Anything and everything Amateur Radio and beyond. Heavily into Open Source and SDR, working on a multi band monitor and transmitter.

I use Debian for anything that matters. The release cadence means that stuff just works and keeps working. You cannot beat the documentation and I’ve been using it for 25 years.
I’m not touching anything Redhat / Fedora with a barge pole.
Not sure what the attraction to Mint is.
Never used OpenSUSE.
I wonder what the world would look like if these technology layoffs happened from the top down?

To enjoy yourselves doesn’t require that you all buy the latest gaming rig or even something new or identical. As long as what you decide on has games in common, you’re good.
I am not privy to your financial situation, but can you three pool your resources and find a common platform?
I’m not eligible to vote in your country. In mine, voting is mandatory and there are no stickers, just democracy sausages to aid in the funding for local polling places like schools and community halls.
That’s like asking for an elephant stamp for wiping your butt after going to the toilet.
Voting isn’t an accomplishment, it’s your duty and the reward is the society you live in.
If you don’t have any hair, it won’t change colour…
(It’s a joke, laugh)
Also, not for nothing, the human body changes daily. I’d recommend that you get used to it before you have an unhappy life pursuing battle against the inevitable.
I’m fairly sure that the price information shown on a Google Search result page is advertising that comes from a different source than the results do.
As far as I know, you could write a plugin for SearXNG to query suppliers and format the output as required.
I think that Google Shopping might be queried in the same way, but I’ve never looked into it deeply.
No, you didn’t “edit” your mistake, you completely changed the meaning of your response which makes anything after it look absurd.
You originally stated that an algorithm was intelligence, the implication being that using your logic, you thought that a calculator was intelligent.
As far as the meaning of AI, you clearly don’t understand the landscape surrounding the hyperbolic assertions made by ignorant journalism about the topic.
Machine learning is one aspect of the landscape, useful as it is, intelligence it is not.
LLM emissions on the other hand appear to emulate enough grammatically correct language to fool many people some of the time, leading to their mistaken belief that what is happening is intelligence rather than, at least from their perspective, magic.
(Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. – Arthur C. Clarke)
So, intelligence it is not, Assumed Intelligence is what it is, or autocorrect gone uppity if you prefer, an algorithm either way.
Ignorance is bliss…
A.I. means Assumed Intelligence, despite what you might have read elsewhere. Using it to do “research” is how you’re going to get first hand experience with so-called “hallucinations”.
But you do you…
As opposed to Arabic speakers in the other party?
I’m an industry professional in ICT with 40 years experience.
I’ve come to form the view that industry certification is a vendor lock-in process created solely for the purpose of generating a guaranteed income stream for that vendor.
If your employer wants to spend its money on certification, by all means go for it as a learning experience.
If you have to pay for it yourself, I’ve yet to see any evidence that they represent a return on investment of any kind in your career.
That’s not to say that learning should be abandoned, quite the opposite. In this industry, if you’re not learning, you’re going backwards.
Stay curious, read verociosly and try to figure out how stuff works and more importantly, how it breaks.
How is this infuriating?
Would you like to sleep in a bed with clean sheets and have a shower in a clean cubicle?
How do you think that this happens?
Yeah, good luck with that. The Facebook bots are so bad, they literally hammer sites into the ground, to the point where they’re actively being blocked.
Where is this “community” you speak of?
The word you’re looking for is “curmudgeon”.
What I was actually trying to do is encourage a discourse that furthered society, rather than rehash a trope such as the one found at the source of this thread.
I’m not confident that this will actually eventuate here, but I’m hopeful that someone will pleasantly surprise me.
I was recently introduced to a Microsoft focused Managed Service Provider who told me to my face that they absolutely adopted it in their business to “help run it”.
After that I stopped listening to anything they had to say.
Microsoft has very deep tentacles all over the Australian Government, even more after they donated some money for a random new initiative which does nothing for society and in my opinion absolutely benefits the Microsoft bottom line.
We’ve had “Cash for Comments”, this is “Government Bought and Paid For”…
I’m still a “native” pendant and use Docker to bridge the gap.
