onlinepersona, to linuxmemes in Repurposing your laptop trans rights style 😎🏳️‍⚧️

What’s up with these trans-memes surrounding linux? Are they just a loud minority?

fosforus,

Isn’t it obvious? Linux turns people trans.

Or is it trans people turn their systems to Linux?

Is it the chicken or the egg?

jack, (edited )

Open-minded people can get into linux. You also have to be open-minded to consider being trans. My take is that linux and being trans are not directly influencing each other, but both increase your open-mindedness separately which in turn drives you towards more open topics generally

Trans etc. are always a minority, obviously. They would not have to fight for their rights otherwise.

No idea why they are so highly visible here. Probably highly concentrated in Lemmy.

14th_cylon,

Trans etc. are always a minority, obviously. They would not have to fight for their rights otherwise.

no one should have to fight for their right, but that doesn’t change the fact that non-trans people enjoy customizing their os as well. so answer to the original question is yes, it is a loud minority.

It’s IT wages and being able to take a break and think about oneself. When Twitter was called Twitter and I’ve been there, the core population of trans, lgbt+, kink, furry, whatever communities were those who could afford a brief moment to think about themselves, these later magnfied other folks who aren’t as well-off. Being gay or trans is natural as our science says, but understanding you are gay or trans means you have enough time, resources, safety to even discover you are one, not to say about presenting as one in public. Tech persons have a natural advantage here over a doordash delivery guy, but as they show it’s possible, many poorer persons show up too. And it’s not a coincidence Lemmy is popular in these communities, as it’s not only a tech-gated space, it’s also a promising safe space where they can be whoever they want without social pressure.

    A lot of gender-floaty people work in IT, because they feel at home with the other socially-inept people like me.

    And a lot of people who work in IT use Linux.

    So there is a ton of overlap.

    it’s just a meme. although there is perhaps a higher percentage of trans people using linux, perhaps due to the correlation with autism or because they’re attracted to less opressive alternative safe spaces in general

    Phanlix, to linuxmemes in Crash reporting

    I’d love to switch to linux. But I love the video games, and I’m a pirate, because I’m broke. Until Linux gets real support for games, I can’t join.

    ExperimentalGuy,

    Dual boot or vm or use proton. The steam deck uses Linux and uses proton. I haven’t had a game not run smoothly while using proton either.

    Phanlix,

    Knowing that steamdeck uses Linux does give me hope. I’m rocking a 3080ti though, how’s that Nvidia support coming along these days?

    Next build will likely be AMD, but unfortunately I build PCs to last.

    My first PC had dual 660s SLI, which was over 16 years ago and can still handle most AAA games. Baldurs Gate 3 was the first to make it run in low graphics.

    My second PC was built when the 1080ti came out and that’s still running my VR room.

    This PC I just built is similarly designed to last upwards of a decade, and still will be a contender after that. So maybe another 7 to 10 years before I build a Linux PC .

    I’m old enough to remember when wine came out and how excited everyone was we were finally going to have games in Linux lol.

    nogrub,

    i have a 2080 super in my main pc and a 3050 ti in my laptop both work fine

    Phanlix,

    distro?

    nogrub,

    endevaros with i3 and propaiatory nvidia drivers

    ExperimentalGuy,

    Nvidia support’s pretty good honestly from my experience. I have a 2000s series in my computer rn and I haven’t run into any issues honestly

    Phanlix,

    Seriously? Hmmmmm well I guess we’ll try linux for the umpteenth time again. I’m seeing some new program names and processes here since last time I tried, so who knows? It may actually be up to the task for my day to day. That’d be nice, I’m not a fan of cloud based Operating systems. I bought my hardware, I like to own it, not give it to whatever software corp is installed on it.

    ExperimentalGuy,

    Yeah it was honestly weird for me too bc I had always heard that you need to go team red if you want to use Linux but i don’t know if it’s that everyone else is lying or I’m amazing but I’ll just assume I’m goated with the sauce

    kjetil,

    The Nvidia driver has very good performance, and for most usecases it’s… Fine. But it does bring extra hoops and issues. There’s a reason many distros have started to ship the “normal ISO” and the “nVidia ISO”.

    The nVidia driver also uses kernel modules, which can interfere with secure boot.

    And many modern features are developed for Wayland-only: Mixed refresh rate, mixed fractional scaling, HDR etc. And nVidia is behind on Wayland support, since they only recently decided to cave on and use the same pipeline as AMD/Intel instead of their own.

    asexualchangeling,

    Nvidia can have it’s issues, but 1) they’re few and far between, and 2) they’re getting better all the time

    Just so long as you didn’t want to play Starfield on release week

    Phanlix, (edited )

    so I decided to try linux. After reading a bit I decided that Fedora sounded like the distro for me with the top ‘spin’.

    Black screen. Not Nvidea compatible out of the box. Booted into ‘basic graphics’. Looks like total ass on 800x600. Tried to follow a tutorial to get it running, but it didn’t want to make changes to the USB version and wanted me to full boot. I didn’t want to full wipe my windows just yet, but we’re getting there. Found a tutorial about using some semi-auto process to do it, so wish me luck.

    I bet this goes like last time though, given that I already can’t even run Linux out of the goddamn box on what is one of the most popular graphics card series ever. I bet I get frustrated trying to make half my shit work like an xbox controller because nothing, and I repeat nothing on this trash OS works without some level of headache.

    For giggles I tried nobara linux which bills itself as a fully configured gaming version of fedora. Unsurprisingly it had a kernel error when booting from USB off the rip lol.

    “Few and far issues between” = completely doesn’t work at all on the what is arguably the top linux distro today, sounds about right.

    kjetil,

    Sounds like you’ve been very unlucky. Even the open-source Nvidia driver should work out of the box and look OK. Performance is ass, but it’s good enough for a usable desktop experience (usable enough to install the proprietary nVidia driver, which at least on Ubuntu’s are just a few clicks in the GUI)

    Instead of going Fedora, try PopOS. PopOS has a special ISO for nVidia graphics. Trying to “install” the Nvidia driver yourself on a live USB boot is not the way to go. I doubt it’s even possible.

    I’ve been on (K)Ubuntu, and XBox controllers have literally just been plug and play. I could even use the KDE game controller settings page to compensate for the drift in my left joystick.

    Another option is Bazzite, which is a version of Fedora Immutable (“Silverblue”) that comes with all the bells and whistles for gaming, including Nvidia drivers. However the immutable part may or may not be to your taste.

    dukk,

    Second this. System76 themselves sell multiple machines with Nvidia cards, so they have at least some incentive to make it work.

    I see Fedora recommended quite a bit, but setting it up on my younger family member’s laptop was bot exactly simple, and setting up his game library proved near impossible.

    PopOS just worked. I try not to be too pushy about Linux, but as someone who was pushed into (and now loves) using Linux, I’d suggest giving it one more shot. (I still dual-boot: keep a small Windows partition for the occasional need).

    zbecker,
    @zbecker@mastodon.zbecker.cc avatar

    @dukk @kjetil

    Yeah is nontrivial when dealing with proprietary drivers. It doesn't just work out of the box. Your best bet if you want to use Fedora and have an easier gaming experience is .

    dukk,

    I think OP(original commenter?) mentioned they tried Nobara, but it wouldn’t even boot.

    My consistent recommendation to Linux newcomers is PopOS, it’s a simple, great distros that can be powerful when needed.

    (I myself use Nix btw)

    guskikalola,
    @guskikalola@vivaldi.net avatar

    @dukk @zbecker I use arch btw. I would recommend Ubuntu for new users, as it was my first distro. But I don't know whats Ubuntu's current state.

    dukk,

    I don’t tend to recommend Ubuntu anymore: mainly because of snaps.

    I had a weird start with Linux, using it on my Pi and then eventually just installing NixOS as my first distro. A weird first choice, but honestly it makes even advanced tasks trivial(I can switch my WM/DE in one line!)

    guskikalola,
    @guskikalola@vivaldi.net avatar

    @dukk My first Linux experience was with Ubuntu, as my old laptop couldn't handle Windows anymore. Then I also got a RPI but by that time I already bought a better PC and left Linux. After some years tinkering with the rpi I finally became confident enough to dual boot Kubuntu. Now I only have Linux on my computers ( arch in both pc and laptop )

    Phanlix,

    Sounds like you’ve been very unlucky.

    No, this is my Linux experience since I first installed ubuntu in 2005. I’ve tried at least 5 times to pick up this hot garbage and it ends the same way every time. With admission of defeat and an eventual return to an OS that works, which would be windows or mac.

    WarlordSdocy,

    I tried dual booting for a while but eventually I just stopped using the Linux side. Didn’t really have a reason to switch over when everything worked fine on Windows. Id just keep using windows after I used whatever software or game only worked on windows cause it was just more convenient. I did really like Linux and there were a lot of really cool things about it but until Linux reaches a point where all the big games, both on and off steam, work on Linux without having to follow some guide I just don’t think it’s for me.

    ExperimentalGuy,

    Ya that makes sense. I find a lot of my work is mostly stuff that’s easier to use on Linux, like spinning up VMs or just programming in general. What programs do you use that aren’t compatible or dont have an alternative on Linux?

    WarlordSdocy,

    It was mostly games (mainly Microsoft ones, no surprise there) and the fact that at the time I was going to college for game programming, so needed to use stuff like Unity and Unreal Engine. Which I think I saw with Unreal Engine you can make it work on Linux but you had to like compile it yourself and I didn’t want to deal with running into problems with that since I was using it for my classes. Although now that I’ve graduated I might give it a try, see if anything has changed since I last gave Linux a shot. Just seems like in general a lot of game development stuff is done more on Windows unless you’re not using a commercial engine.

    ExperimentalGuy,

    Omg yeah that makes sense. I have the same thing but with excel, one of my classes it’s like a must have so I just pop open a VM to get it running bc I don’t want to figure out how to wine it. I’m using PopOS rn and it’s really easy to use and install drivers, so if you’re gonna get back into a Linux distro I’d def recommend that.

    WarlordSdocy,

    Pop Os was actually what I used before funnily enough and yeah I found it really nice. Probably will try that again when I get the chance.

    BURN,

    Exact same thing here. Once I needed to reboot multiple times per day to use my computer I’m just angry and unhappy with the tool that’s no longer doing the job I need it to.

    Since the games I play are primarily windows only, I stuck with the side I spend most of my time in.

    Many free games require anticheat, things like Warzone and Valorant, for instance.

    Titou,
    @Titou@feddit.de avatar

    also the games who require more gaming specs than they should

    drcabbage,

    With proton, Linux can play almost all games just fine. Is it 100%? No. But it is good enough to no longer make that an excuse anymore.

    Phanlix,

    I’ve been trying for 3 hours to get fedora installed with working Nvidia drivers. Fuck Linux users and their bullshit elitist attitude, this OS is nowhere near user friendly

    CatTrickery,

    Nobara has them preconfigured. Fedora just makes it tricky because of licencing issues and if you aren’t bothered, you may as well use Nobara.

    Phanlix,

    I couldn’t even get the live version of Nobara to work. The live USB just said “kernel error”.

    Holzkohlen,

    Just get a distro which ships them by default. I am once again gonna shill Garuda Linux - feels like I do this a couple of times each week.

    Phanlix,

    Garuda Linux

    I may eventually check that out. I was hoping to use a basic version of Linux then configure it for gaming myself to learn a bit, but am quickly realizing that Linux is still as absolutely unfriendly and unusable as it was 20 years ago.

    weker01,

    OK that’s just user error: I want to do what experts are doing but it isn’t easy. Why are these experts so elitist! Cry me a river.

    There are a lot of pre-made solutions that are user friendly smh

    Phanlix,

    Name them. Because nothing I can find on any forum is working.

    It’s funny you have to be an expert to get basic functionality lol

    guskikalola,
    @guskikalola@vivaldi.net avatar

    @Phanlix @Holzkohlen Sorry but I can't agree with you on the user friendly side. KDE and Gnome ( to name a few ) have made incredible advancements on that side. While its true some commands are still required, once you get used GNU/Linux imo is better than Windows ( I love being able to install lots of software from one single place, the package manager ).

    You should take small steps, dont try to rush your learning experience, enjoy it. If you want to become proficient with a completly different ideology of an OS as Linux is compared to Windows.. dont even try Linux, you are going to suffer

    Phanlix,

    How do you map a network drive? I’ve literally put 8 hours of my fucking life trying to figure it out and I can’t get it to work. It’s a must have thing for me to stay in Linux.

    guskikalola, (edited )
    @guskikalola@vivaldi.net avatar

    @Phanlix I guess you want to mount it so it can be accessed. In that case you need to know what type of protocol its using. Im going to make a guess and say samba.
    In that case you need to search for samba documentation for your distro, funny right? Many steps.. but not complex.

    I believe you said you were using Fedora, then once again Im guessing, you are using Gnome.
    Gnome means Nautilus is your file explorer's name.

    The following link is about how to add it on Nautilus, for the smbclient package you should search whats the Fedora equivalent.

    https://mangolassi.it/topic/19398/how-to-mount-a-windows-share-in-nautilus-on-ubuntu

    guskikalola,
    @guskikalola@vivaldi.net avatar

    @Phanlix Hope it does ^^
    And don't get frustrated, take this as a way to learn new things. You always have Windows or MacOS, but at least give Linux a try, there are some incredible people who make guides from which you can learn lots of things in the Linux community.
    The Arch Wiki is a very good source, even if its for Arch you can apply some of its knowledge to other distros

    Phanlix, (edited )

    Lol it didn’t work.

    I’m done. Linux is trash. Can’t even do something out of the box that windows has been doing since windows 2000.

    I can get this working on Mac, windows and android. Linux has no excuses

    guskikalola,
    @guskikalola@vivaldi.net avatar

    @Phanlix Well thats sad. Probably if you could show the error someone more experienced than me in gnome or fedora could help.

    Can I recommend you to switch to another distro ( for what I just read from other user, PopOS seems to be good for newbies ) or DE? KDE is a DE which look very similar to Windows and I had 0 problem mounting my samba and nfs drives.

    Phanlix,

    I’m probably going to end back up on windows.

    Did download PopOS though, it already beats the hell out of Fedora because off the rip Nvidia just works.

    However I still cannot connect to my network drive. I can see it fine in +other locations, but when I open it it says “unable to access location: failed to mount windows share: software caused connection abort”

    Phanlix,

    Holy crap I got it to work. smbv1 is not enabled by default on Linux.

    Once I went through the tutorial and added

    client min protocol = NT1 server min protocol = NT1

    to smb.conf, it worked and I could connect!

    Sadly it still wouldn’t accept my username and password, but I set it to allow anon login and that’s working 100% right now. So… just need to figure out why it won’t accept username and password. Moment of truth comes when I test VLC again too.

    guskikalola,
    @guskikalola@vivaldi.net avatar

    @Phanlix YAY!! So happy you finally managed to get it working

    Phanlix,

    Thanks lol, stream is working great too, much better than Fedora. Way less choppy and it doesn’t crash when you seek on VLC, so Pop!OS is clearly the superior distro here.

    I do need to figure out the login eventually. I need read/write access and as anon I can’t write, but I’ll come back to that. I’m getting a ton of stuff set up now.

    AlijahTheMediocre,

    “Nvidia” and “Linux” in the same message is the problem I am seeing here.

    Long story short be mad at Nvidia for not having properly supported drivers, they only just allowed opensource drivers but its very much still alpha software.

    Phanlix,

    They’re literally releasing official versions for Linux. I’m not going to be mad at Nvidia, I’m going to be mad at the Linux community at this point for saying in another thread where I was asking about Nvidia support, and they responded 'nah shouldn’t be an issue, there are only rarely Nvidia issues. Fucking. Liars.

    AlijahTheMediocre,

    Official versions sure, but proprietary and they only work with X11 which is essentially deprecated.

    Wayland is replacing X11, Nvidia has made no serious attempts to support Wayland in their proprietary drivers. Fedora, Ubuntu, and now Debian (the core three) have all moved to Wayland by default.

    Phanlix,

    So what you’re saying is don’t use Linux if you’re on Nvidia, got it.

    weker01,

    Nvidia does take serious steps to support Wayland. Only since like half a year ago and not extremely fast but serious steps non the less.

    weker01,

    I only had a driver issue with Nvidia once in more than 10 years running Linux with Nvidia exclusively (need Nvidia for Cuda (and Cuda for work)) and that was fixed by temporarily downgrading

    Phanlix,

    I’ve been tested Linux since 2005 every time I have to reinstall windows and I’ve never once been able to get Nvidia to work easily. I’ve done it but it’s always been a bitch and a half.

    BURN,

    I wish I had that experience. I’ve had issues on every machine/distro I’ve tried to get NVidia working on. Fedora, Manjaro, Mint, Ubuntu, you name it, there’s been driver issues.

    Apparently newer cars (20 series or newer) have a lot more problems

    weker01,

    Currently I’ve a 3090 before that I had a 1060 and the 3090 I bought almost at release. I genuinely never had a problem.

    I hate saying this because of the all the toxic attitudes around but I ran gentoo and now arch Linux. Maybe they package the proprietary driver better?

    yuriy,

    I’ve had literally one instance of linux not playing well with nvidia drivers, and I was running a version of ubuntu more than a year out of updates. Switched to popOS and everything works out the box.

    There’s distros confirmed to work for just about every setup, just find one of them to start with rather than troubleshooting yourself in the foot.

    drcabbage,

    I wouldn’t say elitist, when most Linux users are trying to get more people to use it. Most are just trying to help show there are better ways, and you have options, instead of just taking whatever shit Microsoft gives you.

    If you are perfectly happy with Windows, by all means stick to it. It’s a fine operating system. However, if you can get through the learning curve and accept not all hardware manufacturers will support Linux well. It opens up a lot of power and capabilities.

    Phanlix,

    It can’t even do basic shit like mount a network drive. Trash OS is trash. I adapted to Mac just fine and android just fine. This bullshit OS will never be made easy to use, that much is apparent.

    vaionko, (edited )

    It can’t even do basic shit like mount a network drive.

    I use KDE and mounting a network drive in dolphin was very easy. Not difficult in nautilus either

    Phanlix,

    Try a samba v1 network drive and get back to me.

    drcabbage,

    You can use the file manager program or the disk utility for a permanent mount. It works a bit differently than windows. However, it sounds like you are not willing to learn. So I would recommend sticking to Windows.

    Phanlix, (edited )

    You should check out my submissions. I’m on day 3 of documenting my linux experience.

    It wasn’t a simple fix. The drive was off an ASUS router which uses samba v1 and the fix was reenabling it via editing the text files, then the specific mount command in fstab required a ‘ver=1’ argument to be manually placed in there.

    So no my assessment that this is not an easy process is spot on, and I’ve spent 3 days setting up and configuring linux at this point, all of which I could have done in an hour in Windows.

    drcabbage,

    Yeah, for sure, complex things like that require jumping into config files such as the fstab. Very nice you figured it out! I’ve been there too.

    I don’t doubt it would be faster and easier to do in Windows when the router manufacturer intended for users to be using Windows. You are going against the grain sometimes when using Linux, but it is ever so much more satisfying when you do get it working :)

    Phanlix,

    …there’s a faq on the router itself that told me how to do it in windows. That was show I got on the right path for Linux. So yes definitely easier when the manufacturer includes instructions for one but not the other. Granted the windows process is significantly easier to get it enabled.

    gunpachi,

    Just use Bottles or Heroic Launcher to play the pirated games on your computer. Most of the games I tried have worked.

    The only exceptions are Multiplayer games like Apex and valorant. Apex is not smooth enough to play competitively (last I checked was a few months ago) and Valorant doesnt work on Linux because of it’s rootkit anti cheat. If you only play single player games Linux is definitely worth a shot.

    If it weren’t for a few Multiplayer games and my crappy epson printer I’d have completely wiped windows off of my computer.

    cmnybo, to askelectronics in TP4056 useless protection circuit?

    The drains in the 8205 MOSFET are connected together internally. In a DW01 circuit, they are not connected to anything else.
    One MOSFET stops the battery from charging and the other stops it from discharging.

    Rolive,

    Yes that I found as well but have/had trouble understanding why it would be built like this. Also why a MOSFET would be designed internally like this. If you want more power capability you’d get a bigger MOSFET rather than two tiny ones in parallel right?

    This page helped me understand the setup. I’ll post it here just for informational purpose. It took me a while to find this. …stackexchange.com/…/dual-mosfet-8205a-lithium-ba…

    It’s related to the internal body diode of the N channel mosfet, so two of them are in series but reversed. When one MOSFET is activated, current may flow easily in one direction but be reduced by the body diode of the other. When both are activated, current may flow easily in either direction.

    It seems they don’t really prevent discharging or charging separately due to the body diodes but they can cut off the battery alltogether.

    cmnybo,

    The MOSFETs are in series, but in opposite polarities. Two MOSFETs are needed to block current in both directions.

    The DW01 uses the voltage drop across the MOSFETS to measure the current. The overcurrent threshold voltage is fixed at 150mV. Using a larger MOSFET that has a lower RDS(on) will increase the current limit.

    Hot take: AI good. Every mentioned problem with AI actually stems from capitalism.

    TheFogan,

    I do agree on the whole, It’s the next phase of automation. The real problem stems from the fact that we hold onto the system where a tiny handful of people get the full benefit of the productivity, while the others are paid in time incriments which value goes down with demand, so as more jobs are automated or assisted (to allow more work with less people), supply demand devalues the labor.

    Overshoot2648,

    This is why I support worker ownership and cooperatives rather than corporate ownership. I think we need to shift towards a Mutualist economy rather than a Capitalist one.

    Daxtron2,

    Yep, it’s always the fault of the people using it for bad deeds.

    regbin_,

    It’s not about using it for bad deeds as any other tool like a kitchen knife can be used the same way. It’s more to the necessity to work in order to live.

    Chakravanti, (edited )

    No. It stems from closed source software. True, however, that stems from capitalism. Without that we’d be good friends with AI and fix all the obvious problems we caused. Then do like Bill Hicks said and explore space.

    cyclohexane,

    Open source AI can still be problematic under capitalism. It can still be developed to disproportionally favor the ruling class and used to disproportionally benefit them

    Chakravanti, (edited )

    facepalm

    It’s the ONLY method to deal with Closed Source. It can be used to end capitalism. It can be used to end money entirely.

    Do it ALL FOSS now, or else…EOTW. End of story. Literally.

    PeriodicallyPedantic,

    Making it FOSS wouldn’t solve the problem, because FOSS tools can still be used by capitalists to displace workers and erode worker bargaining power.

    This is true of pretty much EVERY tool, but never has a tool had the potential to negatively impact so many in such a diversity of roles.

    So again, the problem isn’t closed source, the problem is capitalism. If you fixed the problems of capitalism, then all software tools would naturally be FOSS, but that’s a product of fixing the problems, not the mechanism to fix the problems.

    Chakravanti,

    Do you even know what FOSS is?

    PeriodicallyPedantic,

    Free Open Source Software. Do you even know what capitalism is?

    Chakravanti,

    i know what they say it is. i also know it really is.

    PeriodicallyPedantic,

    If you think FOSS can solve capitalism’s issues, you either don’t know what FOSS is or you don’t know what capitalism’s problems are.

    Chakravanti,

    FOSS can certainly be used to create that which can fix capitalist issues. I’m just done talking to you about it. You’re adamant against shit and I’m not interested in a fight.

    PeriodicallyPedantic,

    Cute little moving of the goalposts, there. Im not sure what you think I’m “adamant against”, but sure.

    Chakravanti,

    I don’t bother to determine the target of such. Merely that it exists.

    PeriodicallyPedantic,

    Lol does such vacuous psudointelligent talk get you much success in your circles?

    I am adamant against capitalism, and I’m pro-FOSS. but I’m not delusional about the ability of FOSS to fix capitalist issues, I’m pro-FOSS because it’s a more-ethical way to make software.

    You read like a teenager who just learned about FOSS and think it’s going to change the world all by itself.

    Chakravanti,

    I’ve been doing this a decade and a half now. I have the experience of idiots discussing this issue with zero awareness or even more likely, a tangentially opposite direction I expect is nothing less than a three letter spam lie.

    PeriodicallyPedantic,

    By “this” you’ve been doing FOSS for a decade and a half? And yet you’re unable to provide even a hint of a shred of evidence that FOSS would meaningfully solve or even alleviate the issues with modern capitalism? Paint me skeptical.

    I haven’t been working on FOSS projects the whole time, but I’ve been doing software development for over 15 years, not including my time in university, so I’m not unfamiliar with the subject.

    The burden of proof is on you. You’re the one making the claim, and I’ve also mentioned the patently obvious fact that capitalists use FOSS products to “improve efficiency” (reduce headcount) just to get the ball rolling.

    Chakravanti,

    And yet you’re unable…

    Unable =/= Unwilling to discuss with someone unworthy of speaking to even a minute. You have, thus far, made it past that but I’m not at a moment I’m able to sit down and more thoroughly explain anything let alone diverge into extensive details

    …capitalists use FOSS products…

    You’re not wrong. I’ll give you that. I will not argue with your stance against capitalism. In fact, I stand with you, entirely. FOSS does not hold a stance against capitalism. It can be used by capitalism. However, Anarchy cannot function without FOSS in any digital fashion. Neither can any Revolution or, by a much better success, a Guillotine.

    At the end of the day, any respect given to any Closed Source software is only a literal Suicide. You don’t know shit for running Closed Source software. It may not kill you. It will probably just steal all your money. And the shit will pull it off by your knowledge and consent without accommodating your blatant lack of understanding. In the near future, it will arrange your inevitable death. Choice will be largely irrelevant to such events too boot.

    At the end of the day. FOSS is the only solution because the opposite is that you consent to using software that no one but one mother fucker knows what does. End of Story. Inevitable EOTW.

    PeriodicallyPedantic,

    I feel like we mostly agree with each other, we just don’t agree about the extent to which FOSS is helpful.

    I agree, although perhaps less dramatically, that closed source is harmful, and that you can’t trust it. I agree that FOSS makes trusting software easier (although not trivial, critical vulns can still exist for years), and FOSS helps democratize whatever the software is used for (although in the current capitalist hellscape, software tooling is a relatively small hurdle).

    To me, you don’t need FOSS to build a (literal) guillotine, and you don’t need FOSS to spread flyers. It’s not necessary for a revolution, and recent history seems to show it doesn’t really move us closer to a revolution. I don’t understand the basis for your claims otherwise. Communication benefits from software, and FOSS means that we can trust our tools of communication more, but in the end we still largely depend on ISPs and corporate hardware. People don’t have open source hardware phones, running mobile distros of Linux, loaded with radical app repos, running a massive adhoc p2p communication network.

    I see FOSS as a goal. I want to live in a world where FOSS is the natural state of things, collaborating instead of competing. That is the end state I want to achieve, but it is not itself the solution for achieving that state.

    FOSS is the solution (in microcosm) in the sense that it is a good replacement for capitalism, but not the solution in the sense of doing the work to achieve the end goal.

    Chakravanti,

    I feel like we mostly agree with each other, we just don’t agree about the extent to which FOSS is helpful.

    FOSS is a tool. Tools are useful, not helpful. People can be helpful. Especially with the right tools.

    (although not trivial, critical vulns can still exist for years)

    Because the amount of participants are trivial. If people took FOSS seriously and stopped paying billions of dollars to CS…

    To me, you don’t need FOSS to build a (literal) guillotine, and you don’t need FOSS to spread flyers.

    If you’re using software to do just that, then I’m saying that you’re wrong. If you’re using physical fashions like crafting a club and having a fight with people who agree…

    People don’t have open source hardware phones, running mobile distros of Linux

    I do.

    but not the solution in the sense of doing the work to achieve the end goal

    Well, I AM saying what Richard Stallman has rouhgly in an extended elaborate fashion of much more profuse explanations and statements, that FOSS is necessary to stop CS from being respected let alone relevant to fucking anything digital based on an agreement towards respect for another human’s life without knowing that person. Without needing to know anyone to make that statement. Even I agree with him regarding the subject to which respect is given to people I have the opposite of respect in history denoting such appropriate.

    PeriodicallyPedantic,

    If you’re using software to do just that, then I’m saying that you’re wrong.

    My point was that you don’t need to use software to do just that.

    I do

    You’re not most people. You’re not even most anti-capitalists or revolutionaries. It’s important to stay grounded in the reality of meeting people where they’re at. If you’re expecting your revolution to be populated by tech savvy people, I’ve got some bad news to break to you.

    relevant to fucking anything digital based on an agreement towards respect for another human’s life without knowing that person

    I agree, that’s why FOSS is the ethical choice. But that doesn’t get us closer to a revolution. If I understood your last paragraph, it was a bit hard to follow.

    Chakravanti,

    My point was that you don’t need to use software to do just that.

    And my point is using the reference as a metaphor for something I’m not willing to discuss in this environment. I’m waiitng for SAFENetwork to build a sustainable environment to build a proper revolution.

    I’ve got some bad news to break to you.

    There will never be a meaingful awareness of this shit and everyone will die because bio-/tech/etc.- virus/baked planet/pollution/AI/etc.?

    I know that already. My project is to figure out how to get people to learn what is necessary to survive.

    Guess what? Everyone will die. In less than a decade. Guaren-fucking-teed.

    Revolution is pretty much irrelevant because this will happen either way. It doesn’t fucking matter.

    Counterpoint that be only one I’ve thought of or heard of. FOSS-AI can counter and crack all Closed Source AI and pretty much all personal computers with helpful virus infections that rebuild the target to GNU/Linux.

    Whatever. It don’t matter. Either way I’ll find my soul a whole damn new galaxy cuz I ain’t comin’ back here.

    akariii,

    whenever someone uses a nebulous they, is worth asking: who is “they”?

    Chakravanti,

    Xucking anyone. Doesn’t really matter. People don’t shut the fuck up about it and I’ve never heard anyone say what I did that math on and observed myself occurring relentlessly. I don’t give a shit about what you think it is and I ain’t here to lecture anyone or argue. It is what it is.

    31337,

    Wow, that’s a little too impressive. I’m guessing that image was probably in its training set (or each individual image). There are open training sets with adversarial images, and these images may have come from them. Every time I’ve tried to use ChatGPT with images it has kinda failed (on electronic schematics, plant classification, images of complex math equations, etc). I’m kind of surprised OpenAI doesn’t just offload some tasks to purpose-built models (an OCR or a classification model like inaturalist’s would’ve performed better in some of my tests).

    Mirodir,

    This exact image (without the caption-header of course) was on one of the slides for one of the machine-learning related courses at my college, so I assume it’s definitely out there somewhere and also was likely part of the training sets used by OpenAI. Also, the image in those slides has a different watermark at the bottom left, so it’s fair to assume it’s made its rounds.

    Contradictory to this post, it was used as an example for a problem that machine learning can solve far better than any algorithms humans would come up with.

    Un4, to memes in We must resist

    Tried it on chat gpt 4, here what it thinks:

    This image is a collage that alternates between photos of Chihuahuas and blueberry muffins. The arrangement is such that it plays on the visual similarities between the two, with the muffins and parts of the Chihuahuas (likely their faces) mimicking each other in color and texture. This creates a humorous effect, as it can be initially challenging to differentiate between the muffins and the dogs.

    Starting from the top left corner and moving left to right, row by row:

    1. Blueberry muffin with spots resembling a dog’s eyes and nose.
    2. Face of a Chihuahua with a similar coloration to the muffin.
    3. Blueberry muffin resembling the face of a Chihuahua.
    4. Chihuahua face with a light fur color matching the muffin’s surface.
    5. Chihuahua face with dark eyes and nose similar to blueberry spots.
    6. Muffin with a pattern that resembles a Chihuahua’s facial features.
    7. Chihuahua with an expression and coloring that echoes the appearance of a muffin.
    8. Muffin with blueberries and coloring that looks like a Chihuahua’s face.
    9. Chihuahua with a facial expression and fur colors that mimic a muffin’s texture.
    10. Muffin with blueberries mimicking the eyes and nose of a Chihuahua.
    11. Chihuahua with features that resemble the spots on a muffin.
    12. Muffin resembling a Chihuahua’s face in color and texture.
    13. Close-up of a Chihuahua’s face with colors similar to a blueberry muffin.
    14. Muffin with a pattern of blueberries resembling a Chihuahua’s face.
    15. Chihuahua looking directly at the camera, with fur colors like a muffin.
    16. Two Chihuahuas close together, with their heads resembling muffin tops.
    Un4,

    Conclusion it sometimes gets fooled :)

    letsgo,

    It’s likely seen the image before. Try randomising the image, reversing some of them, altering the gamma, and adding some noise. See how it does then.

    Un4,

    It did make errors, also the training of it is old it’s unlikely that it seen the images

    That’s because shitty people love their dogs deformed, unable to breathe, and with high vet bills. They think it’s cute or purebred.
