That song goes hard though. Felt bad ending it.

That is generally what I use in my homelab. Though I’ve found that Fedora works a bit better for a general purpose daily workstation OS.

Did you even read the wiki? It’s so easy! Totally beginner friendly provided a basic level of literacy.

/s, hopefully obviously. Arch is a fragile house of cards.

I think you mean here.

Yeah, there was a great video on YouTube I saw a few days ago that went over why Sony is backing Pocket Pair, why Nintendo is making this case about patents, why that’s a massive risk for Nintendo, and why Nintendo is willing to take that risk.

It largely seemed to come down to the Nintndo-Sony rivalry that started when Nintendo backed out of the SNES era deal to create the PlayStation. Nintendo is trying to crush Sony’s potentially viable competitor to their largest franchise and are making the case a patent case because that’s the only route they can pursue. If they lose, Nintendo stands to lose those patents.

The video in question

I’d like to second that “go fuck yourself,” but I won’t because they don’t deserve the pleasure.

I’ve been around educators pretty much my entire life. My Dad was an instructor for the local electrical workers union, my sister is a special education teacher for K-3 children, my Mom teaches photography as a side job, I currently work with a man who was a marine corp instructor for network administration, and I’ve worked with at least five other people who were educators in some capacity either currently or in the past. All of them were masters of their field.

Saying that people who choose to teach their craft to others only do so because they are in some way incompetent is thoroughly disgusting and this fuckstain should be ashamed.

I dual-booted for almost five years. Never once did I have to boot to Windows to fix Linux. Sometimes I’d have to boot to Linux to fix Windows or boot to a Linux live USB to fix the bootloader that Windows broke. But never did I have to use Windows to fix Linux.

The very idea of using Windows to fix Linux seems absurd.

To be fair to Meta, they did tell you they might do that. They didn’t lie. They just told you in the find print of an already convoluted and arcane legal document that they know most people would never read, fewer would understand, and no one could do anything to change.

So unlike Tesla, where they did lie about FSD’s capabilities, and that is at best false advertising but probably actually fraud, Meta at least had a thin veneer of plausible deniability against accusations of being liars when they sold your data to unknown third-parties because they did tell you about it, you just needed a law degree to understand what they were telling you.

I’m not, but for a few bars of gold-pressed latinum I could be.

A bad friend won’t help you bury a body.

A good friend will help you bury a body.

A best friend will help you make a body.

Fascinating, and highly illogical.

Use Solaris. You can’t have mental health issues if your brain is on the wall.

I suspect they were trying to make a joke about how the MAGA people like to think they’re patriots fighting against the Democrats who stole the election.

The apostrophe was probably a typo.

Pretty sure the term “prepper” is just shorthand for “doomsday prepper” or something to that effect. People who think the collapse of civilisation is, if not imminent, a strong possibility within the next human lifetime and are preparing for that.

I am definitely not that. I just take precautions against the specific emergencies that occur where I live with a level of regularity.

Blizzards knock out power for hours sometimes into a day or two once or twice a year. We have multiple earthquakes a day, typically in the M1 to M3 range, but M7+ are once a decade events, M9+ are once are century events. Being ready for reasonable natural disasters isn’t prepping, it’s just smart

Just all of my entertainment is stored locally, either on my NAS, or in the form of physical media (books, blu-rays, physical games), so I’m prepared for a long term internet outage. I can also run everything in the house from battery backups and a generator for about three days or possibly up to a week if I immediately turn off everything that’s nonessential. Longer, if I’m in a position to get additional fuel for the generator.

I also live in an area that’s prone to earthquakes so I have a total of two weeks worth of nonperishable food and water split between the bedroom, office, and main living area of the house. Along with first-aid kits, Tylenol, ibuprofen, emergency blankets, and spare cold weather clothes.

I’m generally pretty well prepared for the major emergencies that can happen in my region of the world. Those being prolonged internet/cell outages, power outages, and earthquakes.

A 2011 GMC Terrain. It burned oil like none other. The power steering would occasionally just not work upon starting the car, requiring me to turn it off and on again a several times. Sometimes, I’d stop at a red light, the engine would die, and when I’d restart it it’d go into limp mode. And traction control and AWD would occasionally just give out, which can be dangerous where I live due to ice and snow.

The thing was a hazard and GMC and all associated brands can fuck right off.

That’s excellent, truly, but what about first party DRM?

Is it going to require the EA app when purchased on another platform?

I’ll second Portal 2, and other’s mentions of Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime.

It Takes Two is fun, but if you’re paying attention to the story I found it to be a bit preachy about what the writer thinks a good relationship should be.

Smash Bros and Mario Kart are both competitive not co-op.

In most jurisdictions battery involves touching someone while assault is the threat of immediate danger.

Well, that’s kind of shitty. I know those models can run up to five figures, and if those rules aren’t enforced uniformly across the board for everyone then it does just seem like they’re targeting a particular class of creator.

As a side note, I find it funny that the article refers to then as “AI models” when no AI is typically involved.
