You seem to be a computer scientist.

Nope.

Try to imagine AI which is thinking how it got its thoughts.

Machines don't think . . . but then most humans don't either . . .

Interesting interview with Audrey Tang, Taiwan’s Fmr. Minister of Digital Affairs on AI, Elections, and China. Open Source mentioned several times and his book, “Plurality”, is a free download. Here's the blurb from Amanpour & Company:

"When it comes to any election, technology enables the dissemination of important information. How might technology be leveraged to stop the spread of fake content? Audrey Tang is an expert in this field. Formerly Taiwan’s Digital Affairs Minister, Tang has used a wide range of strategies to address this problem. Tang's book “Plurality” details how the internet, which is a divisive space for so many, can also provide immense opportunities for bridge building and collaboration. The author spoke with Hari Sreenivasan."

All human perception and the fruit obtained therefrom is bananas!

@quickfir . . . Perfect! Either I am missing something or this thread has been completely derailed . . .

I thought this was the joke thread . . . sad

In case you haven't heard . . . the latest iPhone released yesterday is stuffed with AI goodies including chatgpt and toys to play with like creating your own avatar. Good grief! A digital lobotomy!!

Thanks for this. When I finally get to Daedalus will come in very handy . . .

golinux muses that Devuan has the best jokes in great numbers while there are barely enough hands on deck to do what needs to be done to keep Devuan alive . . .

Dowse has been available in Dyne's offerings since about the time they started the Devuan project. There was a live demonstration at the Conference. It provides a way to turn off those phone home devices:

Question I don't have any phone-home or other devices needing wifi . . . everything is wired. Am I still at risk for wifi messing with my machine(s) if wifi isn't activated on my account or router?

@zapper . . . Resistance is futile. You have been assimilated . . .

#590 Re: Devuan » Debian looking to integrate systemd-boot » 2024-06-03 17:50:24

Why would you assume that? The relationship has not been friendly or cooperative since before the farcical 2014 General Resolution.

Here' how that went down . . .
Combatting revisionist history

Even before that, things were quite heated and unfriendly on all Debian channels.

@jeudi . . . don't be so hard on yourself. It takes time to get familiar with where resources are located on a new-to-you forum. wink

#599 Re: Other Issues » Packages version (suggestion) » 2024-05-22 14:29:34

That is a Debian not a Devuan issue as most of our packages come directly from upstream. Have you checked the backports repo for newer versions?

Note that Daedalus is not "Dead----". This is important for those doing a search of this forum. I corrected your first post earlier but perhaps you could correct the spelling in the post immediately above? Thanks!
