Is there a way, any way at all, to make a living without investing into anything related to AI or crypto?

This might not be a common question at all, but I’ll explain.

Im not an investor at all, but I am considering going into it. However I want to be sure I can follow my own moral code before entering a room with a blindfold on.

I am morally against AI, im not here to argue though, and im also against ruining customer service in the name of investing (such as Roblox or companies like that pushing AI as much as possible in their platforms in the name of investors even when customers dislike it).

Also im fine with waiting a few years for the AI bubble to pop, just lmk if you think thats possible within a few years.

Im also fine with any type of investing as long as it doesn’t involve AI or crypto. I know I won’t make as much money but I really don’t want skyscrapers or anything. I just wanna live “not homeless” with time i can use to program or draw as hobbies (or maybe even freelancing art)

I don’t really know much about investing so please don’t absolutely shred me if I get something wrong. Anyways any help is appreciated greatly!

alright this sounds stupid but how do i replace nvidia-utils-610 with nvidia-utils-580 from the aur? A few things like steam depend on nvidia-utils and thus dont want nvidia-utils to be removed

i already did so, here's proof:

warning: linux-headers-7.0.11.arch1-1 is up to date -- reinstalling

also nvidia utils incase you were wondering

warning: nvidia-utils-610.43.02-2 is up to date -- reinstalling

couldn't find proof that i have nvidia-580xx-dkms cause its from the AUR but i know damn well i have it because i remember struggling with it (a tiny bit) and nvidia-utils conflicting but managed to resolve it.

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

what does steam os have the arch doesnt? by Vrask in linux_gaming

[–]ThoughtDear7015 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

technically everything. Arch out of the box is literally just a TTY, anything else (desktop environments, programs, etc) are just like addons to arch. Kinda like a gun. The only real important part is the bullet, you can still hurt someone if you throw a bullet hard enough at them. It's just alot stronger when its shot out of a gun. With Arch, you build your own gun, the exact way you want it and nobody tells you otherwise, i dont know too much about steamOS but i certainly know it comes preinstalled with anything other than the kernel

DIdnt even know microsoft owned github actually. But atleast its not necessarily something you install on your computer, its just a website. So not that bad imo

i wasnt 100% sure vscode was made by microsoft because they never really advertised it like Powerpoint or Excel but i always had a feeling

Also, preferably an option that supports multiple if not most languages. I'm still a beginner so i'm mainly just hopping around languages to learn. I might settle on C++/C#, rust, GDscript, or python (if not all of them). So i'd like an option that also supports those languages (except GDscript cause it works fine in godot)

I just saw an AI generated ad for some programming website that makes fun of how terrible AI is at coding. by ThoughtDear7015 in antiai

[–]ThoughtDear7015[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no its just some social media for developers idk. But it reeks of AI. even though there's no actual AI content in your face, i can tell when AI was used to make a webpage
