Why? To appease those with extreme environmentalist views.

Have you seen lately, that in order to win AI race, nobody [big tech especially] cares about climate anymore?

Why, yes! Yes, I have. And just wait until quantum superconductive block chain artifical general intelligence ushers in the Glorious Future!

Call it a "Distributed Intelligence Logic Denial Of Service" (DILDOS) attack both to name it distinctly and characterize the source.

Might as well call it "Artificial Intelligence Distributed Intelligence Logic Denial Of Service" (AIDILDOS) sounds about right.

Thank whoever for posting this.

Can recommend https://system76.com and Pop!_OS https://youtu.be/IOp7g7BNzRE?si=IKm6SLIdedgHr-u3 even if the name "Pop OS" isn't my favorite.

Can you also add why and for who you recommend it?

Pop!_OS is a solid desktop tailoring of Ubuntu for the hardware.

I would not recommend Pop for server situations, as the desktop trim might be unneeded.


I like it because it's based on Ubuntu, so there's almost always a working guide/solution targeting it. It also ships with Nvidia drivers which saves a lot of headaches for some users. To me the game-changer is the fact that it supports tiling window management with minimal configuration.

> Modern life, according to Moshfegh and many other writers of contemporary literary fiction, has no meaning whatsoever!

If the intent is to satirize meaninglessness, then perhaps the protagonist should have joined a satirical cult, like the one in the Illuminatus! Trilogy, proclaiming that Bugs Bunny is God, and Earth is shaped like a carrot.

A satirical look at null, it seems, should argue something non-null in the end.


Art doesn’t “argue,” it is something open to its own possibilities. Proscribing anything for art kills it.


Art does, too, offer arguments, more or less explicitly.
