Just found about WSL.. why would anyone use Linux when this exists? For privacy? Linux has FBI backdoors and the minute you even look up the term Linux and VPN you are flagged by Prism. This is the best of both worlds.
>>106752762Funny because that's where i found my computer.The computer had windows 10 and was unable to boot, giving boot loops presumable after an "update"Now my "Desktop Trash" has a penguin running and has no problem with booting.It even has a space alien, and a god compiler.
>>106744147Meds, stat.
>>106744253and it was a good argument. What's yours? That learning things from experience rather than books is bad?
>>106745289yes but CAN you remove it? Hypothetically. If you did want full control of your computer.
it's cool that windows users are getting a taste of linux, but i'm not sure i understand why being able to use linux means people shouldn't use linuxwsl2 is just a virtual machine, you've been able to run linux in a vm on windows for a long time. you can also run windows in a vm on linux. none of this is new
What flash drives do you put your trust in for moving data around that aren't the slow kind?
>>106751615I've been using one chinkshit drive as a scratchpad for transcoding terabytes worth of podcasts and torrents and it refuses to die, it has outlasted all other usbs and my wd black hdd by like 4 years now. It's completely random
>>106752009once you figure out pxe booting you'll rarely if ever want to buy one again i broke my addiction to flash drives in 2014-ish, pretty sure I still have a few from that era

>>106753216He makes a good point though. Account deletion after 3 months of inactivity is stupid. Gmail gives you 2 years. Yahoo Mail gives you 6 months, but they don't delete your account, they just empty it -- this is really the better option, since it costs them $ to store your mail.

As a developer, which GUI toolkit provides the most out of the box? I know people like doing things from scratch but I just want to make a regular application.
>>106753720>it takes 5 mins to understand the cmake to build the fucking thingAre you going to fix the Qt bugs for me or something? Good luck getting that merged into a closed-contribution project.>then just leave the option for the users to use whatever template they want. why bother over something so trivialDo you even know what a system theme is? You cannot make a template to cover every single system theme. Show me ONE imgui program that looks NATIVE. also not accounting for the fact every time the system gui gets changed you would have to update your program since you're re-creating it and not using the system apis KEK

What's that thing called like when you're sick with a cold or flu, and you feel bad, and you're just waiting for it to be over because you're exhausted and tired of being sick and miserable... but instead of actually being sick you're just experiencing life?
>>106753845Honestly that is just comfy. Same goes with fucked up sleep while its cold/raining and you still got shit to do. Its the shit but it's good shit like you are still productive but feeling bad, makes you feel alive.
>>106753845Comfy cat pic to go with it. But for me its nostalgic at this point to be feeling like shit while working to the bone, sick, sleepy or otherwise.

>>106753895S90F or if you want the best of the best, the S95F. Don't bother buying an old gen TV because they suck with low brightness and lower color gamut/volume than even LCDs of their year. 2025 was a big jump for OLED brightness and color, especially for LG but then they fucked up with their dithering algorithm and also gaming on a G5 is fucked because of a color banding issue which hasn't been fixed since launch.
>>106753925Why does this guy not mention any of this stuff in his reviews other than his random hate for matte displays? I starting to think Monitor reviewers on youtube can't be trusted. At least gpu/cpu and other groups will at least mention the flaws.

Why do I need half a dozen different apps just to go on a road trip? And every single one of them needs its own wallet with my money locked in. Is this just the accepted reality of EV road-tripping now? Feels like a step backward. Isn't there a single app to do all the things

>>106753315So you can't just park at one of the charging stations and use it? Lmao
>>106753361Depends on how busy your area is. If there are a lot of EV owners in your city then probably not. EV charging just doesn't scale up like gas stations do and the only good solution is billions of dollars of electrical infrastructure upgrades.
>>106753315Don’t worry, sooner or later someone will come out on top and buy out all the smaller ones.Hell one of these companies built a charging station just down the road from me with like 12 plugs before going under before they activated them.Brand new plugs under used.Also, you’re a retard if you buy an EV without the intention of installing a charger in your home by yourself.If you don’t, you’re wasting all the money you save.
You don’t need more than level 1 charging. Charge at home from your 120v outlet.

A lot of the writing making the case for AI doom is by Eliezer Yudkowsky, interspersed with the expected number of parables, tendentious philosophical asides, and complex metaphors. I think this can obscure the fact that the argument for AI doom is pretty straightforward and plausible—it requires just a few steps and none of them are obviously wrong. You don’t need to think humans are just fancy meat computers or that AI would buy into functional decision theories and acausally trade to buy the argument.For this reason, I thought I’d try to concisely and briefly lay out the basic argument for AI doom.The basic argument has a few steps:We’re going to build superintelligent AI.It will be agent-like, in the sense of having long-term goals it tries to pursue.We won’t be able to align it, in the sense of getting its goals to be what we want them to be.An unaligned agentic AI will kill everyone/do something similarly bad.Now, before I go on, just think to yourself: do any of these steps seem ridiculous? Don’t think about the inconvenient practical implications of believing them all in conjunction—just think about whether, if someone proposed any specific premise, you would think “that’s obviously false.” If you think each one has a 50% probability, then the odds AI kills everyone is 1/16, or about 6%. None of these premises strike me as ridiculous, and there isn’t anything approaching a knockdown argument against any them.
>>106753283Yudkowsky and other weirdos, being self-proclaimed intellectuals, assign too much value to intelligence. But intelligence is very obviously not that important, and doesn't magically unlock an ability to predict the future. Any highly intelligent being will not do anything ruthless because it cannot truly predict how things will go. Which is partially why intelligence is not that important, too much of it limits your ability to act, constrains you to a niche.
