Sitcom style fun punishment?
“You did something stupid, but took the responsible approach when you realized. You’re going to have to spend all Saturday afternoon with your Dad, shopping for some nice sterile, hypoallergenic piercings.”
I want to see the camera that will stop white-collar crime.
I ended up with two hubs. One sits on top of the desk mostly for transient devices, and one is taped to the bottom of the desk for semi-permanent devices. Then there’s only two cables to the machine.
Genshin Impact.
Yes it’s a crappy casino for horny teenage boys, but damn if they didn’t put a surprisingly decent game on the ground floor of said casino.
And the tendency to provide numerous m.2 slots.
Give me an x4 slot and I can slide a m.2 adaptor in, but if it goes the other way, it’s only by way of a janky hacky mess.
I’m surprised there isn’t more of a crowdsourced solution-- community maintained block/allow lists and pluggable tools.
Part of the reason filters suck right now is that they’re sold to turboprudes and people pushing compliance solutions that will placate litigious turboprudes. So you get blocking all of Wikipedia and .edu/.gov because three pages have an anatomical diagram of a breast. The kids are frustrated, normal parents have to keep unblocking legit stuff, and nobody wins.
If you could pick from easily managed lists sponsored by groups you personally trusted, with responsive appeals systems, people might be more willing to use them.
The ad-blocker ecosystem has a lot of precedent for how to work this stuff.
We need to reframe the discussion from “it’s for the children” to “it’s for lazy parents”.
People are keen to scapegoat parents, and here it’s the truth. They don’t want to use existing opt-in controls, or put the damn computer where they can keep an eye on Little Timmy while he uses it. Make the entirery of the legal system do it for you!
What problem does CSD solve? I’d think “some apps look and work differently” is a pretty bad tradeoff for “I want to cram custom stuff in the title bar which was more or less universally treated as owned-by-the-system for the first 35 years of GUIs at least?”
GTK/GNOME seem to be making themselves actively hostile towards customization, which seems a great way to lose enthusiasts.
It’s a remarkable entitlement.
Let’s say I’ve never dealt with your restaurant before. Why would I start my relationship with you by installing your lowest-bid spyware on my personal device? You have yet to even convince me I’ll ever want a Quesachalupa Wrap Crunch Bellgrande (the same as “taco, add tomatoes”, but $3.72 more) again.
Can I be a minor character gesturing rudely at the anthromorphic prophylactic and declaring “Arlong did nothing wrong”?
I think we should look to outside talent. The lettuce that outlasted Liz Truss is available and probably more personable despite several years of decomposition.
Void with X11 (fvwm3). The fussier games tend to be online live-service titles; every new release Genshin Impact does a new weird.
The Internet boom didn’t have the weird you’re-holding-it-wrong vibe too. Legit “It doesn’t help with my use case concerns” seem to all too often get answered with choruses of “but have you tried this week’s model? Have you spent enough time trying to play with it and tweak it to get something more like you want?” Don’t admit limits to the tech, just keep hitting the gacha.
I’ve had people say I’m not approaching AI in “good faith”. I say that you didn’t need “good faith” to see that Lotus 1-2-3 was more flexible and faster than tallying up inventory on paper, or that AltaVista was faster than browsing a card catalog.
I have to think that most people won’t want to do local training.
It’s like Gentoo Linux. Yeah, you can compile everything with the exact optimal set of options for your kit, but at huge inefficiency when most use cases might be mostly served by two or three pre built options.
If you’re just running pre-made models, plenty of them will run on a 6900XT or whatever.
I’d suspect the low “density” of context makes it prone to hallucinations. You need to load in 3000 lines to express what Python does in 3, so there’s a lot of chances to guess the next token wtong.
The other satellite players (Hughesnet, Viasat), the fixed 5G boxes (although places sufficiently rural to seriously consider dialup may not have 5G), probably some smaller boutique dialup ISPs.
So what I’m hearing is thst there’s high quality loudspeakers just waiting for someone else to use them?
Glorious Marshall, bid that I may use these loudspeakers to spread the principle of Juche as a zesty new way of escalating tensions with my homeowners association!
I ordered a large keyboard enclosure from JLCPCB’s 3D-printing division recently. The tarriffs were like $48 on top of $45 postage and a $80 actual-goods price.
When I fed the job into Craftcloud (probably not the cheapest but a quick way to read the market) trying to get a US-based supplier would have been like $800.
They can’t tarrif these industries back on shore. At least not in any sort of useful timescale.
But the most frustrating part is just the ever-changing aspect. If they said it was a specific amount eith a clear timetable, merchants could at least build prepayment and accurate prices into their checkout flows. Now there’s the risk that whatever amount you paid 2 weeks ago is wrong, and the couriers seem to be responsible for collection, who love to turn that into an excuse to add penalty fees and hold parcels hostage.
And the reanimated corpses of lawyers will rise if that squid looks too much like Minnie Mouse.
I’m amused that it was also worth individually weiging and pricing them. Couldn’t possibly sell a 14p banana for 13, eh?
