Ohh so like buying new is superior? Nah. I mean for some things like hard drives (for PCs) or smartphones there’s good reasons to do that (could have malware on it), but cars or appliances I’d think that someone who thinks buying new is superior is dumb. If the thing is well maintained, you’re getting something from a device class leagues above what you’d get new. Plus modern machines are full of cloud crap that makes it break after a few years when the manufacturer pulls the plug on the servers. Used is king!

I wonder what the tag is gonna say hmmmmm

What’s wrong with “used car” as a term?

I think it might be better to post youtube links actually instead of a frontend. People in here tend to have redirects set up already to their preferred frontend, and posting a link to some broken invidious instance for example would break that flow.

I guess not everyone will share the opinion, but sending canonical links will let everyone choose where to watch. For example, on my phone I have youtube links open with grayjay, but that only works if it’s a real yt link.

On machines with just one gpu it’s either that or no passthrough tbf

I set it all up as an automated step before a VM named “win” boots, and I can just start the vm and these steps happen on their own

It’s actually possible to do it with a single gpu but it’s trickier than if you had two. You can use libvirt hooks to stop all graphical processes (and log your gui session out), unload the kernel drivers for the gpu, and start the VM with the now unused primary gpu. Then do the reverse when the VM stops and you’re back to your login screen.

Did you ask your parents if they’re fine with you posting the address of their house? You’re not seeing adverse things in your life yet because you’re being protected by everyone around you. They might have issues with info like this being posted online. Not just the address but all that. Since you like transparency, there shouldn’t be anything blocking you from telling them and seeing if they’re okay with it.

Oh also, there may come a time when you change your mind and decide that you’d rather be more private than you are now. Since you’re not 18 yet that’s even more important, so even if you hate privacy, please know that you still need it in our world today. You do whatever you want as far as I’m concerned but strategicaly, it’s best to not reveal as much PII as you have in other comments of this thread in the future. Not for right now, but for the future yourself. This IS an interesting theory to explore, but just in case it doesn’t work out, please leave enough security for yourself to be able to change your mind.

Your honor, it looks like I did it because @garbage_world hacked into my account.

In a totally surveilled state, yeah you couldn’t escape. But the victim would be still dead and it wouldn’t have happened if their info was private.

Yeah but to be fair, I’m not the one posting with “Convince me otherwise” in the title ;)

How old are you? This seems like a relatively naive worldview, because it doesn’t take into account how crafty people can be. What if I transfer some money to you and then claim that you did it by impersonating me? There would be no provenance of what you could be capable of doing since all info is public. Of course if you’d rather keep your age to yourself that’s fine, since we’re not in that theoretical society now.

You can absolutely kill someone without preparation, especially when emotionally or politically motivated (out in public with a strong punch, elsewhere when the opportunity arises). Check out this page on wikipedia for some material: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_of_passion

In a better world, ads would exist to do that. However as it is, they exist to push the viewer in any way possible to buy the product. If you see something in an ad, it means that the company marketing it has enough budget taken out of manufacturing and R&D to pay for the ad. So the vast majority of the time, if you see something in an ad it means the product is not that great. (edit: Because good products don’t tend to need ads as they speak for themselves and their existence travels by word-of-mouth. Also called “organic traffic” by SEO people)

How would that society do punishment? If someone takes all your money, the fact that it’s public wouldn’t have that much benefit. They’re publically a lot richer and you’re publically on the streets. They go to some other country or hide locally, and you’re left without anything.

For the attacks, it’s a similar question. Once someone gets killed because of injustice or discrimination, the publicity of the act doesn’t help much anymore.

Ads are a burden on the public even today. Even when relevant, they’re not in your interest (because the product is crap, predatory, etc). If it was in your interest, they wouldn’t need to advertise for it. Ads are engineered to hog your attention, and make you buy without inspecting the product. Watching let’s say twenty per day (which is a low number for people who don’t block), dilutes your decision making and lowers the quality of the ones you do make because you already know about a product, so why comparison shop?

I think I understand the theory behind your idea, as in not that a single person or a group of people be transparent and open, but that everyone do it at the same time. It can lead to interesting discussion.

I think it falls apart because it would also require the immediate disappearance of bad faith and mistakes. Let’s say your real name is public. A bad actor could call up your bank, tell them your name, security questions (your dog’s name or whatever, since the animal adoption records would also be public), your account number (which is already more or less public today), and get access to your money. If they don’t do it right away, call back later with even more info and socially engineer customer support to get in.

Then there are marginalised groups of people who are in danger every day when they’re in public because of race, gender, religion, etc depending on location. If all that was public also, they’d get attacked even more on the regular.

What about when someone is critical of a government that while public to the degree of your preference, is in a great degree of control over the population by means of public funding restriction or fines? The existence of that person or group would be inconvenient at best to them, so they could just find out everything about the group, track them down and disappear them. Yes, that would be public as well, but the rest of the population would be too scared to do anything about it.

Also for me personally, I’m not interested in the input of other people about how I live, what I do and how I spend my money. And definitely not interested in any ads tailored to me based on my data.

How are you planning to use contributions? Given that a majority of the commits are written with Fable, it would chew up most of the incoming cash on token credits. Are you self financing the AI code and using contributions for everything else?

KRunner, I think. I even removed the application menu from my panel and I have a keyboard macro for just opening KRunner

Just moved from Gandi to a local one. Bill went from like €70 to €12 for a single .com! I used to love Gandi and recommend them but over half a decade they went so expensive for some reason

Someone somewhere had the idea for the name of that bill, and they knew exactly what they were doing

Why? Like, I love the upgrades to my stuff as much as the next, but who needs that refresh rate on a phone? I’d much rather go with the extra battery life and stick to 90, which itself is already really smooth. On computer screens I understand the need and I use 144hz displays, but on a phone?

Not sure about that, I think it’s more just that they don’t want people streaming terabytes of traffic through their edge.

Not at all, there’s legal risk if you’re hosting your blurays. Cloudflare even explicitly forbids such use. VPN or nothing imo.

I wanted the same thing with Kubernetes and ended up using FluxCD. Highly recommend it. It basically syncs a git repo to the cluster, so you just push to github or whatever, and it auto applies the changes you pushed. Also, llm models tend to be good at teaching this topic and even writing yaml files for it, so the initial learning curve was not bad actually.

Now I’m exploring doing this even better with this template: https://github.com/onedr0p/cluster-template
