I’m pretty comftable with linux mint right now but i want to peruse the wares so to speak, what are some cool or interesting distros that do things differently than mint?...
trans genocide is here now, in biden’s america, and none of you give a fuck! 378 active anti-trans bills right now and none of the liberal “allies” around me EVER speak about it, much less do anything about it. we aren’t a tool for you to use as you please! stop speaking over us you fucking scum bag!
Their job is to enforce the whims of the ownership class under threat of violence. They protect the company at all costs in exchange for power over other working class people and a bigger paycheck. Fuck them, if they really are decent people then they should quit and get a job that actually benefits society.
I read posts about people quitting jobs because they’re boring or there is not much to do and I don’t get it: what’s wrong with being paid for doing nothing or not much at all?...
What’s wrong with reading a book, writing poetry or a novel, exercising, playing with the smartphone… and going home to enjoy your hobbies fully rested?
I tried doing these sorts of things and was punished for it. If I can’t find work to do, then the only thing I’m allowed to do is stand (not sit) at my station until something happens.
If you had an AGI waifu similar to the one by SchizoDev, or reminiscent of Scarlett Johansson's character in the movie "Her" or Ana de Armas' character Joi in Blade Runner 2049, capable of providing accurate answers without fabrications, effortlessly finding any information from the internet, and creating media tailored...
I have no problem admitting I downvoted largely because of the waifu stuff. The other problem was that the question is ridiculously leading, but if that were the only problem I would be able to just ignore it and scroll by. Earlier I typed up a response but the more I sat on the question, the more it bothered me, until I just lost any desire to engage it at all.
The concept of an AI girlfriend is just so creepy to me and reeks of incel-y nonsense. Even just within this post, it’s clear the hypothetical AGI “waifu” in question is subservient to the reader. Maybe some don’t see that as an issue because after all, it’s just a program and has no real emotion, and I’m open to admitting I may have misunderstood the intent of the question, but to me it’s far too reminiscent of men I’ve had the displeasure of interacting with who clearly just see me as a commodity for them to aquire. I also can’t help but imagine the potential for people to use AI like the post linked by OP to make recreations of non-consenting women for men’s pleasure, similar to the issue we are seeing with deepfakes currently.
I’ve been emulating Super Mario RPG on my Switch for the first time and loving every second of it. It’s so much fun and very silly, and the music is absolutely incredible. The range of styles Shimomura Yoko is able to compose expertly is amazing to me! The fact that these goofy, high energy songs are from the same person who composed Parasite Eve is unbelievable.
What do you gain from behaving this way? I understand it's easy to get heated online but you're just plainly trying to get under someone's skin for no reason. Maybe you genuinely disagree that calling a stranger "buddy" right at the start of a disagreement is disrespectful, but you're literally just responding derisively to someone in a way that you know they find disrespectful, underneath a post specifically telling you to be respectful in disagreements.
Also, personally I think it's strange to question someone else's understanding of English in regards to calling a stranger "buddy" in a disagreement, seeing as I think most English speakers would understand the passive aggressive attitude of such a thing easily.
Is there a way to have Lemmy instances render in wide-screen mode (sort of like old reddit or older themes of Wikipedia)? I really dislike the default look of everything being in the center with tons of blank space on both sides (I use 1440p monitors)....
It would be nice if that was an option. I've just got the page zoomed in to 150% right now and it's pretty comfortable on my laptop monitor, but on a full size desktop monitor I feel like the text would be a little large.

Time to dust off the sub: What you playing?
Welcome inbound reddit folk, now that we have patient gaming up and running, time to dust off a catch all emulation sub!...
Reminder to all: Be respectful when disagreeing.
Rule #2 is possibly our most important one:...
Wide-screen mode for Lemmy on desktop?
