Yeah that’s pretty much what I meant. Good at playing the game, not great at representing the people. Like most politicians.

Pelosi was a good politician. That doesn’t make her a good person. She fleeced millions from insider stock trading in her position of power.


Sluggish UI? I’ve never had issues with the UI being sluggish … Steam Chat always just works for me in the Steam client.


I set mine up with HAProxy for TLS offloading and ACME for the server cert. Restrict your access to just your country/region by GeoIP and you are pretty good to go.


If Gavin Newsom is shoved through as the Democrat choice this time, we’re fucking cooked. Which is why they’ll probably do it, because the DNC are a bunch of fucking paid off stooges.


Pretty sure this is a joke


The brain rot in this administration continues to spread.


Mint is based on Ubuntu LTS. The packages aren’t THAT out of date. Most people don’t give a shit if they’re running the bleeding edge of kernels or what version of mesa is installed. If it works with their hardware, they’re good.


That’s an interesting way of looking at things, but generally measurement standards are agreed upon. Regardless of whether they can change, that doesn’t negate their usefulness in measuring things now.


Yeah that’s the annoying thing. Generative AI is actually really useful…in SPECIFIC situations. Discovering new battery tech, new medicines, etc. are all good use cases because it’s basically a parrot and blender combined and most of these things are rehashes if existing technologies in new and novel ways.
It is not a fucking good solution for a search engine replacement to ask “Why do farts smell?”. It uses way too much energy for that and it hallucinates bullshit.


How is a physical measurement that is universally agreed upon “arbitrary”?


Until Plebbit fixes how god awful slow it is, I won’t be interested in it. Lemmy is decentralized enough for me.


India’s government is a corrupt shithole aiming to become a police state similar to how the US is headed. The solution is not to privatize nuclear. It’s to hold the government to task and make them fix their fuck ups.
Also, corporations do not “innovate”. They take government grant money to fund their pet research projects. If the government didn’t fund their research and development, we wouldn’t have advancement.


Congrats. You just burned down 4 trees in the rainforest for every article you had an LLM analyze.
LLMs can be incredibly useful, but everybody forgets how much of an environmental nightmare this shit is.


Women’s and Children’s pants sizes. It’s an 11 WHAT? THE FUCK DOES THIS NUMBER MEAN GODDAMMIT?
All pants sizes should be Waist circumference, Hip circumference, and (in the case of pants versus shorts) Length to ankle. Objective and not subjective measurements. Something I can put a measuring tape to and confirm. It’s not perfect, as everybody is different, but at least I’m not trying to dress my children and remember “A size 12 in this brand is a size 10 in this brand” bullshit.
I nearly foamed at the mouth ranting about how this shit drives me insane.


Yes it’ll show up in the Flatpak category.


My understanding is that Steam has nearly or completely removed the old 32 bit dependencies recently.
It’s not that he just denied treatment. He ordered his company to deny treatment FOR COVERED ITEMS according to the insurance plan. This caused people to not get life saving care, die, and no longer be a “burden” on their bottom line. That IS murder. Premeditated.
That’s like seeing someone hanging from a ledge of a cliff because they fell and, instead of helping, they stomped on their fingers so they plunged to their death at the bottom.
The CEO was responsible for more death than his alleged killer by a several tens of thousands fold ratio.
