with most people becoming miserable after the elite figured out how to exploit the technology and oppress others with it.1. Farmers became enslaved through the feudal system.2. Traveling was no longer a nice to have but became a necessity.3. Optimization of resources is a sign of them coming to an end.4. Cultural shifts are just the government forcing people to behave a certain way.The universe may be full of resources but they might as well not exist if they're not accessible. If the zero sum game doesn't exist, population growth would be unlimited. That's not the case now as its slowing down and predicted to go negative.
I don't regret switching to MacOS. It has all the capabilities of Linux, but is an actually stable just werks OS.

>>107616747One last thing I should have mentioned. I ran Guix on mine for about 3 months to play around with using it to manage the entire OS. Support was good but I spent more time messing with my local config than I did doing actual work. Getting support was a pain in the ass because the FSF people refuse to help you with these machines due to the binary blobs required for the drivers.I don't have that issue with the OpenBSD people. A lot of them are using this exact machine and support is very good. You just pull what you need for GPU/wifi/etc with fw_update (runs automatically at install time and during updates). There were updates for the firmware just a few weeks back when OpenBSD's latest release came out. They worked fine without any issues or regressions. There was a bit of an issue with the wifi update but it never reached the stable tree before getting fixed.I'm running -current OpenBSD on mine and have been for over a year now. I run sysupgrade -s about once a week or so and have had zero issues. Things are tested thoroughly before they hit the -current repos.The handful of Linux-only stuff I need runs fine through vmm (virtual machine). But I've ditched most of that stuff lately. Most everything I needed was in the ports tree but even a lot of that I've stopped using. The most I use openbsd the more I prefer what comes with its base system. The only non-base system thing I'm still using is emacs. I've been using mg more and more lately but I still need emacs for viewing a lot of documents. I run the gtk2 version of the port and they provide a binary of it. So I no longer have to build from source like I do on most Linux distros these days.I've had the laptop for 2 years now and its been a solid machine. I'll probably be using it a decade from now.
>>107616839>The only non-base system thing I'm still using is emacs.Slight correction: I also use Firefox and Ungoogled Chromium from ports. Both of which are fully pledged and unveiled. No more having to set-up jails and chroots to run browsers safely for day-to-day use. Everything works fine in Firefox as far as "modern web" stuff is concerned. I only have Chrome around for one website that isn't on the public web. I have a ton of about:config/user.js modifications for firefox of course along with a bunch of add-ons to tame the cancer. Even 4k videos on youtube function fine in the browser. But I usually use mpv+yt-dlp to watch videos these days. I wrote a shell script to search and browse youtube instead of having to use the website or one of the third party web based portals to it.There is even support for some games on OpenBSD. Pretty active community of people gaming on it these days. Support for AAA stuff isn't great of course. But the actual GPU drivers are just as good as what you get with any Linux distro.If you need a POSIX environment for work along with the usual Linux/UNIX tools OpenBSD is really good and much less of a pain to keep going than using Linux directly. As long as you can live without stuff like wine and bluetooth support. Since both were removed from OpenBSD's kernel due to security concerns.If you do need wine+bluetooth+Linux emulation for binaries you can't build from source than FreeBSD is a great option. Fully supports running your AAA games and everything else. Just know that the developers of FreeBSD aren't running it as their day-to-day OS these days. Unlike OpenBSD where the developers actually use the OS for their day-to-day work.If you really want Linux then I would suggest Gentoo or Arch. But only because Arch seems to have a lot of people using this particular machine. Gentoo is a better option if you're stuck with Linux.

The workstation models with dedicated GPUs seem like a poor price:performance compared to some of the chintzy gamer laptops out there. The problem is, I fucking hate the way most of those look and refuse to carry around something that says "PREDATOR" on it.My main use case will be clandestine UE5 dabbling while at work, albeit in smaller projects avoiding ray tracing, nanite etc. Is there some value I'm missing, or is a gamer laptop a better buy for my situation and I just turn off all of the RGB shit?>t. displaced game "developer"
>>107618742Also: I found a previous employer's equipment (Dell G10 I think) to be pretty underwhelming with a 3060 laptop GPU, but the model with a 4070 I made them send me instead was mostly OK so that's how I've been evaluating my options so far. Last thing, has the used laptop market already adjusted (gouged) for RAM fuckery?
post your command centers!
question, how often do you actually eat chocolate? every one of your battlestation pics i've seen has chocolate in themalso i respect you take good care of those CRT's, nice to see they're always looking bright and healthy.

Is there a safer embedded programming language than Rust?

>>107618603Oh god I just got a flashback to my embedded systems course like 7 years ago... No more model trains please... Choo Choo...
>>107618555no, but be a man.
Did you ever upload a camrip on the internet?
>>107618366yeah, probably, or algorithm
>>107618366I ought to do that someday for kicks.
>>107618366No I'm not brown enough but I'm always impressed at the people who do in this day and age. I read about all kind of crazy shit movie theaters do to prevent camrips. Those same prevention measures must not be common enough in a lot of areas if people are still able to get away with.
which one?
>>107617620either blue waffle or lemon party menu for me.
>>107617886what about tubgirl menu
Menu bars only. I hate this timewasting garbage.
>>107617620The ol' reliable
>>107618331This. Menu bar all the way for desktop use. Save the menus that hide inside a single icon for phones where screen space is limited.This menu bar looks like ass though.

is it actually possible to see the difference? or is it just contrarians?
Contrarians. Both are good, use either.
MPV on it's own is unusable since last time I checked it forces on screen controls onto you. At least not without going full tranny with a bunch of configs and shit. Using it with wrappers is pretty nice however. Haruna is probably the best media player I've used so far, other than maybe good old MPC. Haven't used VLC properly in like 6 years but i remember switching because it was shit at handing some file types.
>>107616095>>107616095you just click and press the arrowsadditionally, you can press F to maximize / restore down (smaller window) and space to play / pauseare you that filtered by mpv?
there's mpv.net with its gui which you can access with right click, and you can populate your config file through lots of clicking
>>107613276you don't even have the menu and sometimes it doesn't even work
I don't want to go back to regular 4chan-X
>>107616076>do literally nothing different than what you are currently doing and your problem will be fixed after doing nothingjeeze, thanks, how could i have guessed that doing nothing would fix the issue
>>107616241>xt even added a button in the qr to randomise/revert to original filename on the flyoh shit, this is fucking sick, this is one of my biggest annoyances with normal 4chanx
>>107617735That's why I love -XT
>>107617196This is the best way to authenticate a user.
I NEED THIS UPDATE PLEASE I BEG OF YOU
Be honest, you would be happy if you used Chrome like any normal person.
>>107618422>Have to look at adsFuck no
>>107618567>fell for the meme
>>107618422Can't set new tab to blank page without an extension, can't disable browser history, can't disable cache.
>>107618643so?
>>107618563i stopped using chrome in 2017 when they started adding scheduled tasks without consent to scan your pc for malware and forced signing into the browser if you logged into gmail
Dumb people are going to be dumb.I have an acquaintance who I've gotten into two AI arguments with. She's a firm anti AI person, despite never having used it. She tried to tell me how AI works, even though I've literally made machine learning programs before, and also tried to tell me that it's "SLAVE LABOR!" But in the same breath she also says "AI is just a word guesser."I kept trying to calmly explain to her how AI actually works, but she called me a "techno machine God worshipper". I left after that.Dumb people are going to be dumb.It's really too bad everyone has an equal voice on the internet. It gives these dumbasses way too much weight.
>>107615202it’s a multi dimensional classifier, because AIs are statistical classifiers…. just use it to classify things and they shine at it.
>>107618049ain't 't just the way
>>107618083>tv>ramhow did it get this bad
>>107618144>TV having RAM badRetard.
>>107613519I like Ai genuinely. I play around with local models. Merge, quantize, and hopefully soon try and train. I like seeing how different ones respond, how dumb stupid small models know very little on niche topics and how even big corporate ones suck at answering the same questions.But I 100% why people hate AI. It's a tool and tools are as good as the person using them. And the people using AI right now are fucking lazy, retarded, and evil.

Anyone use TP link's UB400 for bluetooth? I've had the chip just work up till now and now all I get is stuttering when trying to listen to audio. On Manjaro, messing around with kernel versions has not worked out, trying to use pulse instead of pipewire has not worked out
