  • For real. How can we get AI to break up with us and go away?

  • Yeah, for eleventy-bajillion dollars worth of AI credits. Why use pesky money, when you can pay in pretend currency from an overinflated system backed up by an endless trail of IOUs?

  • The clue is in the directions: REISUB

    • Hold Alt + Print Scr
    • Then type R E I S U B slowly.
      • Give a 2-3sec pause between presses to be sure.

    You can look up what each letter does, as each one performs a different function when combined with Alt + Print Scr.

    ETA: I seem to recall that you can enter the sequence quicker than that, as I believe I used to, but it's probably good to give your system time to perform each function, especially if you're trying to rescue it.

  • top of their fields

    lmao as if they are some kind of great thinkers. Motherfucker, you just have an absurd amount of wealth and don't grasp that being born rich isn't the same as having intelligence or qualifications. I don't see any of y'all with Nobel Prizes, shut the fuck up.

    The only thing y'all are experts in is ratfucking humanity.

  • Sweet. I'm set for life, and I'll get to be one of those devs that tells the bosses what I've decided to work on.

  • Neat, I didn't know that was possible

  • They could, but that would mean water treatment before being used (money their profit-driven asses refuse to spend). It's why they always go for drinkable aquifers: the water is already high-quality, and fuck everybody who needs it to live!

  • And the DoJ is trying to prevent xAI from having to go through a current lawsuit over their unlicensed gas turbines, because they power the data centers for Grok.

    Brazen corruption and ineptitude from top to bottom.

  • Amazing. Given how much wealth the top 10% own, it's basically only the wealthiest—who have enough income to exist in a different tier of society—who think AI will have a positive impact. The other 6% must be their sycophants and shills.

  • And exactly as predicted, the surveillance creep begins its next steps, with more to come.

  • Some US States do not buy back excess electricity, no.

  • Just more proof that there's two tiers of justice. "Wanna put solar panels on your roof? Better hope your HOA is cool with that. Fuck no, we won't buy back your excess electricity. Also, we're taking away the tax incentives and subsidies, and we hope you get turbocancer."

    But we need Melon Husk to operate his unlicensed gas turbines, because we need Grok to tell us what to do in Iran. That's not a joke, btw, that's what the DoJ said.

    The memorandum [stating that xAI should be exempt from this federal regulation and] filed by the Justice Department said that Grok is one of four AI models that support “mission-critical operations,” such as its recent strikes in Iran.

  • I did a pure Arch setup in a VM before I made the ultimate switch to CachyOS. I did not use the installer script but followed the guide on the wiki to get the basics running, and then I customized from there.

    And while I'm glad I got that experience, because it taught me how much is really going on under the hood, I discovered that I simply don't enjoy that level of tinkering. It's not laziness, it's a lack of enjoyment towards the process.

  • Why you should self-host: Exhibit A

  • Basically, Microsoft Places and Teams have received workplace check-ins via Wi-Fi. The idea is that if an employee arrives at the office and connects to their enterprise network, their profile status indicator will show them as being present in the office.

    Joke's on you. My work is so stingy, they don't offer WiFi to employees. Also, I've blocked location permissions in Teams, just in case.

  • How is it not? They didn't take over the core projects, they took over the midstream distribution.

  • You're only affected if you use the AUR. As far as I understand it, the core packages themselves are fine, so this is more of a MitM attack, where somebody compromised the package download streams

  • I see the web fracturing into a gigantic swamp of corporate AI slop and a tiny pool of the indie web.

  • Hilarious
