Sound is almost always the sticking point for me in Linux installs.

But as I said in another comment, this doesn't actually matter for the general populace because they don't install OSes. The only situation where they'd use Linux is if they can buy a Linux PC ready to go, so config issues like this miss the forest for the trees.

The average person doesn't use network drives or know what they are.

The real problem is if people can't buy Linux laptops at Best Buy it literally doesn't matter how usable or not it is because the average person doesn't install an OS.

LLMs are heavily training on other LLM output at this point because the internet is flooded with it. So if people are running tons of bot farms with right wing bullshit, it's going to get trained on more and more of that.

LLMs were always doomed to train themselves on the slop and that's sort of why they're unsalvageable.

GSUS doesn't do anything and doesn't even intend to do anything until they get six million people signed up on their website, then won't actually strike until 11mil, 6mil is just when they intend to decide what they might do. They've been doing nothing for a few years now and some of their main organizers believe shit like the magic vibrations from crystals can be effective for DIY abortions. It's a joke.

Someone should be tried at the Hague for this idea

Yeah no shit and you've been acting against our best interests for decades

That tracks

You do realize that the foods we are going to have a crisis over includes literally all the stuff you eat instead of meat too right

He has gotten at least three grants in the past that I saw on the NLNet website for Pixelfed, but none were listed as active when I looked. However, since you have to complete your project to get paid out I didn't see a way to know if he actually received any or all of those grants. The current active grant is just for Loops. I believe the old Pixelfed grants also required certain licensing and the project being open source though.

Also, as of this morning, he was posting about how in order to make Loops open source and federated he needs to hit $200k on his Kickstarter. However, he was previously challenging people who were claiming it's not currently federated or open sourced. So now the story is that it's not yet and he needs more money to make that happen when previously he was claiming it already was both of those things.

It's...a mess for sure.

Seriously they're going to fire just about everyone. It's not much of a threat.

I really don't see any reason for them to believe they'll have jobs in even a week anyway by behaving.

I was posting this elsewhere recently but people massively underestimate how the US's size factors into this. You can drive 10 hours from some parts of Texas and still be in Texas. The amount of money it would take to assemble all of us willing to protest in locations that would actually matter is incredible, and protesting in small town Kentucky won't do much for you. We flat out cannot get the whole country together. I'm like 9 hours away from the capitol and I am closer than 80% of the country to the capitol.
