What I’m referring to is the Baldur’s Gate 3 fiasco. I don’t know how things panned out, but people were turning away from it at the time. Admins were aware/involved as far as I know remember.

Wonder how long that will stand. Also hasn’t 1337 been deemed unsafe, or is it back on good terms?

I’m actually sad that the state of AI deserves the hate it gets. Neural networks are so sick, just going through the example of detecting a diagonal on a 2x2 grid was like magic to me. And they made me second guess simulation theory for quite a while lmao

Tangentially, blockchain was a similar phenomenon for me. Or at least trust networks. One idea was to just throw away Certificate Authorities. Basically federate all the things, and this was before we knew about the fediverse. It gets all the hate because of crypto, but it’s cool tech. The CA thing would probably lead to a bad place too, though.

Lmao wait what? 🎵It’s no surprise to me, I am my own worst enemy🎵

This is literally the last thing I expected the thread to lead to. After last, even. I love it lmao

It’s gotta have a massive battery unless it’s running AAA games for like 15 minutes…

Screw the running water and antibiotics. I don’t need no machinery or amenities, give me cheese!

Computers are cool though

This is a great move! Facilitating a direct conversation between corporation and customer is great for all!

I went from Arch to NixOS and I’ve been loving it. I also had all the time on the world to dive in with several machines to fall back to.

There are a lot of layers to wade through especially when you need a specific tool like your UE5 case. As others are saying, there are ways to make everything work, nix or non-nix, it’s just more to work through after getting the bases covered.

Anecdotally, I had little trouble getting set up on my MSI laptop with an RTX2070, Primus and all. That was after learning the ropes on a Ryzen IdeaPad.

Rambling aside, I would definitely make sure to start in a non-mission-critical way, but do jump right in if you’re comfortable. Maybe if you can stomach the Asus a bit longer, or get the Framework set up and play around with the Asus. And ask plenty of questions! I know I’m not alone in jumping in on nix questions any way I can :)

Isn’t this the/almost the last one, or was that a fever dream I had?

To me that sounds an awful lot like TikTok being closer to good old American media than some Chinese psyop.

I’m not sure if you mean gearing yourself up for learning or inspiring others to learn, but my answer might be the same for both.

Analogies. They’re primarily how I learn and understand things, as well as how I try to convey things to others. Being able to connect some dots to what you already know, even if they’re vastly different ideas, really helps (me) solidify new information and find a driving force to uncover more.

It could just be my wiring, but I think a lot of how we understand the world is in the terms of our previous understanding. There’s a real possibility of misguided bias though, like knowing all about hammers so everything reminds you of nails.

I, for one, only want domestic adversaries abusing my personal information. Actual rocks and fence posts are smarter than this.

If you like obsidian, synching works well to at least selfhost your data.

Data in memory will be offloaded to swap space. I doubt we’d notice any fluctuations since we’re part of the simulation, but externally it could slow to a crawl and basically be useless. They might shut it down, hopefully just to refactor. But again we probably wouldn’t notice any downtime, even if it’s permanent.

I have also been searching for a microblogging instance that doesn’t have so many random blocks. It seems most instances block more liberally than even the more closed off Lemmy instances. Due to the sheer size of mastodon and number of other services, it kind of makes sense. I’m definitely getting paralysis-by-analysis trying to choose, though. It might help to consider newer forks like iceshrimp and sharkey, too, even just for their functionality. Or maybe that will make choosing harder? Lol *you already mentioned forks, my mistake!

But still, like I said, I haven’t landed on anything in particular. It just seems more segmented, whereas with Lemmy, the biggest instances have pretty much identical front pages. I fear missing out on something too much…

Sorry if I’m kind of rambling and not really any help. Your post just reflected my experience of trying to find something. Hopefully we’ll get there!

Naughties is British/Australian for aughts or '00-'09. And then I think boomer refers to “boomer shooter”? Or just the fact that zoomers call (older) millennials boomers.

My first reaction was also to make fun, but it kinda seems neat and it’s different, which I welcome. Really hope there’s plans to support one strip across monitors cause that would be kind of dope to look at.

Edit: also I’ve had a pretty easy time with a 2070 running Wayland once the drivers and wm are right. I did manage to mess up my old nixos generations trying to get started and changing things around lmao. Landed on hyprland, and it’s smooth.
