Very nice

I mean yeah absolutely protest your bosses unethical behavior but don’t be surprised if they then kick you out. But that’s good, more media coverage for your stated goal.

They said the same when the crypto hype came along. If AI dies off there will be other trends in computing that require cutting edge silicon. AI may or may not continue surging but hardware will be needed no matter what. NVIDIA is selling shovels, not panning for gold.

The register is a tech magazine, so the DIY/3D printed angle is relevant here. It’s also relevant because it would, at least to some degree, allow someone to build it themselves in places where perhaps the legality of self determination is questionable. The Register is not a place where you’ll normally find unnecessary clickbait headlines.

So it’s not a problem with AI. It’s just a problem for some mayfly companies that try to profit from the latest trend?

My lukewarm take is that all this hate on AI is really just hating on big companies trying to squeeze money out of some new development. AI (or rather LLMs) are not the problem.

Shutup still works but I wouldn’t trust it to prevent all telemetry. I wouldn’t trust Microsoft not to have other telemetry that’s not part of their services that can be turned off.

Just my 2 cents: I dual boot Windows and Linux. I only start up Windows when I want to play a game, use Linux Mint for everything else. Some games run perfectly fine under Linux (I play a lot of Factorio for example. No Mans Sky I’ve had no issues etc.) but some are just a pain. For those I switch to Windows and then immediately switch back when I’m done playing.

It’s not ideal but this way Windows has next to no information about me at least. And as times goes on I’m seeing more and more games running just fine under Linux. Maybe one day I’ll be able to drop Windows completely.

Unlikely. It won’t run optimally but it shouldn’t be the cause of crashes or bugs. If you’re not sure you can run a ram test (https://memtest.org/)

We do this in Ruby all the time, we just prefer methods over variables, usually.

def authorized?
  current_user&.authorized?
end

Blasting is all fine and good but they should’ve slammed them really.

Might be an unpopular take but… maybe being good at high school math tests is not really such an important gift in the real world.

I rented for many years before I felt ready to buy. When I was younger I didn’t want to be tied to a mortgage, even if the bank would have given me one.

I was lucky enough to have a very reasonable landlord who always got things fixed and painted when needed and charged a very reasonable rent (and in turn I tried to be a good tenant and take good care of the property) One day he told me he would like to sell the house and I decided to buy it. Even gave me a very good deal compared to the maximum market value he could have gotten (which of course also saved us both money in agents etc.)

All that to say (and yes it is very anecdotal), good landlords exist and I was very happy with mine.

Was I a good processor?

No one ever mentions the MSX. Best of the 8 bit generation as far as I’m concerned, scrolling purists be damned.

Shareholders: you doubled your profit last year, so I expect you to do it again this year.

Or business decides all specs and design decisions that were made last quarter were actually garbage and yes we do want to be able to manually override every step of the carefully designed state machine. We’d like to be able to manually change all calculated sales data, but also the data needs to remain in a consistent state at all times. Oh and while you’re there, we decided the commission calculations will use a different system from now on. We expect it to be online by the end of the week, thanks.

Virtual desktops are superior to additional physical monitors. I’m fully prepared to die on this hill.

No one is mentioning Tux Racer? Blasphemy!

Just to second this. Feels like a pretty strong overreaction. Maybe you don’t agree with the moderator but their explanation seems very reasonable. They even agree with your stance, just that it’s not the right community for this post.

Also I’d say accusing lemmy.world in general of a pro-Israel bias is pretty far fetched. I see endless posts in support of the Palestinian’s plight every day (and rightly so of course.)

Maybe in enterprises settings what you say makes sense, but for the small to medium startups I usually work for, RoR is great. It’s super easy to prototype and switch lanes. If I had to do what I do in Java I’d go insane. As for Delphi…

The RoR “magic” being obtuse is extremely exaggerated most of the time and more meme than reality. If you think PHP is better, by which I guess you mean Laravel, how on earth is that less “magical”? React? Next? I’ll take Ruby any day.
