I’ve never spanked my children but if you’ve never thought that spanking a child might be a good idea then you don’t have kids. Those little shits don’t understand empathy or anything else that you’re appealing to when you say violence is never the answer. Being desperate to find a solution to their behavioral problems is totally understandable.
Nah, my EV charged on solar will cruise right past their broke asses while I give them the finger
That may be true but it hasn’t been my experience which is why I phrased my comment that way
LLMs absolutely do not cost $0/hour. They’re heavily discounting it’s actual cost in order to gain users and even that discounted price is cost prohibitive in many cases.
In my experience, only the dumb people are excited about AI. The rest use it sparingly at best and generally don’t like it.
I do, but unfortunately the dog just refuses to shit on the wall
Israel does have compulsory military service though.
I watched his video on renewable energy and it was awesome. That ending was very unexpected but he killed it. Thanks for the info
Who is that? I love heat pumps too and would happily listen to someone talk about them for hours
any company who allows themselves to be cowed by his parlor tricks will lose investor confidence.
That sounds like a pretty significant change in behavior to me. Do you have any reason to believe this is true and not just wishful thinking?
We’re close to “use Linux, it just works” but the closer it gets the more glaring the remaining issues become.
Yeah I totally feel that. For basic PC stuff like web browsing it’s already there and that’s part of what makes gaming so annoying. You can tell that everything else is designed with flexibility and the user experience in mind so when a game just refuses to boot it feels more disappointing. I want it to be ready for everyone to use and it just isn’t.
My problem is I forget and try to look at something else out of habit. Then I come back to the game and it’s borked. Before I figured out that horrible vulkan shaders load time issue it would take 20 minutes for the game to launch again. Not exactly trouble free to say the least.
I disagree that those things happen on Windows, at least with any comparable frequency. I can count on one hand the number of games that have caused me serious problems on Windows over 20 years. By comparison I can count on one hand the number of games that have worked without any issues on Linux.
Granted, I haven’t tried nearly as many games on Linux but that does illustrate the point pretty well, which is that most people aren’t going to fuss with settings for hours just to get a game to launch. They’re going to get frustrated and say “this doesn’t work” then switch back to Windows. I really want gaming on Linux to be a viable replacement but I honestly don’t think I would recommend it to any of my less technically inclined friends. It would just be an annoyance to them.
Bazzite isn’t a bad distro, I’m currently running it on my gaming PC, but to be honest I’ve found it kind of frustrating. I’ve gotten used to Debian through my self hosting experiences and Bazzite is much more sandboxed than that, and not in a fun way (at least to me). It’s a good option for people coming from Windows but if you have previous Linux experience I don’t think you would enjoy it. I will probably switch to something else soon.
Despite the recent hype, I also haven’t had great experiences with gaming on Linux in general. It’s much better than it used to be but there’s still a lot of inconveniences in too many instances. Things that are not insurmountable but definitely more annoying than they should be. I don’t think casual gamers would put up with most of it.
As an example, Helldivers 2 works pretty well except for the fact that it black screens anytime you alt+tab out of the game. What good is being able to play it if you have to restart every time you check a message from a friend, open a web browser, or start playing music? I don’t want to deal with that and most people are way more likely to get frustrated with stuff like that and quit than I am.
“Every living thing you’ve ever seen with your own eyes is facing extinction”
“Yeah but some bacteria will probably be fine”
Why do you guys feel the need to point this out every time? Let the suicidal greed that’s causing the death of most life forms on the planet be the focus of the conversation instead of pivoting to some philosophical musings on a future that no one wants to experience. That’s an insane thing to do.
Trump doesn’t want anything but money and power. He has the most base motivations of anyone I’ve ever seen. Any actual strategy does not come from him. He’s too clumsy and unintelligent for planning things in a coherent manner.
Sooner or later we’ll get the guillotines out. Although it looks like that won’t happen until it’s far too late, which it may already be.
You’ve successfully described why I don’t spank them and articulated that you understand the impulse so… Thanks for agreeing with me in the weirdest way possible I guess
