I’ve tried a lot of these veggie burgers and tbh at least where I’m from most of the time they kinda suck. I’ve had a few really really good ones but mostly they tasted mid.

Would that have even worked? I can’t imagine you’d be able to get anything better than PS2 graphics with just an extra CPU.

Interesting perspective, never really looked at it like that, I’ve always just interacted with the corporatized bullshit implementations of Agile.

It seems Agile really did have a kernel of worker self management in it but the original people behind it didn’t have the right ideological framework to realize that this is what they’re trying to achieve.

Agile is the anarchism of software development: sounds nice on a high level but basically no theoretical foundation behind it and thus in practice everybody makes it whatever the fuck they want it to be.

Strange, usually things just work there considering the limited hardware variety. Is it an older Mac? I’m typing this on an M2 macbook and it works perfectly.

Anyway try to dig into the config and check if you’re using hardware rendering: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Firefox_Hardware_acceleration

If it turns out you’re using software rendering try forcing hardware rendering on: https://jamcity.helpshift.com/hc/en/6-genies-and-gems/faq/5737-how-do-i-enable-hardware-acceleration-on-my-browser/

Sounds to me like some hardware issue, I’ve literally never experienced any of this in the last 5 years on Firefox. My guess is considering it works fine with other browsers the graphics drivers are a bit wonky, or maybe Firefox is falling back to software rendering for some reason. Are you using Linux or Windows?

Wym? Youtube works just fine for me with uBlock Origin. Very rarely there’s some wonkiness but nothing unbearable.

For what I see as a helpdesk guy, most problems that are encountered origin from Windows being Windows, not tech knowleadge of some person.

Yeah but things just work by default more often on Windows than on Linux. “Linux being Linux” is also the most common cause of Linux problems.

Linux usually does give you the tools to fix problems more easily than Windows but that’s where the tech savviness comes in.

Just bail out, it wasn’t meant to be. I tried a similar thing with family a few times and they always went back to Windows.

Linux is unfortunately not for people that aren’t at least a bit tech savvy. If you insist on them using Linux you’re gonna be on call to fix their shit all the time.

Not sure what you mean exactly. The Windows workstation machine could be accessed remotely from anywhere. I mean sure you’re gonna have to hook it up to a monitor to set it up but after that you shouldn’t have to access it directly, at least not often.

I don’t like VMs because I need to allocate memory upfront for it, and considering it’s a Windows VM and depending on the dev work you’re doing on it you might need to give it 10Gb+.

If it’s at all possible for OP I’d recommend getting a separate physical workstation and then just remoting into it with your Linux machine, if you use VSCode the process is pretty much seamless, you use VSCode from your Linux machine normally while all the work is being done on the remote machine.

I very much do not give a shit whether Trump is rehabilitated or not, he’s an existential danger to many groups of people, if somebody decides to put a bullet in his head I’m not gonna cry over it.

Trump was rude and lacked ｄｅｃｏｒｕｍ so he made some wealthy suburbanites uncomfortable, and that is truly the worst crime you can commit in the USA.

People like you are so fucking pathetic, you can’t for the life of you admit you were wrong so you do some bullshit decorum song and dance to appear like you have some abstract moral highground.

I use sonicare too it’s great but you don’t really need the top end models, the tech inside is the same as the lower-mid end models it’s just some marketing bullshit.

Chatgpt is just Cortana with better marketing. AI isn’t smart, it’s just algorithms producing a facsimile of language via pattern heatmaps. What was Cortana if not just an earlier version of the same thing?

Well no, not really IMO. Cortana as far as I know wasn’t based on LLMs as we know them today, it was a way older method of NLP. You’re right that on a high level it’s pretty similar but the underlying technology is qualitatively different IMO.

Yeah tbh if you paid for the cat toy more than $5 you’ve almost certainly wasted money. Mine gets bored of most toys after a few days except for a few banger toys he still uses, but those also cost like $5.

Not sure if that’s true for table tennis. Like yeah if you’re just barely starting out sure get the $10 paddle but pretty soon (maybe even within a month or two) you’re gonna want a better paddle if you want to be at all serious about it.

Electric toothbrushes. Don’t get the cheapest one either, get a mid range one from a good brand but the top end models of the good brands are just scams, they just look a bit nicer and have some shitty “AI powered” app you’ll never use.

Maybe spend your energy on something else, you’re giving her more mindspace than she is doing actual harm to the community.

Are you trans? If not then maybe shut the fuck up and listen when other trans people tell you what’s harming them and what’s not? Why do you think you even get a say in the matter?

And she’s probably making very very little off of HL as a whole.

She’s literally a billionaire what the fuck are you talking about.
