Autist here, i refuse orders on principle, the only way people can get me to do anything is to have me decide that i agree on doing so.

My expectations if i was ever forced in a military setting would be to get punished for Insubordination at a constant rate, i assume to get beaten, locked up, be given the extra shitty food (which i just wouldn’t eat).

When it comes to being put under pressure i have a lifetime of experience. They can hurt, torture me all they want but will never rule over my independent thoughts.

I am no hero, nor a vigilante but simply holding on to what i know is right is what gives me strengt. And while i expect coming out bruised, broken and traumatised it will stil not be close to the horrors my own mind will inflict on me for going against my nature.

Whether I would actually shoot someone giving me orders, depends on the person, the context and the orders. But chances are they will already know i am more trouble then worth something to them and wont be handed a weapon.

I wont be home till quite a few hours.

But also its general boilerplate enough an ai can help you get you one according to your own preferences.

There are also a number of examples online.

This one looks pretty interesting https://github.com/panchi64/auto-ytdlp

Technically a raspberry pi does not need to be an internet connected device but also consider,

• Smart fridges
• robot vacuums/lawn mowers
• some lightbulbs

Txt file with favorite channels as input for a yt-dlp download script schedule. Combined with a selfhosted invidious and freetube desktop app for other then favorite videos.

Honestly I am really tired of jumping trough hoops, have to make sure yt-dlp and invidious use a proxy (cloudflare warp) or google will ban your ip for being a bot.

But having to deal with the actual YouTube site or reopening my google account is worse. Its not even (but still also) the ads at this point but pure resentment against big tech.

Once detail is removed it can never be restored faithfully. Ai can generate details and an individual may not detect much difference but in direct comparison it will be different.

If you somehow include the details as data all combined in a compressed format you save space but the result is not a lower res, but a lossless compressed native res in which case upscaling is irrelevant.

He was bad at his job and did nothing to deserve an extra pip.

/s because my conscious can’t handle stating this otherwise.

As a result i bet most of these fascists will be capable of having mentally healthier lives resulting in them sobering up and stop being fascists.

For most it is a mental disorder and it can be cured with proper education and currently unaffordable therapy.

Since being a fully developed adult i more and more discover that i am full of phrases that i picked up/copied with intonation included but that i don’t actually understand and can’t really grammatically dissect to understand either.

The problem is i interpreted many of them a wrong way, so I believe i am expressing x as being helpful/friendly, but they understand y as mocking them or something completely different.

I would need a more specific example of this but if y already does not make sense then it makes some sense that z, which is a response to it, doesn’t either.

Personally i have used sarcasm this way where i respond to nonsense with nonsense. Because i want to point out that it is nonsense and the more socially friendly way to do so is by pretending it made sense sarcastically.

Some level of greed is normal in humans.

Excessive greed, especially when it damages others, is a mental illness.

I have no idea what was up with the multiple steam windows, it did feel like he was actually cursed when that happened.

But the “weird control” issue in l4d2 which was then solved by using a custom launch command found on protondb… thats super real.

Eventually you learn to check protondb as a habit the second you encounter any kind of game issue but for a newcomer thats another hurdle.

Companies suing the government for taxes that they just pass on to consumers is both the bread and the circuses of the modern age.

Plan9 makes you into a fossangel and also a bun!

Yes i am a devote follower of “shameless plug warning” analognowhere

When i think of the (gnu+) linux experience i think of software that can be run on almost any hardware to fit whatever purpose that hardware needs.

Personal computers are a big part of modern life yes but statistically they are a very small portion of what is out there.

The context of my comment is about “how the future of technology may look like from the perspective of the person you replied to when they worked at Microsoft 25y ago. You decided to make this about desktop marketshare. That is the strawmen.

And to answer your latest strawmen. A dehumidifier is built to dehumidify, not to edit photos, just like your modem is built to arrange your acces to the internet and download gimp, not to edit photos. That modem is also running the linux kernel btw.

So to summarize,

When you look at this tiny specific section of all computer hardware, then windows is still on top.

Okey.

Android, Robot vacuums, smart tvs, some airconditioning and air fryers, smartfridges, doorbell cameras… they most likely all run a version of the linux kernel. Consumers own more Linux than windows devices and don’t even know it.

And this was already true before valve quite literally started creating consumer gaming hardware with a full linux desktop experience, of which again some people have these and don’t even realise it is.

Its a different scrabble now.

I don’t know if this is on purpose, but if it is then it is brilliant advertising. I wan’t to know everything there is to know about this company now.

Even on a day at home.

Its the light, the noises outside and the possibility that others may ring your doorbell/call you.

I do enjoy a sunny day but the only time i can rest is in darkness.

The only solution is getting a smart fridge for each household member.

I am pretty sure anyone will still be able to install a distro/fork from a free country, but steam is unlikely to go this route because convenience is part of the package. They may not even care to resist because they already ask your age for the steam store.

I am more curious what this will do for non standard devices with multiple users. Even kitchen equipment may run a derivative of linux these days and they don’t come with keyboard access.
