Why does everyone hate Microsoft for adding LLMs into Windows and spying on users, but not Apple?
  • I think it's because Apple has a "fandom", whereas when's the last time you heard someone being a weird fan of Microsoft outside of Xbox? It just doesn't really exist. The people with Apple devices are often "fans" of Apple, not simply people who bought a product. I think it's that simple.

  • Israeli Scientists Are Shunned by Universities Over the Gaza War
  • China? Really? The country that is delaying shipments to Isreal? The country that is currently refusing to send tech workers to Isreal? The country that has condemned what Isreal is doing? The country that Isreal claims is supplying Hamas with weapons? You think they're going to get this secret special talent from Isreal instead of American Universities? This is a real concern from you?

    Congratulations, you've discovered that you're racist. And very dumb.

  • If you didn't have to work, how would you spend your time?
  • Create and contribute to open source projects.

    Write music.

    Make little video games.

    Write short stories.

    Learn a new language.

    Basically, a lot of stuff I already do as a hobby, but I would have more time/energy to devote

  • Are you a 'tankie'
  • for the purposes of this survey, Dippy is 100% a tankie. Read it in their own words:

    Unfortunately one of the problems with tankies is they don’t call themselves that most of the time.

    No I’m not [a tankie].

    Dippy's a tankie, you heard it here first. This person loves crushing people with tanks. This person is an authoritarian monster that crushes people with tanks. Dippy's actually the tank driver in the tank man photo. Don't look up the video, Dippy 100% crushed that dude. Any video showing tankman walk away is an AI fabrication.

  • Are you a 'tankie'
  • A ridiculous question. "Tankie" isn't a term anyone self-identifies with, it's mostly a term used by liberals to hurl at anyone to the left of them or anyone who agrees with western foreign policy. The survey results will be as meaningless as the term "tankie" itself.

  • What is/was your distrohopping journey?
  • I used Ubuntu for a long time, because it was easy to use and I wasn't really a power user on linux (was just using it on a cheap laptop for classes a long time ago). When I built a server for myself recently, I didn't really explore distros and plopped Ubuntu on it.

    More recently, I got a new laptop and ended up installing Fedora on it. So far, I like Fedora a lot. I know there's probably a better distro out there for me, but this one worked without fiddling and I'm liking it a lot more than Ubuntu. Ubuntu snaps kinda screwed my server for a year or so. I need to replace Ubuntu on that soon, I'm just not looking forward to dealing with that so it silently stays Ubuntu.

  • Biden's 5 year plan
  • He is implying that putting a 100% tarrif on cheap dogshit EV’s made with near literal slave labor negates China’s unfair advantage. Not to mention the Chinese stole the fuck out of the IP required to make them.

    You've invented a completely new reality (none of this is stated in the tweet) while claiming the same of the original post.

  • What's your most unpopular opinion about music ?
  • We're in the best time to listen to music. There's amazing stuff out there. It just doesn't come to you automatically, you've got to seek it out.

    Now, it's a pretty bad time to be an artist trying to make a living. But it's also the easiest time to DIY music.

  • What's the best way to remote into a linux machine?

    Not just the terminal, I mean a full remote desktop. What's the best method? Not just from one linux machine to another machine, but also remoting from a windows machine to a linux machine.

    I'm a bit of a linux novice, but trying to do more.
