That’s where the hedonistic firearm owner keeps their weapon!

Gosh, Dude! Can you finally buy a holster instead of keeping it in your ass?! If you’re rich enough for a deadly firearm, you’re rich enough for something to carry it in!

Yeah, I think you’re looking for Monica at this point.

How exactly do you think stuff around you works? Machine learning is everywhere gobbling up massive swaths of data wherever possible. Insurances, work shift planning, goddamn Spotify. All are using ML and have for years. To think you can just stay away from those Models is ridiculous.

it’s a bunch of loose files, basically. If you wanted it actively hosted, you’d just need to put them into a web server, basically.

Accessibility is “no reason”?! I never called someone ableist before, but… gosh, you’re coming close.

The visually impaired will certainly agree that not helping them with a local AI model is a sacrifice worth being made for the purely moral stance of “no AI at all”.
/s obviously

How can any world government still uphold “Israel’s need to defend itself” at this point?

Hey valve, so, Uhr… Funny thing… I’m actually… Uh
… kinda dead

Well, if you’re stupid enough to tell valve about the death that is

So some stupid law isn’t going to stop someone who cannot have a baby at the point they’ve gotten pregnant? It’s almost like people don’t take such a step lightly and the act in itself weighs more heavily on people than the law ever could… but admitting that would defeat the whole point of those “pro-life” hypocrites, I guess…

The shelter diagnosed the liver thing, started a GoFundMe, treated the dog and then put it up for adoption instead of telling the grieving owner one wird about any of this. Instead of doing their fundraising, getting new owners and such, the previous owner said she would have happily paid for the procedure and taken her dog back home. That’s what you are missing. It’s really clearly written out in that article, so…

The content of the fucking article, mr. smughead.

You didn’t read the article and act smug nonetheless, my. Dude.

Well, that’s why raw or flash pasteurized milk is almost impossible to get into supermarkets here in Germany. The regulations are crazy, if it’s possible at all.

They have me by the wallpapers!

Glad I could help :)

Okay, there will be people disagreeing with me, but I can’t let a new user be misled by us nerds talking distros all day.

So, you want to choose a distro because you expect it to do things differently than your current one? Thing is: Ultimately, they (mostly) don’t differ that much, really. There are extremely few things one distro can do that you cannot do in any other distro. Yes, some files will be in different places, they might use special versions for some packages (which often can be overridden) or use older and more stable versions of stuff (Debian). Yet, in the end, they are all the same OS. They all use the same window managers, the same kernels, the same drivers (mostly), the same logic behind many things. Another distro only feels really different, when you know a lot about the ins and outs of Linux systems. If you don’t, the difference will often be that you have to type either “pacman” or “apt”, or either change /etc/program.conf or /etc/program.d/foo.conf.

Play with the distro you already have and like. You ain’t missing anything. Just don’t get the wrong idea that Distros are like windows: monolithic monsters that can’t be really changed. Like mint but want Gnome as window manager? Go for it. Dislike the way the standard terminal software does colors? Get another one. Don’t like how Program X does some GUI thing? There will almost always an alternative that just plugs into your system exactly as the preinstalled one did.

A distribution is basically just a pre-selection of packages that can be changed at will. Hell, you could in theory get pacman on Debian or Apt on Arch. I don’t know why you’d want to, but in theory you could.

Don’t waste your time reinstalling your machine. Play with the things you already have!

That’s what media tried to sell as “quiet quitting” here as well. They used the English term instead of the German one to make it appear as something new, cursing “gen Z” for not wanting to do overtime and such (which in reality is not a gen Z, but a Baby boomer thing here in Germany) which came out of fucking nowhere.

On the other side, someone who’s gotten into a “Stille Kündigung” mindset might not even quit. They’ll just withdraw to a point where the barely meet the minimum requirements for their job, become passive and inflexible. It’s usually seen as the ultimate consequence when employers disappoint someone too often and seen as something unrecoverable and to be avoided.

You should read up on the Non-Disney version of Peter Pan and why the kids never grew up before you agree to that.
