Yeah, that’s always an option. If you want to. On paper I like the idea for security reasons, but I dislike that a single company can basically control, what is able to be installed/executed and what is not allowed.

That’s basically my commit history for every repo where I need the pipeline to run to see if everything works.

The most current NVidia driver generation needs special setup for secure boot. But IIRC it doesn’t support the non RTX cards anymore. And sadly I can’t remember how to set up the older generations.

For the newest you need a setup that compiles and signs the Kernel module of the driver and you also need to manually import the (generated) key into your UEFI to allow secure boot to succeed. The former is usually mostly automated by your distribution, but the latter need to be done by you manually.

But it’s true!

10 was the last one you needed. 11 and onwards is neither needed nor wanted. Also people are starting to realize the power of Linux (+Wine/Proton)

Yeah, unless any of those two start hallucinating

I wonder what you’d get of you’d tell Gemini to pull/lay “random tarot cards” and then have ChatGPT explain their meaning

Pluralistic: Goodhart’s Law vs “prediction markets”

Chill bro! It was all a pr… stunt!

I mean, I get the idea of patents. If there were no protection of “ideas”, some random person could have one, try to bring it to market but could just be outplayed by a big corporation with enough money to copy this idea and sell it everywhere before he can even start production. They have more resources and money, but might not have had that idea. There should be some protection. Problem is, that these are also abused by the big corporations, so… Maybe we need to fix this somehow.

Stolen? That’s a harsh term. We prefer “backed up to our cloud for your security”!

Townsfolk: “No one dares to go even near these woods. Even $WellKnownHighlevelLegendaryHero found his end there!”

Tavern: “Keep away from the woods to the east!”

City guards (obviously more experienced and way higher level than the group): “We’ve lost so many troops around there, no one goes there in that wishes to live on.”

“Everyday there are funerals on the towns cemetery - concerning part is, that that only happens on the northern cemetery, where people from the eastern fields near the woods are buried.”

“The east gate of the town is closed. Only the grave diggers may use it to deliver new corpses of adventurous groups and heroes like you”

“You look weaker than the other bunch who dare to come here. Are you suicidal or …?”

“You have the feeling that something’s a bit unusual here. Everyone is armed, even the children.”

“You begin to notice the fine gear and the muscular shape of the bloody, dismembered dead bodies constantly arriving at the east gate.”

“On your way east toward the forest you pass many warning signs, each one getting drastically more graphic that the ones before…”

“You arrive at the edge of the wood, eager to enter. Your game master breaks the fourth wall and directly asks you bluntly ‘Are you sure you want to do that?’ and hands you some dice…”
