Living in Southern Ontario the climate here is already fucked. this past winter was just all over the place. Didn’t have much of a spring just transitioned from Winter to Summer. probably going to be the same for Fall just from Summer right to Winter. I mean we had a few chilly days in August.
the UN? best we can do is strongly worded letter.
I use CachyOS (Arch) and NixOS and haven’t had any problems. Modding on NixOS is a bit more of a headache but it’s not a deal breaker. Everything just works. Sure I can’t play League or Valorant or EA multiplayer games but not like I was playing those anyways. IF you do enjoy those games then your linux gaming experience isn’t going to be great.
As far as distros go? hell you can play on whatever one you want. Like I said I sometimes game on NixOS. I know a guy that even play games on Kali when he’s not doing his pen testing stuff.
Even for older games with Emulation it’s great. NixOS is my defacto remote emulation machine because it’s so painfully easy to set up retroarch on it. Otherwise I have Ubuntu on my private server and I run RomM on it and it has all my roms on there.
I prefer to pay artists I like directly either via merch, patreon, or going to their concerts.
for my music? soulseek/nicotine+ on my server.
the problem is Spotify is by far the best streaming platform out there, bar none. I’ve tried the other’s like Tidal and Deezer and what have you and just didn’t like them. Amazon Music was absolutely horrible. The only other alternative would be youtube music with an adblocker. How do I find new artists? youtube shorts believe it or not.
But yeah I’d rather pay the artists directly.
they were even doing it this past weekend here in Toronto, Canada. People marching and holding up posters of Kirk. was insane.
Funny thing was seeing a bunch of POC among them and I’m thinking “you moronic motherfuckers, if the cops weren’t here they’d turn on you without a moments hesitation.”
I do freelance/consultation dev work and I’d say most of my clients are having this problem right now. But this is a problem of their own doing. Most got rid of their dev teams and instead leveraged AI and less than a handful of junior devs to essentially just be prompt monkeys. I eventually get called into these places to code review the slop that got churned out and the majority of the time the solution is to start from scratch without heavily utilizing LLM’s that got them into this situation in the first place. The problem is though they now need to hire competent senior level devs again. But they can’t.
They place ads on linkedin, indeed, etc and then get absolutely hammered with resumes written by AI. The vast majority of which are resumes from people that are either incredibly unqualified or are from like India. They again had to stop using AI to read them because naturally it’s just pulling the bullshit from the pile of bullshit it’s being fed. The ACTUAL devs that are applying get lost in the shuffle. Now they have to manually comb through all the resumes and verify that they’re not AI crap before even attempting to read it.
So it wouldn’t surprise me if places are just giving up and no one is getting hired. I can speak for myself and other consultants I personally know that we’re having to turn down work because we’re booked solid and don’t have the time. I’ve run out of people to refer jobs to cause we’re all in the same boat.
The industry axed a metric shit ton of people and now needs them back and they simply can’t find them.
yeah this isn’t WH 40K. You can’t make a “Primaris Putin” and “continuous organ transplants” are only going to top you out at a few extra years, maybe, unless this fucker has somehow struck a deal with Nurgle or Khorne or some other Warp entity.
Now if his flesh starts bubbling and his intestines are suddenly on the outside of his body and he grows a maw on his shoulder? yeah then I’d start worrying.
I did one years ago on Reddit and someone made a youtube video out of it without my permission that went semi-viral so I’m sure it’s on there somewhere. Just youtube something like “Reddit porn industry AMA”
started my career as a developer working for an adult entertainment industry company (porn) so yeah. Everything I know today is from titties and the bang bus.
There was literally a guy the other day that was arrested for wearing a t-shirt about the genocide in palestine or was he also associated with this group
Peertube takes awhile to figure out/get going. Other stuff like Mastodon/Akkoma, Lemmy/Piefeed, were easy to figure out to the point where I just set up my own Akkoma instance on my server.
Peertube…oof that took awhile. Yeah the problem is the recommendations and search. you really have to get in there and dig through the top layer of shit before you find the diamonds underneath. There are some FANTASTIC tutorial channels on PeerTube for dev stuff, linux, game dev, etc.
Also the other problem is finding a good Peertube instance. Don’t go by whatever lists are out there, it’s honestly via word of mouth that you’ll find the good ones which is sort of a shame. I think that’s the main thing that’s holding it back. for stuff like Mastodon or even Piefeed/Lemmy what instance you’re on doesn’t matter all that much as their all incredibly connected and pretty much provide you with the same “front end” so to speak.
Peertube? it’s a mess in most cases. Some instances are super duper customized to the instance owners preferences, others are barely searchable, etc so in a way unlike other fediverse stuff Peertube feels a bit disconnected from itself
Sooooo UK citizens aren’t allowed to speak out against Israel or even say anything remotely bad about Israel but the UK government is all “we can treat Isreal however we want”
If I were living in the UK right now and I read this article I’d be all “what the fuck? rules for me but not for thee?”
well they sure as fuck ain’t killing Hamas. Someone needs to update the wikipedia for this “war” to change it from Israel vs Hamas to Israel vs The Associated Press
Seriously, can’t remember the last time they killed Hamas en masse other than a single “commander” but they sure as hell are good at killing Journalists, blowing up hospitals, and butchering children.
it’s true that it has gotten better with sources. However remember the context of the conversation? much worse. But I can see the direction OpenAI is trying to take it. short one off responses/solutions with little followup.
It is better than Claude though. Claude will just make stuff up or say EVERYTHING is a “known issue” when it isn’t.
