If I could steal a car by downloading it over the internet without depriving the original owner of it and with similarly low risk of getting caught/prosecuted for it I would absolutely steal a car. I wouldn’t steal a font tho, that’s just beyond the pale. :P

That’s kinda interesting. My first thought on seeing that image, though, was ‘ramen + autism = good!’

That’s not a can’t, it’s a get-paid-a-shitload-of-money-to-not.

Right? ‘ZOMG users aren’t viewing the contents of their friends!’, yeah, because you hide that shit behind ads and promoted content, dumb-ass.

May I be the first to say…

Haha, yep. My very first linux install I had to do similar because I had a fucky video card that X11 didn’t support natively, ultimately I had to, er, acquire a commercial X server that did support it to make it work. It was a mess.

Heh, I remember tinkering with linux waaay back in the day. I had a shitty Slackware install I farted around with, and something I was doing required bootstrapping gcc. I clung to that man page like it was the last lifeboat off the Titanic, but by the end when it worked I felt exactly like this.

Fair enough, I haven’t looked at it at all since I last used linux a couple decades ago, that’s just been my experience with trying to use other linux-native software on windows.

No shit? I’ve been using Greenshot for screenshots for a while (stupid Foxhole closing tooltips whenever I hit shift for the snip tool hotkey) but had no idea it did anything more than that. I’ll take a look, thanks!

Huh. I barely used it when I was on linux, so… shrug

Does that even run on windows without a bunch of hoop-jumping and some jank-ass chunky qt-style UI elements? I seriously haven’t looked at GIMP in like 25 years.

All I use paint for is like drawing red underlines under text in screen grabs and shit like that. The most ‘pro’ feature I ever use is when I sometimes misclick the rounded rectangle tool instead of the rectangle tool and I’m too lazy to fix it. I’ll give that a shot tho, thanks.

Welp, time to delete that shit and find replacements. Notepad++ is a solid upgrade over notepad, there must be something similar for paint that doesn’t have a steep learning curve?

Sure, and I haven’t used a telco in ~20 years unless you count cell carriers. But yeah I’m by no means saying bigger companies are necessarily better about this, as I said, just that this is a curious counter-example to your earlier claim that breaking up the telco monopoly didn’t lead to nobody building telecom infrastructure.

Heh, indeed.

Nor the more substantial argument I was making, it seems, since you didn’t seem to take the time to understand it. Fair enough, I can respect the ability to walk away from a discussion you don’t have a counter-argument for even if you don’t seem to have the ability to admit it.

Oh, I thought you were saying there was some additional config. Cool, thanks.

The scientists didn’t actually read all 1,140,328 discussion-board submissions written by 16,791 students between the fall term of 2021 and the winter term of 2024.

"I think we can infer this is due to the availability of AI because what other things would produce these significant changes?”

Yu and his research colleagues didn’t interview any of the students and cannot say for certain that the students were using ChatGPT or any of its competitors, such as Claude or Gemini, to help them with their assignments

If this had been actual research this might be an interesting result, but it’s not. It’s pure speculation without a shred of verification.

…and that’s moving the goalposts.

In my initial comment I said ‘no one’, and your first reply did not narrow the scope. I even said ‘no one’ again in my reply and you did not narrow the scope then either. So the standard was ‘no one does this’, except I’ve now shown an example of someone who does, so trying to qualify that now by adding some new arbitrary standard is just moving the goalposts. If the government does it then the fact that no one does it is false, isn’t it?

Yeah I’m pretty sure it was an issue with PopOS, not the GPU/drivers.
