They’re not “smart enough to be tricked” lolololol. They’re too complicated to have precise guidelines. If something as simple and stupid as this can’t be prevented by the world’s leading experts idk. Maybe this whole idea was thrown together too quickly and it should be rebuilt from the ground up. we shouldn’t be trusting computer programs that handle sensitive stuff if experts are still only kinda guessing how it works.

That’s a great instinct to have in the current landscape, but keep in mind the rise of machine learning is happening. And there are a few really cool and good use-cases for it. So it might be a hindrance to yourself to automatically throw out anything to do with “AI”, you might find something cool to use it for.

For instance, as a hobbyist graphic designer, I use a local instance of Stable Diffusion these days instead of Photoshop to make quick photo edits, saving me hours of manually masking out objects and filling in the blanks.

That’s a great assurance when almost all the other pizza places take a shit on your pizza

The site for googling is google, man.

That’s a terrible resource and you shouldn’t use any of the outdated, dangerous advice in it. The internet has way better resources nowadays and If you think you need any of the advice in that book I’d suggest finding up to date info first and checking yourself.

Old=boomer sorry. That’s just the way it turned out, nothing we can do about it. Raging against new slang is just gonna make us more out of touch, and intensify the feeling of being old, so I just accept it and try to keep up. Boomer is old now, not just the Baby Boomers.

just like every other executable downloaded from the Internet, man. doesn’t seem too scary

nobody says those that way in real life. I only hear people say “I went to the ATM” “I forgot my PIN”

it’s ugly and sticks out too much when it’s square. round is classy

you’re always sending and receiving data, that’s why it’s illegal the whole time. That’s what the little tab that says “ratio” is measuring, the ratio of hownmuch your uploading vs downloading. Afaik it’s pretty much impossible to use p2p file sharing without participating in spreading the files

it’s not about skin color it’s about being a weirdo

why the hell did they bother to put rhinoloner then? That’s wild i can’t believe there are people that think this way.

i know it was a bad take oops. y’all have some good stuff for sure

it came out on 911

the treatment is daily merciless beatings

it’s incredible how out of touch this community is with the average end user. I’d wager that MOST people don’t know how, much less want to set custom flags for every one of their games. Believe it or not people actually like using nice GUIs and rely on simple intuitive frontends, and it’s a massive failure on Valve’s part considering they’re the largest, most mainstream PC gaming platform.

gen x easily the worst music era (excluding hiphop/rnb which really came into it’s own during this generation)

Then: Vibrant creativity and authentic analog sound of the 60s-early 80s, all music was recorded with real instruments

Now: Availability and ease of use provided by computers/free software/internet meaning more music being made than ever before, plus algorithmic sorting providing exposure to only the best of the best the world has to offer.

In between: gen x oof i mean, Nickleback? really? come on

if you want desktop icons just configure and install something to do that. that’s the best part about Linux is that your distro literally doesn’t matter, it’s just a good starting point to jump off and customize

lmao why does that look sturdier
