False. Get one with Linux pre installed (Dell developer edition, system 76, framework) and it just works as well.

Oh absolutely - we banned “casual” YouTube use at home 5 years ago and we don’t regret it one bit. Still use it when looking up a concrete video on a specific topic or when a web page directs me to a tutorial or something there, but don’t use it for regular “entertainment” (I’m bored, let’s hit YouTube).

Some people can’t seem to live without YouTube though.

I don’t see this maybe because my Netflix app is older (on a 2018-era Roku tv). But it is annoying as shit on my friends tv with chrome cast.

Pro tip. Ublock origin gets you that mostly ad-free experience you were hoping for. Donate the money you save from the YouTube premium sub to ublock origin instead.

I drove an Aztek once and it felt fast enough for regular city driving. Why anyone would _need_ a faster car is beyond me.

That’s harsh - the Aztek was not that bad …

> for some words, we use an. For example, an apple.

The rule is fairly simple as it was taught to me - if the word (apple) begins with a vowel sound, use “an” to avoid cacophony. Same way one uses “o” (means “or” in Spanish) but “u” if the next word begins with a vowel.

What matters is the sound though, not the character - so it’s not as trivial to algorithmize. Eg. A hammock, an hour.

I know it’s not European. Great job missing my point entirely.

Look for reports from the Iranian team. I bet those weren’t as widely publicized as the rosy positive ones.

The what thread, now? Got a link instead?

> compile factual information based on various search tools it uses. The workflow gets sources, fact checks them, filters them according to my needs, and gives me clean urls for source information to hand off to an editor for writing a short listing.

What’s preventing the editor from using one of your prompts/tooling and replacing you entirely?

There’s zero value in sharing ai-generated output unless your ai has access to something nobody else’s does on which to base things. If all it’s doing is web research you should share your prompt instead. That way people don’t have to deal with ai-written walls of text.

Iberia is an airline my dudes. (/s before someone comes correcting me about it)

Ew no, not with the Americans behaving the way they are now. The Atlantic is fine where it is thank you very much.

What do old people use then? And - does it mean that I’m not old as long as I keep using Linux? Cuz I’m not planning to stop any time soon hahah.

Dell XPS13 developer edition, comes preinstalled with Ubuntu. This one is 2023 but I’ve been running XPS13 dev edition since 2014 and have been pretty happy with them.

I’ve also seen/heard good things about frame.work for Linux.

> I'm 30 this year,

Heh fun to see I’ve literally been using Linux since before this person was born.

> Oh, and don't subject your car to constant short start-stop cycles (i.e. drives of less than half an hour)

So if my commute is only 20 minutes I shouldn’t own a car? :)

Wow defensive much? I was just curious to see if you’d found a non-Chinese phone and/or computer anywhere. Chill out man.

Curious where your entirely 100% not-made-in-china computer and/or smartphone come from. Taiwan perhaps?

Aren’t newer cars more reliable than older ones? Back in the day it was a feat to get a 200000 km car and these days it’s like not that big a deal.

I wouldn’t really know, I’ve only used car share for the past 10 years shrug

Spoiler: after all this work only 128 flags were encoded to some degree, 67 left out. Dunno that I’d call an encoding scheme that can only represent 66% of its target set (and even so, with self admitted limitations) successful in any way.

2030? I see they changed how one spells “Daikatana”.

“First time?” Buster Scruggs meme

lol if you think the menu and native toolbar eating 160px is bad, you didn’t live through the 90s/2000s hell of bonzi buddy, yahoo search bar, and others, I remember people peeking at the web through a 120px slit, hilarious

If a site doesn’t let me see it with my ad blocking enabled, I just go elsewhere.

Nice! Where is it? Thanks for sharing. (Also hopefully not in GitHub , it’s always down)

lol as a Canadian my insurance company recommends the maximum civil liability coverage (2 million) if one plans to drive in the US. Those lawsuit-happy Americans and their private health care systems haha.

That was not the question.

Dirty q tips? Eww :)
