Good. Thanks! It just seemed to spring up overnight-like.

I am learning fdupes right now - I also know I have some big .iso files that I have transferred to my ventoy so they can go.

Is there a path forward for better support of newer hardware on desktop Linux? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Doing it ourselves might have the same effect though - "oh well, they have their own driver they are happy with"

Could the kernel makers create some sort of sandbox to run Windows drivers in - so we ride on Windows coat tails until true Linux drivers are available? Or is the Windows, um DPI (driver program interface) just too different to allow that?

Edit: Then we use the Windows drivers an make loud noises to the hardware mfg that we would really rather have a Linux driver and that they would sell many more of their $hardware if they make one.

Belgium to harness AI to find criminals with first dedicated minister in c/[email protected]

A minister whose job is to promote AI and also promote Privacy - seems like a built-in conflict of interests.

AI systems could be ‘caused to suffer’ if consciousness achieved, says research in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

The Kaylon are the robotic race from 'The Orville'. When they started to show signs of consciousness their makers installed "suffering" which lead to abuse, which led to rebelion and genocide of the maker race (and a mistrust of all biological life).

Do NOT ask the Kaylon about this.

I am hunting all around - I want to change a color but I need to know the "face" that needs changing in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Ok, Now my entire ~.emacs file is:

(set-face-foreground 'mode-line "white") (set-face-background 'mode-line "blue") (set-face-foreground 'minibuffer-prompt "cyan")

I can't get it to accept the 'attribute' part.

set-face-foreground 'default "white" changed the text in the edit area to white, but had no effect on the text described above.

Well it either has to be 3.5" drive then Dual 5.25" drive or the other way around as both the Apple IIC+ and the Floppy Emu only have one drive connector.

AI generated car - What real car is close (lemmy.one)

This car was generated by Night Cafe, does is look like some real car? It's in response to the prompt "Neon Nomad" but I am not getting a car like that when I google. I think it looks jeep-like, and yes I googled "Jeep Nomad", no dice.

My Machine is an i7 laptop with only Intel Graphics. Linux installed (latest Debian) - Can I run my own AI artist?

Night Cafe #sphere-share - for round fun. (lemmy.one)

Not really a challenge, but to join the fun - put something in a sphere, or do something spherical. Let's have a ball with this (yup I went there). Can't offer any sort of prize, other than we all get to enjoy new art.

just tag your new spherical art with "sphere-share"

8 bit era but with 3.5" floppy drive? (lemmy.one)

Were there any 8-bit era computers that had a 3.5" floppy? They probably would have run CP/M. I do have an apple IIC+, but I also would like some sort of Z80 machine.

HP 71B Data Type error (lemmy.one)
 

My 71B is telling me "Data Error" whenever I try to use the variable "F" - any ideas?

Sudden strangeness in PATH (lemmy.one)
 

I have suddenly found that /usr/games has disappeared off my path. Not only that but my normal otherwise but sudo enabled user seems to have a superuser's path?

rhudson@adam:~$ echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

rhudson@adam:~$ id -u 1000

What would have changed suddenly? It was not like this yesterday. kpat is in /usr/games and I was able to launch it from task manager yesterday, but not today.

I have rebooted twice so far. I can run kpat by opening it from Dolphin.

I don't want to have to re-install : ^ (

Mortal Engine SACRAMENTO (lemmy.one)
 

Well try as I might, I could not convince Nightcafe to make this Mortal Engine sized. It insisted it was only tank sized.

Ronald Alan Hudson / Calcula · GitLab (lemmy.one)
 

Calcula is an RPN calculator with 26 stack levels and 26 storage registers. It is not programmable except you get the Pascal source code and you can create new, possibly complex, functions for the calculator.

https://gitlab.com/waspentalive/calcula

I am looking for suggestions for other functions to add and testing for the existing functions. Free. GPL3 License.

Just an idea to improve background image handling (lemmy.one)
 

For the Slideshow option on Desktop Settings / Wallpaper, and the user is using the Random order and a new file appears in one of the wallpaper folders, make that image the next one to show.

Yet Another Distro Recommend request (lemmy.one)
 

I have a 'spare' Dell Latitude 7390 (Core i5 9gb ) on this machine. My production machine runs Debian with KDE.

What might be an interesting distro for me to try out on my spare machine?
