I believe so, yes. For the vast majority of people, it will be seamless, same as with Windows.

I had the same phone, and the only reason I replaced it was because the USB C port was finicky. It must have been damaged at some point and when plugged in, the cable had to be just right. Wireless charging works great, but I wanted the stability of being able to plug in and know it would discharge over night when I didn’t have a wireless charger. Otherwise, I had no issues with the battery, and I got the phone when it was pretty new to the market. I swapped it out just a few months back, and it’s going to be my test phone for grapheneOS and may end up being a communal remote.

Actually, it is. Anecdotally, I’ve never had an issue with my Nvidia card playing any games. Nvidia is certainly not as good as AMD, but it’s not as bad as the memes make it seem. In the past year they’ve worked more with Linux developers to provide better drivers. Not perfect, but it’s at least stable.

Installing the Nvidia drivers on Linux isn’t anymore difficult than it is on Windows.

If you haven’t used Linux within the last at couple of two years, then your experience is outdated and not relevant. There have been huge QoL improvements over that time.

You may have disabled copilot, but it installed and integrated into the Win 11 operating system. It takes 1 update to re-enable it without your consent. If there weren’t precedent, that wouldn’t really be a valid argument, but it wouldn’t be the first time it’s happened.

Linux Mint is easier to use out of the box than any version of Windows. It is 100% usable without typing a single terminal command. If you learn apt-get, it extends functionality and is basically 1 command, which again, is optional.

To install applications it’s as simple as opening Software Manager, selecting the app, and installing. The app store is better than whatever windows has installed by a country mile.

On a fresh install it has a full libre office suite, all of the basic apps like calculator, and many others. If you don’t want that, it can be prevented at installation.

It is inherently more secure, and updates won’t revert settings or install malware like Windows updates.

Major version updates will always support old hardware. There will never be a situation like Windows 11 not supporting older hardware.

The only thing the Windows has over Linux is proprietary apps for a lot of products. For the average and most above average users, that’s irrelevant. There are options for most fields but not all. For most people, life exists in a web browser, and that works better on Linux.

There is no way to install windows fresh, have all of those items disabled, and have all of the bloat uninstalled without creating a custom image.

Conservatives and religion. There’s also a strong overlap between the two.

I think that’s a very possible likely hood, but as with most things, there are other factors that could affect the dataset as well.

They did touch on the facial recognition aspect as well. My main thing is, does that make the model racist if the source data is diverse? I’d argue that it’s not, although racist decisions may have lead to a poor dataset.

My only real counter to this is who created the dataset and did the people that were creating the app have any power to affect that? To me, to say something is racist implies intent, where this situation could be that, but it could also be a case where it’s just not racially diverse, which doesn’t necessarily imply racism.

There’s a plethora of reasons that the dataset may be mostly fair skinned. To prattle off a couple that come to mind (all of this may be known, idk, these are ignorant possibilities on my side) perhaps more fair skinned people are susceptible so there’s more data, like you mentioned that dark skinned individuals may have less options to get medical help, or maybe the dataset came from a region with not many dark skinned patients. Again, all ignorant speculation on my part, but I would say that none of those options inherently make the model racist, just not a good model. Maybe racist actions led to a bad dataset, but if that’s out of the devs control, then I wouldn’t personally put that negative on the model.

Also, my interpretation of what racist means may differ, so there’s that too. Or it could have all been done intentionally in which case, yea racist 100%

Edit: I actually read the article. It sounds like they used public datasets that did have mostly Caucasian people. They also acknowledged that fair skinned people are significantly more likely to get melanoma, which does give some credence to the unbalanced dataset. It’s still not ideal, but I would also say that maybe nobody should put all of their eggs in an AI screening tool, especially for something like cancer.

Lol, I did butcher it. I only Lemmy from my phone, so I’m far more inclined to have typos. When I typed that I remember starting it and clicking on the suggestion to auto fill, but I must not clicked where I thought.

Ugh… Same. Legally, I couldn’t have agreed, but that didn’t matter. Not my proudest moment.

Watching colleagues commit genocide sounds an awful lot like being an accomplice to genocide.

If those people didn’t have hippcrasy hypocrisy, they’d have nothing… Well, they’d still have racism, bigotry, and a bunch of other shitty attributes I guess.

There a very few notably religious people that I associate with. I have a coworker that was a pastor for years and is still religious. He approaches it in the way I think it should be. We discuss religion as a theory, he doesn’t push or tell people what to believe. His belief is that God has his plans and that’s between him and each person. If every religious person lived like him, I’d have a lot less issue with it. I don’t agree with many of his other beliefs that are born from his religious background, but he’s not trying to impose them on anyone or prevent anyone from living their lives.

Other than him, and even still sometimes him, I agree with you. It’s like a scarlet letter that was put on volunteerily to say, “hey, I’m a dick and my beliefs are correct and apply to everyone.”

Celebrating America hasn’t been something to be proud of since before 2001. We had a couple of high points during Obama, but nothing that tipped the scales.

I’m personally disgusted by this place, and anytime I see someone with an American flag anywhere on their person or property, I immediately assume they’re a conservative and I think lesser of them. I know that this isn’t a reality, but that is what the American flag means to me, and I assume quite a few others.

It sounds like those doctors’s opinions may not be enough to overturn to conviction. I thought it also said that their assessment was pretty much over one specific area regarding where air was injected and it’s not encompassing all of the evidence presented in the case. Too me it sounds like a weak argument, but that’s based solely on this article with minimal background information.

I hope that bitch loses so bad. Slept her way to the top in the military and has as much credibility as a senator.

Queue the Curb Your Enthusiasm music.

You’d think that even with as delusional as they are, the establishment Democrats that are also taking shots at Mamdani would be able to see how much the Republicans are scared of him and the weapon he is. They’ll still fuck it up, but it couldn’t be more clear the path they should follow.

Day to day, I’d take a dry 100 degrees. My problem is a like to do cardio exercise outside, like run and bike. 100 degrees makes that significantly more difficult and dangerous. We’ve had upper 90s and high humidity the last couple of weeks and it’s been tough to do anything more than about 20 minutes at a time.

On the other hand, I love to snowboard, which can’t happen in triple digits. Snow and ice depending, biking and running are doable at single digit temps. I hate walking outside and feeling pain from the cold temps.

I’d probably take the triple digits and travel for cold vacations.
