If co-pilot remains active even if you don’t have an NPU, and it consumes GPU/CPU resources and can’t be disabled, and that results in say a 10% gaming performance downgrade compared to Linux (these are a lot of ifs), then I imagine desktop Linux would finally get a big bump in adoption, once all the ‘serious gamers’ start using it purely for performance benefits. We’ll see how this plays out.
They seem safe enough to pass the EU’s safety standards, which are much higher than the US. Also this blanket “quality issues” argument without specific evidence is terrible. If we’re going off of quality in recent history, American manufacturing is down the toilet in terms of quality - just look at Boeing.
Not me but a good friend of mine met a girl and lied about his job. He was already working a decent job as a floor salesman while applying to be a flight attendant which paid more money. He told her he already had the position he was applying for, which he never got and it kept snowballing until he could no longer come clean without major consequences. For 6 months, he had to make up a fake flight schedule, fake work-related anecdotes, etc., Needless to say when he eventually came clean she ended things, and I suppose he learned a very strange but valuable lesson. It was pretty funny to me at least.
Have you even looked at any of the examples in SA’s case?
Yes, thank you :) It’s just that after writing it down and reading it back to myself, I genuinely realized it wasn’t a big deal. Life is unfair, but paradoxically it’s also equally unfair to everyone, although it can seem that your life particularly sucks. Not to take away from the genuine tragedies some people are experiencing, but sometimes it seems just writing it down can help you resolve the magnitude of the issue to some degree, and make you grateful for the good things in your life. This whole thread has been great self-therapy. Much love to everyone here.

“Uncle Tom’s Cabin”. So far very powerful writing. Just finished reading “Tuesday’s with Morrie” which is fantastic.
A few years ago I downloaded a browser extension to stop showing me recommended videos, both on the homepage and on the side of videos. I can only watch what I’m subscribed to and what I search for - you’d think its a big sacrifice because you can’t discover as many videos, but in reality I’ve gained so much more of my time back and control over what I actually want to watch.
Also been using this for several years and can concur, simple, easy-to-use, never let me down.
MacOS with a tiling window manager for work, Win10 on PC for gaming and Linux on all servers. I would run Linux for work if Office, Adobe and esp. Outlook ran on it, MacOS with Yabai + SKHD is the closest I can get to a Linux experience while still being functional for work.
If there’s one thing I can wholeheartedly recommend learning in Linux, especially if you’re young is to start learning Vim. It’s such a good investment when you start to get good at it, look up “The Primagean” if you’re not already familiar with his videos/streams.
Relax, take it one step at a time but always be making progress. Don’t overwhelm yourself, trust me. You’ll only get discouraged.
Agree with this, sunk 3k hours into that game before i finally quit a couple years ago. It’s gotten progressively worse over time, what a shame.
Its crazy seeing how much engagement there is on posts, I really like lemmy, even before the reddit influx, so far so good.
JMP.chat is the correct answer, I set up a Canadian number for a friend to use for SMS + calls. Message me if you need help.
