Oh, you have more than 4GB of RAM? Looks like the Linux Starter Edition subscription won’t be enough for you. You’ll need to upgrade to Linux Pro Home Studio with Copilot Standard for $35 a month

Honestly I have to begrudgingly dual boot windows a few times a month to use certain software for freelancing work, so I bought an enterprise windows 11 key from a grey market vendor for like 12 bucks and then used group policy to disable copilot everywhere it was possible

As a software engineer who’s recently been using the latest advanced models in my workflow, I think that’s where it is most useful. It’s generally great for more tedious and mundane tasks like writing documentation, or building small functions with explicit inputs and outputs. And while that’s not crazy impressive, that previously was taking up a much larger part of my time, leaving me more time to focus on bigger picture stuff.

That being said, it’s definitely wildly overvalued, and being shoved into everything, often where it makes no sense and is just a glorified chatbot.

One reason this sucks so much is people say shit like this at crypto conferences and mean it as a compliment

Hmm interesting.

But the CDC website was recently updated to say that we can’t say that vaccines don’t cause autism because there is not enough definitive research that proves they don’t, we need to follow new science.

So since we haven’t been able to remove all the neutrons in someone’s home and prove it would always violently disintegrate all matter we can’t say for sure it would and people should be free to do what they want until those dumb science dudes can prove it. New science says so

“Do you take your spouse until the end of time? As your final relationship? Your final fantasy?”

That’s true, but also inversely generally being gross on a property does not outweigh the value of the property over time in most cases. Even having gross tenants over time at market rent generally results in net profit after they leave and any additional cleanup costs incurred, plus you still own the property at the end of the day, and if we’re talking about houses, you probably own the land too.

I’ve seen what you’re describing and I think what you’re getting at is more of a societal systemic issue related to mental health and income. Most people I think would like to live clean and healthy lives, but they either need mental health support they aren’t getting/can’t afford, etc, and/or are spending more time working/taking care of family/battling addiction or whatever and end up not taking care of themselves or where they live

But at the end of the day this is all anecdotal and the whole thing should be addressed by a governing body made up of compassionate voted-in representatives using available resources and a scientific approach that want to fix the problem rather than arbitrary individuals chatting about it

Yep. As always: Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst.

Yeah especially because they tend to add new features and enable them by default. I dislike having to use windows, but powertoys is where actual UX and power user improvements happen, so it’s a must. But like if “auto dark mode” was turned on globally there would be people shooting their computers for being dark on their property

Wonder if you specify to use en dashes instead if it just collapses and the simulation resets

Maybe anecdotal evidence from any single person isn’t enough to go on either way, but the topic at hand that video games need access to secure encryption hardware to run probably isn’t super cool should be the discussion

Which definitely shouldn’t be murder, but manslaughter makes sense. Your unethical actions non-deliberately caused someone’s death

Trump goes BALLISTIC and ERUPTS as he is SLAMMED from behind by dems

It sucks knowing we’re probably past the age of non-sensationalist headlines

On all my devices I automatically switch light / dark mode / blue light shifts based on sunrise / sunset. Granted my computer desk is against a window, but I find that my electronic screens generally aligning with outdoor brightness works pretty well for me

Can’t pass it on to your kids when the bank forecloses on it

The GG could only go about five, if you were lucky, on six AA

Which, while of course requiring exponentially more power, the Switch 2 only goes for about 6 hours on less demanding games, funny how battery life hasn’t really changed much for advanced handhelds.
