The person who wrote this must be absolutely insane. How I’d it a bad thing for the world that people are holding on to their devices? Less e-waste and people don’t spend impulsively. It’s also very logical: smartphones reached a plateau and people aren’t exactly swimming in money with the rising price of everything.
When you don’t care about the truth you don’t have put so much energy into maintaining quality
That’s probably not too hard to detect based on IP. They only do it for some content though. The only content I watch that has this block is official Formula 1 content on YouTube. It’s probably something that creators can enable when they want to region lock content or something
Two minute papers has really gone down the drain. Or my perspective changed. I used to love the channel, but it got increasingly clickbaity and shallow. Rather than explaining the contents of the papers the videos became hype talks that made it all sounds way more impressive and revolutionairy than it was.
Aren’t CRT monitors actually quite nice for pixel art games? Maybe the dad just really likes his old games
Still grinding Hades 2. Just like the original Hades the game just keeps throwing new stuff at you, so you keep playing. One thing I do find weird tho is how quickly I managed to unlock the different weapons. And also that the initial staff weapon is by far my favorite, so every weapon unlock thereafter felt a bit underwhelming. I guess it makes sense that they provide you with the most all-round weapon first.
Lol no. I’ve been using Linux for 10 years and it’s been a continuous dumpster fire. Constant issues l, especially with Nvidia, across many different machines. Issues with wine, no X11 (or Wayland) after updates, games not starting, etc, etc. Across Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch (and derivatives).
Yet I almost exclusively use Linux nowadays. Why? Because it’s a dumpster fire I can influence. Windows is going to shit, they were taking my PC hostage, installing spyware, ads, forcing updated without my consent. On Linux I have to invest hours to fix shit, on Windows I can get fucked whenever something happens that I don’t want.
With proton advancing, Wayland working somewhat usable even with Nvidia,my threshold was passed. I’d rather fix the fixable Linux issues that cost me time than deal with Windows any longer. But for the layman I’m not sure I’d recommend it. I’m a computer scientist. I can fixodt issues, it’s just a question of time and energy. But that doesn’t go for everyone.
I’d love to see the look Macron and Zelensky gave each other at some point during or after this scene. The things you do for peace…
Also Trump 2028? That’s unconstitutional right? And he’s showing this to other world leaders?! That should be some kind of lawsuit in and of itself.
Even people who’ve been at it for years. I am skeptical of the AI hype bubble as much as anyone here, but it’s been very useful for fixing things in Linux. Just in the past years it helped me (among others):
I’ve been using Linux with Nvidia for 10 years and it’s been a constant dumpster fire. The Nvidia driver constantly caused issues over these 10 years, especially during updates. Currently I’m having the issue that the entirety of Wayland, including all open programs, crash when I run out of VRAM because the Linux Nvidia drivers cannot fall back on RAM when running out of VRAM. It’s making my gaming experience very frustrating.
Yeah I have the same with Rollercoaster Tycoon classic. I spent money for it and really enjoyed it, but instead of patching that version for newer phones they just released a “new” version that’s compatible with newer phones. I should’ve expected this from Atari, but damn it’s so scummy
I tend to keep them around tbh. Sometimes I install random shit on them or use them for funny projects. I only miss one because it broke completely. The other 2 old phones are still here. I also don’t buy a new phone every year so maybe that helps
I’m gonna fight to make sure that moment never comes. Though I seem to have been blessed anyway, I’m in my 30s and my hair hasn’t really disappeared much at all.
Damn what a crybaby. I’ve recently discovered that “non-manly” products tend to be better anyways. I don’t want my hair to smell like chemicals, I want it to smell like roses or mango. I want my skin and hair to be soft. And I generally don’t need 5-in-1 shower products
As long as it’s a bit of a sandbox: hell yeah. But there needs to be stuff happening, things to do. I love games like GTA, Cyberpunk, Just Cause, Stalker, because you can just go around the world and experience random stuff happening. Sometimes I don’t want a goal, but just a sandbox to create my own stories.
I haven’t tried them, so I cannot judge, but I’m just afraid I’ll run into issues when I will have to go off the beaten path. Inevitably I’ll have to do something hacky in order to fix some obscure software that the maintainers of the distro didn’t think of, and that’s currently already a big pain. But in such a strict setting it will be even more difficult. There will be no documentation and probably no guide or questions/answers on any forum either.
I’d be willing to try it for a productivity setup if I needed a reinstall, but not for my main PC because I just rely on too many hacks to get shit working.
Well if I could quickly check how all clothes would fit on me without going to the store and without having to change clothes, I’d probably spend the same effort. Having a character creator would also be neato
Although censorship is obviously bad, I’m kinda intrigued by the way it’s yapping against itself. Trying to weigh the very important goal of providing useful information against its “programming” telling it not to upset Winnie the Pooh. It’s like a person mumbling “oh god oh fuck what do I do” to themselves when faced with a complex situation.
Isn’t that better anyway? Inheritance makes the world less fair, as children of rich parents will get a huge advantage. If that money is instead spent, it hopefully distributes over society again instead if staying in the rich families.
It’s obviously not that black and white, getting some money is a great help to you get people. And obviously a parent will want to help their children, that’s totally fair. But as a larger trend it doesn’t seem like a bad thing to me.
Honestly, not at all. If CS paid like shit I’d still do it. Out of all the things it’s just what I enjoy most. Studying CS didn’t feel like something I had to do but rather something I wanted to do most of the time. Programming is like solving puzzles but then much cooler
