Fair point. I wish all the AI companies would go belly up, but that is not realistic at this point

Um…Anthropic is still a bad company, just not as bad as the rest. Haha

Its totally normal. And its cool if you like to hug multiple Thinkpads at the same time 😆

Fair point. Do you know if they where using the open source driver for thr graphics card? Or Nvidia’s proprietary one? Because I’m on Fedora using the Nvidia driver and I dont notice that much of a fps drop. It is some, maybe 5-10%

Why does the 4070 super keep you from switching to Linux? I have a gaming PC with a 4070 and I dont really have issues. No more than I did with windows in general

I think you are missing the point of what people are upset about. Its not defending the porn industry (though sex work is work and should be seen as a legit job) its more about the age verification not being about protecting kids. Its about censorship and eroding frradom of speech

Yeah I wondered the same thing. That cloud act went into effect in 2018. Haven’t seen anyone try to change it in the last 6 years

I’m glad you posted this. You are 100% correct. Cheaper, but still quality firearm and a ton of ammo is the best route.

For what its worth, if anyone has any questions about firearms or how to get started, feel free to ask. I was in the Marines for 9 years and one of my jobs was as a rifle and pistol coach. I dont know everything, but I know somthings and I am still an avid shooter and gun owner.

I use StoryGraph. Because goodreads is owned by Amazon and I won’t use anything Amazon anymore. Even ditched my kindle and got a Kobo e reader

When did I ever say that? Why would you just assume that since I said google is tracking your location I just being using an iPhone and thibk that apple is better? Fuck apple and google they both suck. Dont use either of them.

You are still sharing it with google if you have an android phone lol

Good to know! Thanks!

If you want to know anything about photography feel free to hit me up. I’m a huge photography nerd lol

I use a Sony A6400. Its pretty nice, fairly small. Pick up a used body off eBay, and a Sigma 18-55mm lens and you are pretty set. Oh and get photo processing softwear for your computer. I use Darktable on Linux.

I’ve been GrapheneOS on my pixel7pro since march and I have no complaints. Everything works, and I have control over what apps have access too. The only thing I will say is that if you need the camera to take gr3at photos, its not nearly so good with grapheneOS. I pretty much always have a mirroless camera with me anyway so it dosent bother me. I just use the phone camera for quick snap shots

So what do you use now?

I use Proton VPN, and their mail and password service. It has all worked flawlessly so far

Get the pirate hats ready, we are sailing the high seas ☠️🏴‍☠️

Just pirated the whole movie series lol

Same here. Everyone I work with is pretty MAGA. They all suck
