Are there actually people complaining that she’s ugly…? She literally looks like a model, just with some scars.

My love is in league with the freeway…

Thanks.

What was the name of that good boi Captain from Bleach?

This applies to pretty much all “Linux good, Win/MacOS bad” memes. I just assume that people either aren’t really serious about them and it’s just tongue in cheek, or they don’t have any contact with regular people.

I used to work as a(n assistant to the) sysadmin and the things I got called over never stopped to amaze. For instance, there was a case when software was updated on the work machines and I got called because some lady couldn’t use Adobe Acrobat. “It is asking me something, I don’t know what”. I come over and it’s just a TOS Accept/Decline window.

Some people do not understand computers to an extent that they can lock up in a state of confusion when a button has been moved 100px in any direction from its usual position.

Fair enough.

My parents didn’t tell me :'(

But RAID is backup if it’s backup…

I think the way you worded it doesn’t make it obvious that you’re criticizing the graph specifically and not the os, hence your downvotes. But yes, that graph is absolute mess.

Yeah, and Linux is green all the way through, even though according to the depicted MacOS scale it should only be hitting bright yellow levels at the peak.

Technically, MacOS doesn’t cost money to use and has no ads.

They meant to say “Control or* Backspace is Space”, right? Right?!

Technically, it’s not about the display technology, but instead about the signal/tuner. More specifically if it’s analog or digital. Some modern TVs still have analog or hybrid tuners for backwards compatibility and regions that still use analog, so they can display static. For instance, in Ukraine we finished the switch to digital TV only a couple of years ago. If your TV had no digital tuner (as was the case for many) you had to buy a DAC box. Retirees/pensioners got them for free, sponsored by the government.

I’ll have you know, that I have it on good authority (from the ever rational and totally not an echo chamber Hexbear) that the invasion is actually very successful and Russia is winning. By a lot!

No idea, that’s what I’ve been told, but Japanese engineers usually know what they are doing.

Afaik, the problem with buried cables is that in case of a flood or tsunami they might break, get exposed and electrocute someone.

If that was the intent, why did they fail the previous 4 years?
Did they undye her hair right before the picture, too?

I came because Reddit’s a shitty company and due to the ban of 3rd party apps. Which group am I?

Am I the only one who doesn’t see a less buff John Cena in that photo?

I’m not redefining anything, I’m just pointing out that intelligence is not as narrow as most people assume, it’s a broad term that encompasses various gradations. It doesn’t need to be complex or human-like to qualify as intelligence.

A single if statement arguably isn’t intelligence, sure, but how many if statements is? Because at some point you can write a complex enough sequence of if statements that will exhibit intelligence. As I was saying in my other comments, where do we draw this line in the sand? If we use the definition from the link, which is:

The highest faculty of the mind, capacity for comprehending general truths.

Then 99% of animal species would not qualify as intelligent.

You may rightfully argue that term AI is too broad and that we could narrow it down to mean specifically “human-like” AI, but the truth is, that at this point, in computer science AI already refers to a wide range of systems, from basic decision-making algorithms to complex models like GPTs or neural networks.

My whole point is less about redefining intelligence and more about recognizing its spectrum, both in nature and in machines. But I don’t expect for everybody to agree, even the expert in the fields don’t.
