The environmental impact problem with AI is the land, water, energy use, and pollution caused by the data centers and power plants being built for it, not the electricity cost of sending a prompt to a chatbot. So this isn’t really an unpopular opinion, it’s a misunderstanding of reality.

I’ve never had more audio issues than when my work laptop upgraded itself to Windows 11, it’s insanity

TPMs would be cooler if they weren’t proprietary. I understand the benefits of having a place to store sensitive things in a way that they never have to touch disk, but having those chips be controlled in a proprietary fashion by some tech megacorp is not ideal.

But you know what I mean right?

It’s been working so far

Awe that’s cute, trying to apply consistency across English words

They’re probably banking on the fact that devs love making games, and when a bunch get laid off, some of them will inevitably go start some new studio that Microsoft can swoop in and buy again in 5-10 years, wring another game out of, then toss aside like trash again.

Most Taco Bell items are surprisingly healthy/balanced too though. Like, other than some of the crazier novelty items, pretty much everything on the menu is just protein and veggies wrapped in a tortilla. The bean and rice burrito has some of the best macros of any fast food item, and as a bonus, it’s still relatively cheap, especially compared to Chik fil a.

But not too busy to show up in the token girl boss smackdown scene

Taking it down properly makes it easier* for them to put it back up though

They make bigger ones designed for harder metals, and they have the advantage of being much quieter than a circular saw or an angle grinder

This makes me think of Love Island. Season 7 is my favorite so far, because it’s by far the most wholesome season, and it’s nice to see people resolving conflicts in a calm, mature, healthy manner.

It’s widely regarded by the overall Love Island fandom as the worst season though, because there’s not enough drama. Because people love watching things that make them unhappy I guess.

This also makes me think of The Great British Baking Show. It’s a competition show, sure, so people get eliminated which is sad. But all the contestants are nice to one another, the judges are honest but not mean, it’s just an all around wholesome time. Contrast that to all the other cooking competition shows out there, which are mostly adrenaline-fueled nightmares where everyone’s mean to everyone else. I just don’t get it man

During my computer engineering degree I was required to take enough math credits to earn a mathematics minor, and I learned the physics of transistors at a quantum level as part of the core curriculum. Do you think I can call myself an engineer, or should I limit it to just - what was the wording you used - oh yeah, syntax ape?

Social deduction games have never appealed to me and Among Us is possibly my least favorite iteration of any of them. I doubt people would even be talking about it if it didn’t hit big as a streamer game.

Most of the frontend apps let you browse things unauthenticated as far as I know. You can’t post/comment/vote without being signed up though, of course. You can also visit an instance’s url directly in the browser to look at things unauthenticated. So for your home instance, you’d just go to “https://lemmy.world/” in your browser. For my home instance, you’d go to “https://sh.itjust.works/” in a browser. Etc for the various other instances out there.

What?

No it isn’t. I know cub gucci never replied to me. PsychadelicGoat is definitely the one strawmanning and insulting me.

Yet you’re the one that keeps doing the thing you say you aren’t doing. Hmmm

So are you saying you’d be ok with your personal property being searched without a warrant on the suspicion that you might own child porn?

The Aztek may be ugly, but at least it’s functional and practical, at least for the purpose it’s built for.
