Except the one Marques has can go 15mph, or about 24kph, almost twice that of the one in the article.

There’s always Bazzite’s vanilla KDE cousin, Aurora: https://getaurora.dev/ It is essentially the Fedora KDE spin with way better hardware support and QoL features.

But Bazzite isn’t really a distro in it’s own right anyway, it’s an unofficial Fedora spin that gets updates pretty much immediately (<24hrs) from upstream. It kind of “solves” a lot of the issues with most gaming distros.

I’d highly recommend both to new users as well, as they are immutable (like the Fedora Atomic Desktops) and make it a lot harder to completely mess up your install while you’re still learning.

You invoked the comparison by using the phrase “today’s parents are too IT ignorant”. If anything, they know more about tech than ever before.

Edit: In response to the rest. Parents just don’t want to have uncomfortable conversations with their kids, they never have. Because, no, it isn’t actually easy to block all pornographic websites reliably.

Yes. What is your point? I was commenting on the fact you thought this was a current parents problem when it’s been a problem for over 20 years now.

I don’t know what you lived through, but there was wider internet access in the late 90s and early 00s that caused widespread panic amongst the boomers when I was a kid (born early 90s). I grew up in the era of the first social networks, MySpace being the biggest early one I remember. What surprises me more is that so many millennials have grown up to be just like their parents in that regard.

Todays parents? No. The Boomer/Gen X parents of Millennials were also incredibly IT ignorant.

That’s all really fair. But I also just assumed he was parroting what the mother had called it, and that she was just blissfully unaware that she’d mixed the memes.

Do you subscribe to !vexillology@lemmy.world at all? It’s decently big, but you’re right about missing the one from the other side.

And the bot, as an extension of it’s corporate overlords wishes, is telling a mistruth. It is lying because it was made to lie. I am specifically saying that it lacks intent and agency, it is nothing but a slave to it’s masters. That is what concerns me.

My car doesn’t talk like a human. If you want to be technical, then it’s proxying lies it was taught too.

Yeah, I tried to use similar phrasing to you in case it jailbroke it at all. Creepy af

For anyone else that was curious. This makes me feel sick. People are already treating AI as some unbiased font of all knowledge, training it to lie to people is surely not going to cause any issues at all (stares at HAL 9000).

Yes. I completely agree that there should be. However the other poster’s claim that it makes Apple just as bad as Microsoft turning a syncing feature on without user consent is ludicrous imo. That just feels like giving them a free pass on what is, I believe, an as before unseen escalation in the erosion of user privacy by large corporations.

How do you imagine that geoblocking content works if IP addresses don’t expose where you live?

And better get off the internet right now if your concern is exposing your ip cause it was never secret to begin with.

qaz could be using any of dozens of different methods to obfuscate their IP from the wider internet to write their comment, Tor or a VPN to name just a couple.

Wait, I assumed the mum, blissfully unaware of her own ignorance, taught him loss but called it a rick-roll?

I don’t think you need to be chronically online in Australia to know about it either, and we don’t watch the parade. We do share a language, and more importantly, most popular music with y’all though.

It’s been there for years, I think at least since before 11 was released…

Wow. I genuinely can’t believe people are upvoting you for this. Like yeah, I super agree it’s a dark pattern. Stealing people’s data is WAY worse though, uploading potentially sensitive photos or documents to their cloud with no user input. But according to you that’s fine because it’s less obtrusive and annoying? Yeesh I’m glad I don’t have your priorities.

Edit: Like, have you seen most people’s home screens? They’ll have a dozen other “red dots” and it becomes part of the background. In the same way as you talk about with Windows errors. Here’s mine:

Oh noooo, a red dot on the Settings app…with all the other red dots…

Oh no, an annoying red dot. Microsoft are straight up hoovering up users data into the cloud by automatically enabling syncing. These two things are not even close to the same.
