It doesn’t matter how bullshit or not it was, it matters that people voted for it.

They’re referring to the literal campaign strategy / platform he ran on which includes such fascist rhetoric as deporting 20m immigrants (when there’s at most 13-15m by most estimates, every single one of which helps the economy and is not a burden in any way) and “it’s the last election you’ll need to vote in”, as just a sample. Oh and don’t forget “I’ll only be dictator for one day” as a bonus, a treat. That’s what people mean when they say democracy is dead.

If you don’t need to host but can run locally, GPT4ALL is nice, has several models to download and plug and play with different purposes and descriptions, and doesn’t require a GPU.

Huh, I’ve only heard business logic before.

Quarterly is very common. It’s absurd.

Undertale, Celeste, Katamari, Syonara Wild Hearts, Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid, Persona 4G, Persona 5R

Please buy it used.

It’s just about playing the character as the persons’ own gender identity. Most common, of course, being video game characters as opposite genders. So like, lady master chief or what if zelda was a man, etc. But I’ve seen an androgynous/enby kratos that was super well done! Gender-bent / gender-bending is just the term that has stuck for that.

It’s called gender-bending, at least in my local cosplay groups. It’s done frequently and usually turns out great because of the passion and care put into it. Go for it!

For ableton, you can run it in wine and it can work well enough to do things. It’s an OK experience at best and flat out doesn’t work at worst. Kiss your VST plugins goodbye with that though, gotta stick to the built ins which do all work when it’s working overall.

Otherwise, check out bitwig studio, made by ex ableton devs and natively runs in Linux. Still gonna be hit or miss on 3rd party plugins but the app is on par with ableton as an experience. Price in the same range too. Best short explainer is ableton meets logic in terms of usability.

It’s the Linux version of steam taking advantage of idle time to process shaders. It’s a critical part of making all those proton launched games working right. I wish it had better control for when to run it but it is what it is.

I pay an extra $30/mo on top of the $100/mo for comcast to not charge me extra when we shatter 1TB usage every single month (average 3.5-4TB usage in this home). They absolutely do have caps on home internet, always have, at least in my state. During the pandemic they relaxed the fees so going over didn’t cost but as soon as they could, they went right back to charging $10 per 50gb over 1TB usage with a max fee of $100. It’s bullshit but we don’t have a choice here, can’t even get satellite internet as an option because the complex doesn’t allow dish installation on the building.

Pretty easy steps; get app you are interested in. Deny it access to things it doesn’t need when asked. If the app proceeds to not work until you enable, delete. Otherwise, enjoy app without the unnecessary permissions.

Nah, we’re already mixed. Benefits of being in tech.

It sucks because the talent and skill on display over there is insane and incredible, they really work so hard to achieve never before things. But he has to speak and be the key man PR idiot and diminish those amazing accomplishments.

It’s hilarious because every single time he speaks about some unique aspect of starship that goes against conventional rocketry wisdom, like “we don’t need flame trenches. You get more efficiency on flat ground”, we just have to wait a year or two and all of a sudden they’re adding back the thing they tried to do without (see tower 2 flame trench going in as we speak).

Not my farm, not my pig. Gonna be attempting to steer my project requirements over towards the Linux side.

I have been off windows at home for almost 10 years now, I’m really dreading the day when our office computers have to be “upgraded” from 10.

Pray tell, how is the lock screen wallpaper not a wallpaper?

When you tap the share button on a photo in the photos app, there’s an option that appears called “use as wallpaper”. Guess what it brings up when you select that option? That’s right, it’s the page to customize the Lock Screen wallpaper first and foremost.
