Love it. The out of your way design philosophy is IMO a tangible improvement on every other browser I’ve tried, which is most. No AI commitment is also a win.

Hey US, is everybody embarrassed?

I hope everyone is really fucking embarrassed!

(Shout out to OG Blade movie)

Given the recent NASDAQ changes, looks like US pension funds will end up with the bag. What a scam.

Microslop can suck it.

Fair enough, but M3 Pro out of the gate isn’t awful. The glaring standout for me is 300GB/s RAM bandwidth, pitiful for something supposedly targeted at AI applications. 5090 does 1.7TB/s, and RAM bandwidth is the bottleneck for LLM inference. M3 (and M5) Pro is 150GB/s, but M5 Max gets 460 or 614, smoking RTX Spark.

We haven’t seen prices yet, if they were good they’d be shouting about it now. The phrase ‘wounded bull’ comes to mind, but hey, apple.

Also GTX Spark software support has apparently been… lackluster. Reasonable chance that’ll improve, but I wouldn’t bet the farm (especially if they let AI loose on the drivers).

Much of it can be done at the fuse level, but you’ll need to do your research.

If it’s got a physical SIM (perhaps a criterion) pull that for anonymity, do your research to make sure it won’t brick the car. eSIM and you’re in there pulling antennas and shit, more research.

A lot of infotainment centers can be replaced with third party stuff with good sound systems. Again, research. Honestly, backup cameras are pretty good, you can keep the rest. Physical buttons on the steering wheel for next song and volume are pretty great, as is a heads up speedometer.

Perhaps an old mercedes and put the difference into refurbishing? Older Prius?

Maybe an ebike ? Depending on where you are and what you get it can be pretty much sitting and pressing a button (perhaps a little hacking needed in some places).

TLDR: research, shit’s bad out there.

Angry.

I like most of the original Punk stuff, even Sex Pistols, fond of Dead Kennedys. RATM, German Industrial, second Midnight Oil.

One missed so far is KMFDM, lyrics like ‘Your Government Hates You,… Hate Your Government’ and ‘Those who would trade liberty for security, deserve neither and will lose both’ seem especially on point today.

right to your own picture

That’s pretty handy. Seems like that means you should therefore have the right for it not to be non-consensually sucked into the Meta AI training corpus (and you know it is) or sold to face recognition companies etc.

Just some evidence away from a massive class action lawsuit against Meta. Yes please, spank 'em hard.

To hire them back cheaper, later, while making line go up now, same as always.

AI is just today’s excuse, plus hype that crap for stupid investors and profit.

A trick I use when deciding between closely balanced possibilities is to flip a coin. If you immediately think to yourself I wanted the other side, switch. Job done.

That said, first, IMO hobby shmobby. Perhaps you actually want to do jerky but are caught up on definitions, but also why not both?

Do one hour of each, 4 tomato seeds and a tray of water (+ nutrients? idk) in the sun, see what happens. I know little about hydroponics but have been meaning to try that bottle method (Kratky Method) for mint. Just crack out a minimum viable product and refine later.

I occasionally do jerky, actually got an air fryer specifically because it did dehydrate and it works fine (more than 10C resolution would have been nice, but adjust time as needed), get some stacking wire trays to do more. Use what you have, make it stable at 60-70C, I’ve used an oven on low cracked open a tiny bit with a thermometer in the past, wasteful but works. To get started just do a baseline without marinade. Get a round or other lean cut, half freeze it (easier to slice), sharp knife, slice as thin as practical, don’t sweat the mistakes. Start dehydrating it. Come back in 4 hours and have a look (don’t keep checking too often, messes with temperature) and every hour after until you think it’s done. Eat. That’ll do for a first pass, refine.

TLDR: pick one or two and have a go, try not to overthink.

Back dooring subscription revenue for an OS you ‘own’.

If you feel the need to dumb it down, ‘statistical parrot’ works OK. I’m happy with the original.

Do not look at laser with remaining eye…

Honestly, something really good for the UN to be doing. Not gonna happen, but it could be great.

lazy like I am

Pretty sure he means that Steam sorts out the Linux compatibilities for you, while other options leave you mucking with alternatives, e.g. GOG doesn’t have a Linux storefront so if not steam, then Lutris etc. As you say non-Steam import is an option but not as lazy. Just Steam having better service…

Which brings us back to Steam providing services that others don’t. Assholes like Epic (just an exemplar) would rather spend money on lawyers and executives than developing good software, then wonder why they can’t compete.

Don’t forget chilling free speech and the sister program to put back doors in, or otherwise destroy, private communication, polly faves.

Valheim has a local server you can set up that has it work offline. Shame it’s not on gog, but it’s on Humble which I don’t believe has online checks like Steam, but I had it working with steam offline mode.

Used to be as people got older and their lenses lost flexibility they’d develop farsightedness (presbyopia) and need reading glasses, now it’s common to become shortsighted instead, due to screens. VR may help, or at least let you choose your own adventure.
