the live disk won't find my Wifi
Oof.
I'm case it helps: I have solved that problem for myself using a $9.00 USB Wifi dongle.
For whatever reason (other contributors facing the same issue?), I have found that every cheapo USB Wifi dongle I have tried has worked perfectly with the minimal Linux images.
I realize I might have just gotten really lucky a bunch of times, but it could be worth a try.
Sweet.
Lol. Good point.
Dang. Not a scrap of awareness of the irony, in the article.
I'll bet substantial amounts of money that the claim of "advanced reasoning abilities" will be ruled to be outright fraud, if it ever goes to court.
It's the same claim made by traveling freak shows about horses that solve algebra problems, and the technology is essentially the same, under all the abstractions - learning models are great at repetition, and don't understand jack shit, today.
"We're confident that the AI we sell can take care of everything...except anything we actually want to see get done correctly (such as selling it)."
They are solvable problems, and many have already been solved already in some countries.
This is a great point!
Yeah. At least until his yes-men high five him and slap him on the back on his way to board the deep space or deep sea vessel that he designed himself.
But losing 75% of population, I can see some nuclear war breaking out
Seems pretty likely (eventually). I take hope that I'll be in the direct blast radius, and not a mutilated horribly scarred survivor.
I choose not to think about this one much because it's well outside my circle of influence.
The current trend sucks, obviously.
But historically, we used to be so much worse to each-other.
There's reasons (data and practicality) to have faith that things will continue to improve.
But it won't be enough, for many of us, in many of our lifetimes, so let's all stay angry and active.
Lol.
"But honey, I left you a README file..."
Yeah. And Jerboa is FOSS and on F-Droid.
The first thing I do to, if I need to get the size down, is swap out Gnome for one of the X11 Windows managers, usually XFCE.
I usually do this by starting from the minimal install and building up, as schizo already suggested.
That said, I guess I would be remiss if I didn't point out that Linux Mint is an easy way to get Debian's core with the XFCE window manager.
Looks like Mint starts at 3GB - 8GB, depending on options chosen?
Disclaimer: It's honestly been awhile since I really paid attention to my own Linux install size, as long as it's below 40GB.
