Good thing water and electricity can’t be used to harm kids.
Good thing water and electricity can’t be used to harm kids.
I have a 3 year old MacBook that runs my local LLM and Image Generator. I read this article from the perspective that the new PC chips would be for people who want to run their AI locally, but I suppose you’re right, Microsoft is going to push their Copilot as hard as possible.
And those indie studios are going to be AAA studios in a few years, run by people who care about making great games over maximizing profits.
Right… when people realized that a Chromebook can meet most people’s needs because 98%+ of what they do can be done through a browser, then Linux becomes a more viable option.
BUT… while most people don’t use their computers for gaming, the ones who do would be more likely to want to try Linux with Proton. The recent surges will get even more people familiar with how good Linux is, and they will be able to evangelize to the less adventurous.
But don’t worry, the service isn’t changing… they are just charging more because they can.
Yeah, sorry if I came across as aloof, I do know that it’s tough out there, but I do believe that most people come out ahead after a layoff. But there are still many others who don’t, and I do recognize just how lucky I am.
Hang in there… It took me 3 months to find a job and I worked my ass off every day of those 3 months sending out resumes, reworking my resumes, doing applications, having interviews with headhunters (which I’m retrospect was likely a waste of time since they really didn’t do anything for me).
I certainly didn’t want to come off as sounding like getting laid-off was easy, because it was an extremely stressful time of my life, buy I do think back on those 3 months and how I would have liked to have been doing literally anything else other that marketing myself.
And I will say that as a social network LinkedIn is shit, but it does seem to be a good place for job hunting. Make your profile look like someone they’d want to hire, and then try to be that person on the interview (and maybe even the first few months on the job, of you can).
I was laid-off in 2022 and got a pretty nice severance, and my new job pays 40% more. I wish I had known how relatively quickly I was going to find another job because I would have enjoyed my time off a lot more. I personally don’t know anyone who has been laid-off and ended up worse off.
I’ve never had one work and no longer even try.
He’s talking about Baldur’s Gate 3, right?
money is free speech
Can someone explain this to me? I assume this is in relation to campaign finance, but what was the actual argument that makes “(spending/accepting/?) money is free speech”?
I’m guessing Microsoft acquired them to keep people from using it
And that’s also why it was designed to need their servers to authenticate against: because they could charge Microsoft more if their product could be switched off remotely. They likely built the product with the aim of getting bought up. Who wants to run a company for 40 years when you can just skim a few million off of Microsoft and retire?
That’s the story of Fossil: great looking watches, that are subpar quality. I’ve owned 4 Fossil watches over the past 30+ years and I’ve regretted each one. The last was the Carlisle smartwatch, and that will be my last a Fossil.
That’s the animal that uses it’s babies as decoys when threatened, right?
Little fucker in the punch has no idea why momma’s so happy and carefree all the time, and it’s because momma knows that she’s the faster runner between the two of them.
And yet, how often does Elon create and post videos?
This is nice and all, but couldn’t they instead make an arbitrary UI change to the camera app again? I’m almost to the point where I’m using that app with muscle memory again.
Edit: I can’t believe I forgot Baskets. That show is a masterpiece.
There are a few shows I’d rate higher: Breaking Bad (although it had it’s share of ‘throw away’ episodes), Reservation Dogs, Battlestar Galactica (so many throw away episodes), The Newsroom, and Deadwood. I think Deadwood would be my highest ranking, especially for writing and acting.
Obviously I’m sure plenty of examples can be given for why Six Feet Under is better than each of the shows I’ve listed, but that’s the beauty of subjective lists!
My wife and I just finished the finale tonight, and it was a great ending. Very little ambiguity, real closure, and an emotionally appropriate song.
But, I think it is far from “the best TV show”. It may have been “the best” for a TV drama when it came out because it was groundbreaking, but the acting and writing at times could be pretty bad (so many dropped plots with no follow-up or consequences). It also went on for far too long, which was a consequence of having to create 12 episodes per season, each the same length.
It’s worth watching, but I’d give it a 7.8/10.
Where do you get your Adderall? I’ve tried talking to my doctor about it and he just says that I’m trying to take on too much, but I feel like I’ve been able to accomplish almost nothing this year.
Also, please share your fanfic when you’ve gotten it recorded.
Yes, happens quite often and not just with coffee, but also soda cups.
Typically it’s lotion and my wife is allergic to Bath & Body Works lotions and has had full blown asthma attacks from a cup being handed into our car.
