You can run R1 locally, it’s just fucking creepy, because it tries super hard to sound human

Platform from a whiny, fascist asshole for whiny, fascist assholes. Not that everyone on that platform is one, some might just have a high tolerance for bs

Maybe the even more important question: Why can you even opt out? Why is this not done on-device, without anything going anywhere to begin with?

I mean, I know the answer, you know the answer, everyone knows the answer. If this was truly privacy preserving, there would be no need to opt out.

Wait till you realise the size of SSD sectors

You can go for an Intel B580 and an AMD 7700 and have a decent gaming experience for well under 1000 $/€, even ignoring used parts. A Steam Deck is 420€.

It’s not like gaming is unavailable, but everything above low-end has a premium price tag at the moment. What people don’t seem to realise is that this low-end is still on paar with current gen consoles and games still look pretty good without spending 2k+ on a computer.

Imagine having a thing like that but with a touch screen. Like, a rectangular assistant you can always carry with you! Oh, wait…

There is no such thing as a feature that doesn’t need documentation. Anyone who thinks so is asking everyone else not to use it

… That’s because it comes with vanilla android, unless you buy the e/OS version or flash it yourself

Probably don’t want to play graphics heavy games on it. For everything else it’s pretty much like any other phone. Although of course it’s not quite as premium as flagship phones. Hardware wise, a Pixel 8 leaves it in the dust. But you can’t swap your battery or really anything on that one.

Oh, then the most heavy version of Garuda Linux is for you. I think it used to come with close to 2000

If Axel Springer didn’t own a significant share of the company, I would give them a shot

The GDPR is definitely neither wits end, nor applied reasonably under all circumstances. I have my doubts that these “cutbacks” will be the adequate reforms however.

Because companies give zero fucks. They will tell you they need tons of IT people, when in reality they want tons of underpaid programmers. They want stuff as fast and cheap as possible. What doesn’t cause immediate trouble is usually good enough. What can be patched up somehow is kept running, even when it only leads you further up the cliff you will fall off eventually.

Management is sometimes completely clueless. They rather hire twice as many people to keep some poorly developed app running, than to invest in a new, better developed app, that requires less maintenance and provides a better user experience. Zero risk tolerance and zero foresight.

It still generates money, you keep it running. Any means are fine.

You need to use as many different formats as possible, otherwise you look unprofessional

*yesterday

It’s because we are depressed nihilists who have given up on pretty much everything, running on gallows homour to a point where we are meming youth slang. Don’t worry, we’re fine haha… Ha…

In bigger projects, you tend to miss type safety really bad, really fast. Rust has it built in, Python can have it bolted on. That’s simply one of the many aspects to consider when choosing your programming language.

But don’t worry about it too much. If one thing’s for sure, it’s that you will regret that choice in any case.

I use discover for Flatpaks and yay for everything else. Works mostly, although for some reason Discover fails sometimes (very rarely) where flatpak update doesn’t
