Is there no electron wrapper around ChatGPT yet? Jeez we better hurry, imagine having to use your browser like… For pretty much everything else.

You know, the answer to captions like that is to 99.9%:
Yes*
*Under laboratory conditions and for a very specific use case / a whole lot of money, once.
The reality is that billions are poured into developing faster computers and change is happening gradually, because low-hanging fruits are gathered even before they are ripe.
Hot water an dish soap works miracles on all kinds of clogs btw.
I think overall they are not better or worse than other tech giants. They try to be the platform for blank and thus to push competitors out of the marked, or lock it down so they can’t enter. They try to extract as much money from their customers as they can, even if it makes the user experience worse. They push the boundaries of what the can legally do. They charge you, but you don’t own anything.
What really grinds my gears is how they try to force stuff on me that I don’t fucking want. I feel like they are completely different in that regard than for example Google. I use Google Maps because I want to. I don’t use Chrome because I don’t want to. It’s that easy. They don’t ask me to reconsider, they don’t make it super complicated to switch, nothing. I can disable any Google App and forget about it.
To stick with the Google comparison, I also feel like Google informs me better and gives me more control regarding my data. This feels much more hidden on convoluted in MS products in general. For example I had no idea Office is basically spyware before reading about it elsewhere. In Google-land, they seem much more upfront about what they use and what I can opt out from (or in to).
I know this won’t help you a whole lot, but I do.
I have to, for work - which is why I am happy whenever they do stuff right. That said, there is also a lot of schadenfreude whenever they think something along the lines of “let’s tell people we will screenshot everything”.
Whatever MS does, I win.
People try their hardest to make computers your friends. Don’t be afraid to talk to them 😊
You do need to authorize admin action on Windows and it causes severe security issues, because people do it without thinking all the time.
You can also configure Linux to have this behaviour, but for security reasons it works differently out of the box. Also, some programs, such as many terminal emulators, can cache you PW so you don’t have to enter it multiple times.
I use a U2F key for sudo and it’s just one touch. One touch you need to sit in front of my computer for.
I mean, a lot if people will have Nvidia hardware - which will limit your distro choices right from the start and if said green hardware is recent, well you’re fucked (for just a little while longer it seems).
I prefer Flatpaks, not only because I support the format, but also because of containerization and the ability to clean up an application completely.
I absolutely hate it when apps randomly place config files everywhere.
Is using btrfs an option? Offer transparent compression at FS level
I thought exactly the same about controlling a millilitre of water. You could straight up behead people on sight and leave basically no trace at all - just a suspiciously clean cut
For me it loads fine with uBlock, but they have started to implement some basic VPN-blocking apparently (or enabled whatever their CDN provider talked them into or whatever). A simple reconnect seems to do the trick with ProtonVPN however.
Is this AI generated trolling or is the person behind this just next level stupid?
Stupid fact checkers with their stupid facts disproving all my convenient lies
I love fish women. Way better than bash women.
KDE can display one taskbar on all displays? If so I would like to know how
Great games are cheaper than ever. If you buy into those only trying to extract as much money from you as possible, that’s on you
I encode everything with AV1 and Opus, although, as others have pointed out, there is the disadvantage that older (as in “not new”) devices won’t have hardware acceleration for those. I don’t care about that tho, because 1080p runs just fine on decent CPUs and I want to encode for the future, not yesteryear.
For AV1 I use 10bit, VFR, RF25. If you want, you can play around with the performance profile to trade file size for encoding speed.
For Opus I use 320 kbit/s fixed Bitrate and 7.1 downmix. Note that when dealing with audio and subtitles, you absolutely should include tracks of ‘unknown’ language! Otherwise they are just thrown away. And of course you should include every other language you care about. You can also choose to pass through Opus encoded tracks automatically.
I prefer MKV as container format, because from all I hear it’s flexible and robust. Pretty much everything else is set to default. I’d advise to safe your settings to a preset and to briefly verify encoded videos actually work and contain the desired tracks.
Technical question: If he would murder both candidates, could he still become president and pardon himself?
