I saw a short clip from a recent Elon Musk interview. In it, he mentioned that AI is already being taught to lie.
Normally I would say trusting elon's word is as safe as trusting Bill Gates, or Google's word, but in this case, I may make an exception and say that they are being taught to lie. Although not consciously no doubt. 
Btw, for some laughs and giggles, everyone look at this:

Hello. Because this is peace of crap.
Really? What is a peace of crap?
I know what a piece of crap means, but peace of crap? Not sure.

This could be potentially helpful for me on any operating system as well and other people's too.
Does anyone know how to disallow the parameter that allows the user to become root?
doas -s
keeping all the power doas already has, but without allowing user to become fully root by doas -s and only that.
su must remain the same though as a huge edit and as said, the rest of doas as well.

No. I'm saying that the vapid posts of some forum members might be so egregious that other forum members might avoid going down a similar path.
Ah okay...
Oh and speaking of egregious, merry christmas!
Even though its nowhere near the actual holiday and makes no sense to say so.
Sometimes I amuse myself too much
xD
Ps, I bet the war on christmas will start a month sooner than last time on a very specific channel that I will call fox.
LOL!

Usually tty1-tty4 work and in my experience, the others are not so great and refuse to work.
I could get in only into 1 tty. I'll soon check what /etc/inittab says. Maybe something is still missing or Fujitsu's keyboard is a bit faulty.
It kind of made sense that i cannot get into root account by using "su -" if i enter wrong password too many times. But now i think that it could be unrealiable caps lock key/light also.
That does happen... hence why I immensely detest the caps lock button...

rtl8188fu. I wish but it needs firmware to function. Its supported by Linux 6.2 if CONFIG_RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED=y. Rather than using dkms I have built a 6.2+ kernel with support for it and placed the firmware in /lib/firmware/rtlwifi.
So it requires proprietary firmware then eh...
Damn...

Why should it be? Showcasing stupidity might be a positive and informative experience for some. IOW . . . don't post detritus that deserves to be taken down in the first place . . .
Your saying that Google's polluting of the environment is a positive even phrased that way?
Irony...
Sounds like subterranean level foolishness.

I created a topic and every time I go to it, the counter refills by 1
So you can get as many views as you want by going between the topic and another page, the counter does not show the actual number of people who have viewed the topic
No, this is not normal, clearly we have a mystery on our hands...

@stopAI qemu has kvm inside of it already, last I checked.
Or at least, that's my experience. Though it could be different on debian based distros.

If it wasn't for this Wifi dongle that only recently got supported in the Linux kernel (its one of those nasty Realtek ones) I would still be using FreeBSD now. (Not throwing any shade on Devuan
)
Which one is that?
Is it usable only with free software?

golinux wrote:@brday . . . I don't understand your question. AFAIK weekly builds of the daedalus (testing) installer-iso are updated every Monday and available for download on our mirrors.
My question was about the repositories, latest or quarterly. In the system installation or already installed system, is there any way to modify the file containing the repositories, changing the quarterly repositories for latest repositories?
Do you mean like how archlinux based distros can be modified to build differently via PKGBUILDs?
Aka, do you mean the equivelant of PKGBUILDs in Deb format? Assuming such a thing even exists...
Not insane to think it might though.
That's a good question if so.
#615 Re: Devuan Derivatives » JWM KIT love fest » 2023-05-10 23:52:06
@jwmkit what about cpu resources for jwmkit on daedalus vs chimaera
Memory usage doesn't have much effect of any kind imo unless it is extremely significant
For me, I would think cpu usage is probably more of a drain, on battery life more than memory usage anyhow and display more than both.

Another Hinton interview from Amanpour & Company
Hmm... this sounds more like a reason to kill Google.
Google's name comes from nonsensical babbling from a mathematician's child
Funny thing...
That's currently how intelligent it is even now as to how good of an idea it was and is now.
HINT:
It was an extremely awfully dangerously dumb idea!
Just to clarify quickly, the corporation itself needs to be killed! I am not talking about the people for those who might be stupid enough to misunderstand.
#617 Re: DIY » [SOLVED] Anyone know how to use privoxy? » 2023-05-10 23:41:48
I found this https://www.privoxy.org/gitweb/appendix … 68ace1f2df
that suggests match-all.action has the default settings. The actions defined in my match-all.action look the same as the standard.Medium definition in default.action so maybe you're already using medium.
Seems I had to enable-edit-actions by changing 0 to 1
then go to here:
http://config.privoxy.org/show-status
And edit user.actions
More info here as to what I mean
https://sourceforge.net/p/ijbswa/support-requests/1754/
I wasn't completely clear on how to edit before of course though, but yeah.

"su: authentication failure". Makes me think that i have "locked myself out", kind of. Got the password wrong too many times, i mean.

To both of you anyone else who will reply, in simple words, I just want to know exactly what I need to change in the config user.action in order to turn on medium mode.
Standard mode is just too weak, for my taste.
Although, their documentation doesn't give me an answer as to how to modify for that.

IMO that reflects the chaotic minds of the creators. Humanity is generally devolving. Not to worry . . . AI will eventually be in charge and very little thinking from humans required . . .
To be honest, neither the current pattern nor AI would be much better as leaders.
Too far to any direction, left ot right, leads to dictatorship once people get fed up and someone shows up to deceive them knowing they are so fed up, that they will be easy to trick.
This is how so many dictators including how Hitler got into power.
That being said, I am more concerned about the right wing right now.
Adopting a bunch of bernie sanders plans would actually move things to the middle at this point.
I have said this before, but its still something I think is true.
I don't care what the rich want or their supporters.
Ruffle their feathers till they choke on their own fumes if that's what it takes to shut them down. Let them get angry, maybe if real hope exists, they will give up or if needed, their anger will make them expire. I would prefer them to repent or at least give up, but greed is a deadly thing. Arrogance leads to every problem including that.
Btw, fun fact, I detest the ideals of liars and manipulators.

nor sure i understand. so you want to resize luks partition? other partition? there's only one partition?
you can't disable luks temporarily. there are ways to disable completely (under certain circumstances) but not temporarily.
but you can resize luks partition like any other one. involves a few extra steps, but not impossible.btw, you can use nbd mount for qcow2 image, and gparted on that afterwards.
That would probably also work. Thanks

I wanted to set its default mode to medium and have it adblock from that mode.
But I don't know what I need to do, to make it work.
Aka, am I supposed to put # behind the cautious one?
Or is it something else? I have no idea...
Anyone who can give me a hint of what such a config would look like, let me know.
It's downright bizarre the way they set up the conf.
