Grimpen, (edited ) to linux in Which terminal emulator do you use?

#1, whatever is default. The main advantage of the terminal is that it’s just a terminal, fundamentally the same terminal since the dawn of computing.

Having said that, I do sometimes install a non-default terminal. I haven’t seen any of them mentioned:

cool-retro-termIt looks like an OG CRT! What other terminal emulator has this killer feature?

Byobu Technically a front end for tmux, but it gives some useful status info and multiple windows.

Ubuntu was the distribution that had me switch from dual-booting with Windows as default to dual-booting with Linux as default.

I also remember ordering an actual Ubuntu disc, with the extra donation to fund the mailing for free program.

Now years later after lots of distro-hopping I just run Ubuntu LTS, and stay on the very boring LTS branch.

It kind of makes sense. First I’ve ever heard about Ubuntu Christian Edition as well, but it seems to mostly be set up with filtering in mind, with the DNS tools and such. Add in productivity software aimed at preaching I guess, and you have a “safe” OS for kids and the laptop hooked up to the projector at a church.

SATAN’s popularity diminished after the 1990s.

Grimpen, to piracy in Yo, ho! Yo ho! A pirates life for me...

Exactly right! Maybe the EU will save us all. It seems somehow monopolistic that Disney+ is the exclusive official streaming service for so much. I guess this is why Netflix put so much into Netflix originals.

I’d like to at least see some requirements for open licensing of shows, such as maybe a sunset period or something.

Grimpen, to mensliberation in Poll finds that fewer Gen Z boys identify as Feminists than Millenials-- and the same % as Gen X.

That’s what I’d assume. My impression is that many Gen-Z might associate the term “Feminism” with J.K. Rowling and such, Trans-Exclusionary feminists as it were. If there were questions that could suss out concern about trans issues, or even LGBT+ issues in general, I suspect the differences between generation might match.

I believe our adventure through time has taken a most serious turn.

Grimpen, to piracy in BitTorrent Pirates Won’t Receive ISP Warnings (It Will Be Something Worse)

Good to know. I was joking since they sponsor so many YouTubers.

I usually recommend looking at TorrentFreak’s VPN reviews.

Seed box or VPN should be options.

Grimpen, (edited ) to linux in Firefox needs a 180° turn to full privacy out of the box. - Feddit

It wouldn’t be terrible, as long as it’s based on an open source foundation. Although that depends on the specific open source license. As long as the engine can be forked, the worst of IE6 should be avoidable.

But yes, with Opera moving to Blink, you’ve got really only two-ish browser engines. KHTML/WebKit/Blink and Gecko. WebKit/Blink are Open Source, but I think mostly BSD, so Apple/Google could migrate to a proprietary license easily.

Gecko is MPL, which IIRC is somewhat Copyleft like the GPL, just a bit less stringent.

With the Apple/Google impasse with WebKit/Blink, I think we should be able to avoid an IE6 situation, but I would feel better with a stronger Copyleft license.

As much as I love Firefox, I think Firefox has less browser share than it did back in the IE6 days.

Grimpen, to piracy in I’m sorry, but I cannot help you with finding pirated movies. Piracy is illegal and unethical 😉

AI has been the name for the field since the Dartmouth Workshop in 1956. Early heuristic game AI was AI. Just because something is AI doesn’t mean it is necessarily very “smart”. That’s why it’s commonly been called AI, since before Deep Blue beat Kasparov.

If you want to get technical, you could differentiate between Artificial Narrow Intelligence, AI designed to solve a narrow problem (play checkers, chess, etc.) vs. Artificial General Intelligence, AI designed for “general purpose” problem solving. We can’t build an AGI yet, even a dumb one. There is also the concept of Weak AI or Strong AI.

You are correct though, ChatGPT, Dall-E, etc. are not AGI’s, they aren’t capable of general problem solving. They are much more capable than previous AI technologies, but it’s not SkyNet (yet).

Grimpen, to RedditMigration in Reddit kills awards and coins

I can’t think of anything too maliciously compliant. Maybe give Reddit Gold to posts describing how to join Lemmy or something? Awards should boost visibility. It’s at least a little ironic to use Reddit 's own awards to help people escape.

Grimpen, to dadsplain in What's the Tooth Fairy's going rate these days?

The "normal" rate is a Toonie a Tooth, but subject to the assessment, sometimes it's a fiver.

Some might say it's determined by the Tooth Fairy's ready supply of change, but I'm sure it's because each tooth is individually graded...
