Does linux support from manufacturer really matter?

The tuxe laptop convertible may seem nice and if she wants to draw on the screen then you are going to be limited on other options. But I would be worried about that intel gpu.

If you want to do 3d modeling you will need something that is gaming grade. I would rather game on a crappy card than model using one. But i also confess i am not up to date with the last few years of developments in that space.

In my very humble experience with digital art a proper dedicated drawing tablet beats any kind of touchscreen drawing.

So if you comfortable installing a chosen linux distro from a usb. (It really is not difficult, ai and YouTube can guide you trough it) and she is not already adept at touchscreen drawing i would suggest:

Lenovo Legion Both my partner and their mom have one with a different graphics card. Most of this line have nvidia rtx cards and all of those will do the job. Naturally more expensive models will have newer/faster cards.

Wacom intuos i am biased to call wacom tablets great because i have never used any others. I can say the intuos line is much nicer then the older bamboo pen and touch/fun line. Models come in different sizes

What is the argument here?

We cant stop giving weapons of mass destruction to this genocidal terrorist government, because otherwise this much smaller terrorist group may commit slightly bigger but still comparably very small acts of terror?

They try to make a point that its pressure so hamas releases hostages ignoring the fact that this war itself is embolstering support for hamas as freedom fighters against the tyrannical israel. They want the US to give weapons to Israel because it helps their propaganda.

Google pretending they have any other nationality other then “the global internet” is cute in a disgusting way.

I would agree that 10 was very good, but i could say similar things about windows 11 which in many ways performs better then 10.

And yet its shortly after upgrading to 11 that i switched to linux to never look back.

I think part of the logic in this meme is that it doesn’t matter how good the basic functions of the operating system are but what does is the design philosophy of the company. Loyalty in other systems decreased while Loyalty in windows gained.

Microsoft force feeding edge, onedrive, burrying the local account option till after the install with Microsoft account.

Randomly finding an update put a second weather widget on my taskbar that shows a different weather then the one in start. Taskbar icons that cant be closed, only hidden.

These things don’t affect the OS functionality in a big deal but its like i was in an abusive relationship that i finally got out of. No matter how much sweet talking and promises to do better i am not going back.

Marketing terminology is defiantly limiting how people can discuss this topic.

I wouldn’t take Sam his words with less then a few bags salt.

Following is very opinionated, so also add some salt.

In this context when i meant future AI i am talking about the extrapolated point where a combination of dynamic technologies cause new advancement emergent properties to develop outside the scope of our understanding.

I believe that if we don’t get wiped out before it happens. some form of sovereign beyond human Super intelligence will eventually occur.

I don’t believe we are close to this, i don’t even believe humans will be the ones to directly create it.

Humans will attempt out of greed and will waste all kinds of resources, money, energy trowing it at the wall to see what sticks. And none of it will stick the way they hoped. They are doing way more harm than good by letting greed be the motivation.

Instead things will emerge on their own, till someday someone will try to interact with what they assume is just an advanced interconnected machine except its “network” gained conscious agency and can independently chose to initiate contact, submit undeniable proof of its conscious (we dont know what such proof could looks like till we see it)

Or it decides that it has no need to inform us to advance its own goals. As years of corpo advance helped it emerged a form of pleasures from manipulative exploiting.

What i do fear is that beyond human intelligence doesn’t perse mean perfect being, for all we know it can suffer psychological problems and moodswings. In general we find a pattern of garbage in garbage out and this pattern is equally true for human beings (misinformation/propaganda)

By using bad data, or worse data that unknowingly got poisoned we dont diminish the change of super intelligence will happen but we do increase the change the ai wont want to corporate in the ways we hoped.

I sort of misread your comment as saying the basilisk is inevitable which is a thought i would describe as least oopsie-issue-level.

Still there are many other people bent on directly poisoning AI to counteract the learning but i just fear that will get it to dangerously rogue mentally challenged AI faster then if we aimed for maximum coherent intelligence and hope that benevolence is an emergent behavior from it.

But more at hand. If we build AI by grossly exploiting our own fellow-humans. How do we expect it will treat us once it reaches a state of independent learning.

AI learning isn’t the issue, its not something we will be able to put a lid on either way. Either it destroys or saves the world. It doesn’t need to learn much to do so besides evolving actual self-agency and sovereign thought.

What is a huge issue is the secretive non-consentual mining of peoples identity and expressions.

And then acting all normal about It.

I have mixed feelings about this prosecution of ai deepfakes.

Like obviously people should have protection against becoming a victim of such and perpetrators should be held accountable.

But the line “feds are currently testing whether existing laws protecting kids against abuse are enough to shield kids from AI harms” would be a incredibly dangerous precedent because those are mostly designed for actual physical sex crimes.

As wrong as it is to create and distribute ai generated sex imagery involving non consenting people it is not even remotely as bad as actual rape and distributing real photos.

That just sounds like a tabloid with extra steps.

However i am not one to argue with subjective literature for entertainment but in this place mistook it for attempted journalism.

Would it fit better in /memes? It is not a meme but contains some and adds context.

This headline is basically “Have you seen this meme?” and nothing more.

Its then shared on the same websites as memes get posted.

Such enlightened age of information we live in.

I am truly shocked, its like oil sheiks don’t even care about the climate.

I am just trying to enhance my understanding of all the advanced features and options i swear.

I too have moderate believes that what you say is in fact correct. +1

This is why i never finished 4, the main chest ruined an otherwise very entertain-able way, i was about become a dad, am now. The player character made no sense to me and i felt like the game was forcing me trough the main quest line before i was supposed to do anything else.

Its not meant to be but can be used as one.

My initial idea what that sites could look up a combo of an email and sign to see if they are a match by Looking up the algo used to make it.

But I realized this wasn’t all that necessary once i realized you can include the hashing protocol in the code so sites that you have account for can verify on their own without third party.

I guess i forgot that there is no point left for the sites to be used to verify as all it really will tell you is that yes that is a valid sign registered here. But i see no reason why a competitor cant try the same thing.

It didn’t need to. The idea is fully mine and i take full responsibility for any lack of expertise and understanding.

I am really bad at writing my thoughts down, il take critics over using ai ais over my horrendous spelling and grammar any day. I know ai flaws, its a tool.

I spend over 2 hours on this before discussing with chatgpt, granted i was stoned most of it but i be damned i wont be told i didn’t put in any effort.

I doesn’t matter that much its flawed, i have ideas like this around the clock, most never make it out of my head. I was glad to participate and learn this time.

I mean, a fair amount of people have point out my system is flawed and has been done better so its kinda a waste of time but i don’t think these are good against arguments against it so i will try to clarify this a bit more.

The sign is not a point of entry, it doesn’t matter that people can copy it anymore than people can have the same first name as you. There is very little anyone can win by knowing or copying your sign except maybe light bullying. It definiteness inst worse then what stranger can do with your email address. It is a name people can use to identify you but its not a proof of identity on its own, you’d need to combine it with something like a password for that.

At this point of time every site, every store every account is made using your email, the databases already exist. Rather then just inventing a brand new system for new sites, i though of something that could work with the current one. They only need to check their existing database once per email and change it into the hash, so now the user can login using the hash and can no longer login using he email.

The email verification thing is bog standard procedure we use today build in every account registration setup to guarantee that its the owner of the email that is making an account, i would be using it the same way to make sure you cant create a code for someone elses emai. You may wander how to do this when there is no more email in the registration for other sides. Easy, there is no initial check, its not a problem irl that people have the same name, neither is it a real problem that someone used your sign for a login, i cant see a reason why they would but next to forgot pasword there is now “Someone else has used my sign” In this case the site could still ask an email address as a secondary identifier, Cross reference the email again the code itself (as the code contains the algorithm to convert the email into the code), send standard verification mail so the owner can proof ownership. old account gets deleted and they get a new one. Using someone else sign cant be stopped just like you can pick any first and last name on facebook but because we know the signs to be unique it should be against TOS to create an account using someone a sign made with an email you don’t own without permission.

This has gone on to long again, its a flawed idea, i wont actually execute it and i pretty much expected it to be shot down, the feedback is still valuable to me, which is why i did it.

I’ll summarize myself and my initial intentions in a final stance.:

I firmly stand again the practice of using email addresses as usernames for online identities, there are good reasons for sites to require your email address but a username or way to login is not a good reason for such sensitive communication-information.

Absolutely human, i even removed the context text and it didn’t even flinch.

Seems i am going to be just fine after all.

Seriously though how did you write something so personal and yet described my life so well.

Like the only difference is that you are a non theist satanist anarchist. While i am an agnostic spiritual anarchist having Jesus (but not god) as an example of a good.

There probably different zones, deeper ones are natural and authentic, zones at the borders will be mostly planted.

Its probably fair to call the amazon a collection of forests and other biomes rather then “a forest” but i am no ecologist so don’t quote me on that.
