Discord supports threaded topic based formats as well.

The reality is that for a lot of interactions, a live chat feels better than a forum post. You can very easily do both on discord, though.

It’s not perfect, but the alternatives that aren’t a whole project by themselves building a tool don’t have feature parity, or the user base.

I’ve had decent experience with nobara with a 2080. I had a couple hiccups early, and had to reinstall basically right away, but after that it’s been solid.

I could see the benefit on a non-phone mobile device. Completely cutting power as a deep sleep without needing a lengthy boot sequence could be nice.

Unless it’s actually “just as fast” as volatile memory (including progress to the latter) and not more expensive, though, it seems like it wouldn’t justify the tradeoffs.

Absolutely.

They’re exactly the same as the audio being out of sync. It literally makes me want to puke.

If you’re actually hearing impaired I’ll probably tolerate it for you. Though realistically we just won’t watch anything together.

Otherwise I hate you for asking. Nothing makes a show/movie unwatchable more than having the text of what a character is going to say shoved in my face before they say it. I’d rather get kicked in the balls repeatedly than watch shit with subtitles. It’s less severe torture.

If they were to do that, and have cross platform purchases/saves (provided I could make it work reasonably on Linux), I would be way more likely to think about buying games from them.

The PS5 is a nice piece of hardware. You can do a lot of stuff better on PC, but the loading tech is still legit. But I’m not buying multi platform games on PS5 over Steam for a bunch of reasons (steam deck being the biggest, steam input being another, just generally the fact that my PC gives me a lot more future options and modding potential).

Even if they did the UWP locked file shit, being able to bring games from PS5 to Steam Deck to desktop would make them pretty competitive. And I’d start using them regardless for the library I already have.

Because it’s insane, unhinged fear mongering, not even loosely connected to anything resembling reality. LLMs do not have anything in common with intelligence.

And because the entire premise is an obscene attempt to monopolize hardware that literal lone individuals should have as much access to as they can pay for.

The only “existential threat” is corporations monopolizing the use of simple tools that anyone should be able to replicate.

The paper [PDF], which includes voices from numerous academic institutions and several from OpenAI, makes the case that regulating the hardware these models rely on may be the best way to prevent its misuse.

Fuck every single one of them.

No, restricting computer hardware is not acceptable behavior.

Wow that’s hilariously idiotic.

If the source isn’t available at all, yeah. Which is why I brought up the FTC to begin with (since Google is in the US).

But I doubt they’d act if the license isn’t permissive enough.

The FTC takes action against false advertising.

“Open Source” doesn’t have a singular legally relevant definition no matter what organizations claim otherwise, though.

If your stuff runs on Proton with minimal performance penalty, why put resources into not-proton?

It already has legitimacy. It’s their hardware that doesn’t, despite the decent raw flops and high memory.

Board chairman Donald Parker said the move to end broadcasts was more to address the question of whether $8,000 spent on the taping was worth the low viewership than it was a transparency issue.

How the fuck are you spending that much? Just get a shitty camera pointed at the stage or whatever with one shitty mic and a shitty camera/mic pointed at wherever you have citizens comment, plug it into a shitty laptop, and send to YouTube.

No one needs 4K with professionally mastered audio.

Pay what?

Mac hasn’t charged for an OS in ages, and Windows has given “free upgrades” for several version because they’re stealing more data and want people to switch.

They don’t need to make it impossible to do anything else. They just need to make their shitty proprietary solution the lowest friction.

Because they want control.

It’s crazy how different different apps render the same text in the same font.

I ended up having to force roboto thin to get something close to how moon reader displays regular roboto.

I’m giving it a shot now, though. I do like that nice side bar that gives you fine control over how your library is displayed, with different profiles for different things.

The least annoying reader on Android I’ve found is moon reader pro. It feels a lot worse to me than maple reader on iOS though.

A lot of people seem to recommend KOReader (it might be because it can be installed on a lot of readers that don’t have Android though), and actually reading is fine, but browsing your library is awful. It’s completely free without anti features though (on fdroid if it isn’t on the play store).

Maintaining another account is maintaining another account.

It absolutely is meaningful friction, and it absolutely is a perfectly valid reason not to engage.
