A Sharky Anthro

Wow you can tell AI was involved given the fact 4 out of the 6 women were probably generated using NSFW data…Yikes, a lot of those generated images look similar to the ones that I find YouTube Phishing bots using repeatedly. I don’t understand how people can’t immediately tell these are GenAI profiles when looking through them. The language is too similar, feels off to me at least. Makes my brain itch.

My favorite with coffee is Almond or Coconut Milk, oat milk isn’t great unless it is the creamy variety!

Oofta, I’d love to have multiple parties with different priorities to vote for. That would be a huge ask, figuring that out for the American political system would be amazing.

We will keep defeating these nasty bills, we have to keep pushing and not just giving into what the government wants. As what the government wants is nasty as fuck! There will be means to circumvent such changes, Ageless Linux is working on categorizing the methods of evasion, keeping track of what Linux distros are deciding and doing in regards to Age Verification.

Ugh, this is so disgusting! They desperately want control over things they should never have! I’ve shared my opinion will all three of my representatives.

LOL Of course this bastard would try to worm his way out of liability. As LLMs cannot be held responsible for any actions, since these hallucination engines cannot think or feel. However, OpenAI can and should be held liable when their product is directly responsible for causing something horrible to happen on both a small and critical scale. If they can create the “tech” they can accept responsibility when the shit goes south and causes a lot of destruction/loss of life.

Sealioning to quote Wikipedia: “Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity, and feigning ignorance of the subject matter. It may take the form of “incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate”, and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings.”

I tend to only block people that are either being really hostile, sealions, trolls, far right weirdos, tankies, bigots, AI chuds, or if they are arguing in bad faith. I also block any straight or lesbian porn instances because that isn’t what I want to appear in my feeds.

I did mistype, as I meant W2. As for the other part of your post, I’ve set-up my W4 so that I pay the right amount in taxes…My tax return tends to be in the 300 dollar range. That is not very much money being held hostage by the government, Kansas State taxes are weird, but at least I don’t own them much anymore these days. It used to be that I owed them money, but, I’ve dialed it in to make sure they own me a pittance that isn’t even worth sending me to my bank account.

Oofta, you have a job ahead of you then! As you’d have a lot of information to gather before actually getting the process started. I do my taxes via FreeTaxUSA, and they make the process pretty easy. As I can use an import code on my W2 to get it started. I make sure to have all the required documents before sitting down and committing to plugging in all the information (correctly, of course).

I try to do it as soon as I get my W2, I still haven’t done my taxes…However, I will be doing that on Saturday!

LOL If it is so dangerous, just destroy Claude and throw it in the trash…Stop being a Doomsday Dan, Anthropic, a tactic you use to scare-impress investors into fueling your strange addiction to your own fiction!

Personally, I would straight up refuse and hunt for another practice that does not utilize LLM services. As anything that techbros call “AI” is an absolute shitshow. These techbros have a plan to absorb a lot of personal information from others in order to ‘train’ their models. Given that LLMs can never think, feel, make shit up confidently, and are geared towards being sycophantic…

They should never be used for the purposes that techbros and deluded CEOs are trying to make fetch. I would rightfully be suspicious of any practice that is willingly using this tech. I would ask for clarification from the practice in question, get shit in writing, and hunt for another practice if the meeting is unproductive.

SELinux is a package deal with openSUSE Tumbleweed, you’d likely break a lot of stuff if you removed it. Remember, I mentioned SELinux gaming policy, it can be installed to reduce friction with games on Tumbleweed. You can use YAsT Software or Myrlyn to install the policy rather quickly. It doesn’t take but a few seconds, and makes gaming easier. As most problems caused by permissions are solved. Like others have said, you might be experiencing a Proton Issue. If that is the case, perhaps installing the flatpak ProtonPlus and selecting a different version of Proton with the game that is giving you issues might also be helpful. Of course there may be some tinkering involved to get it working…As sometimes recent or new games are iffy on Linux, before Proton ends up fixing a lot of those issues with newer versions.

One thing I can answer is: if you aren’t good at weeds deep with Linux, you need to avoid anything Arch-based. CachyOS is Arch-based, while it is tamed, Arch-based distros demand more from you than most. You will have to always keep it up to date, the Arch team will sometimes push breaking changes that will require manual intervention to fix. It’s not a good fit for you, and will only cause you pain, as it seems you don’t have an interest in learning more about how to configure your Linux distro. You’d face issues with Debian, if you wanted to use the most recent kernel on it (it’s possible but requires knowledge, once again). As the Debian team build against a kernel and fixed drivers, supporting them for years before the newest version.

As it seems you don’t want to get weeds deep, Ubuntu is probably a good compromise within the middle of everything you put forth. As it handles the NVIDIA drivers in a sane way; Fedora requires you to install them yourself and go through a process to install NVIDIA drivers (that hasn’t always went well for me after the 42 update). There are so many programs offered in .deb format that you won’t want for it, Steam is well supported on Ubuntu (just make sure to get the .deb for the best performance).

There is also Bazzite (based on Fedora), which is a good middle ground which can offer you an easy gaming experience handles NVIDIA drivers for you, and has fairly recent kernels available. The software situation, it’s easy to navigate, with a bit of reading. The team is pretty good about helping people with any issues they face. The best part is, as Bazzite is hard to break because it’s atomic, and if something does go wrong…Choose the most recent version that worked.

Personally, I’ve not had any problem running games on openSUSE Tumbleweed, as I’ve investigated the recent releases I wanted to play first. I am curious if you have SELinux gaming policy installed (it helps set sane defaults for SELinux when it comes to games). As I know SELinux is a bit of a bastard at times, requiring occasional configuration changes to make software run correctly.

LOL MAGA is such a fucking joke…

Exactly, it should never be bundled into software without explicit user consent.

It’s still a problem because users are opted in, as I’ve mentioned in many replies…If users don’t push back, we get situations like Microsoft and their insane LLM shit being shoved in all their software/services/OS. It’s the same “normalize and numb” tactics used by corporations to make end users more compliant to their forced integration of features in software, that aren’t the best or helpful to that end user. It’s not okay, nor is this an ordinary new feature. LLMs are being used to do a lot of disgusting things in the world by the ultra-wealthy and techbros wanting to control/influence the masses.

It’s still opt out, not opt in because on first install that LLM garbage is enabled by default. The kill switch should’ve been for people that chose to try LLM garbage and found it lacking; needing an easy way to disable it all.

I won’t stop complaining until Firefox makes their LLM nonsense opt-in, letting a user choose at first boot if they want that shit or not. That would be the most ethical and user respecting way to handle their LLM shit.

Big yikes, I could imagine this won’t stay in Windows Insiders for long. Given how Microslop doesn’t understand the meaning of restraint. Glad that I switched to Linux before a lot of their damaging decisions could settle down in my PC and fuck it up!
