Wow, they actually changed their livery. I liked the old one more, but it was getting kinda boring. And this one looks cool as well, so I’m here for it

It does feel like that yeah. But honestly it would probably still be pretty fast if the GPU driver support didn’t cease. Being on the integrated GPU has made the thing age another 10 years, that piece of shit was already horrendously slow when the Laptop was new

Looks like he’s just toying around with it in some project. Why would he take other’s words for it when he can just test it himself? Try it out, see what happens, draw conclusions.

There’s a lot of mindless hype and a lot of mindless hate around these tools. Makes sense to try these tools and form your own opinion

Haha. The video is a bit pessimistic tho, I know people who work at companies with Haskell running in production (who are happy with it). Personally I have used monads, and I’ve wished for their functionality in other languages like Java, but I couldn’t reasonably explain what they are.

Also, as someone who know just about enough German to understand some of what they’re saying, it’s always quite hard to follow these videos. My brain doesn’t understand it when it hears “Das war ein Befehl!” and the subtitles ramble on about something completely different

Jokes on you, I’m into that shit

It slowly started happening in the last few years. And then I got a burn-out. I haven’t really written code in months now. I don’t think it’d really stress me out, but honestly I just don’t really feel like it most of the time. I try to spend most of my time away from a screen

Idk, but here in the Netherlands I wonder why restaurants often have so little vegetables. I tend to easily reach the 200 grams of vegetables a day when cooking myself. I’m always surprised how little I get at a restaurant here.

Damn that’s very lucky. Every device with Nvidia hardware that I installed Linux on has at some point during updates or whatever gone to shit. However I must say that it has become way better in recent years. My Thinkpad was the worst because it was my first Linux device and it had an integrated Intel gpu and a dedicated Nvidia GPU and getting it to work was horror. In the end a friend of mine who was better at Linux just forced it to always use the Nvidia card because then at least stuff worked reliably ™.

But even then it pretty much always died during Ubuntu release updates. I’ve nuked my whole system once because the screen went black (due to GPU drivers presumably) during one and after an hour or so I forcefully turned off the laptop because I couldn’t do anything anymore. After restarting into a tty my laptop was in some sort of limbo between 2 Ubuntu versions and I basically just had to reinstall.

Ever since I made Linux (Arch btw) my main OS for gaming at the start of this year it has been quite stable though. I did switch to LTS kernels and after that everything has been pretty chill.

In terms of performance yeah. Though not every old device keeps working. You’re still vulnerable to driver support for newer kernels. My old Thinkpad no longer functions properly because the Nvidia drivers are not compatible with newer kernels. I can either have an unsafe machine that runs fine or an up-to-date machine that can barely open a web browser.

The person who wrote this must be absolutely insane. How I’d it a bad thing for the world that people are holding on to their devices? Less e-waste and people don’t spend impulsively. It’s also very logical: smartphones reached a plateau and people aren’t exactly swimming in money with the rising price of everything.

When you don’t care about the truth you don’t have put so much energy into maintaining quality

Two minute papers has really gone down the drain. Or my perspective changed. I used to love the channel, but it got increasingly clickbaity and shallow. Rather than explaining the contents of the papers the videos became hype talks that made it all sounds way more impressive and revolutionairy than it was.

Still grinding Hades 2. Just like the original Hades the game just keeps throwing new stuff at you, so you keep playing. One thing I do find weird tho is how quickly I managed to unlock the different weapons. And also that the initial staff weapon is by far my favorite, so every weapon unlock thereafter felt a bit underwhelming. I guess it makes sense that they provide you with the most all-round weapon first.

Rich man can’t be sad because poor people have it worse. What a dumb take. Roscoe went everywhere with Lewis and is very popular among his fans, why would he not share such a moment. If you don’t care because “other people have it worse” then read something else.

As another commenter already said, we’re also animals. Why would humans be the only beings who deserve empathy and love? A dog is no human, but they’re also capable of building a bond with humans and likewise the other way around. They recognize us, share in our emotions, and take part in out lives. Such a loss hurts all the same.

I’ve lost plenty of people in my life and that only makes me feel sympathy for his situation. Roscoe clearly means a lot to him. Dogs are social animals, they become members of families, they love people and animals, they experience emotions and pain. How can you be so heartless?

Damn do you have no empathy? How can you not understand how much a dog can mean to someone? A dog is not an inanimate object, it’s a living being with a personality and emotions.

As a programmer I’ve found it infinitely times more useful for troubleshooting and setting up things than for programming. When my Arch Linux nukes itself again I know I’ll use an LLM, when I find a random old device or game at the thrift store and want to get it to work I’ll use an LLM, etc. For programming I only use the IntelliJ line completion models since they’re smart enough to see patterns for the dumb busywork, but don’t try to outsmart me most of the time which would only cost more time.

Same. No wonder I’m burnt out. The human brain can only handle so many screens at the same time :/

Hmmm yeah. But most of it lives in an automatic cloud backup as well… Photos, important documents, game saves, programming projects. I’ve lost drives before and apart from one or two moments where I couldn’t find a very specific file I didn’t really miss anything. The only things that I really do need to backup at the moment are my music projects and the raw files from my photography
