Look, I hate the Americans with a seething passion as well, but they’re getting fucked over even more than we are right now.

Evil doesn’t suddenly become okay when you dislike the victims…

comfortable office work to which most people aspire

What ? Do people even aspire to work in the first place ? And idk about you, but I’d rather have been a craftswoman if you could still live off of that.

You went to an elite school, and you studied philosophy; hopefully you have some other skill

You think AI can do PHILOSOPHY !? AI can barely put together one fucking function when coding, and you think it can do philosophy ? Either he’s knowingly lying (he is) or he understands so little about philosophy that the AI can fool him (probably also true)

Yes. If you can see the difference between 4K and 8K, it just means you are sitting too close to the screen. 4K is at the perceptual limit when seated at a distance where you can actually see the whole screen.

Use GrapheneOS so you can “unlock” your phone and enter the wipe code instead.

All I can hear is “Get ready to smash some clankers soon” ✨

Thank you mister Elon Musk for making the most advanced punching bags yet ! Pretty please, can you make it so they bleed when we destroy them ? Being splashed with android blood sounds absolutely glorious 👑

My advice is : just use Nix.

It always works. It does all the steps for you. You will never “forget a step” because either someone has already made a package, or you just make your own that has all the steps, and once that works, it works literally forever.

It probably depends on what you do, but 16GB is still able to do everything I personally need from my computer. I wish I had more VRAM though, 12GB is getting a little short for some AAA releases (fortunately I rarely play AAA games)

“Your messages are public and being read by silicon valley creeps”

That’s easy enough to understand.

I considered this option, but public WiFi is not ubiquitous enough here (in France) for my usage, and I believe a SIM card is absolutely required even for emergency services, which is what ultimately turned me off the idea.

My take : Prices got you down ? Keep the hardware you already have ! No one else can upgrade anyway, games requirements aren’t going up anytime soon.

Obviously that doesn’t cover you if you don’t already have a machine, in which case I would go DDR3.

But for those who do, does anyone upgrade anymore ? I’m on 2019 hardware and everything runs perfectly good. Oftentimes great !

“OnePlus shoots own foot. Likely to blame consumers for it”

You’re using the misappropriated conservative definition of the word. Woke originally means “aware of systemic discrimination”. You’re “awake” to the fact the system is trying to crush you.

Hallucination is mathematically proven to be unsolvable with LLMs. I don’t deny this may have drastically reduced it, or not, I have no idea.

But hallucinations will just always be there as long as we use LLMs.

“side” loading is just normal loading for me. I have one single app from the google app store. (It’s cookie clicker 😂)

Dammit, it was very useful to poison subtitle files for AI !

Write immense amounts of garbage text outside the viewport. AI sees it, viewers don’t ! I believe there’s even a way to prevent screen readers from getting confused by it… It was great.

I’d rather have no PC than a cloud PC.

And I’m a computer scientist, so that’s saying something ! I’d sooner switch careers to lumberjack (lumberjane ? What’s the feminine ?) than have to work on that feudal nonsense.

Yes but that doesn’t always translate to every program. But also, I use Plasma anyway x)

Would they kindly discuss using Super+C and Super+V for copy paste instead ? It’s the only thing I miss from macOS.
