For sci-fi, I can't recommend Linda Nagata enough. The Nanotech Succession and Inverted Frontier are a couple of my all time favorite series.

Like in pretty much all branches, the AI will eventually just be another tool. There still needs to be someone there to actually understand what the tool produces or it will result in catastrophees. You don't want to live in a building structurally designed by an AI without oversight nor fly in a plane programmed y an AI without oversight. Even for non-critical branches, there will be someone who directs the AI when it is e.g. composing the next shitty pop-song.
in reply to The Menemen

That's my view as well. There ultimately needs to be a human decision maker in the loop for any meaningful work to happen.

Why do you think they will regret allying with China for manufacturing and whatnot? China is THE global expert at this stuff.
in reply to Kami

Ok cool so are you gonna actually answer my question or just post stupid shit like this?
in reply to 🇵🇸antifa_ceo

I answered but you clearly have no idea what I'm talking about, so you didn't understand the answer.

EDIT: and LMFAO your nickname is "antifa"... Wake up dude!

You gave me the vaguest answer possible I am asking for more specificity. Can you offer it or do you really not know what you're talking about? Someone who knows what they are talking about but be able to come up with a much more substantive response don't you think?

Love when morons like you spew incomprehensible garbage and then laugh at others for not being stupid enough to understand what you're saying. Maybe I need to go huff some glue to get to your level and that will help.

in reply to 🇵🇸antifa_ceo

You have huffed enough glue considering your nickname and your comments.

Also thanks for insulting me, makes it even more clear you are just ignorant.

You asked what they would regret, I answered. If the answer is "incomprehensible garbage" for you, then you shiuld do your own research instead of being a lazy ass and expect to be enlightened by the comments of a random person, in a random post, of a random online community.

I mean, that's what you have probably been doing until now from what I can see, but everyone can get better with a little effort.

Good luck! 😉

in reply to Kami

Damn dude you got me with more evidence you have zero fucking idea what you're talking about lmao

As if the US is a better trade partner, like let's be real
in reply to Kami

No I agree that depending on china isn't ideal, but at some point you can't go it alone.
in reply to Blisterexe

It's way worse than not ideal depending on a fascist dictatorship.
in reply to Kami

Yeah, depending on the US is way worse than not ideal, you're right
in reply to Kami

Imagine trying to argue that the US is "a random thing" when talking about European trade relation

German firms


As in the German bourgeoisie.

Make no mistake, German "firms" are not and never will be China's "friends." They're not even Germany's friends. This is just a further extension of the West's outsourcing of labour to China, a decidedly one sided relationship where any benefit to China is a happy accident at best and a terrible side effect at worst in the eyes of German businesspeople.

"You are in emergency mode. (...) Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked."


My disk is encrypted with LUKS and I wanted to make it auto-unlock using TPM.

I can't enter UEFI as I have fastboot enabled.

Could anyone help me please? 🫡

in reply to mypasswordis1234

I had this issue and it was because I told grub to support dual booting from two different disk drives (one of them USB) and then I removed the USB drive. Linux-boi still tried to enforce booting from the now not-connected drive.

I can't remember exactly what I did, but there may be something about a systemd unit which can be removed/disabled - or maybe I did some fishing around in fstab to remove the drive it thought should exist but wouldn't always (and then probably did an update-initramfs -u or similar.

in reply to mypasswordis1234

Perhaps an issue with the TPM, try disabling it to see whether it boots up.


cannot get nut to load on reboot


I set up NUT on my server to monitor the status of 2 UPS's connected via USB, an eaton and a cyberpower. Nut fires up fine when I tell systemd to run all the pieces, but when I reboot, they are active but dead. they dont wake up and work until I manually load them again.

Theres no error anywhere. it just wont load itself on boot. why?

in reply to muusemuuse

1) You need to enable debug logging for NUT
2) Run systemctl --failed and see if you get anything there
3) Make sure you run the journal back all the way through boot and see if anything during boot time is obvious
4) Post your systems units here

in reply to muusemuuse

Its common, it's called the refractory period. Younger men can sometimes go a couple minutes after a "reboot" but as you get older it takes longer and longer.

ETA: maybe I should read past the topic...

Yeah, I knew this whole OnlyOffice was a grift from the start. Closed-source trash with a layer of nice paint pretending to be part of the open source movement.

The standard of living in the EU has dropped to a 40-year low compared to the US, among the reasons - the war in Ukraine and sanctions against Russia.

Can we just power cycle the US? Or just power it down and recycle for parts?
