its probably the video codec, ads also tend to be very short and are capable of fully buffering, unlike videos, so they can often manage to send properly, compared to a video.

Really efficient video codecs tend to be a real bitch on lower end hardware.

yeah pretty much this, linux just cooks. You gotta let it in the kitchen first.

Also, you might want to consider openscad if you have some adventurous students, it’s quite intuitive if you understand programming syntaxing, and relatively clean and minimal. I’ve long been put off from learning something like freecad because the UI is just an utter mess and has no clear utility to it, but something like openscad is MUCH more accessible to me, even though it may be more restrictive in the long run, having the ability to use it is probably beneficial.

Like i’ve said before, and like i’ll continue to say until people like you and me make a significant dent in this problem, you need to teach kids how to use the things you want them to use, if you don’t teach them linux, they won’t know linux, if you do teach them linux, they will know linux, it’s literally as simple as that, and why anybody is surprised by this baffles me, it should’ve been obvious frankly.

The feeling of being “a real hacker” seems to be very motivational for the youngsters.

kids love to learn, they are literally built for it, they have a high level of neuroplasticity, you just need to give them the tools, the resources, and the ability to do so, and they will do it.

i’ve said it time and time again, the second you simplify an interface, it lessens the bar for entry, we’ve only done this over the last 20 years in tech, it should be no surprise that people who never have to use C drives, don’t know what the fuck a C drive is.

QUICK INDOCTRINATE THEM INTO THE LINUX MASTERRACE!!

.ml is not subtle, they just circlejerk within their sub a shit ton, rather than infesting other communities. Usually the idiots tend to congregate it seems.

scroll through my post history sorting by hexbear lmao

they will quite literally tear you up if you so much as do an outside think, i posted one comment, and got banned immediately.

true, but that’s not as funny.

you guys should ask grok. Wonder what it would say.

i mean, if it’s not directly factually inaccurate, than, it is open source. It’s just that the specific block of data they used and operate on isn’t published or released, which is pretty common even among open source projects.

AI just happens to be in a fairly unique spot where that thing is actually like, pretty important. Though nothing stops other groups from creating an openly accessible one through something like distributed computing. Which seems to be a fancy new kid on the block moment for AI right now.

i still sleep like shit unfortunately…

I blame carrying the weight of a failing humanity on my shoulders. Darned sociology ruining my life!

You can’t say that “they just didn’t think hard enough about it”, just because they arrived at different conclusions.

to be clear, that’s not explicitly what im saying, i’m just proposing that if you were to think hard enough about anything for long enough, it devolves until it cannot devolve anymore. There is some level of arbitrary basis that needs to be defined in order to make a clear comprehensible statement on something. Where that level is just depends on where you stop.

That’s one of the neat things about philosophy: There is no absolutely true framework or theory. It’s all just different ways of looking at things.

it’s definitely one of the most interesting aspects of it as a field. Much like neuroscience, which we still don’t really understand, the only difference is that it doesn’t really have a direct implication in our daily lives lmao. It’s mostly just people with way too much free time thinking about things they probably don’t need to spend time thinking about.

Absurdism is the philosophical theory that the universe is irrational and meaningless.

in it’s most extreme form yes, similar to how nihilism works in it’s most extreme form, however the difference here is that we aren’t talking about an explicitly sterile environment, unfortunately we live in the real world, and as evidenced by this post. My description probably conveys more accuracy and meaning, than the philosophical definition of it, in this case at least.

i mean, in philosophy, if you go far enough nothing matters at all anymore ever, so everything is just nihilism if you think hard enough about it.

regardless of that, which is definitely an interesting point of discussion, this is a post in 196, about a meme, so i feel like i’m justified in that one.

absurdism is very much not "nothing matters"ism.

Absurdism is pushing the boundaries as much as possible within the framework of a traditionally recognized media, art, performance art, movies, shows, whatever.

A great example of this is many of the pieces done by Marina Abramović particularly the rhythm series (btw performance art has some of the most bizarre pieces out there, highly recommend looking into it sometime), or any of her proposed pieces. The whole point of absurdism is a situation that is not physically conceivable. Or outside the bounds of normality to such an extent that it enters a new plane of reality. You could argue that it may even be a hyper-reality.

The point is to demonstrate the arbitrary nature of our lives, everything around us, and how we define it. It’s not that nothing matters, it’s that everything surrounding us has no inherent meaning outside of our commonly accepted frame of reference.

TL;DR absurdism isn’t just nihilism, it’s meta nihilism. Everything matters, but the problem is nobody knows why anything matters, it’s entirely manufactured. There is no set or explained reason for any one thing being any particular way.

any data on this or anything? Or are we just going to say things.

The 2008 crisis was an example of mass fraud

I guess it mostly depends on how you define fraud.

If i buy something from china, and on the way to the US it falls off the boat and into the sea, destroying it forever, is that fraud?

You can’t point to historical data saying your investment strategy is safe, even tho you completely changed the model.

historical data has nothing to do with the safety of investment. That’s like looking at the fatalities in a war, and deriving the danger from being inside of trenches.

The safety is defined as a component of risk, and stated responsibilities. An extremely safe asset would be something like land, it never moves, doesn’t go anywhere, people will always want it for something. Though it’s not an investment.

A safe investment would be something like a long term diversified stock portfolio, or government bonds.

average lemming experience really.

and they aren’t making gen x look very good now are they?

that might be it, it’s definitely an odd sub-genre of music, but there are similar things in other samples pulled into other songs. Vaporwave being a fairly similar aesthetic just sort of backwards.

No idea what the etymology of nightcore is, but i’m sure it’s interesting.
