Those experts are clearly not fire fighters. A closed bedroom door can be the difference between having time to escape and having time to be flash fried.

Counterpoint: billionaires are proven liars and the scum of the earth so anything said during a debate is about as reliable as wet toilet paper.

I think I’m mostly ignorant here. I of course know that abuse on these platforms is always an issue but I didn’t know we were having any particularly bad instances of it today. Can you point me to a reference so I can get up to date?

I imagine the mistrust comes largely from people who have never used ssh keys for authentication.

A data center is a warehouse-size building that holds a sea of computer servers that run day and night, collecting, processing and storing data for the internet. Giant ones are needed to run A.I. models that teach computers to think like humans.

They absolutely do not. They do not think like humans. They do nothing of the sort, not even close. We need to crush this marketing narrative.

A stochastic parrot does not think like a human.

Multiplayer that isn’t ass.

You need some kind of filler if you want seams to disappear, like bondo. The filler will be ugly though so you’re going to need paint for sure.

Clever design can make seams less visible but the joints are always going to be there to some degree.

Or just live with the seams lol.

Fixing your warping/shrinking will make them less visible too.

I’ve been writing code as a primary hobby and then as a profession for 26 years. The boilerplate has never been the bulk of any of my work, and we’ve had excellent tooling to eliminate the actual boilerplate for decades.

The work has always been the specialized parts, and the fun part of software dev work is that so much of it is bespoke and creative and unique beyond the grasp of the stochastic parrots.

Don’t let it dissuade you. See my comment here on this topic: https://programming.dev/comment/23859190

One thing I adore about the souls games is how everyone has a unique and personal experience with bosses.

A boss that I got on my first try may take you a week of banging your head against it; but, that is no indication that I’m just better because two bosses later I will be banging my head against a different boss that you just breeze through.

Cherry picking and goalpost escalation all the way to the top.

It is not.

Plus excess protein is bad for you. Your body just has to work harder to filter anything you don’t use out.

I don’t understand this comment thread. I paired and updated my steam controller on bazzite in gaming mode without needing to use a second controller, keyboard, or mouse.

God damn it. I was really looking forward to the next game, and now I have to boycott them.

Wild ride. A whole bunch of crazy shit capped off by a three bullet point vision that… I kinda agree with. I don’t even know where to go from there.

I’d love sources on “got more people to quit than just about anything.” Do you just mean “move from cigarettes to vaping”?

Everything I’ve ever read has indicated to me that vaping is significantly more addictive than smoking because the nicotine levels are way, way, way higher. This also causes them to be worse for you than regular smoking because nicotine is a major carcinogen.

Yeah. Mostly. It might help to lend credibility to a stack of better evidence, but by itself it means nothing.
