Yeah I feel like anyone who blames Linus for this is missing the point. Was it dumb, yes, but if we want the average (or even a bit tech-savy) Windows gamer to transition to Linux then the distro they use needs to be resistant to this. Most people don’t read shit, they just want things to work so they can play their games. And they’ll happily click through multiple warnings to get there.

Fun fact, this loop is kinda how one of the generative ML algorithms works. This algorithm is called Generative Adversarial Networks or GAN.

You have a so-called Generator neural network G that generates something (usually images) from random noise and a Discriminator neural network D that can take images (or whatever you’re generating) as input and outputs whether this is real or fake (not actually in a binary way, but as a continuous value). D is trained on images from G, which should be classified as fake, and real images from a dataset that should be classified as real. G is trained to generate images from random noise vectors that fool D into thinking they’re real. D is, like most neural networks, essentially just a mathematical function so you can just compute how to adjust the generated image to make it appear more real using derivatives.

In the perfect case these 2 networks battle until they reach peak performance. In practice you usually need to do some extra shit to prevent the whole situation from crashing and burning. What often happens, for instance, is that D becomes so good that it doesn’t provide any useful feedback anymore. It sees the generated images as 100% fake, meaning there’s no longer an obvious way to alter the generated image to make it seem more real.

Sorry for the infodump :3

The people who use it happily don’t make memes about it. I do have some weird errors every now and then, it’s definitely not as stable for me as X11. However X11 wasn’t very smooth with my multi monitor setup, and Wayland improved the smoothness of my PC enormously, so the random issues every now and then are worth it

Is it? I doubt there are many fibers in there. Unless you count the tomato sauce it doesn’t really contain a lot of vegetables either. I’d be really surprised if tomato sauce on the average pizza is healthy, it’s probably so over processed that all the fibers and vitamins etc are gone and it’s just a big carb nuke. And a pizza contains too much fat as well. A good pizza might be decent compared to most fast food, but I can’t imagine the average fastfood or supermarket pizza being a healthy meal.

Oh really? I did have fun with the Outer Worlds. Nothing too amazing, but it was fun enough to keep me invested. Parvati was also a large reason for that, I loved her character.

When do I get my Arch socks? Also, I should try Nix based off this image (which is a trustworthy source of course).

Not sure tbh. I think I’m quite a bit above Dutch average, though definitely not amazing at it either. From these I’d know kitten, puppy, calf, foal, lamb, piglet, chick, cub and fawn. Though kitten, puppy, calf, and lamb are similar or equal to the Dutch word. No idea what “kit” is. But I wouldn’t use some of these words myself because they’re not really part of my normal speaking/writing vocabulary.

They look so cool. I can’t find that specific emoji yet but I noticed some other cool ones as well 🤦🧝🧚🧜🧑‍🎤. It’s so cool that there are gender neutral emoji

Uhmmm maybe it’s because I’m not native English or just dumb, but this wording confused me greatly. I figured that young goat was the only interpretation that made sense since the image didn’t show a human kid, but for non-native speakers like me it’s a bit of a weird sentence.

No problem :3

What you’re describing is aesthetic attraction I think. Platonic attraction is more like advanced friendship afaik, more based on personality.

Well that would explain things :3

Yeah but what to wear when it’s in the washing machine or drying. I’d need at least 2 sets :3

When you don’t care about the truth you don’t have put so much energy into maintaining quality

Got me there

Would I have multiple sets? Wearing the same clothes for a week would not be very hygienic

Then at least it’s their own fault

Every guy wants to dress up and be a cute witch or princess (right?).

Yeah that’s a bit much tbh. Personally I find the train to be way too loud usually. Other people talking, train noises, maybe a screaming baby or something. I’ll just listen to some music and stare out of the window (if it isn’t dark).

Two minute papers has really gone down the drain. Or my perspective changed. I used to love the channel, but it got increasingly clickbaity and shallow. Rather than explaining the contents of the papers the videos became hype talks that made it all sounds way more impressive and revolutionairy than it was.
