I’d rather pay for search, than to be the product of a search engine. Self-hosting a decent index is much harder than it seems. Kagi aren’t ontologically evil in the same way as Google or Microsoft so I think it’s the best option.

CPUs don’t usually have their own integrated ROM, as far as I can tell the Core Ultra chips don’t. Are you talking about the integrated Neural Processing Unit that those chips have? That’s not hard-coded AI, it’s merely the cores with which to run it on. Which are also more efficient for other Machine Learning tasks that are actually beneficial. The issue there would still be what OS you choose to run on it.

But hey, at least kernel level anti cheating will finally arrive and CS2 will be playable again 🤣

¿Que? Are you suggesting that anti-cheat would be integrated into the microcode? That seems a little absurd. It also would no longer be kernel level but instead some form of hardware level.

“AI” already is built into chips? 🤔

Are you suggesting they’d have like, hard-coded AI or something?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was frustrated at someone disagreeing with a person for not liking HP. I think at that point it no longer counts as “separating the art from the artist”.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t consider either of these argumentive.

Maybe it’s because you aren’t considerate.

people are permitted to have differing opinions and likes and dislikes.

Oh, so that’s why you chose to argue with someone about their dislike, right bestie?

Did we culturally forget that digital art and photoshopping exist for a minute?

all of my bags have multiple, my wheelchair has some on the handles, i’ve basically hit hairtie saturation honestly

I mean, my issue was you deciding to comment “harry potter is great” in this thread. There’s a difference between separating the art from the artist, and defending it to folks who don’t like it.

I mean, if it’s not malice then it’s ignorance in my opinion.

While I do have fond memories of the books in the past, it’s hard not to feel gross when I see anything about them now. I just finished watching the Carmilla webseries and it has some HP references because the last season was released before JK went cuckoo and they were hard.

Also, this comic was released two days ago, for what it’s worth. Hard not to see that as tacit support, given they could have just as easily done any sort of witch.

   Well, he’s still blabbing away, but I couldn’t tell you what he’s talking about now—I checked out a while ago.
   I know Jim is retiring at the end of June, but he’s already checked out if you ask me.
   The kids are already checked out and in summer vacation mode.

you’re checked out

what other witchcraft media do you enjoy?

We definitely go hard.

TBF they’ve had KDE Neon for a lot longer.

Ah so it’s where you peg up a goon bag on a rotating clothes line and get a group all standing in a circle underneath. Spin the line and see who drinks.

Ah, that explains it. Don’t often see folks outside Australia know about it. Did he explain goon of fortune to you?
