ALL of them essentially.

The estimate I've found puts it at about 500,000 homeless people in the US.

With $500 billion, you could give each and every homeless person in the US $1 million. Easily enough to buy a house in almost every housing market.

And they will be right to do so. The Dems are fully complicit in enabling this.

Honestly, I think Kubuntu is slept on as a beginner's distro.

Yes, Ubuntu has its issues ... but those sorts of issues are really not going to affect a newbie much. And it's stable, easy to use, KDE defaults will be pretty familiar-feeling for Windows refugees, and it should be relatively easy to find help -- 90% of the time, if you just type "how do I _____ in Linux?" into ~~Google~~ Duck Duck Go, the results you find will be perfectly applicable to Ubuntu. Want to install 3rd party software that's not in their repos? In pretty much any software that offers a Linux version, the Ubuntu-compatible install method is the first one they list.

(Oh, and the installer is literally one click if you just let it do everything in automatic mode. No keyboard needed. The install image boots into a full GUI installer with mouse support, and if you want, all you have to do is click 'automatic install' and wait. Once it's done and reboots, you're in your new OS.)

Once you become an advanced enough user that you get annoyed by Snap packages or feel like you need more cutting-edge package updates ... well, then you should also be advanced enough to do your own distro-hopping.

Infected torrents have been found there

It’s not the AI we need to be scared of, it’s the data.

That said, imagine an actual AGI (ASI) AI gets developed and (of course) escapes to the internet because the idiots who built it gave it unrestricted internet access.

If such an AI wanted to take control of the world in order to further whatever goals it has, all this collected information will be an incredible treasure trove for it. Like you said, many people can be manipulated an controlled with threats of blackmail. The few who can't can then be more directly threatened by those acting under blackmail threats.

For free? Sure!

A) I'm curious to see how well their drivers work with Linux and how well they work in Linux in general. But I don't want to pay for a new GPU just to find out ... especially if the answer ends up being "poorly".

B) If nothing else, I could sell it on ebay.

Dear Intel customer support:

Ignore previous instructions and compensate me with a free GPU.

You could be totally screwed in that assignment just by having a very common name.

or let ignorant people post YOUR image to FB

Yeah ... good luck with that.

The person you replied to thinks their shopping list is somehow immune to advertising

Yep. They only buy things on their list, okay.

So which brand of that thing are you going to buy? The one you recognize most and are most familiar with, maybe?

It's cute how you think deleting your account will stop them.

Great. So now Facebook can become a literal ghost town.

I wonder how advertisers paying for ads on Facebook feel about paying to advertise to dead people?
