Linux@lemmy.ml•Does anyone know how to make the Arch text bigger?
2·11 days agoMore likely than not you’re confusing modifier keys.
On the Mac, the zoom is [Command] + [+].
In Linux it’s [Control] + [+]
This is pretty much true across the board. It’s sometimes non-obvious because wrappers like UTM try to “help”.
The alternative is to ssh into the VM and continue to use the MacOS shortcuts you’re used to.

I’m clearly starving, why haven’t you fed me yet?

Kali ≠ Debian
I did not see an
apt-get updateIn my experience, unmet dependencies are unlikely to happen on a stable version where you only installed from the official repo.
The LZMA decompression errors point at a much more fundamental issue. I’m suspecting that the repository URLs point at non standard locations or downloads were interrupted, though I’m not sure exactly how, since AFAIK, apt checks the checksum.
If you must have something that’s not In your distro, do yourself a favour and install Docker and run your package inside there, much less chance of killing your system.

- AI is Assumed Intelligence.
- AI is autocorrect on steroids.

155·20 days agoWhat you’re describing is a general experience with LLM, not limited to the C-level.
If an LLM sprouts rubbish you detect it because you have external knowledge, in other words, you’re the subject matter expert.
What makes you think that those same errors are not happening at the same rate outside your direct personal sphere of knowledge?
Now consider what this means for the people around you, including the C-level.
Repeat after me, AI is Assumed Intelligence and should not be considered anything more than autocorrect on steroids.
You only just figured this out? It’s always been about reducing wages … or said differently, how to get richer than the other members at your country club.

352·1 month agoForgive me, but in my opinion, the headline is misleading … at which point in time have any lawmakers anywhere Known What They’re Doing?
So far all I’ve ever seen in the 49 years I’ve been allowed to vote, is short term politically expedient decision making, aimed at getting re-elected (or paid), rather than science based decision making processes aimed at improving society as a whole.
