Working class doesn’t have the money to change to machine either.

So, what’s the advice that you would give you working class? Pay, pirate or learn?

My desktop is Bazzite and my htpc is Aurora (the non gaming version of Bazzite), so I have to agree with you haha

I feel like the haters didn’t get the joke.

Their computer didn’t come with sense of humor pre-installed, and it’s too hard to do it themselves.

Currently, you’re right. But it’s a bad move, I think, moving forward for valve.

They have already confirmed they want steamOS to be a distro everybody can install on any computer. Being more limited than most distros is going to make it a hard choice to pick. On the deck, it’s fine tuned to that hardware. What is going to offer that Bazzite won’t replicate a few months afterwards, while offering a better general OS experience?

I think that just having layers and a recovery partition that can restore the system while preserving steam games (even if removing all configs) would increase the appeal a lot.

Working class people at large don’t know about these alternatives,

You mean only the elite know about Linux? Preposterous!

*proceeds to clean monocle

Jokes aside, it might be a good time to teach and learn. Or pay, or have less security moving forward.

It was a staple of the “working class” to be resourceful, to know to repair stuff. It’s on Microsoft best interest that you change the computer, that you pay another OEM license, that they can drop support for older hardware… And this will happen again with windows 12.

I’m very interested on a longer explanation of this take, considering how many people use Linux as a replacement for windows.

And if the argument is “not everything that runs on windows works on Linux”, remember that can be said with windows vs Mac, iOS vs android and even windows 10 vs windows 11.

Love Linux and steam deck, but AS IS, steam os is a horrible choice for a desktop general use computer.

It’s immutable without layering, so there are things that you can’t install/keep after an update. Case and point, printers. You can’t print, period. Valve knows, they don’t need a gaming device to print so they don’t care.

Hopefully they will do something about this, but I don’t hold my breath for 2025

The CPU is due to instruction set requirements. The first version of W11 is technically compatible (with hack to pass the checks) with older CPUs than the newer versions. And it’s not Gusty’s guaranteed that there ones that currently can run it will do it after a few updates.

I hate it, and they could have done things to allow more compatibility, but it’s not without a technical reason.

… This is bait right? You want somebody to tell you there’s a simple and free solution, and then you’re going to say it’s a bad solution?

FINE! I’ll bite: Pirated copy of Windows Enterprise LTSC. It’s less useful, more resource hungry, privacy invasive and has worse support for older hardware than Linux though.

Wow. A single user community with multiple posts a day of unfunny memes and misquoted articles.

Is this the kind of people who say Linux users are sad looners?

In all fairness, I wouldn’t even pirate YouTube music. Recommendations are shit

Spotube shows Spotify playlists but uses YouTube music for streaming.

Applying GAN won’t work. If used for filtering would result on results being skewed to a younger, but it won’t show 9 the body of a 9 year old unless the model could do that from the beginning.

If used to “tune” the original model, it will result on massive hallucination and aberrations that can result in false positives.

In both cases, decent results will be rare and time consuming. Anybody with the dedication to attempt this already has pictures and can build their own model.

You can’t merge a generative model and a classification model. You can run then in series to get a bunch of false positives/hallucinations, but you can’t make it generate something from the other model.

Not that I think you will understand. I’m posting this mostly for those moronic enough to read your comments and think “that seems reasonable”

So you need to have a model that generates CP to begin with. Flawless reasoning there.

Look, it’s clear you have no clue what you’re talking about. Stop demonstrating it, moron.

It differs in basically being something completely different. This is a classification model, doesn’t have generative capabilities. Even if you were to get the model and it’s weights, and you tried to reverse engineer an “input” that it would classify as CP, it would most likely look like pure noise to you.

It’s not even “chose an instance”. This is what my journey has been:

1. Chose an instance
2. Write an essay about why you wanted that one 3 never her reply, repeat 1 and 2
3. Get access, then instance goes offline. Repeat 1 and 2
4. Get another instance. They then bock piracy communities. Repeat 1 and 2
5. Land in lemm.ee.
6. Wait until I can block instances to get rid of nuances (everybody knows who I’m talking about)

Now try to get your non tech friends on board.

Still there’s no reason to wait that long. Ban now the supply to the stores and full ban on 2025 if they still have stock.

Any case you’ll say it’s not first hand and therefore invalid.

You also seem to have narrow attention span. Seems the bit about torture, forced medical treatments, detention… Somehow eluded you. You saw the word “individual” and held to that like a Chinese state doctor holds a healthy kidney.

But that happens everywhere, am I right?

Yet here you are, taking about some hypothetical “US propaganda machine”, without making s proper case for it.

This brand of deflection, “well, I’m not denying, but we can’t say for certain, and actually everywhere there are issues” isn’t new nor very effective. You might need to update your training data, give it a few more cycles. At least don’t throw it back to back in the conversion, jus much more noticeable that way.
