Snap annoys the piss outta me because of the forced updates. That said, never ever had a snap package not work for me. Whereas installing some things from apt just doesn’t work for whatever reason.

Lmao, these are Canadian dollars, remember. Either way, it’s $300 cheaper at Costco than the price listed on HP.

Lol, I wish I could but that level of programming is beyond my abilities.

Hm, website indicates that it should work but that there may be no audio. Might be a no-go then :(

Exploitative schizoid druggo leaving promising company? That sounds like a win for Tesla.

I like your 404 pages

My reaction was probably a bit heavy handed as well. My apologies.

I was expanding on your point, you twat. But hey, just be a snarky cunt. I’m sure that’ll get you far.

Aren’t you just pleasant.

I’m on a phone using the main browser and have nothing set up where I’m at (DNS/etc) to block ads.

Sounds like a you problem.

All LLMs are based on neural networks. Furthermore, all neural networks need training, regardless of whether they’re an LLM or some other form of machine learning. If you want to ensure there’s no stolen material used in the neural net then you have to train it yourself with material that you have the copyright to.

Really? I only ever have trouble with non-Steam games. Make sure you’re setting the compatibility to Proton rather than the Linux Runtime since it often works better. I know if I try to play native Linux games I lose my cursor. Can I ask what hardware you’re using?

Another issue is that they’re civilians. You could bomb their facilities but bombing civilians, especially when they’re your own citizens, is a pretty bad look.

Yeah, kinda wondering why the cartels want her in office. Maybe she’s less good than she appears.

Also wondering why anyone would want to lead Mexico given that angering the cartels will get you cartel’d…

And yet for a plethora of regions it’s the only viable alternative to fossil fuels for reliable electricity.

I wouldn’t call it worse than renewables. It’s a sidegrade from coal burning. Where I’m from, solar is non-viable 6 months of the year. Wind is theoretically viable year-round but in reality it’s less than that due to cold snaps and the intermittent nature of wind. And there’s no way that wind power alone could provide enough power even when running at 100%. There are no viable rivers here for hydro either. Geothermal is nigh impossible here as well. So without a reliable back-up power source, everyone here would be experiencing brown outs on a fully renewable system. Many wouldn’t receive power at all due to a significant rural population and the challenges inherent to it (and forcing people into cities is not a viable option). So the only options are fossil fuels and nuclear. Given that we’re killing everything with the former, I would much prefer we give the latter a go.

Aside from flattening a city, what exactly would you do with nuclear technology? How do you think we could capture the energy from fission without boiling water?

Look, friend: as much as I like nuclear energy and decentralization of the powder grid, per home reactors could never, ever work. For the simple reason that the majority of us filthy apes are complete idiots. Furthermore, nuclear works currently because it has oversight by educated, trained professionals in a setting where oversight can be effective. Even if you had some sort of travelling nuclear engineer that would check up on your garage reactor, if anything ever went wrong with it then the response time would be too long to adequately deal with the situation.

The only way a distributed network of reactors could work is if it either had massive overhead or if literally everyone had training on the maintenance of a nuclear reactor. And this isn’t even mentioning the possibility of adverse weather events potentially damaging the reactor or how the waste would be dealt with.

Yet another nail in the coffin of rule of law.

DDG is basically a (supposedly) privacy-conscious front-end for Bing. Searxng is an aggregator. Kagi is the only one of those three that uses its own index. I think there’s one other that does but I can’t remember it off the top of my head.
