Flashbacks of flipping around a 5¼" floppy disks that were actually floppy and manually spinning the cassette tape wheels while something is loading.

No, but you are attempting to critique it as if it was.

Being transgender is not an ideology, dude.

It feels counter productive when everyone relies on ffmpeg and there are no proprietary secrets left to protect. Just agree on an open standard that saves time and effort for all companies using it while getting tons of goodwill and positive cosmic vibes and maybe even revenue.

The big question is if anybody is buying them.

Not if you are rich enough you don’t. Most people still do because everybody needs something worthwhile. But you don’t strictly need to work when you have reached some arbitrary level of wealth and ownership.

The only way to make money without work is to be part of the owner class that lets others do all the work.

It’s the new “#first” to call everything AI. People that have nothing to contribute but need some attention.

If I was one to troll these idiots, I’d make a campaign on their nazi forums that a serif font is pandering and only a proper aryan gothic will do

One step forward and two steps un-forward.

Well, you can configure only manual updates with notifications but I’d prefer automatic updates except not on day zero. At least on Win 1X Pro, on Home I think not.

I have Linux everywhere except one computer that needs to run Windows. Can I configure it to delay updates by, say, two weeks?

That’s weird considering perplexity is the one that markets itself as a search engine and has been providing source links for everything since day one.

As opposed to the competition that has used everything they can scrape to train their models behind proprietary closed doors.

I think it is fair to assume that if you get electronics branded by a candy manufacturer, you will not get any sort of quality electronics.

Obviously they shouldn’t be a fire hazard but still.

It’s very useful for dog owners when you can’t give it a proper shower. Dry shampoo and then brush it out.

Pro tip; do it outside. It’s a mess to clean up indoors.

I think it sounds like something different. Lucid dreaming is being in a state between awake and asleep to stay in first person control with the brain in unrestrained creative mode, while this is about training the brain to make up desired interpretations after waking up from full sleep mode.

Oh this is interesting. I’ve recently come to terms with the amazing plasticity of the brain. So if the brain assembles a narrative only after the flood of random stimuli, it should be possible to train it to use certain baselines for what narratives to assemble.

Any neurologists and psychiatrists and other brain specialists in the house?

My understanding of space engineering is that getting rid of heat is a bigger problem. Makes me wonder how much of efficiency of Stirling engines are lost due to extra weight and complexity for heat exchangers and radiators.

If this post is intended as discussion material; No, not as long that I have my stationary computer that fills my gaming needs.

I think that’s the same game I queued up for like 90 mins at a computer fair to have a few minutes of very confused playtime and that was it.
