A lot of them learned the wrong lessons from bullying, or learned it from those who were in the intersection of the nerd-jock dichotomy. Those were usually the worst.

Even then, the main reason why XP also was very popular with many was the utter shitstain known as Windows ME. Some figured out how to set it up right and with what hardware, otherwise it was the worst Windows, even with XP’s own issues (concerns over obsolete-ing “perfectly fine” hardware, the UI was very divisive, stability problems, etc.).

If Hungary’s despot didn’t ruin the education, we would also have AH, or Artificial Humanity/Actually Hungarian.

Easy fix: OpenAI not getting any more chips until they haven’t found use for their current inventory.

Jordan B. Peterson is in the Epstein files?

Unfortunately, there’s a lot of people who think AI slop generators will bring us the age of post scarcity on the left. The only problem it can solve is the lack of endless continuations to Metropolis part II.

Windows often have a better API than Linux, but not always.

A lot of that memory is at best ECC-enabled, or HBM at worst, so it won’t be…

I’m thinking about making an EU petition on this RAM pricing chaos.

> has an AI slop summary

FOMO related to the people on the platform, FUD about other platforms, people thinking if they left would make Elon even more right wing, people being shamed into being apolitical thus leaving X would mean a political stance, etc.

I got my AMD RX580 graphics card failing on me. It started to crash so frequently I had to put back my GTX1050Ti

Apparently it no longer works, as many of them have the required connections to check them. When it worked, I told something like “worked on some stinker games for Steam, while got paid, the code wasn’t used due to the person couldn’t learn structs and classes”.

Because “straight porn” means “made for straight men porn”.

We also will need a GPU with the same openness. If only Mali wasn’t sold off to ARM.

Electron apps consume a lot of RAM and CPU clockcycles relative to native apps. Less annoying on a fast desktop PC, but moreso on a laptop, especially less powerful ones.

Lot of KDE apps are also on Windows, most famously Krita (art program that is on par with pqid proprietary offerings), but the KDE suite contains so many bangers like KATE (text editor faster than VSCode, with plugin support).

Tried it, still has the pitfalls of many Electron apps.

Yeah, web apps are like that, that’s why I’m dropping them (alongside with Electron apps) as soon as possible. Currently in the process of writing a DAP plugin for KATE, so I can have a nice GUI debugger on Linux without having to use VSlop Code.

Yeah, in college around 2012, they dropped the education of software optimization, claiming that the “cloud will make it obsolete”. Hell, they even demoed us a DAW concept, that in the future, was supposed to run in the cloud, but only if we enable very low-latency internet.
