I've been reading some Effective Altruist writings and learned that even if AI had moral goals it could be very dangerous .

Like imagine an AI whos goal was to maximize the number of mosquito nets given to Africa, sounds great right?

NO! Because the AI would be willing to do anything in order to achieve it's goals it might do something like commit one of the largest acts of fraud in history to get the money for more mosquito nets!

Hmm... what does this remind me of?

I like Debian a lot since it looks cool but i found it really shit when running web servers because of dependency shit, at least with Vichan. I actually like systemd / systemctl shit to start stuff. Ubuntu I like enough but I can't ever not think of it as jewbuntu. For webserver shit is using debian all good if I run stuff in docker and use some modified specific shit? IDK I'm a tard and haven't used docker on anything but my local system since i like fricking up my incognet vps's.

For desktop I unironically like Manjaro

Any tips on getting a job right now?

Could you hire me?

• For large screens, centres text so it's not way over on the left (some subs have custom html styles, hence the two sections)
• Expands images automatically
• Hides the image hiphopcirclejerk stuck over their sub (thx j cole drama)

• A level 10 OS command injection vulnerability was found in GlobalProtect

Trump Media shares close down more than 14%, company says Truth Social to launch TV streaming

Earlier Tuesday, Trump Media in a press release said it “has finished the research and development phase of its new live TV streaming platform and will begin scaling up its own content delivery network.”

The company said it will roll out streaming content in three phases, the first of which will introduce Truth Social's content delivery network for streaming live TV to the app for Android, iOS and web.

Phase two will release stand-alone Truth Social streaming apps for phones, tablets and other devices, while phase three will release such apps for home television, Trump Media said.

“The streaming content is expected to focus on live TV including news networks, religious channels, family-friendly content including films and documentaries; and other content that has been cancelled, is at risk of cancellation, or is being suppressed on other platforms and services,” Trump Media said in its release.

I'm sure the company that took 2 years to spin up a Mastodon fork fully will definitely be able to smoothly run a streaming service

Alright so I have a cheap laptop that I loaded debian / plasma onto.

Keyboard cover is wonky and sometimes when I hold left or right arrow it self-inserts a '4', which is fixed with turning off the num pad.

So any time I switch to another window, any time I try to upload something and the popup comes up for me to select a file, the left or up arrow is automatically pressed. Right now it's doing it with the up arrow.

You'd think "you just said your keyboard is messed up why is this shocking" well to that I say here's the weird part.

It doesn't happen randomly, it happens specifically when I change to another window, or a window is popped up like when saving or uploading a file. As soon as I press any arrow key it stops.

For example I'm on my browser now.. if I click to groomercord it will try to edit my last message (up arrow is held), and will keep scrolling up unless I press a random arrow key. When I click back to the browser where I'm writing this post, it begins to scroll up (up arrow held) and again I have to press a random arrow key to stop it.

WTF is going on? Why is me clicking another window triggering an arrow key?!!?! It won't ever happen randomly either. It will never do it again until the window is changed.

To add a weird cherry on top, if I click my terminal (Konsole) it won't scroll up my command history. It won't trigger this weird shit, but as soon as I click to another window it'll trigger the up arrow. First half of today was the left arrow, abot an hr ago it started doing the up arrow.

Pls help solve.

Kind of an neurodivergent rant so feel free to ignore, but I really hate the cute twinks on /g/ and here on rdrama that plaster the language of God onto their jap paraphilia.

Exhibit A (see the attached picture). An anime girl holding the Ritchie Kernigan C book. This is a beginner-tier book that describes how if statements and for loops work. At the time, it was ground-breaking because programming was so much more primitive. Nowadays, it's completely unimpressive. Not only is it very basic, but it is flat out wrong in some places, since most people use C99 or C11, not Ansi C nowadays.

So what would be a good C book to photoshop onto all our favorite cartoons for undersocialized men? There isn't one. Even something "official" like the ISO C99 or C11 standard diverges from reality significantly. Books like "modern C" are written by hucksters who write C at the level of an undergraduate who just finished their first C programming course. The way to tell if someone is a serious C programmer or not is if they use libc stuff like malloc or not. If they do, it means they don't really care about the underlying hardware and operating system primitives. Ironically, the x86_64 reference manual Volume 1 is probably a better source for learning how to write good C code than any C book that currently exists.

I usually don't game on this laptop, and even when I do, it seems like the games I am interested in are available on there. The only thing I can think of is that I have multiple tabs open in my browser that I plan to one day read. I would lose them if I did it.

I didn't read this. They're Romanian btw.

I use Bluebubbles to sync my texts between all my Android devices and my iPhone. Uses my Mac server as a imessage forwarding relay. I have 6 phone numbers and keep the main number in the iPhone, call forward to my primary Galaxy Fold 5.

My main girlfriend turns 21 Tuesday. I'm taking leave from work for it, but sleeping in before taking her out. She sent me a text for my birthday at like 1am saying she wanted to be the first to tell me happy birthday.

I go to bed early, not staying up to send a text. Just scheduled that shit to send from my server. Automating thoughtful gestures, lmao.
