No, but an SSD really does make the computer a lot faster, no matter the OS.
- Comment on If AI is so smart, how come it doesn't track the time and date? 1 week ago:
It wouldn’t be any different if you did the same with a human brain (with the memory capacity of ChatGPT):
“Human, read and memorize this giant pile of written text, which is a mix of things on the Internet, almost every book ever written, and such things.”
“OK, have done that.”
“Now, based on what you’ve read, tell me: Who is Barack Obama?”
“Barack Obama is a man born in 1961 who was the US president from 2009 to 2017. [… other facts about Obama that were somewhere in the training data]”
“OK, and who was Konrad Adenauer?”
“Konrad Adenauer was the first federal Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany. [… other facts about Adenauer that were somewhere in the training data]”
“OK, what’s the current date and time?”
“No idea. How am I supposed to know THAT?”
- Comment on So, has age verification really become the new normal? 1 week ago:
Hasn’t yet.
Is becoming, yes. There are still plenty of opportunities to stop it provided that the democratic process remains somewhat functional and governments have not gone into “we are the rulers, we decide whatever we want, screw the will of the people” mode yet.
I don’t have the answer on how far on the path toward that aforementioned mode we are. :(

Have you ever played a Pokémon battle frontier/tower?
- Comment on Gonna be straight forward, how is Donald Trump not considered a Global/Donestic Terrorist? 2 weeks ago:
The problem with that is that he hasn’t been convicted of any of the things mentioned there. People are innocent until proven guilty, so it can’t be the case that someone can be deemed to have done these things if they haven’t been convicted.
- Comment on Gonna be straight forward, how is Donald Trump not considered a Global/Donestic Terrorist? 2 weeks ago:
Oddly enough, treason is actually the only crime defined in the US constitution.
https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-3/section-3/
Unclear that Trump has done those exact things.
In any case, the executive branch isn’t going to prosecute its own head. The next president might, but then again it’s a real possibility that Trump might not live long enough for that…
- Comment on Which instance on Lemmy does not apply censorship? 2 weeks ago:
Define “censorship” as well as “obvious like following the law” (the law of which jurisdiction?). People have different ideas of what they want to see, and laws across the world are different in what they do and don’t allow. So the question is unanswerable as asked.
Here are two articles that may help you understand the problems with your question:
- Comment on How do I type an apostrophe and use print screen on a European Spanish keyboard? 2 weeks ago:
Not familiar with that layout, but just looking at it I see there is a ' printed on the question mark key, to the right of zero. So try pressing that key in combination with shift, or if that doesn’t work, AltGr.
Print screen, I suspect you’ll have to look up in that specific keyboard’s manual. On a full size keyboard that doesn’t need an Fn key it would certainly be where it is in all other languages. I suspect it is hidden behind a combination with the Fn key but since it isn’t printed on there, I can’t tell for sure.

- Comment on Why do you post here or other social media? 2 weeks ago:
I have been doing so for more than two thirds of my life (back then it was independent web forums). Hardly know a world in which that isn’t part of my habits.
I do it because it is fun, kills my boredom, gives me meaning in life and often provides intellectual challenge. It also helps others and generally contributes to society by making more information available.
- Comment on How do you pronounce 'Niche'? 2 weeks ago:
Everyone who has played through GTA 5 has heard the pronunciation “nitch” here: https://youtu.be/FlzZhGr8G9w?t=79
I (nonnative speaker of English) used to think it was pronounced neesh because my first language’s cognate (Nische) is pronounced similar to that. But since hearing that scene I know that’s not universally the case.
- Comment on I am not a high drug user. I mean I smoke and drink that's it. But it seems to me that the US president is using uppers midday and keeping him up at night and crashing half thru the day? 2 weeks ago:
Statements don’t actually become questions, stupid or otherwise, by arbitrarily ending them with a question mark, you know.
- Comment on How come when I delete a post or something it shows a tiny red trash can next to it? But it's still there. How come I can still see it weeks and months later with the little trash can next to it? 2 weeks ago:
Because that’s how the software works. It’s deleted for other people, but not from the database, so that you yourself can still see it in case you need it later.
