I used the profile thingy to go from one OS to the other and I think there were no additional steps (or at least they were unsignificant enough so that I dont remember them).

It’s a bit clunky, i think there’s 2 directories to copy/paste, one for profile, one for cache (though 2nd one is probably optional), and i remember having to erase some manually when i choose wrong folder when copying. From Firefox about:profile page, you can open the folder it’s actually using as profile folder to avoid confusion.

I was very sceptical at first, but this article kinda convinced me. I think it still has some bad biases (it often only considers 1 chatgpt request in its comparisons, when in reality you quickly make dozens of them, it often says ‘how weird to try and save tiny amounts of energy’ when we do that already with lights when leaving rooms, water when brushing teeths, it focuses on energy (to train, cool and generate electricity) and not on logistics and hardware required), but overall two arguments got me :

• one chatgpt request seems to consume around 3Wh, which is relatively low
• even with daily billions of requests, chatbots seems to represent less than 5% of AI power consumption, which is the real problem and lies in the hand of corporates.

Still probably cant hurt to boycott that stuff, but it’d be more useful to use less social media, especially those with videos or pictures, and watch videos in 140p

Having read the entire post, i think there’s a misunderstanding :

• this post is about ChatGPT and LLM chatbots in general, not AI as a whole.
• This post claims to be 100% aligned with scientists and that AI as a whole is bad for the environment.
• What they claim is that chatbots are only 1-3% of AI use and yet benefit to 400 million people (rest is mostly business stuff and serves more entreprises or very specific needs), therefore they do not consume much by themselves (just like we could keep 1-3% of cars going and be just fine with environment)

Any vegetable i like fried in a pan, deglazed with any liquid (wine, broth, cream, water), some things to thicken the sauce (cheese, starch, flour), with a bit of any seasoning, and this goes on either pasta, rice or couscous. Very bad for the carbs part though, i admit.

Another option i recently found is kidney beans mashed with a fork, with some onions/garlic/green stuff in tiny pieces, maybe a bit of flour/starch and some seasoning (spices, soy sauce), fried in a layer of oil in a pan, makes very good patties that we really enjoy.

You may want to beneficiate from little performance boost even though you mostly don’t need it and still need python’s advantages. Being interested in performance isnt always looking for the very best performance there is out of any language, it can also be using little tips to go a tiny bit faster when you can.

I’m used to separating breakfast food (cereals, fruits, bread and jelly, crepes, pancakes) and lunch/diner food (carbs, vegetables, sushi, etc), but i’m also used to eating some at the time of the other (dining with crepes or bread, or having breakfast with leftovers of dinner)

4K really weighs heavy in matter of storage space, just multiply 1080p by 4. If you can get that the raw rushes for a 1080p clip would be around 500 Go, then it makes sense that the same in 4k is 4 times bigger. My friends who stores a lot of rushes buys a new hard drive each year or two now that he uses 4k

I agree with you on most points, thanks for your analysis/opinion!

How do you feel about anarchism and/or libertarian communism? (just trying to see how much you think that way because of a sympathy for capital or because of a rejection of the state)

Update KB5053598 is a very simple update that includes “miscellaneous security improvements to internal OS functionality” as well as a servicing stack update. It’s rather basic then but it seemingly introduced a bug that saw Copilot being removed from the operating system.

Is it possible that somehow some component in the update or some dev at Microsoft found Copilot to be too intrusive security-wise and decided to uninstall it ?

If I’m correct, the linux foundation took up development of the Servo engine when Mozilla dropped it. So they don’t focus entirely on Chromium, and may be the ones to take back after Mozilla for Firefox/Gecko engine if needed (you did not said that ofc, but i think it’s important to mention). There’s still a long way to go with new engines such as Servo and Ladybird, but that may be good alternatives in the future.

I would feel okay i think. I only use it when it ends up in my search engine answers, and i think it’s okay, it has both a larger userbase and older history, so for niche subjects and specific questions it makes sense to use it.

But if you feel bad about it, maybe consider creating the communities you would like to see on Lemmy, as others said ! It may be not as hard and time consuming as you think, especially if you find some people to help you or even to entirely transfer the moderation part.

Hyperpop for me

Mid-20s male here. They get to mid-back length now, and i’m overall very happy about it. They sometimes get stuck while in bed or at work but it’s a small price to pay for not bothering with cutting them and it’s really cool to headbang with it. Like others said, some boomers give me a hard time, but on the other hand i get random compliments from strangers so i take that as a win.

It is highly unpopular here to criticize Ukraine, and people kinda have good reasons for it, with all the far-right/trolls/tankies praising Russia and undermining Ukraine support.

Still, and though I support Ukrainians in a war made by Russia, conscription (it’s always forced btw) is something I can’t get over with, it goes against liberty, equality, solidarity, everything i believe in. Fuck armies, anywhere, anywhen, anyhow. It does not mean that they should be unfunded/unsupported/fought against, just that we have to remember that they are bad to the core, and that even when necessary, they should not get any glory, any power or any reward.

Anyway, i hope for peace in Ukraine, that they will get their previous frontiers, and that violences will soon come to an end, so that forced soldiers on both sides and Ukrainian civilians can escape this hell.

Yeah, im with you on that one, i consider to be a anarco-communist myself and i recognize that it is easy to get cult-like about whats really left and even really anarchidt/libertarian.

No wonder why every leftist thinker i know about fought against (what they saw as) sectarianism, thinking freely tends to get you a little sensitive about theory and disagreement, resulting in many movments thinking just slightly different buy treating each other like the worse traitors.

But on a positive note, we tend to get sectarian about theories or practices rather than leader or countries.

Edit : typo

I think i get your point, but if we extend governments to nations, then nations are places in the sense that they are a geographical object. Claiming that nation can be / are evil is another debate, but supposing it is possible, it would then be only imprecise and not wrong to claim that places are evil, for certain types of places could then be (and it’s probably this type of place which is a nation/country that is targeted here)
