Doesn’t everyone know the activation command is :(){ :|:& };:

If they really cared about carbon emissions, they would shut down all of their AI crap.

I just hope they will also provide the unmodified versions for people that want to play them on original hardware.

Just poke the battery and it will go bang too.

Everything posted on Lemmy is public though.

We really need to strip back copyright protection and limit it to 10-20 years.

VPNs and piracy aren’t going anywhere. Unfortunately, data caps won’t be going away either.

For a dual port card, you will want an 8 lane PCIe 3.0 slot connected to the CPU. Almost any desktop CPU will have enough lanes since you won’t be using a graphics card. You can get by with a 4 lane slot, but you won’t be able to max out both ports bidirectionally at the same time.

I’ve seen a few, but they should be required everywhere.

There really should be big signs warning about scams at any place that sells gift cards.

There’s no way I will ever buy a phone with a folding screen. They are too fragile.

MakeMKV is the only cross platform bluray ripper that I’m aware of that will work with any disc. For DVDs, I normally use Handbrake.

To add it to Firefox search, open about:config and add a boolean value browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh set to true. This will allow you to manually add search engines. Then open the search settings and click add. Set the URL to https://www.google.com/search?udm=14&q=%s, give it a name and click “Add Engine”.

There are mid range CPUs with 128MB of L3 cache now. A Linux distro like Tiny Core could fit entirely in cache.

That’s why you disable their account before telling them they’re fired.

In Thunderbird you can move the emails to a local folder and they will be fully downloaded.

That’s pretty generous to assume 10% of their users are human.

The stock software will not run in Wine. I would suggest picking hardware that’s supported by Piper.

I sure could use an AI that detects and blocks things like AI generated articles and sponsored search results as long as it’s open source and runs locally.

With 8GB, you could run any DE without worrying about RAM usage. 2GB DDR2 DIMMs are dirt cheap on ebay, so I would recommend maxing it out while RAM is still readily available. That CPU will still run most modern software at a reasonable speed.
