Gooooood point

What about after it releases? How will I know to keep not buying it?

No

I keep getting arguments from peoplee about this, even on Bluesky.

Apparently it’s too much to expect people to inconvenience themselves and not follow their favorite musicians or whatever.

If the vast majority of people can’t be assed to take the absolutely easiest step possible to fight (or avoid supporting) fascists/Nazis, then we really are fucked.

Same thing with how people could very, very easily choose just NOT to buy another Nazicar. Yet 90% if Americans still bought one last month as a year earlier. It’s just about the smallest sacrifice I can think of - just buying a DIFFERENT car that you might not like quite as much.

And I think the fact that we are where we are right now also confirms the problem.

They did?

If you have an nvididia GPU you aren’t using SteamOS.

I find neon pretty usable these days

I’m guessing the cheap laptop was running Windows? You didn’t mention, it sounds at first like you’re saying you were using Linux on it.

What ads were everywhere? Why did it “take 2 hours to get to the desktop” - you mean, that’s how long it took to install or something?

Holy shit what restaurant are you going to that charges C$185 for a meal

Yes, like any Linux running KDE. With Steam installed.

Lots and lots of others have laid off. Presumably some better companied have added jobs in the meantime.

Thats been my experience as well.

On SO it seems much more likely that the answers answering a different question have a negative score.

I never once actually asked a question there. Partly because most of the time, the question I was asking had always been asked.

However, I have found the correct answer to 100s of questions there. Usually through google/ddg/kagi searches.

This is interesting because a huge amount of AI “knowledge” comes from stack exchange.

Now I’ll go read the other comments and article to see if that’s already been mentioned :)

Best?

That dossn’t seem like “one path” if it’s almost the exact opposite of what they were saying.

A bunch of people are like that, too.

It’s like buying some expensive bottle of wine, thwn chugging half. And throwing the rest away.

Unless it was a new Harry Potter apparently.

Oh no?
