Now this is gaming

Snap annoys the piss outta me because of the forced updates. That said, never ever had a snap package not work for me. Whereas installing some things from apt just doesn’t work for whatever reason.

Lmao, these are Canadian dollars, remember. Either way, it’s $300 cheaper at Costco than the price listed on HP.

Lol, I wish I could but that level of programming is beyond my abilities.

Hm, website indicates that it should work but that there may be no audio. Might be a no-go then :(

Maybe if it’s like doing the washing or sweeping the floor or something. For addicts it’s just confirmation that they shouldn’t try.

Being angry at the world.

Hyper bitchass comment

When I quit smoking I holed myself up in a dark room with provisions to last a week. It was hell but it worked.

Higher mortality rate generally means lower transmission since the infected don’t live long enough to pass it along. If it mutates to be less fatal then I’ll be more worried.

I wonder if there’s an overlap with COVID affected species. Is it possible for COVID to have made mammalian species more susceptible to illness?

This wouldn’t be much of an issue if they didn’t regularly abuse their admin/mod status to censor and silence people who dissent with their political beliefs and for example, post things critical of China, Russia, the USSR, socialism, …

So what you’re essentially saying is that these moderators are effectively propagandists/state actors for China, Russia, and so on. I left Reddit to get away from psychic attacks like that, so I’m perfectly happy to defed from the instance. Glad I have the option, too.

My reaction was probably a bit heavy handed as well. My apologies.

I was expanding on your point, you twat. But hey, just be a snarky cunt. I’m sure that’ll get you far.

Aren’t you just pleasant.

I’m on a phone using the main browser and have nothing set up where I’m at (DNS/etc) to block ads.

Sounds like a you problem.

All LLMs are based on neural networks. Furthermore, all neural networks need training, regardless of whether they’re an LLM or some other form of machine learning. If you want to ensure there’s no stolen material used in the neural net then you have to train it yourself with material that you have the copyright to.

Really? I only ever have trouble with non-Steam games. Make sure you’re setting the compatibility to Proton rather than the Linux Runtime since it often works better. I know if I try to play native Linux games I lose my cursor. Can I ask what hardware you’re using?

And yet for a plethora of regions it’s the only viable alternative to fossil fuels for reliable electricity.

I wouldn’t call it worse than renewables. It’s a sidegrade from coal burning. Where I’m from, solar is non-viable 6 months of the year. Wind is theoretically viable year-round but in reality it’s less than that due to cold snaps and the intermittent nature of wind. And there’s no way that wind power alone could provide enough power even when running at 100%. There are no viable rivers here for hydro either. Geothermal is nigh impossible here as well. So without a reliable back-up power source, everyone here would be experiencing brown outs on a fully renewable system. Many wouldn’t receive power at all due to a significant rural population and the challenges inherent to it (and forcing people into cities is not a viable option). So the only options are fossil fuels and nuclear. Given that we’re killing everything with the former, I would much prefer we give the latter a go.
