I never thought I’d witness the release of 3.0 in my lifetime

Hmm really? I hated that character so much, she ruined KotOR II for me. Am I in minority?

“What to do, buddy”

I was recently thinking - is this like a real thing? Or is it more like a joke since cucumber looks the way it looks?

Have they already added commercial breaks?

You’ve got a point. But that would mean we’re praising some low-level noob. Or maybe bro like created a new account and has got skillz but got like a new low level character

Yeah but … that is still kind of weak? I mean we are talking about personification of the creator of the universe. Like you spawn some fish to one-time feed people? Couldn’t you like create a lake for generations to come? Or something?

Also “wine from water” is like … really? You come to Earth with all your power and you solve petty problems like not enough wine at the wedding?

And for “raising a man from the dead” - Lazarus was his friend. And from the Bible it really sounds like he came to the Bethany just because he was his friend. And I look at this and wedding in Cana and … you came here to Earth just to help your friends? Really? Like could you maybe do something for humanity as a whole? With all this power … and you’re using it for petty problems and helping your friends.

Like sure, if they’re real then those trully are mirracles. But if you’re son of creator of the entire universe and life as we know it … boy are those weak, weak mirracles

Yeah, well maybe you should put this into your graph as a choice. You might not like it but Ubuntu still has a major support for anything Linux related. Any manufacturer or software development - if they support Linux, there is a high chance that they mean basically Ubuntu, quite often they tested it just there. This is a HUGE advantage for any beginner.

Beginners don’t care about behind the curtain stuff, they just want things to work. And you might not like Canonical but Ubuntu does this

AI generation can be used for disinformation which can literally destabilize or right away end the world as we know it.

But fake Taylor Swift pictures, this is where we draw the line …

This is one of my pet peeves - so you have a HUGE universe to work with, thousands and thousands of interresting planets, anything you can imagine. But no, because of callback$ and reference$ we’re getting to the same planets over and over again, even to Tatooine which should be by its purpose in the story forgetable, boring, a planet everyone overlooks

I mean Notepad++ is like a monument to Microsoft incompetence and them not caring about technically minded people for decades. Where a single guy beats trillion dollar company’s ass, actually not just beats, absolutely destroys big time. And they were either not able or didn’t care with responding and providing some power text editor. The fact that their OS was able to acquire any significant market share in developer’s community is an ultimate triumph of marketing department

I’d see 2 reasons:

1. A lot of people put a lot of money into it and they won’t give them up. They’ll keep buying and selling, keeping it sort of artificially afloat even if it has no real world usage. Well there is actually one which leads me to the next point
2. The illegal market (and gambling) has a use case for cryptocurrencies so they actually use them

But to put it simply - they don’t die because they don’t have to. There is no single company that would pull the plug. By it’s design, they can coexist in our world and no one can stop it, doesn’t matter if people use it or not

It’s like a torrent with millions of seeders. As long as there is at least one seeder, the torrent will exist even if the files it contains aren’t really useful

I was very sceptical towards the recent hypes (space exploration, cryptocurencies, self driving cars, …) which turned out to be fads but this time … this time I’m going to guess it isn’t going to be a fad. Well it depends what we imagine by “AI” - will you have a robot pal like in movie I Robot or AI Artificial Intelligence? Probably not. Will AI predictions and learning be put into majority of programms and quite clever AI voice-assistants will appear like in movie Her? Yeah, I guess this could happen. My main reasons are:

1. It actually isn’t that difficult, machine learning isn’t new and very theoretically speaking, as long as you have enough computation power, nothing is stopping you. Like at the moment I can’t think of any limit
2. Laws to stop it would be very difficult. You cannot just say “No AI!”, I mean people can run it at home, how do you want to stop it? Which leads me to other point
3. The OpenSource community had also made progress in the area
4. Major players are heavily investing into it

Of course they will! This is the sad, sad reality of todays internet - the power is so centralized in the hands of like 4 companies, that every business basically can’t ignore them. Like you can but by that you’re just hurting yourself from the business point of view. Elon Musk can literally say Fuck You to advertisers and they still need to advertise there. This is just crazy. On nation level the anti-monopoly bureau would take action but we don’t have world wide anti-monopoly bureau.

That’s why when people tell me “Oh, Elon Musk just bankrupted Twitter” I say “Did he?”. At this point I believe he can do anything he wants, he can murder like dozen people, blow up the headquartes or start selling drugs to children and Twitter would still be fine

I just use stove glass cleaner

It has 230 ft, that’s 70 m since we’re in Europe

I had similar netbook like OP and was running Lubuntu for a very long time but afaik they dropped support for 32 bit architectures some time ago. I think 18.04 was the last 32 bit LTS? Not sure, I’d need to check it

I mean … Pikachu face? :)

So people switch to service based solutions for movies, games, music, … where they own literally nothing because the actual owner is the corporation which sort of ‘rent it’ to them. And then they’re surprised that provided stuff gets demolished by ‘landlord’ because it doesn’t bring enough money to the landlord

Sigh, well I get downvotes but I just say it - because it’s more restrictive and some people really like that, dare I say live for that. I’m pretty sure in 20-30 years there’ll be a more restrictive diet than veganism and it’ll be the new cool
