Can confirm, in fact there is a reasonable probability that you won’t be able to setup the shitty official NVIDIA drivers and the new card will run slower than the old one :(

Your comment is a blessing, thank you for the significant effort <3

Unfortunately, many have already gone “smart” in some capacity - which for me means doing anything I have not expressly allowed it to do. A relatively harmless example is my monitor sometimes deciding it needs to do “OLED protect” - and I cannot stop it from doing that sometimes. At least the idea behind that behaviour is legit (preventing burn-ins) - but ignoring the user’s wishes absolutely not. A clanker that is my property will never get to tell me what it wants to do.

Enough is enough. If I ever buy a TV, I will personally tear out anything even remotely resembling an antenna (including destroying PCB antennas).

Actual science: these are arbitrary categories of materials based on their band gaps, so these names don’t really mean anything precise

Even YT has 128kb/s, and YouTube audio quality is the bare minimum for the majority of people not to complain

75kbit??? 💀 💀 💀

Well, I only have experience with alprazolam in small (under 1mg) doses, so that’s the reason it doesn’t sedate me as strongly.

I mean, that’s how I have been using it for the past 3 years, in fact I feel more sleepy after taking melatonin than after taking benzos - but that’s just probably me.

Sorry, I meant the whole idea is simple, but in reality capitalists exploit every single loophole to gain even more money, so there are laws against a lot of stuff - it would be that simple if people were trustworthy.

Well, in fact it’s not that complicated - shareholders literally own the company - and this ownership results in both the right to decide what happens to the company and receiving dividends, which are supposed to come from the company’s surplus funds. In reality it’s not that straightforward, but that’s the general idea. So if a company spends money, you can think of it as spending shareholders’ money allocated in the company’s assets.

Cookies are just files stored on your computer. You just need to forbid the site from saving anything - done (all major browsers support this in some form).

Def not true about the justice system, killing you does not do them any good, they just want good prosecution statistics

I mean, if somebody calls Linux an operating system, they definitely should not be working as an IT professional

Yeah, but then you can just share them with anyone. In this case, privacy always contradicts effectiveness, and that is why we need to fight the whole idea of age verification altogether.

I think it can - procedural generation consist of procedures, that is elements designed by humans, which are just connected into a bigger structure. Every single template, rule and atomic object (e.g. a single room in a generated house) is hand-designed, and as such no matter what comes out the elements and connections were considered by a real human. On the other hand, generative AI is almost always some sort of machine learning, that is an approximation of what a good structure of something should be, but it is only a very poor, randomised approximation. You have absolutely no guarantees nor constraints on what might pop out of the model - that is my main concern with genAI, though the whole outputted thing looks reasonable, upon closer inspection it has a lot of inconsistenties.

Meh, you are probably right, but I personally have been banned 3 times from Facebook and by using a VPN and private tabs I still have an active account.

This is so fucking stupid, you cannot stop VPNs, because things like ShadowSocks exist. When will they learn that the only way to stop VPNs is to disable the internet completely. As long as the internet exists, VPNs will too. Ask your friend Xi Jinping about that.

VPNs

It actually tastes much better than it looks (at least in Poland)
