This is a rare skill? I thought this was more or less normal across all people. Damn, maybe I’m the naïve person here… 🤔

Your last statement really has me thinking right now, like does anyone else even understand empathy, love and care, even across disabilities and even species anymore?

Darn, for me, sign language is about impossible for my own mind to learn, I’m hard pressed to even remember to look people in the eyes…

Yeah I’m probably partly autistic as well, just in a different way.

Disclaimer: My short story here shouldn’t be considered meme material.

I am not certified in handling autistic children, but apparently I can understand what non-verbal autistic children are trying to communicate, even moreso than their own parents.

My friend’s daughter was non-verbal, and she would often do repetitive actions. Well one day, I rode my bicycle to visit my mechanic friend. Then, other friends showed up, with their non-verbal autistic daughter, probably around age 8.

Anyways, the young girl started repetitively running around in the yard, running up towards me, patting my bicycle seat, and then running towards the road. Now think, what’s that supposed to mean?

Well after the third round of her running towards the road, her parents were about to whoop her ass ☹️

I had to tell the young girl’s parents to basically fuck off, she wasn’t doing anything wrong at all. She just wanted to see me perform some bicycle tricks…

It was both a happy and sad moment of my life, to explain to the girl’s parents that she wasn’t misbehaving at all, she was simply trying to ask me to do some bike tricks.

Of course I did some bike tricks for her, after getting her parents to chill out. No reason to abuse a nonverbal, just try to understand them, and they’ll be the happiest person ever!

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

Yesterday

I looked up OP’s system, it supports 8GB RAM max.

So, by these sort of meme definitions, basically 90% of memes are diarrhea, sitting on the Drake meme, the Geordi LaForge meme, a Spongebob meme, the 5 year old girl standing in front of the burning house with the sinister look meme…

Fuck, by these strict standards on what a meme is supposed to be, well I guess basically all memes must be garbage to you folks. You must be really fun at parties…

Sad you can’t even get 3 seconds of a sad chuckle and just move on…

Practically all background meme images are some random garbage, well before the AI slop era. Meme images were generated by human slop Photoshop before AI was the big thing, so what really matters?

Not the background image, but the words posted on top of the image. And the words on OP’s meme are just as valid, even if you posted the same words on a Spongebob Squarepants meme image.

Practically every meme is based on a silly image from wherever. It’s the words that really count.

You can’t make a thread like this relevant to everyone, each operating system works differently.

Windows 10, you gotta cut out the bloatware and telemetry, and still probably install more RAM anyways.

Linux, you take advantage of fstab to arrange a tmpfs or ramfs filesystem for temporary files, internet cache, and even system log files if you really wanna cut down on unnecessary storage write cycles.

There’s no universal one size fits all answer here, it all depends on the operating system, especially these days…

Nope, phosphorous was the very first atomic element discovered, by boiling and refining human urine into a powder.

Not everything is AI slop, try doing some research on the origins of the periodic table of elements.

As much as people would like to give advice…

• Rule 5 - This is not a support community

With that said, it would help to know what OS you’re running or planning to run, and post your question under a relevant operating system community.

• The chicken is not green
• The horse is not eating chickens
• Why does Mart have to die?

The sad part is that children will never be able to see this meme…

I heard somewhere that zombies eat brains…

So, is Artificial Intelligence actually the zombies, coming after the children’s minds? 🤔

So, it’s been decades since I was a teenager, and AI chatbots weren’t even a thing. Hell, I didn’t even have the internet as a teenager, so maybe I’m totally out of the loop, but someone riddle me this?..

They’re age checking and gatekeeping social media, but not age checking and gatekeeping AI chatbots?

Do I have this about right, or am I missing something here?

It literally made my day to realize anyone out there is still interested in such things these days.

People like you keep my hope in humanity alive.

You’ve actually read this far?

Thank you for appreciating my words and the time it took to type them.

Edit: I am not Sam, this is just a treasure trove of information on how to troubleshoot and repair discreet electronics.

Sam Goldwasser is to me almost as important as Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman…

I long ago lost that monitor and related hardware over the sands of time, moving one place to another multiple times.

The benefit though was that I effectively quadrupled the number of pixels on screen from the common 1024x768 resolution of the time.

1024x2=2048, 768x2=1536

I was basically pioneering early extra high definition video output before it was even a thing.

The images themselves wouldn’t look any different, except smaller as each pixel was only 1/4 of original size, giving me a much larger visible pixel area for image editing.

It wouldn’t have helped gameplay much though, as I had to sacrifice framerate to accomplish that.

Edit: You definitely can’t do shit like that on modern LCDs, that category of overclocking is exclusive to old CRTs.

TL;DR - Much higher pixel resolution, at the cost of framerate.
