If AI is so rampent and used for evil purposes. Can we not use it for good purposes like creating a personalized JARVIS like in Iron Man? Would that not be better than using it for fake images?

laughs in Hong Kong students
So there's this exam called the DSE exam that is a VERY BIG deal as it determines if you can get into university and thus your future career.
There was a subject called Liberal Studies, and you basically an entire essay for each question. Every high school LS teacher will teach you the templates of different types of questions so you can score points.
At one point, the HKEAA (the group that organises the exam) asked the teachers to not teach the templates, but it's almost impossible to score anything if you don't follow the template.
So no one listened, and it was still how it was taught until the subject got cancelled.

Statistically it's low FPS.
The rest of the options are only applicable to online multiplayer games, and the question maker was using a general word "Gamers".

Corsair HS55 Wireless Dolby 7.1 on Linux?

Thank you! I'll try this out later
I recently bought a Corsair HS55 Wireless Headset. They stated it supports Dolby 7.1, IF you use the iCue software, which doesn't work on Linux. Using pavucontrol, I can change the profile between `Analog Stereo Output`, `Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output` and `Digital Surround 5.1 (IEC958/AC3) Output`, but the `Analog` one is the only one that works. The other 2 just results in broken audio. There's not even a 7.1 option. I don't have high hope about this, and I expected it to not work when I bought it, but it would be nice if anyone has some ideas.

Jokes about loss of life are never funny
I did the banner for this community 4 months ago, and I think the time has come to make one for @splatoon@wetdry.world ! This time around, I want everyone to suggest something, instead of me crafting it up from scratch, so please leave your suggestions here for Summatia! She'll take your order! I should also mention your suggestions need not be the "main" thing. What I want are some little details, or background elements you'd like to see in the banner. (This is kind of what a local HK restaurant waiter looks like) (Thanks to Experiencer for poking me about this every now and then)
Here are 3 examples: Fried egg, fried rice, fried chicken All these "fry" are different. If you were to use the "fry" in fried rice to fry an egg, you'd get scrambled egg. Fried chicken is done by submerging it in oil, which you won't do with fried egg or fried rice. This post is made from the perspective of a Cantonese/Chinese speaker. We have different words for these different types of "fry" (煎, 炒, 炸 respectively) (Turns out I did post it in the wrong sub and I didn't realize, and now I feel very stupid. Photon UI has once again screwed me over. Got mad for no reason.)

I'm a Hongkonger and often need to type in Chinese. While I can use input methods like Cangjie or Quick, I much prefer handwriting to keep in mind how to write the characters in a digital age. So far, I have only seen open source keyboards without handwriting support. Does any of them exist?

I have 2 physical output devices, say "speakers" and "headphones", and I frequently switch between them. I also have a script that creates 2 virtual sinks for voice call and game by loading module-combine-sink twice on "speakers" and "headphones". It works, but it's annoying that every time I want to switch device, I also need to mute the other one. Ideally, I want to use module-remap-sink instead, remapping the 2 virtual sinks to the default one. This is where I'm stuck. What do I put in for master?

Alt text: A planned driving route on Google Maps, crossing the Wan Chai district in 1 minute.
For a few months now, Pipewire has been acting in weird ways. Before I upgraded to Plasma 6, after a screen blank (not suspend) no media can be played. For example, YouTube player is in the loading state for a long time, eventually playing without sound, VLC doesn't start for a few minutes. I have to restart the Pipewire Systemd service to fix it. This restart process takes much longer than usual (<1 seconds). Sometimes it takes up to 5 minutes. Now with Plasma 6, it also does the same after the initial login. I'm guessing this is because Plasma ignores some KWIN_X11_* env var? However, if I restart the Pipewire service prior to playing any media after login or screen blank, it takes <1 seconds and everything plays correctly. This seems to be the problem with the HDMI audio only, as switching to the USB headphones (before screen blanks) prevents this from happening. How should I start troubleshooting this? What other details should I provide?
I'm working on a presentation about the Fediverse, and would like to end the presentation with a slogan. Any ideas? Edit: I probably should've specified more stuff. This is an informative presentation, not persuasive, and I don't plan to get into the enshittification. Ideally I don't want to include any corporations. Edit 2: My title is "The Future is Everywhere"
Matters are not evenly distributed. Edit: lol this is as controversial as I expected

I remember reading somewhere (probably my high school textbook) that one of the reasons people don't like wind power being built is they cause visual pollution. In my opinion, I think **it would be pretty cool** to just look out my window and see a giant windmill there, the opposite of visual pollution.
