Is it good so far?

Ironically it’s my trans sister that has had the most trouble with this. I love her to bits but I don’t know how her brain works sometimes.

People buy games, but some games have been set up so they stop working in a few years. The petition is asking the EU to make it clearer if/when the games stop working, or to make it so the games never stop working. The petition passed it’s goal, but they’re worried that some of the signatures aren’t real, so they’re aiming to get a bigger number so even if a lot aren’t real it’ll still pass the needed number.

And if it like blows in the wind that’s a whole jigglebone system and wind simulation that’s a lot of stuff going on

Running Ubuntu 25.04 with Wayland plasma so it’ll play nice with my rig, really happy so far. My login screen doesn’t display properly for some reason but it’s the last in a list of minor problems I’ve been getting through.

I mean, there was one person that didn’t in this article, and they got fired.

You know that sounds an awful lot like how windows GUI behaves. I only recently started daily driving and the amount of gui elements you can change is mind blowing.

This was a roller coaster and I was engrossed the entire time.

Are there 9 haters? It wasn’t my favourite but it’s very good and I don’t think it’s a bad favourite at all.

That sounds well below the acceptable % for doa parts, especially if ASRock is indeed nuking chips.

For real, installing Linux nowadays is pretty painless for the most part, windows has this 27 stage process for opting out of a online account.

Like both have issues, you’re just used to the windows issues, but those are progressively getting more intrusive.

Great idea dipshit, who’s gonna foot the power bill, you?

For sure. I can at least give them the benefit of the doubt when they say that shadow organisations are trying to control them. Like that can happen, it does happen, it’s kind of happening. Motivations can range from societal change to world ending prophecy. However when they say shit is explicitly for making money, that’s a very clear cut goal you can easily prove or disprove.

I did something similar to what this article describes a bit back. For me it was turning off my phone, the effect was staggering. Anxiety etc dropped immediately.

For me in particular, it was being constantly available to anyone in my life, but also the doom scrolling, and knowing there’s a vast ocean of infinite content at my fingertips. Sure, I could curate my experience, and block people, but overall the phone is still functioning largely the same as it ever does. I can always turn those features back on. By changing how the device works externally, you’re disconnecting those people from the decade and a half of reinforcement and whatever they have associated with their phones.

To get similar results I was able to just turn off my phone, but that might vary for some. Anyway, it seems reasonable for the experiment at least.

See I don’t follow that one, because how are they actually making money in this theory?

In the real world the ai bullshit is just another grift that’s a giant money pit. While I recognise people that follow these kinds of theories probably don’t have critical thinking skills, I wish they would following thinking to it’s conclusion. It’s a stupid hope I know.

Anti sematic behaviour is unfortunately part of the internet and general historical data, which means it could very well be an undercurrent in training data. AIs then could exhibit subconscious biases, no matter how many times the creators tell them not to be racist.

Idk dude, we already have the sun and wind but they hate that stuff too, despite it being very close to free. Hell they’ll probably bitch about fusion causing a surplus of power outside peak loads.

If it doesn’t perpetuate the broken ways we currently do things it doesn’t give their buddies money, so it’s woke or something else bullshit.

Fucking DLLs

Seconding this. Anecdotally from my last job in support, every drive failure we had was a Seagate. WDs and samsungs never seemed to have an issue.

I’m sure this is real, but I see a headline like that and I think of schoolyard talk. Like, nuh uh, my armour has 100 trillion bonds, you can’t shoot me.
