Something like 173 million users.

A bowl is most usefull when it is empty serving your personal data to our overlords, the corporations.

That is an important step, yes.

However another important step is that the default distro needs to basically not even highlight that terminal exists.

If you’re trying to learn how to use linux, and step 1 of the tutorial is “open terminal”, you will lose 97% of your new install base. Then headlines will flood that linux machines are being returned in high numbers.

As much as you guys hate to hear this, the first experience for a new linux user needs to be intuitive. Before they even turn the machine on, they have to know how to use this software. Not because they are experts, but because the space and experience guides itself.

Then as you learn, you can customize a bit more, and from there linux can become a rabbit hole. But the point is, let the individual user control the depths which they dive. Because I suspect 90%+ won’t even change the desktop background. And thats ok.

Make it easy for the dummies, but then you individually can tinker if you want to. And it’s linux, so…ya know. Go nuts. But some people don’t want to do all that tinkering. That vanilla experience is what gets remembered to represent that OS. Even if you customized it and experienced it very differently.

Let me get this straight.

AI is trying to be used to influence peoples opinions online, potentially as a tactic to sway public opinion on politics, and help sway elections.

And now, the AI has become racist. So, it’s now trying to promote and normalize the concept of casual racism.

Ugh! Nobody is going to fall for that! People will easily be able to see how wrong that is, and how stupid it would be to elect racists.

looks at who the current president is

…yeah, I may have overestimated the american voting public here. We’re fucked.

Orrrrrr…leave it as sausage size, and put billionaires penises inside! Penises? Penii? Peniii’ses? Words are hard! Off with their dicks!

Found the guy whos 6 year old somehow spent $900 on their credit card in minecraft

You’ll shoot your eye out, Ebenezer Scrooge! Now let these ghosts visit you, and try not to think about the pink slime flowing through the sewers!

I would ask how you know that guy sweats a lot, but then I saw his username.

Fair enough.

Found Owen Wilson!

That depends where you live. I wouldn’t want to live in India, which is crowded as hell. But Half of Canada is basically empty. Half of Australia is basically empty. Some of the states in the USA are basically empty. The majority of russia is empty.

Space isn’t the issue.

Thats been happening since 1996 in Japan, and 1998 in America.

We CAN sustain everybody we have now. It’s just billionaires have decided it’s more profitable to let a huge section of society suffer. The more suffering for us, the more profit for them. But you have to balance it, so it doesn’t lead to revolt.

Thats what ends suffering. Not decreased birthrates, but instead death and revolt of those holding back food and shelter from those that need it, so they can raise prices on unsold units.

Lets just for a moment put the AI portion of this story aside. Let’s just look at this as a politician releasing photos, even if forged, of promoting violence against fictional holiday mascots that literally exist for the sole purpose of making kids happy.

That is what he’s done here today. Regardless of the AI element, I still find that a weird way to project your insecurities. You have to beat up a fictional character because you’re afraid anyone real would come after you.

I’m sure there are bigger losers out there…but none jump immediately to mind.

He might be. I don’t know. I haven’t read them.

But if he IS in there, that’s not the gotcha moment they think it is.

Trump is in the files.

throws trump in the fire

Fuck trump.

Now, if Clinton is in there too as a guilty party?

throws clinton in the fire

Fuck clinton.

Any other questions?

I can almost hear that in Tina Belchers voice.

Difference is, Tina would NEVER defend pedophilia.

Technically 800 IS numerous! It certainly isn’t singular…

Good lord…I am not looking forward to being called a woke libtard for my refusal to rape kids…

“You’re asking ME for my opinion? I don’t know! Fox news hasn’t told me what to think yet! You know I don’t do that on my own…”

Malleys is better.

Lesson 2: I said DON’T shake the baby!!!
