I’ve been hearing Linux music for the past 9 years lol it’s incredible how much it’s improved as a desktop OS over that time.

That’s if it’s as high as 1%, I’d argue it might be 0.1% or less. It is one of the nerdiest things.

I think you’d be surprised. The average person has trouble remembering to check a device is plugged in when they’re wondering why it won’t turn on. People generally don’t know what “hosting” means, let alone “self-hosting”, it’s far nerdier than you give us all credit for.

How many people in your city know what self-hosting even is, though? Is it anywhere near hundreds or even tens of thousands? I’d be shocked if it was even 1000 in my city. I’m willing to bet every single person in this thread has technical skills that far exceed the average person.

MAGAts are typically older, so they have less technical knowledge, so they’re more likely to fall for AI slop and conspiracy theories.

I disagree, I have literally heard of people being laid off because managers think that AI can and will replace actual workers, I have literally seen it too. It’s already happening.

Definitely not, laws are only for the poors.

I think it’s because it’s the idea if you’re comfortable being rude to chatbots and you’re used to typing rude things to chatbots, it makes it much easier for it to accidentally slip out during real conversations too. Something like that, not really as much as it being about anthropomorphizing anything.

IIRC there was also a study or something done that said something to the effect of being rude to chatbots affects you outside of chatbots and carries into other parts of your work.

Has he actually changed his stance on piracy? I hadn’t see anything to indicate that but maybe I’m mistaken.

They took our comments and reviews, now they’re ruining subtitles, are delayed, etc. The arr stack is starting to be just as convenient if not more.

Lord Gaben said it best, piracy is a service problem, not a pricing problem (the people who couldn’t afford it weren’t going to buy it anyway).

Stremio is the “downloader” and the “streamer”, so it’s both. Plex and Jellyfin require you to download beforehand.

Yep same here, I already got a brand new credit card with a brand new number because my renewal got stuck in a postal strike lmao

I think you mean Plex got hacked AGAIN

lol

It is, yeah. It’s like 100% of the reason for me. I’m gonna buy an iPhone later this year most likely.

I mean, I literally linked you the incredible medical advancements that have been made possible from animal testing and research.

It’s not just about giving John Everyman a few more years of life. I don’t think you even looked at the page I linked, it’s about organ transplants, antibiotics, insulin, anaesthetics, blood transfusions, and so many other things that have nothing to do with people who “don’t value their life” and instead can affect anyone and everyone and can literally extend lives of millions of people world-wide by decades.

You’re arguing for something that is already in place, it already does have to be justified where there is almost no doubt it will produce the required data.

It works the other way too though, it doesn’t mean that we won’t learn anything that will help humans.

Generally, human lives are prioritized over animal lives.

Firemen rescue humans from burning buildings first, animals secondary. There’s a hierarchy, it works the same in medicine too.

Unfortunately, animal testing and research has given us some of the greatest medical advancements in history: https://hms.harvard.edu/research/animal-research/what-animal-research-has-given-us

Their networking cards are great too. They just can’t come up with any answer to Ryzen.

I don’t think going to school prevents you from transitioning into a management role, nor does it seem to have prevented you from obtaining a career in the industry.

I don’t think it’s necessarily fair to blame your degree for a lack of management positions, you could always transition into management like others have done. I don’t think those others got hired into management specifically because they didn’t have a degree, or because they were high school dropouts. It’s entirely possible they only got into their roles through nepotism, which would have nothing to do with a degree or a lack of a degree anyway.

With that said, yeah, the money being made in the trades by business owners… yeah, that would have been nice, but even then there’s no guarantees that everyone can start their own successful business and make well into 6 figures and beyond.

Hi there, now you have my curiosity.

Which degree was it, why do you regret getting it?
