I really appreciate the answer and the detailed breakdown. I should've stated more clearly what particular part of that statement I found untrue: the "computers being cheap" part when you pary 3k for a decent, but not great,

And then it's - objectively! - not even true. That amounts to 3750 per computer. For a 4070, that's insanely expensive. You can get decent gaming pc with this card for less than a thrid of that, even in 2024. I mean I have to admi

You've hit the nail on the head. That's why I strongly preferred email and password login, backed by a keepass(xc) store to hold the data. Owned by me, backed up, impossible to take from me, the works. Sure, most of the time I hav

When I try to use it, I have to sign up for at least the smallest AI subscription for 5 bucks a month (as opposed to the 2 I currently pay for storage). But when I do that with my regular account, I get the error message that my Google Pay

Maybe you're working with the wrong people? It's uncommon among younger people, but I frequently hear craftsmen say it (who are over 50).

That actually also exists in German! Bärendienst, although it is not 100% the same as Verschlimmbesserung.

Man you're missing the mark. If I want to tell a cable that can do only USB 2 from one that can do 3 from one that is actually thunderbolt, the treedix is a godsend. So. Many. Devices. Come with some unknown usb cable. Can it only char

I first read that as 0! = 1, which, incidentally, is true.

I studied physics, did a PhD and postdoc, the whole science shebang. When I got into software development a few years ago, I was put into a well functioning pizza sized team that developed an internal app for another company. The crew was a

"I grew up in Europe" can literally be any one of over 40 different countries, and even more education systems. I am in Germany, and school starts at 8 in Berlin, 8:05 in Wiesbaden, 7:45 in some small cities in Baden-Württemberg..

The play store is pretty bad. About half the time I search for an app, BY NAME, without any way to confuse it with another app, the top result is a scam or copy cat, or adware. And always, without fail, they are paid-for ads instead of real

I have never seen an open source comic before, publishing the full res Krita files and all. Mad respect for that. I've donated a couple of bucks.

This sounds fantastic, but I'm utterly surprised that Google, of all companies, only releases this for macOS and iOS, but not Android.

Your username is butlerian jihad, and yet you advocate FOR the tell tale LLM writing style that the rest of the internet seems to loathe? So while I'm still on the fence about whether you're being meta-ironic or whatever, I am ver

Oh I absolutely loved those. In the early 90, when I was maybe 6 years old, I had this one, the left half at least: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kosmos-electronic-sy... It came with over 20 electronic schemat

Should've clarified: not much else from my collection of favorite games. And that's because of the limited GPU power of the M2 Air, not strictly because the game wouldn't start.

I've only recently gotten a MacBook after using Linux Pretty much exclusively for over twenty years. And I have to say I'm really surprised how much I like it. For gaming it's all right, but not great. Factorio works but not

parakeet is amazing, it has completely ousted whisper for me. On Linux, both handy.computer and epicenter Whispering (using parakeet of course) work incredibly well for set-and-forget STT. I use it constantly to write messages on Slack&#x2F

Anyone can do construction, blue collar jobs? That hasn't been my experience with contractors.

Parakeet doesn't require a GPU. I'm handily running it on my Ubuntu Linux laptop.

I've been using my own domain for mail like that for over fifteen years now, and it happened only once that I've had to explain "no I don't work at $drugstore" when giving my "drugstore@mydomain.tld". And

Well the inconvenience is kind of the point. I don't want another app on my phone to allow me to indulge. The point is that I have to walk, physically move, to the corner where the plug is, push the button and be allowed to procrastina

Thank you, I really appreciate this! Alas, none of it is made up - honestly. My wife and I kept finding ourselves in the garden on a beautiful day scrolling reddit and instagram for up to an hour, on several occasions. We kind of know we&#x

Yeah, thats just how it was when I completely blocked those services on my network. My hope is that this gentle nuding towards "come on, you've had 15 minutes, now just wait another 45, please?" is enough of a hurdle. I think

It seems you're already down voted, but I'd like to respond to this comment anyway. Also, I'll rephrase it slightly: "Drop the idea that drinking alcohol like shots or beer or whatever is somehow ignoble and worthy of sc
