What's that got to do with the price of fish?

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

This is why humans are involved in the process. Your counterargument is shallow and flawed

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

You're fundamentally wrong and presenting a bad-faith argument in an insulting manner. Please shut up

Direct your ire where it belongs - at capitalism not technology

I have never understood why gnome seems to the go-to choice for default DE for so many distros

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

In my experience, KDE works well and gets out of my way, while gnome does stupid shit and is non-configurable. I don;t have multiple monitors with different refresh rates so I can;t comment on that, but I do not run into bugs in KDE often at all!

(I mean I did accidentally lock up my computer by opening several hundred copies of the screenshot app, but that was my fault - I accidentally put a banana on the print screen key!)

I didn't know that about fingerprint support, but my experience of it is it not working but getting in the way, and looking a bit pants compared to kde

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

Yeah I know, i was there (and I always preferred KDE... migrated to it from Windowmaker of all things, I never could get the hang of Enlightenment, pretty though it was). But that was sorted literally decades ago!

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

KDE is consistent, and much more configurable. But I mostly like the defaults barring where my toolbars go and switching to single click open for files. Will Gnome even allow me to have one main toolbar vertically on the left hand side of the screen, then two axillary auto-hiding short ones on the top and bottom right with programme shortcuts on one and the taskbar on the other?

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

I will admit I am amazed by it at times... not in the way you mean though

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

Hmmm, I guess that's plausible. Awful reason, but plausible

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

Now if you'd said "Cardi Bin" that might have been funny

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

Bollocks is it. Also that's completely irrelevant to the post afaict

They can maybe still throw their shrimps at the screen?

‘It’s destroyed me completely’: Kenyan moderators decry toll of training of AI models (www.theguardian.com)

Employees say they weren’t adequately warned about the brutality of some of the text and images they would be tasked with reviewing, and were offered no or inadequate psychological support. Workers were paid between $1.46 and $3.74 an hour, according to a Sama spokesperson.

tools to strip the best parts of humanity away from us so that AI can do creative activities like poetry and art

Yeah that's a bullshit take on AI

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

There's nothing to elaborate on. It's a stupid position put about by luddites and perpetuated by people with no understanding of the subject. It's so not on target it's not even wrong!

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

Your complaint here is entirely with capitalism and has nothing to do with AI. It's a legitimate concern, but it;s fart larger problem than new ways of making pictures. Aim your opprobrium at the correct targets

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

You want to learn to argue? Be willing to learn. It's clear you know jack shit about the subject. For the record my entire family, including me, are artists of one sort or another, I also actually understand what ai generative models are and can do, unlike you.

Oh, and have a good hard look at anti-ai arguments. You'll find they all come from either a complete failure to understand the subject or from the failings of capitalism, never from the technology itself.

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

You're so close. Keep going. Where's the root cause of the problem?

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

That's a... Random comparison

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

Oh dear, it was going so well

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

No I agree. Keep going... Why are you therefore daemonising AI rather than focusing your ire where it belongs?

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

Why not?

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

My entire point is that people are blaming AI when the problem is... not AI!

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

You're right, I'm not up for having this fucking discussion AGAIN! It's not performative snark it;s frustration at idiots recycling idiotic comments to support idiotic positions hating on some very interesting technology, and on the off chance there is a real grip they're blaming the wrong thing.

Give me an argument worth engaging with and maybe I'll engage in good faith. That has not happened here

again

Do you understand the distinction I'm making here?

Yo we heard you like cats in boxes

<pic of Xibit> so we put your cat in a box in a box so you can enjoy cat in a box while it's in a box while it's in a box

ReCursing,

No, the correct way in general is to not install windows at all

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

I've never heard anyone complain about webp before. What's the problem?

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

That sounds like a you problem

Ah yes, nostalgic gatekeeping bullshit. Kindly go fuck yourself

Touch screens in cars are stupid: you need to take your eyes off the road to use them. Buttons and knobs, once you have learned them, can be operated by touch and maybe a quick flick of your eyes.

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

Sure, but I don't always have a passenger in my car and want to listen to the radio

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

Wow, that's a... take I guess

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

I'll add Alien and Terminator 1 to that list. Whether you consider the first or second better in either franchise, there's no denying all four are excellent movies

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

Yeah but then you have to use gnome when you could be using kde

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

I don't know, if gnome were better we might be able to answer that😛

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

I the UK pants refer to underwear (what you call pants we call trousers), which would make this much funnier

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

Well now they're even older!

I use Mullvad and have never had a problem... but they have just stopped allowing port forwarding if that matters to you

Black Mesa is where Halflife is set, if that helps?
