What is self-thinking? Do you mean self-awareness?

Why?

I agree. AI would be way more useful if it gave some kind of indicator of accuracy, or even just saying “I don’t know.”

Right now, AI only doesn’t have an answer when the goons who programmed it told it not to give one.

What would make it ‘ai’ in your mind?

That’s really stupid.

Yes, we all know the most successful economic endeavors are funded by taxpayers. Then leeches come in to steal the profits from the public and useful idiots are all-to-proud to support them.

Just look at how Iceland has the cheapest electricity on the planet; it’s because they built their infrastructure using public money without an incentive to maximize profit.

Interesting. I’ve been using Wayland for the past few months and forgot I even made the switch.

That means it’s ready.

This guy is a troll and he’s going to keep asking questions as long as people keep answering them.

I’m just going to block him and move on; got no time to suffer fools like this any more.

I love the name.

“Bring out the GIMP.”

Meanwhile, Robin L. Rosenberg of the Southern District of Florida is the judge that blocked the release of the Epstein files.

The ruling class is eager to make it so the only way to fight back against them is with bullets.

They don’t know what they’re in for.

They’re making it so that vigilante justice is the only form of justice the ruling class can receive.

Using Linux isn’t something you need to defend towards others.

As long as something is comfortable for you, keep using it.

Yes, this isn’t just about profits for these companies.

It’s about control. They want to prove that they own us, and they’re right more often than not because of useful idiots.

You get to notice things you didn’t notice before. It’s a lot easier for our brains to ‘zoom in’ and process minute details that we don’t perceive normally. Since lossless and lossy music is not the exact same audio vibrating the air, our brains are not going to interpret them exactly the same. This difference doesn’t matter to most and isn’t always perceivable, but it’s there.

One thing that stood out to me during an acid trip was how moving my phone affected the playback speed of my bluetooth speakers. Moving it farther away caused the song to slow down slightly for a moment, moving it closer caused the song to speed up slightly. You can imagine that this is because of some kind of ‘space invaders’ effect, where my phone is sending out signals at a constant rate and adjusting the distance to the receiver causes those signals to be received faster or slower, temporarily.

I’d say it’s definitely worth it.

Our brains shouldn’t have to work harder to listen to lossy music, which is what happens even if you can’t reliably perceive it.

Listening to music on acid (a lot) has really shaped my views of it and how even the most minor things can have a major impact on the final experience.

I’m not an audiophile though and can enjoy music in a wide range of formats and quality; I just prefer FLAC almost anywhere.*

*some songs sound ‘better,’ or at least more iconic in a lower quality

This is another step closer to requiring an ID to use the internet at all, which is exactly what the ruling class wants.

Fight back wherever you can.

Wow, $700m!? So this is why spotify is priced the way that it is!

Useful idiots kept telling me it’s so they can keep the lights on and put their kids through college, lmao.
