Energy costs money in China too, they still have coal plants and crazy energy cutback mandates every once in a while.

The truth of the matter is that you need the user interactions from the free model to train and that value cannot be understated and if you are playing catchup, then it’s a must. No one would use the Chinese model if it was a shit service.

This true for most people, but Calc is limiting for certain use cases.

It’s really sad that Elon did not know that we are female at conception.

I use a steel tea stainer, easy to clean with a metal scrubber or citric acid if it’s really bad.

Lex Friedman also had a recent podcast episode where his guest kept defending big pharma & insurance. It’s insane, his worst interview to date, though I knew for a longtime that he is a sellout.

Now give me half that performance for $150, without enforcing that whatever it’s called bar thing! (neither of these two things will happen)

Epic gave Celeste to me for free & oh boy it’s one of the best games I have ever played. Also got Ocmo on ios for free & it’s an incredible game.

I don’t know why is everyone so surprised, the dude is a hundred, retiring from politics, of course he will save his son. In his place as a parent I too would prioritize my son / family peace over my legacy.

The best games these days are almost all indie games, stuff about AAA & ray tracing etc etc is more of a nerd hobby fueled by the industry rather than entertainment.

Also there are many retro games that used to be AA & they are just as good today as they were 20 years ago. If you want good gameplay there are so many amazing games to play a lifetime is not enough to even scratch the surface.

If the nonstick coating is Teflon, then it should be more than dishwasher safe. (that’s what ours has)

I’m curious how difficult that would be.

New users shouldn’t be recommended to use Arch flavors.

foobar2000 is a counter example, but yeah the mobile space has none of those

Luckily duck is good enough-ish.

it’s embarrassing but for me it’s thinkfan. Instead I wrote my own solution in bash.

I don’t think it would be great for a pie hole on a gigabit connection. (if you have s slow connection then it’s good ofc)However there are use cases it’s good for. Print server, smb server, kitchen radio with Pyradio, retro gaming etc

Immutable distros like Silverblue or Bazzite are the only path I see that can work for normies. However flatpak itself has to mature more, theming anomalies need to be dealt with somehow for example.

Mint is only good to ease a technically inclined person into the linux world.

it’s hard to get a permanent teaching position in China, i’m sure shipping “qualified” teachers to teach the kids XJT won’t be very difficult. Not dystopian at all…

Napoleon was held in British custody.

You have to reboot yes, however only once. The step where you boot into your snapshot is redundant.
