I wonder if they can sense my unease at that level of surveillance

BasicallyHomeless did a recent YouTube video on this.

The biggest giveaway the kernel level anti cheat is stupid is that Easy Anti-Cheat works on Linux without kernel level access.

Here here!

I did say in my experience, whereas you seem to be speaking in absolutes.

Either way I disagree with you. I think we have differing opinions of what good actually is, and gnome just isn't good anymore to me. Best of luck to you though.

When was the last time you used KDE? Cause this time around that hasn't been my experience at all, it's gnome that's currently really disjointed with random hamburger menus and whitespace everywhere.

Current KDE feels like the most well put together DE I've ever used, and its really efficient once I get my custom keybinds in there.

As long as initially I can get shipped off this rock with free delivery it doesn't sound so bad.

Nah, sell Boeing to Bezos.

At this point the benchmarks barely matter at all. It's entirely possible to train for a high benchmark score and reduce the overall quality of the model in the process.

Imo use the model that makes the most sense when you ask it stuff, and personally I'd go for the one with the least censorship (which imo isn't AliBaba Qwen anything)

I sincerely hope life starts treating you better than it clearly has.

I also hope you see the irony of your ways.

I'm not sure if that betrays more about your opinion of women than you may have been aware.

Ah yes your experience of a 2008 BBC news article from Copenhagen outweighs my lived, witnessed reality.

How could I be so clueless?

I don't read the daily mail. Try again. Maybe be less partisan.

Indeed, a myth. One "disproven" by BBC news articles from 2008 when I have seen contrary evidence with my own eyes.

Believe it or not the world has come on a long way in 16 years.

It is banned in schools. As I said in another comment, that outlaws it for the vast majority of players at the place they used to play it.

Believe it or not adults playing conkers or people playing conkers outside of schools isn't a common pass time.

It is pretty much RNG, though you can massively nerf a conkers structural integrity by making the hole through the middle poorly, so there are some techniques. People also used to use thicker shoelaces like in vans, which I think made the centre more solid. I've never run an experiment to verify the difference that might make.

Well it is banned in schools. I'm not sure how many adults you believe actually play conkers, beyond a few nutters (sic), but its mainly been banned for the people that used to actually enjoy it, kids.

I do wonder if by banning it in schools it will get less and less common till it disappears. I suppose you predictably think that's nonsense.

But pedantry aside, its banned for the people who used to play it most and enjoy it, at the place they did just that.

They said he had balls of steel to try that one

For the yanks and elsewhere, yes conkers is well known in Britain. You basically put a chestnut (but its a conker) on a string by making a hole in the middle. Take turns swinging them on the string, whoever's breaks is the loser.

It used to be great fun till it was banned/requires eye protection now. There's an opportunity there, someone could make a perfectly safe conker app. I'm sure that would adequately replace it. /s

Yup, as someone in this position HR want nothing to do with me.

My only options have been to make companies or freelance.

I do think the world needs more "generalists" though as we're often the only ones placed to even half understand, combine and fully utilise different specialists.

I think he's massively underestimated the ingenuity of developers who wish to not have work undone on the whims of a tyrant.

If there's one thing we don't like it's FUD on the future of something we want to have completed/easily maintainable.

Flawless, it's really easy to wrap your head around (especially if you grok Go).

I would recommend spinning up the most basic site from scratch to give it a try, takes minutes tops and its got a built in dev server to see your site.

It pretty much all rapidly clicked into place from there. The idea of adding content as markdown is so easy and appealing, and the flow is so logical. The build times make me smile. Everything feels so rapid and under my control.
