None of this is a genuine loss in value. The hype is just taking a breather before we see any real adjustments

Last year I gave my stepdad a refurbished Lenovo laptop with Cinnamon edition Mint. He has yet to ask for any help with it, so I'm hoping that means it is working flawlessly

It's my daily driver and honestly the main reason why I have a separate gaming computer seems to be owed to the Intel GPU just... Not yet having the drivers it would need

Honestly I'm not a programmer but I'm wondering if we could actually see the "vibe coding" become a legitimate process for organizations that can review it effectively

True, the advances we're seeing with recomps is at least something of a silver lining over all this bullshit we've had to put up with recently

Ahahaha...! 😭

That's been a symbol for Chaos Magick, which tends to have an anarchist bend long before Games Workshop appropriated it into the world building of "everything sucks and no one's a hero"

This has been a thorn in my side at least as far back as Windows 8, and the LLM craze has only thrown jet fuel on the damn fire

EDIT: I don't have to deal with kids that much but I've noticed that it's wrapped around to affecting older adults and that's maybe worse since they're the same generation as the politicians making decisions for all of us involving technology

Hahaha, Alaska is a poot!

So close, that is a constellation!

Privateers! They're only pirates when they do it all for themselves

They're critical of Marx precisely because it's that scary to face the truth of alienation. I grew up in a household run by idiot centrist boomers who still can't grasp this concept. They see the fact that I still struggle into my 40's as a moral failing while I have been floundering through over two decades of being used up and underpaid. I'm literally in tech right now, making effectively the same amount of money that I brought home sweating in crowded kitchens but it is somehow my fault for... Not asking strongly enough to get paid more?

I don't know, I guess what I'm trying to say is I feel for these kids because I definitely would have been primed to rely on chatbots for emotional support if I was born into their generation. This is a systemic problem that I fear no one will ever face in a meaningful way
