Love this.

The more I’m hearing about the Pebble Time 2, the more I’m liking it and looking forward to my delivery.

But fuck the 30 day warranty. Stuff sold in the UK is usually 6 years of cover (albeit only 5 for Scotland). 30 days is actually pathetic.

Because they’re a lot less capable than these companies are telling us they are.

Don’t get me wrong, you can frequently get some excellent results with them… but you can also get some really shit ones.

So not only does the bulk of this work require someone to do all the prompts, they also need to thoroughly check the work afterwards, meaning you’re not really gaining much, if anything at all.

Sooner or later, the venture capital propping up AI will realise that these enormous savings from laying people off en-masse isn’t going to materialise, and they’ll want their money back. The market correction will be huge.

Good. Honestly it’s staggering they’ve supported it for this long. It’s hard to envisage such an old system browsing the web using Firefox, the modern web is so bloated that any 32-bit system will seriously struggle.

It’s much better to have that developer/testing effort spent elsewhere. Mozilla doesn’t exactly have the infinite resources that Google has.

If you have a problem with it, tell us why.

Not surprised a user from a tankie instance is angry about a western country imposing rules on a domestic company for reasons of national security, but is completely fine with China allowing barely any western countries in their market at all and, when they are, enforcing that they must be run by Chinese and have a close relationship with the government.

It’s bad when the west takes an inch, but it’s good when China takes a mile.

I get the frustration, but it does actually cost money to make content, especially high effort content like this.

Add on top of that the fact that the people involved need to be able to eat, have a home, provide for their families, have a life.

People would complain if they were sponsored by some shitty VPN provider or the like, and also complain about them trying to sell merch. I certainly wouldn’t work for free, so I don’t see why they should have to.

It’s not really that hard to do a couple of key presses to skip ahead, either. It’s what I do.

For a while, but only people that closely follow Linux news would know about it.

I didn’t say they have to like it, that would be silly.

I’m criticising them for making an incorrect statement, being corrected on it, then acting extremely proud of being ignorant of the facts, and committing to not informing themselves.

Imagine being this proud of ignorance. I can’t wrap my head around it.

The X1 Elite never lived up to its geekbench scores, and the drivers are absolute dogshit.

The X2 Elite wont match Apple or AMD in real world scenarios either, I’d wager.

This feels more like politics news than technology news. Sure it’s done over social media/messaging apps, but so are plenty of things that I wouldn’t really call technology news.

I’m somewhat surprised that boys are at a much greater risk of online sexual exploitation than girls, though.

Most likely your motherboard. Asus and ASRock (they are related companies) have been fucking up recently, so if you use one of them it’s likely that.

Can’t believe I’ve lived to see Cloudflare be the good guys

There is a difference between telling your computer to delete something and the computer complying, and doing a windows update only to find it’s corrupted your data or straight up killed your disk.

I’m not going to get angry when I tell my PC to delete a file and it actually does it.

I have an extreme dislike for OpenAI, Altman, and people like him, but the reasoning behind this article is just stuff some guy has pulled from his backside. There’s no facts here, it’s just “I believe XYX” with nothing to back it up.

We don’t need to make up nonsense about the LLM bubble. There’s plenty of valid enough criticisms as is.

By circulating a dumb figure like this, all you’re doing is granting OpenAI the power to come out and say “actually, it only uses X amount of power. We’re so great!”, where X is a figure that on its own would seem bad, but compared to this inflated figure sounds great. Don’t hand these shitty companies a marketing win.

What are you talking about?

Debian is stable.

Spiced roasted meats, pasties and pies with spicy meat fillings, probably a bunch of seafood stuff, you could probably make blackcurrant in a salsa work depending on what you’re pairing it with. Beans are an obvious one too.

And tbh, there’s loads of great British food. Roasted meats, soups, casseroles, pastries, deserts, etc. That meme needs to die. It’s about as accurate as France always surrenders. They’re both WW2 era stereotypes that don’t make sense outside of that time period. It’s especially hilarious seeing it regurgitated by people from a country who eat “cheese” sprayed from a can.

It works well, so long as you don’t mind your DE being a bit behind the latest version. With how much Plasma and Gnome have been improving in the past couple of years, that may matter a lot.

To be honest, I think it makes more sense than it used to. You can have an extremely stable base, and if you want regularly updated user apps you can utilise Flatpaks.

Android is far less open than it has ever been.
