Debian get it from the source

Yeah they win purely on marketing be that fud or monopolization of standards like file formats. If it was a fair fight open source would be the standard. I kinda wish there was an org who's job was to just advertise open source software to regular people all around the world. The best way for people to switch their applications on windows to open source ones then move to Linux after they feel comfortable.

I also think the fact that it's open source kind of takes the mystery out of the ai game and since it's said to be preforming as well as ChatGPT. Takes the wind out of any hardware partners of Openai.

I could not agree more the one hope I have is the concept of open source and free software. That is the one concept humanity got right. It's not perfect but it's the one small glimpse of a star trek like world.

I mean anything can be a dildo if you are brave enough and some of anything is plastic.

Note I don't think this has anything to do with sex toys and to it's not plastic pollution is laughable.

It's in reality it's somewhere in the middle. There aee definitely people out there that don't want to see anything non white being represented as anything other than subservient to Whites. But on the other side some elements of Hollywood or any production companies use inclusivity as a shield to stamp down any criticism no matter how much is constructive. Because at the end of the day they don't care about the art they care about their money.

Like for example if you ever read DC comics especially but also another forms of media. They have just been around a long time so it's more pronounced. You will notice a trend of characters that were Red Headed when inclusivity initiatives were publicized they were the characters that changed to Black.

To me you are just swapping one minority to another and patting yourself on the back. Instead of creating dynamic interesing characters that are three dimensional and just so happens to be Black. A good example of this is Static Shock I don't like Virgil becase he is Black I like him because he is a kick ass and interesting character that happens to be black. To do any less is no different than the stereotypes from The Song of the South.

Hell look at South Park Tolkien is one of the kids that has his shit together with awesome loving parents and holds his own with the other kids. He is not a stereotype nor is he held up to be symbol of diversity. Hell the joke token calls that out.

So because corporations uses it as a let's score some points in a hollow cynical way of making money. The small loud voices of bigots are used to get the wider group to come to the products defense for even wider profits for the company.

Because most people are good at least I hope they are and their logic is even if this show is bad I believe in having these voices represented so I will defend it so they make more. To me that's not good enough those voices need to be respected as well. Not used as a gimmick or a pat on the back. It's the equivalent of donating a $1000 and spending $1,000,000 publicizing it.

9/11 was the day optimism died just look at star trek directly before and after with star trek enterprise and everything that came after it.

It was not what was done to America which was horrible. It was how we responded and continue to respond.

AI is not AI until it ether begs us to not be shut off or asks to be shut off due to not wanting to deal with our bullshit.

Very true I have been a Debian user since 98. I have tried other distros but it only lasts a month or two before I come back. Debian just works and if you need something newer testing works great got home use. I can wait a little when freeze happens and worse case I have flatpak and distrobox to fall back on.

Me to few times on snes when it first came out then a few more times on the gba then again on my retro handheld

It's like people forget Ubuntu is based on Debian but I guess with Snapd that may no longer be true.

I have a theory that this movie was cobbled together out of what they could before covid stopped production and before Michelle Yeoh won the Oscar. when it was still a series that's why it's effect and adr riddled. They had to build their story out of what they had. I bet they couldn't afford for her to come back. I could be wrong did she do any marketing for the movie. I only saw kurtzman and the director. When he made that statement that basically undermined the whole premise of star trek.
