One law, which took effect immediately, makes it illegal to distribute “materially deceptive audio or visual media of a candidate”

Genuinely fantastic.

in the 120 days leading up to an election and in the 60 days following an election.

…why would you restrict it like that…?

Now get out there and make me some goddamn money _{huh huh}

Note that some issue devices have VT-x disabled and the bios locked down by Corp IT for one reason or another, so a VM may not actually be possible from the work issue device here.

Tbh, just run the Ubuntu box headless and ssh into it. You can do anything you’d need to. Even better, swap it to Debian or something like that, because Ubuntu is unfortunately kinda undergoing gradual enshitification lately.

It really does beggar belief. They used to be THE one to beat. Now they’re hemorrhaging money and reputation, and figuring out how to deal with a multi-generational lithography deficiency - not to mention, the implications that that problem has on their lack of testing rigor, improper QC reporting processes, or both.

So, thank you, Finance and MBA assholes, for driving a titan of American industry into the ground, I guess. I wish you’d all get fired, but you won’t, I’m sure.

Tbh I don’t recommend Ubuntu to people anymore

Yeah I’m still on my 5950X and it’s an absolute champ in terms of CPU load. Its second incarnation when I eventually upgrade is going to be a proxmox box.

My 3080 FE is starting to choke though… starting to get stutters and freezing and framedrops, and once in a while a full system lockup when I’m in Forza Motorsport… thinking of doing a coppermod to see if that addresses it, but I’m worried the GDDR may have just had to put up with too much heatsoak and might be going out :(

Get out of my head charles

I mean, I rotate between games, movies, and series. But then again I’m a millennial on the wrong side of 35, so get off my lawn, you goddamn hooligans

Well, I blame your mother.

That is precisely what my username is referencing :) and I love it when people recognize it in the wild!

And yeah, I too was crestfallen when he passed :(

Edit: whoever downvoted you is an asshole. Like… why?

I Feel like this joke went over a lot of peoples heads

Lmao this is precisely how I thought this would turn out.

I mean, I was already radicalized in that respect, but it’s definitely reaffirming that radicalization.

But also: I fuckin told you so. This progression was so blindingly obvious from the get-go.

Yeah, that’s definitely a quandary. But in the case of people who know they might be (or have been previously) targeted with that sort of bullshit, it’s a prudent precaution in the US (and Canada too, evidently)

Don’t need to arrest the suspect if they’re dead taps forehead

Yeah the cops on this side of the pond are crazy, and their leadership staff tend to fall a lot further into the “complete psycho” side of the human spectrum.

Thanks for sharing that story though - the dichotomy is absolutely fucking wild, especially considering we’re talking about Northern Ireland.

Poisoning data LLMs are using as training sets is a way of life. Make it a part of yours <3

Ubuntu is very much NOT the best of the distros anymore.

I’ve been using Kinoite on one of my daily drivers, and so far I’m loving it.

A lot of people enjoy solving tricky and nuanced problems, and this is one. The fact that it yields really awesome outputs like this is, to some degree, just a bonus.
