This is definitely AI, but AI is such a vaguely defined term that it’s basically meaningless. Too many people these days mistake it for meaning “a computer that can think like a human” even though it encompasses everything from LLMs to chess playing algorithms to something like Minecraft zombie pathfinding.

That would make sense.

I don’t use Play Services and still get push notifications from Signal, so they’re clearly using an alternative implementation.

Mint does have a graphical app store. Steam also has a .deb package on their website to download, which opens by default in the GUI installer when you double click it. Using the CLI is fine, but it’s definitely not necessary.

It’s also good to keep in mind that the gambling site is predicting only a 50% chance of a sweep. That’s still coinflip odds.

It’s a sure sign of a healthy non-bubble economy when a random Substack post can cause a stock market crash.

We have submersibles that can explore and even carry a human to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, which is over 10km deep, far deeper than this hole could possibly be. But they are very expensive and I’d guess it’s not worth the cost to map out an obscure feature of a bay.

The copyright doesn’t apply to the event of Vance being booed itself, it applies to that specific video recording of it. Sure the video creator is a dick for getting it taken down, but they’re within their legal rights to.

Sort your data into stuff you absolutely need to keep (personal files and such) and stuff you’d be okay with losing (less important files, device backups, downloads you can redownload, etc). Then only back up the former. As for backup medium, ServerPartDeals often has some pretty good deals on storage; they were selling refurbished 12TB drives for $80 a pop a while back.

Didn’t see this earlier but another thread gave a good summary: https://piefed.social/comment/9505729

Cool, but this article looks like AI slop.

If this isn’t just an artifact of the way data was collected, I suspect it’s not because Linux users are more likely to install alternative launchers, but because they’re much less tolerant of non-FOSS software in general.

Anecdotally, most Windows users I know use a custom launcher, but they use proprietary ones like CurseForge or Feather (both of which show advertisements; something no self-respecting Linux user would accept, but which has been normalized in Windows).

I can’t see this being useful; the amount of energy generated is just so far below what’s practical to use. An equivalent size of solar panels would be cheaper and provide orders of magnitude more energy even when it’s cloudy.

It’s an interesting idea though, and cool that they were able to harvest any power at all.
