Haven’t had the full experience until you get stuck on Aquilo because you ran out of a resource that’s not naturally occurring there and don’t have enough left to launch another rocket … so now you’re stuck on a frozen-over Aquilo while trying to remotely operate your ships and factories on other planets to make a new supply run for you.
This happens in English as well.
At one point, there was an online tool that could determine if a writing sample was done by a man or a woman, and it was 95% accurate. This was the pre-LLM days, so it was a fairly simple script, just comparing word choices and grammar.
Do you know how to transfer the files back if your OS has completely failed?
Verifying the files are there in your backup is only, like 10% of verifying that it’s a real, usable backup.
The important question is: can you successfully restore those files from the backup? Can you successfully put them back where they’re supposed to be after losing your primary copy?
“Hey big bad guy, wanna see what I’ve got in my lead box?”
BBG: “Huh?”

When you’re doing 30d12 to everything within line of sight, movement penalties become less of a concern.
Let my enemies behold their slowly-approaching, inevitable doom!
At this point, I have to assume they’re doing it on purpose.
Going to become insanely OP when I find a way to make myself immune to radiant damage.
Not entirely, no. But after investor capital dries up, it will become more expensive. So it will only be economically viable if your AI slop spam gains you significant money. And you’re not going to get significant money by posting slop spam to Lemmy.
Eh, list has its place, and I’ll still use it sometimes.
List shows you more files on one screen, and it can show details of the files like filesize and last modified date without having to click on each file to get that.
Well, my fifty cent chromebook doesn’t have a touch screen, so I wouldn’t know.
But I’m using Graphite OS on it, a lightweight Linux variant with a specially tailored kernel to work on old Chromebook hardware, including drivers for all the weird stuff. Everything it has works, even the little special feature buttons and stuff. No longer an actively maintained project, unfortunately, but it works well enough for now. I’d love to see someone revive it with support for more modern Linux kernels. (Unfortunately, I can’t update the kernel without losing some of the special modifications that make it work more efficiently on a chromebook and include chromebook-specific hardware drivers.)
I guess the other main limitation is that the thing’s only internal storage is a whopping 16GB. But Graphite and all the apps I need still fit with ~8GB to spare. And it has an SD card slot, so I can easily add external storage.
And Ubuntu is … also there.
Currently happy with Linux on the old-ass Chromebook I bought for a whopping fifty cents. Works great. Does everything I need it to. Am laughing at Microsoft depreciating old hardware and laughing at new hardware prices.
Might eventually upgrade to a laptop that has a touch screen… But only if it’s under $5.
We need new solutions to adapt to this reality.
Problem should solve itself once investor capital is no longer flooding into these AI companies and subsidizing the cost of generating that text.
Once these spammers have to pay the full cost to generate their LLM-generated spam, it will no longer be financially viable for them to do so for so little return. They’re only doing it now because it’s free or next to free. Having to pay what it actually costs will slow the pervasive AI slop to nearly nothing.
Time to start a new dark web social media network that can only be accessed through TOR.
… I don’t think those are the kind of thoughts she’s having.
Like, a thousand times over. Why does he keep reposting that same shower thought? Why is he so obsessed about that? Is there somewhere else he wants to kiss himself in the mirror?
I think this is satire, based on his ‘humans also use a lot of energy’ statements.
Is someone in pain here?
Maybe I could recommend touching some grass?
The ATF at least had advance notice of the Oklahoma City Bombing, and perhaps had a hand in planning it and carrying it out.
Four most damning points:
ATF employees in the Federal Building were mysteriously seen emptying their offices out the day before. Despite it being a normal weekday and normal workday, none of them happened to be in the office on that particular day.
Despite all the chaos and destruction left in the wake of the bombing (and ongoing search for survivors), they supposedly found the license plate of the rental truck and called the rental company and found out who rented the truck … all within 30 minutes of the explosion. (And this is with 90’s tech, by the way, so it all had to be done over the phone and mostly with paper records.) Within only hours, local police found the (alleged) perpetrator, supposedly in a completely random, unrelated traffic stop. (To me, this reeks of them already knowing exactly who did it and where he was, and them using parallel construction to find a chain of evidence for that which wouldn’t lead back to them.)
The surveillance tapes of several nearby businesses were seized as part of the investigation. That’s fairly normal. What’s not normal is that none of those tapes were ever seen by the public again, not even featuring as evidence in the ensuing court cases. They were collected as evidence and then just … disappeared forever.
With astounding quickness – in less than 30 days – the entire site was bulldozed and paved over, destroying and covering up any evidence that may have been there. It was a huge building, the site of a major disaster, and an active crime scene … and they still managed to turn it into a parking lot within only 30 days.
