For ilicit dealings crypto absolutely superseeded previous payment methods. Not to mention the adoption of cryptocurrencies in Venezuela due to runaway inflation of the national currency.

Yes, crypto scams exists. But cryptocurrency is the closest we have to a decentralized currency that can be transfered around the world without anyone being able to dictate who you can send money to.

But in 2 years we will all live like kings with 256gb ram kits for 100€!

Why do you think its called the FEDiverse?!

“Tell me of your bloodline.”

AI is a useful tool for coding as long as it’s being used properly. The problem isn’t the tool, the problem is the companies who scraped the entire internet, trained LLM models, and then put them behind paywalls with no options to download the weights so that they could be self-hosted. Brazen, unaccountable profiteering off of the goodwill of many open source projects without giving anything back.

If LLMs were community-trained on available, open-source code with weights freely available for anyone to host there wouldn’t be nearly as much animosity against the tech itself. The enemy isn’t the tool, but the ones who built the tool at the expense of everyone and are hogging all the benefits.

Ouch, right in the profit margins.

You underestimate people obsessed with garbage trucks and sanitation.

Fine, tomorrow then. Just enough time to replace the insubordinate.

I bit the bullet when I got a 3D printer. 0 experience in any CAD or 3D modeling software. Took me a while to understand the basic concepts of a parametric CAD, but it has been well worth it.

Same, at this point I’m worried booting into windows will brick my bootloader.

Archlinux. The wiki and forums are comprehensive, occasional issues I create easy to google, surprisingly reliable. AUR makes it easy to install third-party software.

For the above mentioned reasons, I would recommend you go with one of the big 3: Debian, Fedora, or Arch. Most other distros are either derived from one of the 3 anyways, or are niche.

I thought you were going to link the CIA experiment where a dolphin was getting handjobs from a coked up woman.

Appealing or circumventing the 22nd is a bridge too far, and they know it.

Every bridge that has been crossed has been a “bridge too far” right until they were on the other side.

Long time linux user: The worse problem is they don’t even tell WHICH manual is relevant to the issue.

“How do I make my secondary drive auto-decrypt?” “RTFM”

Could have at least said “man crypttab 5” so that I don’t have to waste 3 hours just trying to find the starting point.

As with any change, it will always include some gains and some losses. Until you are at peace with these you won’t be able to make the change.

My first suggestion would be to find alternatives to these windows-only softwares and learn to use them while you’re still on windows. Play the shit out of the windows-exclusive games you play until you get bored of them.

The choice of linux distro doesn’t matter as long as you go with one of the big ones (Debian, Fedora, Arch linux). You will run into issues anyways, might as well go with a distro you will easily find google results for.

*shitty overmonetized slopgames, also known as AAA games are losing the “attention war”. The indie and AA scene is blooming.

Wrong, old printers are the only ones that were built to last and are easier to maintain.
