You again???! 😡😤👊🖕🖕🖕
sorry to break this to you, but zoomers are all adults now
Nearly positive that the youngest are still minors, but most of them are adults for sure.
Makes sense, because with the nvidia graphics card you could generate AI porn.
a pen can generate porn
You can do that with a CPU, it’s just slower.
Intel! You know what to do!
The internet’s inability to fact check anything before re-sharing it? Yes, I agree.
gen z is pushing 30 btw
This happens all the time. I still see what I call boomers (likely younger than actual boomers) call gen z millennials constantly. The oldest millennials are like mid 40s but in the popular imagination we are still kids in our 20s. It’s like society is 10-15 years behind almost
feels so grimm
Is this a joke?
Do you see anyone laughing? Well? Do you?? 🧐
🥺
I’m laughing constantly because I’m losing my mind! Haha!
Tried to use gpt5 via the api the other day and they wanted me to scan my passport. 🫠
It’s in the name… can’t access graphic content without ID, can we? /s
On a more serious note, what about AMD graphics cards?
Boomers will also get locked out of a lot of content because verifying their age is too complicated. I feel no sympathy.
This is why you Linux, point blank.
Nvidia is still closed source, even on Linux…
Use the nouveau drivers of course
They did release Open Kernel drivers, which I hadn’t tested. Those are the “open-source” drivers. Sure, their firmware could be proprietary (though I didn’t see any issues with it).
On Linux you have no official GUI companion app for your graphics card from NVIDIA AFAIK.On X11 you do (I think some distros ship it). Otherwise, that’s not necessarily the case on Wayland.
You are right. I forgot, that there actually is a GUI panel for NVIDIA. It’s pretty simplistic, but still that makes my previous claim false.
Does the Linux build of GeForce experience not do this, because if it does then it’s still a problem
We don’t have geforce experience on Linux (afaik). Ubuntu has a built in “proprietary drivers” app that just pulls the Nvidia drivers for you on first boot after install. Very low effort (on the happy path at least. If you use unsupported/brand new cards, you’re probably going to have a much less fun time)
Relevant:
As one of the first Baby Boomers, it’s somewhat surrealistic for me to proof that I’m old enough to access an fucking web page.
As a millennial, it, too, is insane.
Which begs the question: who thinks this is a needed thing and a good idea? Who is pushing this agenda?
somebody in another post a few days ago suggested that this was about gaining control of the media narrative by gradually locking down parts of the internet. The idea being that today it’s adult content but tomorrow its about disagreeable narratives on YouTube, TikTok, and other secondary sources of Information.
-I’d think it were a stretch of the imagination but it was shown that the motives for trying to ban TikTok (in the U.S.) were the narratives shared on the platform about Israel’s ongoing genocide.
It’s about surveillance and control. Censor what people can see, require ID so you can monitor who’s viewing what, and let people know you see what they’re doing so that they become wary of using the internet for political organization. Pedophiles and terrorists are just convenient bogeymen to scare people into assenting to this.
Why is it called “Lost Generation”?
Going into WWI was a bad time to be coming of age.
Personally, I don’t know.
From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Generation :
The Lost Generation was the demographic cohort that reached early adulthood during World War I, and preceded the Greatest Generation. The social generation is generally defined as people born from 1883 to 1900, coming of age in either the 1900s or the 1910s, and were the first generation to mature in the 20th century. The term is also particularly used to refer to a group of American expatriate writers living in Paris during the 1920s.[1][2][3] Gertrude Stein is credited with coining the term, and it was subsequently popularized by Ernest Hemingway, who used it in the epigraph for his 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises: “You are all a lost generation.”[4][5] “Lost” in this context refers to the “disoriented, wandering, directionless” spirit of many of the war’s survivors in the early interwar period.[6]
In the wake of the Industrial Revolution, Western members of the Lost Generation grew up in societies that were more literate, consumerist, and media-saturated than ever before, but which also tended to maintain strictly conservative social values. Young men of the cohort were mobilized on a mass scale for World War I, a conflict that was often seen as the defining moment of their age group’s lifespan. Young women also contributed to and were affected by the war, and in its aftermath gained greater freedoms politically and in other areas of life. The Lost Generation was also heavily vulnerable to the Spanish flu pandemic and became the driving force behind many cultural changes, particularly in major cities during what became known as the Roaring Twenties.
Later in their midlife, they experienced the economic effects of the Great Depression and often saw their own sons leave for the battlefields of World War II. In the developed world, they tended to reach retirement and average life expectancy during the decades after the conflict, but some significantly outlived the norm. The Lost Generation became completely ancestral when the last surviving person who was known to have been born in the Lost Generation or during the 19th century, Nabi Tajima, died in 2018 at age 117.[7]
Tldr: looks like life shit completely down their throats. Kinda feels familiar…
Life and the wealthy have been shitting on people for ever.
Oh great, a graph telling me I’m going to die soon. I’m not even that old.
I know we don’t know each other very well, but… Can I have your stuff?
I’ve let my family know that SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone can have my VHS tape of the original West End production of Cats, my Windows 98 CD-R with the license key written on it in marker pen, my Tazos collection (all 4 of them) and my Haynes Workshop Manual for Ford Escort. Enjoy.
The little dance I just danced. This is all I’ve ever wanted. Happy day. Praise the god of the toilet.
damn, a haynes manual. you really are gonna die soon. me too.
This seems like it can be easily avoided by just downloading the drivers without using the nvidia app.
Are you actually able to do that now? You used to not be able to or they were sufficiently hidden.
You can just use the manual search tool on nvidia to find your driver. My understanding is the 9 & 10 series support is going to end soon.

When you run the installer you have a choice to install their app or not.
How the fuck does this protect kids? Adjusting graphics settings? Why not bar them from adjusting volume while they’re at it.
Some of those graphics might be showing boobies. Obviously this must be regulated.
No it is not. Dont be a fucking ridiculous idiot.
Nvidia app is DEI woke. Gotta protect the kids.
wow, wow there. no loud music after 8. If the nightstand mic doesn’t pick up the nightly potus prayer, your front door is getting bust open
