You know it’s bad when AI slop is calling out your human slop.

Would be more useful than what it actually contains.

China is one of the oldest civilisations and has so much history and culture to offer. You can be born and raised in China and still not have seen it all.

Honestly if you’re at the point of suspecting that your Linux system is infected, just back everything up, wipe, and reinstall. Make sure to use a known good computer to make the install disk, and completely wipe the drive before install and not use existing partitions.

People have mentioned Wireshark which you can use to monitor for suspicious network activity, but IMO for most people this isn’t super helpful because it’s hard to tell what’s suspicious and what’s normal from Wireshark alone without quite a bit of networking/software knowledge. Maybe there’s more user friendly packet capture software though, something that can string the packets together into their respective connections and summarise key information like the protocol and domain involved.

QDirStat can visualize the contents of your drive as an interactive map. Might be helpful for finding files that aren’t supposed to be there.

ClamAV is an open source antivirus available for Linux but I don’t know how well it does at actually detecting Linux malware. Seems to be more for people running file/email servers to scan incoming file uploads.

Honestly if this was possible there are more egregious issues on their part than using AI.

“I see the problem!”

Neo implies the original version went out of fashion at some point.

I mean corporate names aren’t better meaning wise, they just have WAY more marketing behind them so they sound natural by virtue of being in your face until you capitulate.

What does 10^100 have to do with search engines? Also they spelled it wrong.

What does the biggest rainforest in the world have to do with shopping?

What do slight muscle spasms have to do with streaming?

What does a fruit have to do with shitty locked down phones and computers?

What does a colloquial superlative prefix have to do with taxis and food delivery?

What does the sound of a clock have to do with short videos? And before that it was a plant structure.

What does a reflective finish/coating have to do with web browsing?

One of the Wright brothers maybe? Still has nothing to do with image editing though.

Fedora gets no funding and all the karen behaviour in their issues channel I bet. Working with a giant corporation as an open source project sounds like actual hell.

Gonna assume it’s like the Mafia where you never truly “pay off” your debt even when the required amount of money is transferred.

Not surprising, the venn diagram of people who would buy a Framework (or even know it exists) and people who would choose an open source OS (or even know they exist) overlaps quite a bit I imagine.

Hey remember when they accuse Hamas of this? They’re a terrorist group by their own criteria.

Part of the problem is the “mysticism” technology has to people who don’t understand it. The tech companies have an advantage when you don’t understand how tech works and they’ll keep it that way.

If there’s one silver lining from this horrific situation it’s showing the world just how vulnerable petroleum infrastructure is. Not sure if the lesson will stick though, I suspect most people/companies/governments will get right back to putting all their eggs in the oil basket the instant this blows over.

Couldn’t even write a decent viral marketing ARG. Like if you’re going to go that route at least respect the art form.

After renewing it “one last time” though. Real junkie that will “go to rehab after I use one last time” energy.

Because it’s the only Canadian region with decent rail transit /s

Hate to tell you this, but there is definitely already an influx of Americans immigrating to Mexico. They needed that wall yesterday.

It’s a thought stopping strategy, define a negative term to exclude the things you want to defend or normalize. Similar to how they used to teach about “alcohol, tobacco, and drugs” in school like the former two aren’t drugs, almost certainly influenced by the alcohol and tobacco lobbies putting pressure on school curriculums.
