Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Literally a setting in power management on every PC. Learn to use a god damn computer.

Yes, go to the power options, then advanced or custom ( cant remember what it said) and there should be a setting for what to do when the lid closes

one of my computers even had that built into its high performance/power guzzler or gaming or i forget profiles. it's been over 2 decades since my last laptop.

You can't be serious...

This has been a thing since I had the old Lenovo ThinkPad with the clit mouse.

Haha i forget about clit mouses

[–] MyVeryRealName@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wonder if anyone actually used the clit mouse

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I did all the time. It's the only thing I used at the time.

I could play StarCraft with it.

on KDE Plasma on Linux (and BSDs), the Power Management widget or taskbar item has a toggle to Manually Block Sleep and Screen Locking, which prevents time-based and lid-based sleep and locking. in the settings app at System > Power Management you can set what to do when the lid is closed, with separate profiles for when plugged in, on battery, or on low battery. kde is very customizable and fully featured, would recommend

I usually set it so that if it’s plugged in it remains on until I say goto sleep
