I know lemmy has a gigantic hate boner for LLMs, but if you plugged this scenario into a good one (probably not the bog standard “free” chatgpt in bing) you’ll probably get a very entertaining conversation.

I’m surprised some marketing genius at the intel/amd hasnt started using the bigger numbers

My bank used to complain that my browser was out of date. I wrote an email to customer service explaining to them that:

A) debian’s “out of date” browser actually includes all up to date security patches. B) simply reading the browser agent isnt really security. I had simply been spoofing my browser agent to get around their silly browser “security” policy

They removed the browser check 2 weeks later. Not sure if it was because of me

Oops, i was confused. They have a risc-v tablet but shown with a keyboard accessory so it looks like a laptop

Not sure how much this will be but pine64 already has a risc-v development laptop available for a long time

Edit: not a laptop but a tablet

Unfortunately, its their platform and their rules… And not even rules… Their whims.

I dont know why people expect corporations to support anything other than profit. You want free speech? For-profit, non-free platforms aren’t the place to do it

I hope you’re upgrading from debian buster to bullseye!

They cant. Its an addiction or stockholm syndrome

For me, no…

I’ve gone from debian 9 to debian 11 and now debian sid without reinstalling OS on my desktop

Same with my servers. Debian 8 -> 11 all upgrades in-place. Will have to upgrade to 12 soon…

The only time i messed up an upgrade is when accidentally used the codename “bookworm” in the sources file and skipped a major version. The system tried to fully upgrade 2 versions ahead and promptly borked itself… But it was an LXC container so i just rolled back my mistake. Lesson learned…

But yeah. Full re-installs have NEVER been a thing for me since going debian. It will even happily clone to a new SSD when you need to upgrade your hardware. (As long as your new hardware has in-kernel drivers, or at least some basic functionality to boot and fix the problem, if any)

Once people become familar with the basics of linux, they realize that almost anything that these niche distros offer can be accomplished in debian

You’ll always end up on debian. You just dont know it yet

I keep hearing how addictive nicotine is (7x more than heroin??), but in my experience, i never got addicted. Is there something wrong with my brain?

I never smoked two packs a day, but i spent at least 3 years smoking socially (2 or 3 smokes at work every day and then 2 or 3 smokes at the bar on the weekend). So around a pack a week.

But during that time, i could always just take a week or two off if i needed to. I always wanted a smoke (especially with a beer or coffee) but i could resist the urge, no problem.

At the end of the 3 years, i just quit cold turkey. I would keep smoking once in a while with a beer, but i never went back to regular smoking…

Do you only get addicted if you’re smoking a pack a day or more?

I mean, compared to the sterotypical salaryman hours, it is short

Shit must be really bad in japan if this dude is doing OK making just over minimum wage, in the highest (or second highest) cost of living cities in canada…

“product” that doesn’t really work, and which they can’t make any better

LLMs “dont work” because people are promising idiotic things and being used recklessly for things they are not good at. This is like saying a chainsaw is a failed product because it’s not good at slicing sushi

It was obvious from day 1 how useful the Internet would be. Email alone was revolutionary

Hindsight 20/20. There were a lot of people smarter than you and i predicting that the internet was just a fad

I hate the AI hype right now, but to say the entire thing should fail is short sighted.

Imagine people saying the following: “The internet is just hype. I get too much spam emails. I hope the entire thing is a catastrophic failure.”

Imagine we just shut down the entire internet because the dotcom bubble was full of scams and overhyped…
