Gotta appreciate the choice of ad, though.

There are just so many good distros available these days. Doesn't stop me from using bazzite, though.

The block button is your friend.

I hope the bazzite devs grab a dev kit and ensure day one support. I've been holding off on VR since there just wasn't a solution that seemed straightforward.

You couldn't make this up.

Good line of thinking. I also started wondering what "they" do when they are not busy pampering the last remaining individuals.

Google is now poisoning the well from which their wealth sprung. They had a good run, but I feel like it's coming to a close. Not tomorrow, but the damage is growing and the internet like we've come to know it will disappear.

Reading the article the parent just went along with the kids talking to Grok and even selecting the personality without much interference. That's a long way from taking control of media usage or even building media literacy. I absolutely agree that you shouldn't straight up forbid kids from interacting with LLMs, but given the potential of the technology I would highly recommend close overwatch and giving good and plentyful context. I don't think that was the case here, it sounds like the parents are not well versed in the area and just think of it as a fun distraction for their kids.

Letting your kids have "conversations" with an LLM betrays a level of ignorance about the current state of technology that is no longer acceptable in this day and age.

I convinced my teenage son to install bazzite on his gaming laptop to avoid Windows 11 and he likes it!

The best part: he wanted some game and worked his way through using Wine and Bottle to make it work, all by himself. He told me he feels "a bit like a hacker" now.

Can't tell you how proud this made me.

Ich habe noch nie ein Paket von DPD wirklich direkt in die Hand bekommen.

Gestern war es mal wieder soweit. Ich sah den DPD Lieferwagen anfahren, der Fahrer hielt auch an, nahm mein Paket - ich war voller Hoffnung - sah, dass ich nicht im Erdgeschoss wohne und zog wieder ab. Ich habe ihm noch nachgerufen, er hat es einfach ignoriert. Ein paar Stunden später dann die Meldung, dass ich nicht anzutreffen war und mein Paket im Shop liegt. Der Shop ist natürlich nicht irgendwo in der Nähe, das wäre ja zu einfach. Zwei Bus- und drei U-Bahn-Stationen, schon kann ich meine Sendung abholen.

Ich finde das einfach dreist.

Und es ist immer so mit DPD, schon seit ich zurück denken kann. Wenn ich etwas bestelle und dann die Lieferankündigung von DPD kommt, weiß ich bereits, worauf ich mich einstellen kann.

I did a very simple search for this year's holidays in my German state and whoo boy did it get a lot wrong! Left it's the ai slop, right are the correct answers. Obviously I've since disabled it completely to save the screen real estate.

 

If Valve really wanted to make a splash, they could release a desktop version of SteamOS in October, right when support for Windows 10 ends. For additional damage, they could bundle in Half-Life 3. Just imagine the coverage this would get.
