And that just underlines my decision to quit Duolingo when it got contaminated with AI stop.

I can tell you from experience that AI was worse at teaching me a language than humans were.

To be fair, I’d hate my life, too, if I lived next to a bunch of MAGA morons.

I’m running a pair of nvidia cards. An 3080ti drives 4, and a 4060 drives the other two.

PC is a 12700 with 64gb and 4tb of ssd. Running Arch and KDE. Sometimes Hyprland when KDE is being a pig.

Yup! Running Gnome on my laptop is dreamy, but on my 6-screen desktop it’s a mess - ends up feeling like a huge phone. KDE handles the desktop perfectly, tho!

Because Oracle sucks donkey balls.

Yet another reason to look at non US CPUs going forward. Either RISC-V or ARM from Europe/Korea.

This. Only the server owner needs a plexpass.

The AI slop is why I quit Duolingo after my 1500+ day streak.

Yup. Same goes for being employed - if they’re publicly traded they’ll almost certainly treat their staff like absolute garbage.

The policy damage is easily repairable. The reremovedtion damage is going to take a lot longer. Trust is hard to gain and easy to lose, and the US has been shedding a LOT of trust recently.

Hell, you couldn’t pay me to cross the border right now. (Literally - my employer offered me a 20% raise to go work in the NY office and I laughed at them.) I don’t want to risk getting a one way trip to El Salvodore because some psycho with a badge doesn’t like the shirt I’m wearing, or whatever fucking excuse they use.

Decades. Lifetimes, even.
The US has shown that it’s not a reliable partner. Sure, the next pres might be sane, but what about the one after that? They’ve shown they’re more than happy to elect a con man and do sfa to keep him in check - they’ve done it twice now, so it’s near 100% that they’ll do it again.

The entire USA is in FO stage of FAFO, and now China and Europe will be the players to watch. I mean, other than watching the US flush itself down the toilet to own the Libs, obvs.

sudo reboot, that way the gui gets to die in a fire, too!

So much this. Closest we get seems to be a Prius. :(

Staying away from cybertrucks is just good sense anyway. They’re being driven by morons and are NOT safe to be in a collision with. S’why they’re not road legal in the EU - they’re too dangerous to things they collide with.

Friends can still stream for free, as long as the server is paying for plex pass. That was my main concern, too, but they make a point of stating it directly in the release.
