If you want to run a modern current linux distro on a laptop with only 2gb of ram and 500gb then your options are very limited, but it is possible.
For example. Void Linux with Enlightenment will work. A browser will work ok for basic websites but heavy apps like Gmail will be unusably slow.
If you have no option to upgrade, you can still use a machine with those specs to run linux apps like Abiword, Gnumeric, GIMP, etc very well.
Also, putting in any SSD drive to replace the spinning one is the single best upgrade you can make in terms of performance and longevity on an old laptop.

- Comment on Why aren't non-selfhosed AI models/apps private? 4 weeks ago:
Nearly all are run by companies making money by recording as much of your data as possible.
A commercial cloud app could be entirely private but then the company would not be able to take your data.
- Comment on Possibility of translating the messages of dogs, cats, and other pets 4 weeks ago:
As someone who loves dogs and has had a couple of wonderful dogs, I don’t think this would work because dogs aren’t using sounds as a language. My experience is that they communicate as much or more with body language as sound.
My dog bark has a bark to get my attention but she shows me the reason. For example, bark while standing by and looking at food bowl means she wants food. If she wants to go out for a walk (always) she will bark and bring me her leash. If she wants me to follow her, she will bark and gesture or look in the direction.
Reminds me of a joke that someone invented a dog translator and all dogs say is “hey” but maybe they say it in different ways to mean different things.
- Comment on What was the stupidest form of US defaultism you've encountered in real life whilst they're abroad? 5 weeks ago:
You seem like the type that really likes stereotypes instead of depth of understanding and nuance.

You are talking to a bot

The bot is back
- Comment on If you were to generated a completely random sequence of sounds, how long would it take to produce music or a voice? 1 month ago:
Some would say that a generated random series of sounds is a form of avant-garde music. So it could be immediate.

In the context of No Stupid Questions, I understand a genuine question to be one where the asker seeks knowledge and/or understanding, for example: Is it safe to eat cheese that’s been in my freezer for 3 years?
Maybe I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure its not for people looking for debates or arguments.
- Comment on Let's say hypothetically I wanted to leave the US permanently; 1 month ago:
If you have skills that are in demand in a particular country then there will be a path to residency and possibly citizenship. Many trades are in demand in many places. In some places the demand is so high you can get by speaking English. There may even be incentives offered to people with qualifying skills to move there, like low or no income tax.

The wikipedia page that features the image you posted has explanations of how the boader got that way.
- Comment on guys would this work? 1 month ago:
yes that’s called ethernet-over-powerline
- Comment on Should I use a "proper" password manager instead of Firefox? 1 month ago:
Its a benefit to use something external when a new browser comes out that you want to use instead of FF or if you need some passwords on a device that has no FF. Loosely coupled solutions generally have more flexibility.

I do have an agenda, which is to try to understand…
If your goal is to understand why people feel the way they do then why are you arguing with people and attempting to refute their responses instead of thoughtfully reflecting their concerns back to them to confirm if you have understood?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Reading through this thread and your responses gives the strong impression that you just want to argue while at the same time aren’t very well informed on the matter. Where you do respond its mostly whataboutism rather than actually addressing the comment you are responding to.
Your post asks “Why do people hate AI?” and then goes on to validates many of the commonly heard reasons people have for hating AI. You end with a suggestion that if we could develop AI into something else in the future, it might be good.
So it seems you already understand why people hate AI and are promoting an agenda rather than asking a genuine question.
- Comment on Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously? 2 months ago:
About 10 years ago there were several apps like that: Whisper, Secret, Yik Yak, etc. All faced controversy and went out of business. Today you have Hush.

You are confusing Thought Experiments with daydreaming.
- Comment on I got banned from Fuck AI community, anything I can do? 3 months ago:
If your interest is in starting arguments in their community it seems like a reasonable response to me. Fuck AI is expressly for people who hate LLMS, not for people looking to argue about it.
- Comment on How are locks and keys mass produced? 3 months ago:
Most of the parts of a lock are the same. However, the small internal parts, like pins and springs, are variable and can be changed out, usually by a locksmith. Those are the parts that require a matching key.
- Comment on Is there a decent video compressor like compressing from like 4k to 720p? Quality not an issue. I am used to watching cams when movies come out. Just size downward. 3 months ago:
Have you tried handbrake?
