I interact with people that way, and find this very pleasant : trying to guess what subject they will be happy to talk about is a fun game, makes people happy, and is interesting most of the time. And from my experience, most people end up doing the same thing with you, and offer you some time to talk.

Now as you wisely said, we are a lot of different people with a lot of different way, so you’re right defending that there’s no ‘superior’ way, but there definitely is a way where being a people pleaser is pleasant :D

I mean i get your point and i’m with you, but on surface, watching Doctor Who and wondering ‘Who is that Doctor’ seems like a win to me.

From what i can read on Wikipedia, it seems to be a forum. The bad part is its use in a lot of harassment/doxxing against users on other parts of the Internet. It is bad enough to be blocked by some internet providers.

Good luck, im sending you strength and courage for the times to come. As others may have said, you might want to look for communities and association, and people in general : solidarity can be crucial in hard times

I used the profile thingy to go from one OS to the other and I think there were no additional steps (or at least they were unsignificant enough so that I dont remember them).

It’s a bit clunky, i think there’s 2 directories to copy/paste, one for profile, one for cache (though 2nd one is probably optional), and i remember having to erase some manually when i choose wrong folder when copying. From Firefox about:profile page, you can open the folder it’s actually using as profile folder to avoid confusion.

I was very sceptical at first, but this article kinda convinced me. I think it still has some bad biases (it often only considers 1 chatgpt request in its comparisons, when in reality you quickly make dozens of them, it often says ‘how weird to try and save tiny amounts of energy’ when we do that already with lights when leaving rooms, water when brushing teeths, it focuses on energy (to train, cool and generate electricity) and not on logistics and hardware required), but overall two arguments got me :

• one chatgpt request seems to consume around 3Wh, which is relatively low
• even with daily billions of requests, chatbots seems to represent less than 5% of AI power consumption, which is the real problem and lies in the hand of corporates.

Still probably cant hurt to boycott that stuff, but it’d be more useful to use less social media, especially those with videos or pictures, and watch videos in 140p

Having read the entire post, i think there’s a misunderstanding :

• this post is about ChatGPT and LLM chatbots in general, not AI as a whole.
• This post claims to be 100% aligned with scientists and that AI as a whole is bad for the environment.
• What they claim is that chatbots are only 1-3% of AI use and yet benefit to 400 million people (rest is mostly business stuff and serves more entreprises or very specific needs), therefore they do not consume much by themselves (just like we could keep 1-3% of cars going and be just fine with environment)

Any vegetable i like fried in a pan, deglazed with any liquid (wine, broth, cream, water), some things to thicken the sauce (cheese, starch, flour), with a bit of any seasoning, and this goes on either pasta, rice or couscous. Very bad for the carbs part though, i admit.

Another option i recently found is kidney beans mashed with a fork, with some onions/garlic/green stuff in tiny pieces, maybe a bit of flour/starch and some seasoning (spices, soy sauce), fried in a layer of oil in a pan, makes very good patties that we really enjoy.

3 days of real time, 2 hours of real work.

1st day, the boss has a problem with a truck, sends his father to guide us to the place and give us the tool. The father never finds the tools, cannot get his son on the phone, tells us to come back next day.

2nd day : no one on site. I call the boss, he seems surprised i’m here, gives me the number of his father. His father tells me he has an appointment with a doctor, tells me to clean the place til he comes back. I do so, 2 hours later i have nothing left to do. I wait one more hour, he doesnt come back. The boss sends me a message to be there next day.

3d day : no one on site, no one answer the phone. I waited one hour and went off.

Never got any message nor explanations. Sometimes they just don’t care, and anyway if they cannot provide you with a stable schedule, dont worry too much about leaving quickly

1. Distros : as others said, Mint is a solid choice. I personally use ZorinOS because it’s very close to the Windows interface and I really enjoy it, i installed it on every computer in the house x). I saw Pop_OS recommended for gaming too.
2. Hard incompatibilities : as others said, some big games with kernel level anti cheat might not work (Fortnite, Apex Legends, Valorant, Rust, etc.). Along ProtonDB, a great site to keep track of that is https://areweanticheatyet.com/. Other than that, I ended up being able to run approximately anything, from old indies to modern big games without major problems, though it may involve tinkering.
3. Tinkering with linux : if you are used in googling issues and browsing a bit through old forums posts, in my experience you’re good to go. I found a solution to every of my problems but one : it’s caused by Nvidia drivers. As you asked in another comments, AMDs and Intel’s drivers are open source, and so it’s easier for linux devs to adapt to them. Nvidia are proprietary, though they are going half-open-source and there is an attempt at building an open source driver from scratch, but their basic drivers options may clash with linux sometimes (in my case, the driver wont let linux turn off the screen when i’m inactive for too long, so not that a big issue).
4. Windows compatibility : On 2 of the 3 computers i tried, having a windows 10 partition on the side is easy to setup and does not generate much trouble. My main computer is ZorinOS/Windows 11, and this one had more issues : each time i switch, i have to go in BIOS to set a setting that is made for Windows off, otherwise i can’t have multiple screens in linux. I also experienced some troubles which are probably linked to the partitioning process (i had to defrag data to create partitions) : if you can, i’d recommend making a clean multi partition drive, installing windows from scratch first, then installing Linux.
5. Good luck in your process ! I was a bit reluctant at first, but now i’m really glad i did it. If you have access to another device, maybe try to install linux there first, so you can try it out and go through the installation process a first time.

Absolutely no expertise guy, but here is a possible explanation : ferrous is a word use in common speaking, where it is useful to distinguish things based on practical properties. Being magnetic is one of those practical properties, and iron being the most common magnetic metal, it was designed as ‘ferrous’. Adding metals that contain no iron to the list makes it scientifically/technically incoherent but that does not matter much from a common sense practical point of view.

I’d say you could render something close in real time. I’m not entirely aware of all techniques used in this film, but seeing what we can render at 60fps in terms of games, I think you could find a way of achieving a Toy Story look at 24fps. You may need a lot of tweaking though, depending on what you use (i was thinking about EEVEE, the Blender ‘real-time’ engine, and I know there are a bunch of settings and workarounds to use to get good results, and i think they may tend to make the render not real-time (like 0.5s, 1s, 2s per frame, so quite fast but not real time)

You may want to beneficiate from little performance boost even though you mostly don’t need it and still need python’s advantages. Being interested in performance isnt always looking for the very best performance there is out of any language, it can also be using little tips to go a tiny bit faster when you can.

Are you sure they are aware of this? If yes, maybe they disagree but don’t have words or take action for some reason. Or maybe they know or think they know the man very well and trust him? Just hypothesis, i’m not really convinced.

But i’m even unable to conceive how someone that young would be attracted to someone that older, outside of any authority figure or idealisation kind of scheme. So I guess she must have a specific reason, and she’s not doing this out of the blue, and this reason, whatever it is, may make it difficult for her parents to convince her or force her out of the relation.

Both are available, do you have any preference ? PC/XBox/Both ? If you don’t have any, and if that’s okay with you, we can wait until some asks for either one or the other, and i’ll send you the one that remains.

Nevermind, someone asked for the XBox one. Hope PC is okay for you !
