Factual reality. I recently installed w11 on a virtual machine (I was trying to write a cross-platform thing) and to create a local account I literally had to open a terminal during the first boot process, type a couple commands quickly (yes, timing is apparently important), unplug the (virtual) ethernet cable, and reboot.
And people still have the gall to tell me windows is easy.
Cosa spinge una persona a voler lasciare la propria famiglia, i propri amici, il posto fisso e la propria casa di proprietà per cercane una altrove, a più di 50 anni?
Ognuno potrebbe avere una risposta diversa. In questa puntata io ti dico la mia.
È stata una decisione sofferta ma anche spontanea. Oggi ne posso parlare avendo le idee chiare, ma non è maturata in un solo giorno: ci sono voluti anni.
Le patologie di cui soffro hanno dato la spinta più importante, ma non è stata l'unica componente.
In questo primo episodio di questo diario di viaggio inizio a cercare la mia meta finale, dove vivere un giorno.
Il viaggio ha inizio!In questo primo episodio di Verso Casa, racconto il momento in cui il modo in cui pensavo al viaggio si è trasformato.Non più soltanto relax, fotografia o esplorazione: ma necessità.

Violent crimes committed by foreigners are covered in the media far more frequently than is justified by their share in police crime statistics, a new study has found.
Buongiorno a tutti, Ho installato GIMP 3.0.6 su Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS. Il programma funziona perfettamente. Ho scaricato il file gmic_3.6.3_gimp3.0_ubuntu25-04_plucky_amd64.zip dal sito G'MIC - GREYC's Magic for Image Computing: A Full-Featured Open-Source Framework for Image Processing - Download . Ho estratto il file zip e copiato la cartella “gmic_gimp_qt” nella directory: /home/paolo/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins. La cartela gmic_gimp_qt contiene due file: gmic_gimp_qt (eseguibile) e README.txt.

Dopo "Five Dice, All Threes", album viscerale e coinvolgente del 2024, questo EP si presenta sia come complice di quell'album sia come mondo autonomo a sé stante.

Southeastern, uscito nel 2013, mi era piaciuto così tanto da diventare non solo una sorta di mantra giornaliero che usciva dalle casse dello stereo, ma era stato in grado di asfaltare ogni concorrente e fregiarsi della palma del miglior disco del 2013. Un'opinione condivisa non solo da parte della critica italiana, soprattutto quella che guarda alla musica proveniente dagli States, ma anche dal pubblico americano, che premiò quell'album spingendolo alla posizione numero 23 della top 200 di Billboard. Southeastern ha rappresentato la rinascita artistica di un musicista che, dopo la militanza nei Drive- By Truckers, aveva smarrito la rotta, affogando il proprio tormento interiore in fiumi d'alcool e nebbie oppiacee... artesuono.blogspot.com/2015/09…

Top White House officials told a reporter, “Your mom,” when asked who picked the location for Donald Trump’s upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin.
Trump announced Thursday that he will soon meet with Putin in Budapest, Hungary, to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine. The choice has raised questions, because Putin is wanted by the International Criminal Court. However, Hungary appears unlikely to cooperate with the warrant and is in the process of leaving the court, the Associated Press reports.
When HuffPost asked the White House who chose the location for the meeting, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt replied, “Your mom did.” White House Communications Director Steven Cheung also followed up with, “Your mom,” the outlet reports.

In just over a week, nearly 42 million people in the U.S. who get federal food assistance are in danger of seeing their benefits disappear because of the ongoing federal shutdown.
About 1 in 8 U.S. residents get an average of $187 a month through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. One of those people is Shari Jablonowski. The 66-year-old widow, who lives outside Pittsburgh, is bracing to lose the $291 in food aid her disabled nephew gets each month. She raised her now-adult nephew and two nieces as her own, and even without this looming crisis, her budget is a tightrope.
"This month, I could not afford to pay … anything, gas or electric," she says. Instead she paid her monthly car payment, since she needs to drive to doctors' appointments, visit her mother, and one niece uses the car to get to work.
What? Corporate entities whose sole reason for existence is the exploitation of the natural world for profit lied through their teeth about how they are gonna stop exploiting the natural world for profit?
More than a month later, the local congressional office in Tucson is shuttered and the phones ring unanswered. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has refused to swear in Grijalva, a Democrat, while the government is shut down, leaving the residents of her sprawling southern Arizona district without a vote in Congress — or help back home.
“Here I am paying taxes to the federal government,” Wilson said from her Tucson office this week, “and not only is it closed but I don’t have a representative either.”
Grijalva spent much of the week in Washington unable to access government email and federal systems. While most congressional offices are buzzing with activity, her suite on the Hill remains mostly quiet and many desks sit empty. She doesn’t have the resources or authority, she said, to staff a district office or assist constituents who try to contact her. Without security privileges, she’s barred from bringing so much as a hammer into the Capitol for hanging pictures. It would be considered a weapon, she said.

I came across this article in another Lemmy community that dislikes AI. I'm reposting instead of cross posting so that we could have a conversation about how "work" might be changing with advancements in technology.
The headline is clickbaity because Altman was referring to how farmers who lived decades ago might perceive that the work "you and I do today" (including Altman himself), doesn't look like work.
The fact is that most of us work far abstracted from human survival by many levels. Very few of us are farming, building shelters, protecting our families from wildlife, or doing the back breaking labor jobs that humans were forced to do generations ago.
In my first job, which was IT support, the concept was not lost on me that all day long I pushed buttons to make computers beep in more friendly ways. There was no physical result to see, no produce to harvest, no pile of wood being transitioned from a natural to a chopped state, nothing tangible to step back and enjoy at the end of the day.
Bankers, fashion designers, artists, video game testers, software developers and countless other professions experience something quite similar. Yet, all of these jobs do in some way add value to the human experience.
As humanity's core needs have been met with technology requiring fewer human inputs, our focus has been able to shift to creating value in less tangible, but perhaps not less meaningful ways. This has created a more dynamic and rich life experience than any of those previous farming generations could have imagined. So while it doesn't seem like the work those farmers were accustomed to, humanity has been able to shift its attention to other types of work for the benefit of many.
I postulate that AI - as we know it now - is merely another technological tool that will allow new layers of abstraction. At one time bookkeepers had to write in books, now software automatically encodes accounting transactions as they're made. At one time software developers might spend days setting up the framework of a new project, and now an LLM can do the bulk of the work in minutes.
These days we have fewer bookkeepers - most companies don't need armies of clerks anymore. But now we have more data analysts who need to understand the information. In the future we may need fewer software coders, and in turn, they will likely be many more software projects, heck there will likely be a lot more software that's all seek to solve new problems in new ways.
How do I know this? I think history shows us that innovations in technology always bring new problems to be solved. There is an endless reservoir of challenges to be worked on that previous generations didn't have time to think about. We are going to free minds from tasks that can be automated, and many of those minds will move on to the next level of abstraction.
At the end of the day, I suspect we humans are biologically wired with a deep desire to output rewarding and meaningful work, and much of the results of our abstracted work is hard to see and touch. Perhaps this is why I enjoy mowing my lawn so much, no matter how advanced robotic lawn mowing machines become.
Hi everyone, just wanted to share – I've finished the Shavian cover for my novel, Blue Are the Hills. The full Shavian transliteration is complete, and it's almost ready for release (now I'm just doing battle with Scrivener to compile it properly). There are almost no modern novels in Shavian, so I'm looking forward to sharing mine. It's a literary sci-fi novel about identity, hope, and transhumanism. Only a couple of things left to do and it will be ready. This has been a very fun project!
What's Shavian? I'm glad you asked! It's an alphabet created by John Kingsley Read in response to a challenge by George Bernard Shaw, intended to make a lexicon specifically designed for English, in order to make reading and writing English easier.
Here's more info, including many resources (lexicon, guidelines, fonts): shavian.info.
It's fun if you're into linguistics or cryptography at all.

"We emphasise that the current phase requires a unified national position and a national political vision based on unity of voice and destiny, and the rejection of all forms of annexation and displacement in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and Jerusalem," the statement said.
The factions urged an end to "all forms of torture and violations against prisoners in Israeli prisons", and "the need to take all necessary measures to maintain security and stability throughout the Gaza Strip".
There was no mention of disarmament - a thorny issue that is unlikely to come to fruition in its absolute form as the US and Israel have demanded.
Palestinian factions met in Cairo on Friday to lay out the beginnings of a "national dialogue" that will address Gaza's governance and future as part of a Palestinian state, a joint statement on Friday indicated.

The vision of a child bride is a deeply foreign concept to most Americans. Underage marriage is regarded by most as an abroad problem, or the type of detestable horror committed by isolated malcontent cult leaders, later to be turned into a true crime documentary one laments over with their friends.
But child marriage remains legal in the majority of U.S. states, and getting rid of it has proved supremely difficult.
Thirty-four U.S. states still permit a child under the age of 18 to marry — usually with the consent of their parents or a judge. Four states — California, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Oklahoma — establish no minimum age for a minor to enter into a binding legal and social contract. According to a new report from Unchained at Last, a nonprofit advocating for the end of underage marriage exceptions in the United States, and Equality Now, a gender equality nonprofit, over 314,000 marriages involving minors — most between the ages of 16 and 17 — were registered over the course of the last two decades.
Over 80 percent of those marriages involved a girl who was underage (some as young as 10), and most of those marriages were to adult men. The organization’s report found that in that same time frame, over 60,000 of those marriages involved a child that was not legally old enough to consent to sex with their spouse.
If you aren't irate yet, here are two explanations for opposition:
In New Hampshire, where an underage marriage ban was enacted in 2024, one Republican state representative argued that underage marriage was a “legitimizing option” for girls of “ripe, fertile age” who became pregnant before adulthood. In Missouri, a Republican-authored ban was opposed by members of the same party, with one member of the GOP arguing that eliminating child marriage would increase incentives for the pregnant child to seek an abortion.
Let's go back to "some as young as 10." There's no fucking defense for that. The argument is literally, "If you get a preteen pregnant, you should be able to marry her so she doesn't seek out an abortion."
I'm not a total prude here ... I get that there are edge cases like one high-schooler having just turned 18 while his girlfriend is still a sophomore, which to my mind is a morally grey area, but if that's about a pregnancy, that's a separate issue from marriage itself.
This said, knocking up someone one-third your age and needing the law to swoop to your rescue shows some extremely twisted thinking that probably mean being part of the general public is risky. It shouldn't be rewarded with a literal get-out-of-jail-free card.
