Looking at it from another angle: how many tons of CO₂ added to the atmosphere or liters of fresh water supplies disrupted is a tolerable price for a better code review? Temperatures during heat waves are exceeding 50°C in India, causing tens thousands of deaths.
Literally a negligible amount of emissions and seems to be the core of their argument. It doesnt make a dent in any of those stats nor does it have any impact on the temp in India. Reminds me of the people who screech over private jets as if banning them will do anything to slow down climate change. Even his own link "The AI built-out is by far the fastest growing energy consumer in the world" undermines his point showing that computing has been the fastest growing industry for years by % increase (its a tiny % of the total) not by actual power increase. The projected 1.5% to 3% of global energy use seems reasonable given how massive computing is in our day to day lives. We are lucky we have something so efficient that is so useful we spend far more energy on far worse things than computers.
I wasnt a huge bb guy but I'd say no. Lemmy doesnt have the same discussion style as a fourm. Much more drive by commenters and discussion always ends up offtopic or repetitive. But in the positive the freedom allows a lower barrier of entry so more different perspectives and a much more enjoyable posting experience day to day. Getting bitched at by mods or spending an hour crafting a response is a bit much these days.
While the games are playing out there is happiness and excitement and celebration and sure when your team loses it can be sad but its just a game and there are worse things to be sad about. Its nice to feel sad about a game and not im sad because the world is falling apart.
For most people the world cup is not that serious and even for the ultras its more excitement than unhappiness. Think about the world cup as the total journey and not just the end result.
I dont watch it but I did appreciate seeing so many people happy and enjoying something. I think the world needed that little break. Anyway back to regular programming, millions dying in Ukraine and war in the middle east pushing us closer to economic depression.
There is this weird thing in corporate where there is an aversion to teaching certain types of roles. In IT its always expected you learn and you'll be given stuff and told to figure it out even when its completely outside you role and not tech related. But god forbid any other department has to spend 5mins learning how to use their own tool. So many times some fuckwit comes and says "we need this software that gives us a notification for x event its only 10,000 a year" but you already have that feature in your current software just go set it up. "I dont know how to set it up"
ok so learn? Go read the documentation bro I dont know what else to tell you figure it out the software is designed for people like you to do this exact thing. its your software you got it for this purpose you can't just get new software because it wasnt preconfigured exactly how you need.
Does my head in. But ive been mentally defeated now i just laugh and say sure send me your business case and I'll put in the request. Then I get a dogshit AI generated corpspeak slop request. Its always like this will boost productivity and efficiency. Yeah sure it will mate.
Oh god there was one for making AI generated training videos and I'm just thinking but you already send out shitty AI generated training videos why do you need this specific expensive software to do it. This meme ruined my day.
Yeah but thats no different to a normal distro. Normal distros dont just randomly require troubleshooting they are pretty stable given that regressions are caught upstream and bazzite is based off fedora stable.
The majority of linux troubleshooting is when you're trying to get something new working (like a game/software/device) and that will always be extra on non standard distros like bazzite. I would consider this changed once bazzite specific guides/scripts are commonplace.
Ok? So give him money and cruelty let him go kick fat old republicans idc. Dems need to win as many seats as possible to enact any reasonable amount of change.
Thats great but not unique to bazzite. The reason I say its extra troubleshooting required from bazzite is because gaming on linux for people requires configuring for certain games not everything is one click out of the box. When you need to do this on a normal distro its easy because you can do things the intended way by running whatever install script it has but on Bazzite you need to convert the instructions into bazzite specific steps. I see a ton of posts of Bazzite users getting stuck trying to do basic things because bazzite is blocking them I also see a ton of bazzite users having hardware issues because bazzite is blocking it and they dont know how to add a line in the config the bazzite way. Maybe this will get better once more people are using bazzite and more bazzite specific documentation and help threads are available online. unfortunately a lot of the troubleshooting is done in discord so its not searchable which really sucks.
The redditification I see is where people spam 100s of the lowest quality posts across the entire site to push an agenda. Also the comments are all same because no one actually engages with the article and just post a reactionary comment to the headline. I dont know if its because the articles are so low quality there is nothing to engage with, no one cares enough to read the article or everyone is so ideologically aligned the response is the same.
Is it really that hard to see why people like Kylie Jenner would like this tech? Taking videos from your exact POV is appealing. They dont think or care about the privacy aspects and are likely already completely brought into a world of Meta/google/apple tendrils in every part of their life.
Pretty sure monero is ment to be CPU mined. Llm can be done on a CPU its just really slow.
