Why would the loser of a competition have insider info about what the winner did to win? Doesn’t make much sense.

I understand your guess, but no, that essentially isn’t possible

iirc battery function management is supposed to happen at a firmware level. So hypothetically it shouldn’t be effected by what os you install. I think what you experienced was just a byproduct of keeping it plugged in 24/7

You CAN do those, but essentially 100% of apps that regular people are gonna want will be: click mac download -> open file -> follow prompts. That’s the point of a standard, which is not to necessarily eliminate alternatives, rather to make a single one be the default for almost 100% of standard situations.

This completely. Speaking as a person who’s more tech skilled than 99% of non-programmers, i can tell you that installing apps is the main tech hurdle for Linux getting mainstream adoption.

There are non-tech hurdles too, but of the actual technology being easy to use then app installation is really the only aspect left that regular people can’t do without a huge dive of tech learning that’s beyond what most people can do.

• Installing on mac: click the Mac download button and follow the prompts.

• Installing on Windows: click the Windows download button and follow the prompts.

• Installing on Linux: there’s no Linux download button, there’s a couple of buttons that say words you’ve never heard of before. They look kinda like buttons to download an app. You click one and try to open it, but it just shows an error, etc etc etc

Hah, there was no bitching, you don’t need to take everything personally. Life is absurd and fleeting, enjoy it when you can

No I’m taking about OP’s quote of the article right here on this lemmy page

The article quoted in this post seems to be unrelated to the title

We do know about it. Most of the big name ai services are all public about working for government enforcement agencies. Palantir, Flock, Boston Dynamics, Tesla xAI, etc

With hardware prices being sky high, using hardware more efficiently is really helpful

You clearly don’t even know what dei is. The main purpose has nothing to do with education.

I tried to install it on a friend’s 2012 macbook air, but the wifi didn’t work even after trying different distros and trying suggested answers like installing several additional wifi drivers.

I realize 2012 is a quite old machine, but the reality is that many (most?) people are going to be trying Linux for the first time on their very old computers. So having showstopper failures on old machines probably leads to a good amount of people thinking Linux doesn’t work well.

Yup, everyone (including me) strongly wants to deny the usefulness of ai, but the fact is that ai is already quite useful, and is only becoming more useful over time. There are a zillion moral problems with ai, but the usefulness of its output is obvious.

E.g. For years I’ve been considering paying someone to make a small app for me that does one specific thing, but recently i asked ai to do it and boom - it created an app that did exactly what i wanted. It even suggested some good features which i then said yes to and it made the app even better. And when i think of a new feature i just say “add this new feature”, and it does. Occasionally the outputted app doesn’t work, and i just say “now the audio doesn’t work, fix it” and it does. So far there was only one one feature i asked it to do that it failed at.

It says AT LEAST 15%

Your body makes it’s own cholesterol, and so the main driver of your cholesterol level is genetics. Quote from the AMA:

“Primarily, your cholesterol profile is genetic.”

Spot on.
