And as in the previous experiment, it also had some self-awareness.

I would be interested. So far I can't say that I have ever been helped on social media or dedicated forums when it comes to Linux. It went mostly like this:

Me: "I have problem X. How can I solve it or at least get closer to a solution?"

Answer: "Lol, you idiot, you don't even know how to do that!"

Me: "No, I don't know. That's why I'm asking. So what do I have to do? Edit a certain script? Get a certain program?"

Answer: "Grow a brain you noob!"

(Rinse and repeat)

Alternative answer, rarely: (Crickets)

I came to two conclusions because of this. First: The Linux community has the highest density of trolls of all communities. By far. Second: None of those people actually knew the answer to any of my questions, otherwise narcissism would have kicked in at least once and made someone slip a solution, just to brag with their knowledge and skills. Which means that the Linux community is also the least tech-savvy community as well. By far. So if someone actually knows something about Linux, they can't be found in any Linux-dedicated place. At all.

Everything I learned about Linux to this day is based on trial-and-error. But I don't have the time anymore to do that and it's in general too time-consuming to reinstall distros over and over again because I went too far when trying something new. Currently I'm using Mint to browse the internet or do office tasks. But I would like to do more, like running certain Windows programs like DAWs with low latency. Or raising the polling rate of USB mice above 10 Hz (as in ten - that's not a typo). Fortunately, copying or moving more than 1 GB to or from USB sticks without crashing the entire machine (no matter if NTFS or ExFAT) was solved last year, probably because of a kernel update. Well, it's a work-in-progress-project, I know that Linux is more of a beta version of an OS and it's free, I'm not complaining about such issues. I'm experimenting, having a look what can be done.

I'm okay with things actually not being possible. I would never complain about ReactOS not running modern Windows programs either. But I'm tired of Linux trolls claiming all kinds of stuff without ever providing any description, tutorial or evidence. And I'm tired of them insulting me because I don't know something they obviously don't know either. It's ridiculous. So yeah, I'm still interested in talking to a single person who might actually know something and who is not part of "that Linux community".

I have been out of the loop for a while so please excuse my question: Is it really necessary nowadays to let NVIDIA software connect to the internet to enter/change the graphic card settings? Years ago they only had this bullshit tool for looking up pre-made settings and an update agent, but all you had to do was to not install both when running the driver setup. I can't even remember the name of them, deselecting this crap became like muscle memory. Did NVIDIA really change that in the meantime?

And you still ignore what I wrote. Because you can't process how wrong you and your AI are.

[-] zeropointone@lemmy.world -2 points 2 days ago

Additive colors -> active light emitter. Which should be obvious. But yeah, you simply lack the ability to think beyond what AI tells you. You understand nothing. You're nothing mote than a stochastic parrot yourself. Enjoy your daily rock.

All LLMs still claim that green is the complementary color to red...

[-] zeropointone@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

As if a stochastic parrot could ever be able to count or calculate...

LLM work really well. You get something out of it that resembles human language. This is what it has been designed for and nothing else. Stop trying to make a screwdriver shoot laser beams, it's not going to happen.

It depends on your prefered type of humor. Do you like gallows humor?

[-] zeropointone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Roughly 90 % if I have access to plenty of data. According to others it's less than 10 %.

[-] zeropointone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

According to myself? According to others? Or the average of both?
