Christmas is more of an industry than a holiday, thus all the products and goods made to market it.

We can keep going. Salsa is Latin ezme


My boss has mentioned AI once, and it was when I was asking for guidance on how to take over a twice annual presentation he used to run. He said I could just get the LLM to generate the presentation then edit it as needed.
I did not do that. I just made the damn thing myself because, by him saying that, I realized he had no fucking clue how to do any of this so I didn’t have to either.
Corporate has introduced an LLM we’re supposed to be able to use in lieu of asking an HR representative basic questions, like vacation policy and how to get resources for open enrollment. It… barely works. If you happen to use the magic words, it’ll lead you to a PDF of the policy you’re looking for. I just call or email someone in HR. It’s better to build rapport and awareness between home office and the satellite offices, anyway. Makes things smoother when there’s an actual issue to deal with and people help people they like, even just a little, faster.


Well I’m sure the snakes don’t call him a saint…


I’d sooner suspect it’s a way to attempt to get more Trump allied control over more media than a ploy to resist corporate monopoly, what with the cost of lawsuits at this scale.


I don’t think that outcome is at all likely in this climate


This is bizarre to me. There’s no outcome that won’t reduce competition in the market… how is the situation different if paramount buys them? Other than paramount is run by Trump sycophants


There’s A LOT of Christmas media that’s just “there’s someone who doesn’t want to be involved in Christmas and we must force them to be involved, because once they are, they will be saved and love Christmas, like the rest of us”
It’s fucking rough yo


Hey now that’s pretty rude, haven’t you considered that its very very hard being The One True Leftist?
Looks like spam shit


What a FASCINATING concept!


I thought that too, at least when I was trying all this on my Pi Zero 2 W but I think the 5 is x64 innit?
I take on projects on my weeks off, tho, so maybe I’ll set up a dual boot during my Q1 week off and take it from there.


That’s true and it makes sense.
But the frequency of issues requiring extra work is far higher with Linux than Windows, in my experience, and it’s often a much longer process to fix with Linux.
With Linux, I often run into issues that I’ll patiently tinker with for hours, but eventually run into a wall, resolve to address another day. And I’ll learn a lot about computers along the way! That’s fine and even fun when it’s my self-hosted recipe app (which apparently simply cannot run on a Raspberry Pi except for all the people who said they got it working on their machine yet their solutions don’t work on mine), but it’s far more frustrating when it’s an application for something more basic like music or video playback, word processing or spreadsheets or internet browsing.
Of course all the same kind of problems can occur on a Windows machine, but, at least in my life, it happens less than once a year as opposed to Linux where it seems to happen once per “new thing” I try to do. Some day I’ll do it. But right now, Windows 10 “just works” in a way that’s more valuable.


“Wanna learn about the threats to your livelihood posed by this upcoming court case? Pay us just $5 a month! Don’t worry, we’ll automatically increase that to $10 a month after three months. No action required.”


Hm I hadn’t considered that. I’m also using a small work laptop here.


Lmao tbf this is on a work computer where I don’t have that kind of control.
I still have 10 on the home PC and I get closer and closer to installing Linux on it every time I tinker with my raspberry pi. That said, I fear the same issues will come up. The second something doesn’t work right, I’m gonna have to turn to hunting down forum posts with issues similar to mine but slightly different and randomly applying fixes I don’t truly understand until something works. Not that this is all that dissimilar to when windows 10 breaks, but that happens far less often than it does with the Linux distros I’ve used.
Then comes the concern that I won’t be able to find drivers for the hardware I have, or if I upgrade hardware that it’ll be much harder to get drivers for newer stuff… I’d love to ditch Microsoft, but Linux, while much better than a decade ago, is still a shlep to use


The fucking calendar doesn’t show a whole month at once and instead a rolling 4 week selection of dates with the current week at the top. It’s fucking infuriating and while I can’t find a setting to switch to change that, I can change AM/PM to other custom abbreviations. No idea who that’s for but hey ho whatever Microsoft
Edit: I keep posting variations on this complaint hoping someone will eventually respond to the tune of “you’re a fucking moron, this is how you fix this” but it hasn’t happened yet, so that leads me to believe that it’s an actual fucking problem with the calendar module which blows my mind.


Lmao buddy you turned marketing buzz words into ontological argument come the fuck on
You might as well say Mr Clean is clearly a diety of some sort because of his undying commitment to purity
When rest in piece gets more attention than nurses, etc? What?
