I used to run a Mumble server at home on an RPi, the sound was way better than Discord, but I didn’t like how it made my IP appear on shodan, I also didn’t like needing to keep it updated.

I work in IT, I don’t want to work at home.

So I moved to using Steam, but due to network issues on my end that didn’t work, so we moved to Discord.

By playing you are contributing to other players enjoyment and engagement in the game passively encouraging them to buy hats

My much more resonable goal is to never play Roblox.

Good day to everyone except to the neo-liberals always btiching about .ml being a communist instance, we don’t care about your oppinions.

Damn, you write a lot about people you don’t care about.

As I noted, that only works with a limited set of AI companies.

They need to be in the juristiction of whatever government that decide to enforce the laws, if not, there is very little that can be done.

Then, besides needing to be in the right juristiction, the punnishment needs to be large enough that you can’t just budget it away.

Then any country doing this will know that they are deliberately getting rid of an important sector, while other countries will continue running their sectors.

Which will only be possible with good old fashioned bouble bursting as I said.

The issue with legally pulling the plug is that it won’t stop AI baddies, only good AI companies who respect the law.

The knowledge and tools are still out there.

But when the bouble bursts it will tank AI globally.

Why not call it a “shutter button”?

“Just one more training on a social network”

Can’t wait for the bouble to burst.

Sure, but is that due to a better product, cheaper product or a better political landscape?

I am leaning on the latter two options.

If it was listed incorrectly as a feature that could be turned on or off and it was a bug, then the bugfix would seem to be making it listed correctly as a feature that can be turned on or off.

“Looking to upstage Apple”

I am sure Huawei will run a good presentation, but I have severe doubts about “upstaging”, especially since we don’t know what Huawei will launch.

Please notice that I spoke about the configuration of the DE/VM, I have learned a lot about DE/VM confug from looking at different distros

This is not just one simple question.

You need to break it down into smaller tasks.

First things first, you need to get data from a Pixelfed instance, ok, start by looking up how to connect to the Pixelfed API.

Once you have a way to connect to the API, you need to request the data you need.

Once you have the data, look at the actual data, do you need to do extra formating?

Once you have the data, it is time to get/build the display.

Once you have the display, you need to figure out how to get your computer to talk to it, is it as simple as just sending the number to the serial port or do you need to use something like the GPIO interface on a Raspberry pi?

It sounds as you want to evaluate different Linux Distributions.

DE/GUI is a good one, terminal commands is a bit useless since the vast majority of Linux systems use Bash as default.

This is what I would look into on a new distro:

UI - What DE or WM is it using, what is the default config like, and try to learn from that. How is the terminal prompt configured (the default Ubuntu and Debian prompts are terrible, I allways change them)

Package Manager - how does it work, what software is available?

Unique software - Does the distribution include some tools, applications or games I haven’t heard about? If so, what do they do, and how do they work.

This gives me a feel for the distribution and how to use it.

Sigh, does that mean I have to block that entire instance as well?

Are there any active english communities there?

It is almost as if there has been about 2 decades of technological development since you last used that kind of tech.

I own the original CD release of Unreal Tournament 2004, made by Epic, it includes a native Linux installer on disc, you get the full game, and it worked fine.

It makes me so sad that they did a complete 180 on this.

I like that https://penisland.net/ still use the same URL.

I am not angry.

In general I am content, I have learned to live a lonely life, and while I am dealing with long term, low intencity depression from that, I have found ways to distract myself from thinking about it.

If I do, then I will cry, though I have long since started seeing crying as a strength rather than a weakness. It gets rid of pent up emotional energy and calms you down.
