I wonder if any lifeforms evolving in that 5G condition have figured out how to use the helium to lighten their load.
Or maybe they use it to raise the pitch of their voices. I imagine that sentient beings which evolved at 5G might have deep, rumbling voices...
What would be REALLY exciting - over and above finding intelligent extraterrestrial non-human life - is discovering that they could metabolize helium.
is the latest food-fad for MAGA, like seed oil.
I hear that semen is high in protein. Coincidence? I think not!
I mostly agree with you. But it has not been my experience that "printing is easy via CUPS".
Setting up a printer connected directly to your computer is often fairly easy if the printer is a popular one. Setting up a less popular printer, or a printer on your LAN - wired or wireless - can be a real shitshow.
Admittedly, I'm a bit of a GUI suck. But I have been using Linux for going on two decades now, and the fact that setting up a printer causes me grief does not bode well for the average Windows user migrating to Linux.
The need for local software is almost gone.
The perceived need for local software is almost gone. When an internet connection is unavailable or undesirable for some reason, you may be sorry you gave up the autonomy which local software provides...
I have been doing this as a hobby for over two decades.
Are your compositions available to listen to on a website somewhere? Based on the musicians and albums you mentioned, I might enjoy your work.
Who talks about history?
Those who aren't doomed to repeat it.
So echo chambers for singers with weak voices are still OK, right?
Were you being clever and using "echo chambers" and "weak voices" as double entendres, or was that just a happy accident?
lets ban Electric Guitars and Digital Audio Workstations, VST plugins, digital mixing desks, anything made with a computer of any sort needs to be labelled, we cant have this electrifled slop tainting our nicely fixed "charts".
Your argument is a textbook illustration of false equivalence. Your examples describe music in which humans composed the music - choosing the notes, writing the melodies, and telling the synths what notes to play. With AI slop music, that isn't true.
The key point isn't the amount of electronics nor the number of computers used in making the music. It's whether the music is created in the minds humans or the pseudo-minds of LLMs.
Not sure if they contain as much info as the original sources, but they're much easier to read for most Slashdotters.
Fair point. I would add that modern media does a great job of setting the lower ranks of society against each other so the upper crust have less - and less organized - opposition to worry about. The aristocrats have always gaslit the commoners; now we commoners join in and gaslight each other.
ABC accuses FCC. NBC reports. The FBI investigates. WTF. OMG.
You missed the granddady of all those: TLA.
This would be a good time to point out that every political argument has two sides and two points of view.
I don't even stop watching cat videos to join a political argument unless it has at least three sides / points of view. Part of the problem with today's politics is the lack of nuance that has everyone defending turf rather than discussing ideas, concessions, and compromises. The "two sides" assumption feeds that monster.
"I don't view the FCC as the speech police," he (Carr) told POLITICO this week
I'm sure what Carr said there is the truth. I'm also sure that if he substituted "thought" for "speech" he'd be lying through his teeth.
If you remove Windows (and Office), MS technology is just a 3rd rated joke these days.
And if you keep Windows and Office, MS technology rises to 1st place in the joke department!
The more they over-think the plumbing the easier it is to stop up the drain.
