Agreed, I’m not sure of why LocalSend is so well-received when I’ve literally been unable to get devices to even see each other, ever, even when they’ve been on the same network; I’ve tried across multiple networks (all devices on the same network each time). Literally ToffeeShare is way easier. PlainApp I’ve had some success with as well. Bluetooth works but not all devices take it, nor Quick Share.

I feel like the entire, boring indie game Regions of Ruin was carried by its epic music.

What about it was mediocre?!

Homeworld could have done so much more with its 3D premise, yeah, but man, that tutorial music is haunting!

I let this society kills kill my sobriety

Stoicism corrected that statement for you.

Anyone who wants to try Linux but is scared of or reluctant about anything about the process at all: talk to me! There are multiple ways to try it with zero change to your system, like Oracle VirtualBox or a USB flash drive.

have a character enact a wholly non-violent solution to the problem

They really tried that with Superman!

Ah, right, true. I’ve gotta re-watch that one, by the way!

I can’t remember hearing any villain actually say anything like this in a while, though. Which recent movies did so? I feel like society caught on lol. The only time I can think of something sort of like this happening was in ::: spoiler Fallout, when Lucy spared the Ghoul in saying, “I’ll never be like you,” but even then, the villain never said anything; it came from the protagonist of her own accord. Personally, I thought that was one of the most profound scenes in the entire show in a positive way. :::

What you’re missing is that nothing that we have is “AI” in the true sense of the term. LLMs, ChatGPT, etc. are not “AI,” which is just an inaccurate buzzword being thrown around; they’re still advanced autocomplete algorithms with no inherent self-motivation, or else their hallucination rate would be continually dwindling without their maintainers’ help.

None of it is actually “AI” in the true sense of the phrase; it’s just being tossed around as a buzzword.

You haven’t heard Google NotebookLM, then; run any article through that to summarize it podcast-style with a male and female voice and be amazed. I had to ask if they were real myself; voices have come so far.

I’m not supporting AI but just saying that it has vastly improved cadence, inflection, tone, etc.

Thanks, I didn’t know that. But then my question is: how dependent is the Mint team on Canonical’s updates to Ubuntu? Is it like Waterfox vs. Firefox?

Unfortunately, I just read a whole bunch of comments in another post about how Canonical trends so anti-consumer (to Microsoft-like levels) that multiple people are advocating against Mint and even Ubuntu entirely, so now my pickle is rescuing the relatives I just rescued from Windows and OS X from Mint, which they’ve been getting settled in lol. Ugh.
