The French foreign minister has said: "Contrary to what some media outlets, and social networks in particular, are saying, France is absolutely not being driven out of Africa, and we're not in decline at all."

DVI should not control the monitor's actual physical controls - it does include a small non-display channel but IIRC that's used to get the display modes info from the monitor, and potentially to transmit contrast information and the like; some monitors will prevent you from adjusting contrast if DVI sends that info for example, but it certainly shouldn't disable the power button.

My guess would be a hardware issue - in the monitor itself - which is somehow triggered by the sequence in which you do enable the displays, and your system update being unrelated. It's a huge guess though. One thing to try is repeating both sequences (the one that locks your buttons and the one that doesn't) using a live CD - not a "nobara 38" one if such a thing exists, another distro. Trying both monitors on another computer would be an interesting test as well, although not necessarily that helpful (because if it doesn't occur there, it might just mean the issue is triggered by peculiarities in your graphic card).

This shit's marketing hype, isn't it

It's both marketing hype and terminal singularity-brain from their techbro employees IMO.

Reminder we're talking about a company where the chief scientist regularly burns effigies and has the employees ritualistically chant "Feel the AGI ! Feel the AGI !" so, yeah.

LLMs do great if you don't consider them to be always right. Review the result same as if it was a random post

That was my point: IMO this makes them useless for almost the entirety of use cases.

LLMs can even assist with coding

I covered that as well.

And yes, llama for example runs on off-the-shelf consumer computers. Almost nobody except online geeks use LLMs like this - certainly not most corporations. They all send critical data to third parties online instead.

Image generation I can see a lot more use cases. LLMs, again, I can see a few paltry ones but nowhere near what the hype is currently pretending will be viable.

steal art [...] and now they steal it

Copying is not stealing.

for many uses they are already very good

Assuming you're talking about LLMs, which use cases, seriously ? outside of creative writing for games and the like (for which I could see them being useful) and spam generation, given what they produce is basically credible-sounding text with no guaranteed relation to the truth, which use cases ? even those developers assisting tools are pretty shit (not to mention leaking info on you and what you develop).

They're ugly and uncomfortable and it'd probably take decades to remove the association between them and bourgeois exploitation.

Post revolution it's djellabas for everyone.

"Saturday"

Chilling out, getting the sand out of their helmets, taking in the sun. You know, what one normally does in the middle of an active war zone full of tunnels where anyone could pop out anywhere.

Oooh that use of the big logs as support is a neat idea and makes it look awesome, will copy that, thanks !

Our own main building is nice but looks a bit cube-ish.

Also I like to do a huge stone chimney at the very middle, going through the roof.

Been on lemmy for three years and I've never really lacked for content though.

I don't fact check people who deny climate change anymore, I just laugh at them and embarrass them publicly
