My mom is in the early stages and is DEPERATE to prove that she’s still functional. She’s also going through chemo for cancer which has fried her brain even worse. I can’t be mad at her, but I keep trying to take her technology and simplify what she insists on keeping but she can’t even handle an appletv anymore.

It’s really hard. I feel you bud, keep up the good fight. Best of luck with your dad.

Fucking hell, just wait until they start developing dementia. I have to do all 9 things sometimes in the same sentence.

he’s got harry potter money, takes roles for the fun of it now…

I daily drive LMDE with a 4070ti super, works perfect. I do use the proprietary drivers but I hardly ever have issues.

It’s great, well worth a try. Stable, functional and compatible, just how I like it.

Thats what LMDE is for, Linux Mint Debian Edition. Been my daily driver for years. Otherwise I use vanilla Debian for all my server and headless stuff.

They arrived when arcade machines started charging more than one quarter per play. They are there to make it easier to spend money, I mean once you bought them, why not spend them all?

I’m old though.

They should have never gone to them. Arcades should be something you visit with a pocket full of quarters.

100%. I try to use open source wherever possible. If it does have to be closed/proprietary, I will only use software I can own, no subscriptions; and the only if I can get them working in Linux (wine has come SO far).

That said, I do still have a windows partition but only for job related stuff.

So far I’m fairly impressed with it. I’ll stick to Debian and LMDE for my purposes, but the family computer got a new life just in time for the RAM and SSD garbage.

People need to become familiar with the paradox of tolerance.

OMG, I do this when a drop is about to spill, it’s reflex, Can’t help it. But I’m always terrified someone will see me being so weird.

Glad to know I’m not alone I guess.

What a glorious future AI is heralding.

unless, I suspect, like me, you have a thick foundation of rock-solid cynicism that the AI simply will never penetrate

Do we know each other or something :).

Honestly great comment, couldn’t agree more.

Quit reading at:

…AI platform where autonomous coding agents…

But your comment made me go back and look out of disbelief. How does a person get this far down a rabbit hole?

Same. I adore my wife, fall more in love with her every day we’re together. It’s not always easy, but things that are worth it aren’t. Marriage is the best decision I ever made.

I did get married a little later than some, just had turned 30 the month before we tied the knot. Maybe taking my time and finding the right one helped, not sure. Just knew it was her almost right away.

Oh come on now, the dems give everyone on their side a pass. Look at Al Franken, what he did was way worse than anything in the Epstein files and got off scott free.

Er, wait…that is what happened, right?

As was mine. But a joke based on a genuine phenomenon.

lol, dumbass.

Because whitewashing fascism is supporting it and I’m tired of giving people who are part of the problem grace.
