Also applies to virtue signalers with fragile masculinity.

Edit: you know votes are public? Fragile ass

Arthur knew what he signed up for; and I had come to accept what I could see coming at that point… But his horse’s death hit me fucking hard.

I don’t know it’s proper name but “list” is an easy way to remember it. Want to see a list of what’s in a folder? ls. Want to see a list of USB devices? lsusb.

Oh yeah, you should find lots of tutorials on identifying unknown devices in mint. It probably is a yubikey like others have said; but it would be a good way to teach yourself a useful linux skill if you want to learn it.

What operating system did you put on it? Should be able to find it in your devices list. Or at least a device id to work backwards from.

What happened there? I must have wandered off before the drama happened.

the Gen Z stare

That’s just an effective tactic. I’m way older than gen z and figured out a long time ago that unless a reply is absolutely necessary, just staying quiet and staring will get a transactional conversation to it’s point and over much quicker.

Also, the burden of initiating conversation should be on the active caller side, not on the passice receiver

As an active caller, unless there is a ton of background noise, I may or may not get any indication that the person I’m calling has actually picked up. So I’m just going to sit there until they say something or hang up.

Stumbleupon was kind of like that. Along with being an early type of link aggregator, any website would have its own comment section that was only visible to other stumbleupon users.

I used to enjoy it, and it looks like it may still be alive in some form. But I’m not brave enough to see how shitty it’s become. I’ll keep my rose tinted glasses on.

Meanwhile 99% of the people I want to talk to are contacts in my phone or businesses with caller id.

And that’s why I don’t feel too bad moving on to the next. If I’m calling someone, they had to have called me at least once already. If they’re too lazy to save the number and want to play silly games, I have better uses of my time. I was just curious of the thought process.

It’s when they detect a voice that the auto dialer connects you with the scammer.

I just hang up as soon as I hear that little “bloop” sound and that cuts out 90% of them.

You purposely pick up and sit in silence? Not even a “Yo”, “Sup”, or “Aye”?

I wondered why people have been doing that when I call them at work. Sucks to be them, they’ve been waiting 2 weeks to 2 months for an appointment. I just hang up and move on to the next. If they didn’t want to talk they should have let it go to voicemail.

https://notebooklm.google.com/ is really handy for various things, you can throw a bunch of documents into it and then ask questions and chat interactively about their contents.

Nice, thanks! I’ve been looking for something I can stuff a bunch of technical manuals into and ask it to recite specifications or procedures. It even gave me the document and pages it got the information from so I could verify. That’s really all I ever wanted from “AI”.

Yeah, you were spot on. Appreciate you laying it out. I’m still ‘head-in-the-sand’ when it comes to learning how LLMs work.

Everything I had found up until that point stated matter of factly that it was E2EE. But I can understand now how that’s not really possible (or how calling it that is just semantics).

Straight down the sink. It’s a rental.

I’m sure it can. I found several tutorials on how to add it to Dolphin’s right click context menu, I just haven’t taken the time to do it.

Lower your standards and close down some bars.

For linux I use exiftool

They aren’t actively displacing people with a rightful claim to the land?

But both are identical in that they should be razed.
