  • Your assumptions are poor. People sometimes ask because they are looking for advice from others. “What’s your take on this”, etc.

    Plus, them asking lets others know something is possible they hadnt even thought to search for.

    Nothing wrong with asking questions on sites centered around user discussions.

    Donwvote and don’t answer if you think they are asking in bad faith.









  • I also had screen tearing issues immediately on startup into the mint installer. Had to run the installer in safe mode to get mint going. Once mint was fully installed and rebooted to my desktop for the first time, had the same screen issues as I did with the installer not in safe mode. So mint only worked during install and only in safe mode.

    Maybe our issues are similar (I’m Nvidia 1080 card), but I was never able to fix mine.


  • About a month ago i asked gpt to draw ascii art of a butterfly. This was before the google poem story broke. The response was a simple

    But i was imagining ascii art in glorious bbs days of the 90s. So, i asked it to draw a more complex butterfly.

    The second attempt gpt drew the top half of a complex butterfly perfectly as i imagined. But as it was drawing the torso, it just kept drawing, and drawing. Like a minute straight it was drawing torso. The longest torso ever… with no end in sight.

    I felt a little funny letting it go on like that, so i pressed the stop button as it seemed irresponsible to just let it keep going.

    I wonder what information that butterfly might’ve ended on if i let it continue…
