This is the real issue IMO, framework mainly appeals to the environmental crowd and economical crowd. Problem is buying used corporate workstations is way better for both these markets + it doesnt even seem like the motherboard upgrades are much cheaper than just buying a new used laptop. Maybe with terrible ssd prices the calculus changes, but you still need to upgrade ram on a new board anyway. Hardware just doesn't improve on the 2-4 year timescales to justify this anymore.

That's interesting since you were already using slack, did you just switch due to network effect or are there additional features in discord?

Can it do drop in/drop out VoIP rooms like mumble?

Discord was originally a replacement for teamspeak/mumble and it's how most people I actually know still use it. It was "nice" because you didn't need to set up your own server. Using it as a replacement for irc came later. Image support in chats is nice, but I really only use it for the voip chat rooms.

This doesn't make sense because the reverse would be true, and it's not. If they were so different an explosion in server demand wouldn't strongly affect consumer products.

AI such as Deep Blue was able to outperform humans at a specific tasks because humans wrote the algorithms.

This isn't true of modern game-playing AI like Alpha-Go or recent Stockfish versions. These learn by playing against themselves over billions of games, and the strategies they develop aren't guided by human input. These kinds of results aren't achieved by LLM bots because there's no equivalent to "winning the game" in a chatbot conversation that can easily be rewarded automatically.

Irfanview is honestly a huge loss, I'm honestly shocked I haven't been able to find something even close to comparable.

The Dynamicland website reminds me of the worst of the 00's, it really turned me off to the whole project

Sourcehut is really the only step between just using an ssh server and something like forgejo that I know of.

Never had as bad an experience with Linux as on a Macbook, and that includes Dell laptops in the early '10s. Sound doesn't work, sleep doesn't work either. Beyond that the keyboard is screwed up and double types all the time, which is totally unreasonable on a laptop ~5 years old.

Especially when most games that've come out this year run like shit, and a new graphics card is nearly a rent payment
