what? something wrong with this? https://thecodinglove.com/content/053/linus-torvalds-github-git-20-years.jpg

I don’t know those shirts he wears with the spiders on them is pretty neat. what brand is that anyways?

as others have stated if you’ve spent any time in the corporate world, especially the tech industry, you’d realize that they simply don’t think that far ahead. They live in the now. They live by the quarter. beyond that there’s no point in thinking about 2 to 5 years down the line. As long as they’re making money now then that’s all that matters.

It’s the same with billionaires and the wealthy. They can’t think that far ahead, they don’t need to. They don’t need a retirement plan, they can stop whenever they want. But who will cook their food? produce their goods? etc? who cares they aren’t thinking about that. they live in the now, quarter to quarter.

it can be if you want it to be. I will say though, while I do love NixOS and it’s my favourite distro, might be a bit of overkill if you just want something to game on. That said it can be done easily.

you can pretty much tailor it to however you want it. configure it how you want, however you want. Hell you could run the distro without installing anything if you so wished and still be able to game.

welp just closed my bitwarden account and switched to keepassxc. honestly works a hell of a lot better on qutebrowser than bitwarden did.

My friend and I camped out for the original Xbox launch (I was only going to pick up Metal Gear Solid 2 which launched the same night). he had saved up his money from his job to buy the system, 2 controllers and 1 game. Now you’re assuming it’s Halo…no…he wanted Cel Damage. The game was a cel shaded twisted metal style game. That’s all he wanted. I convinced him to also pick up Halo because I had read good things about it in some gaming mag. I said I would go halves on it with him and call it an early birthday present.

We go back to his place and we play like one round of Cel Damage and then stay up the entire night playing Halo.

I can only imagine this guy’s news sources.

Asmongold.

still use mine almost daily. thing is built like a damn brick house too, rock solid. Metroid and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance are my go tos.

If you’re paying $200+ a month for a tool that doesn’t work then i’m sorry but you deserve to potentially have your bank account wiped out by it.

nah Americans are convinced weekend protests every few months and midterm elections will save them. Most simply don’t care or are too broke to care.

calm down. it does work, would you like me to record a video if it working? hm? oh boy I just did! http://andmc.ca/mov/noads.mp4

Just because YOU don’t know how to work something as simple as an ad blocker on vivaldi doesn’t mean it dosn’t work.

Grow up you child.

this is actually what it should be used for. If companies pivoted their AI use to exactly that I almost guarantee you peoples opinions, i.e. middle manager wannabe techbros on linkedin, would change on it. But this is what AI should be used for. mundane project management style tasks. let your devs do dev work, let your upper management continue to do nothing and reap the rewards, and get rid of the yes men/women in the middle. THAT’s when you’ll see the shift.

yes it does. i’m using it right now.

which you can get on any Chromium based browser, brave is nothing special in that regard. you can have functioning adblock with Vivaldi also.

It is. I don’t know if you do any development or simply write code as a hobby but you get a sort of dopamine hit when something you’re working on actually works. like a bug or something that’s been dogging you for days and suddenly you figure it out. it feels good. I can’t remember the quote but Linus Torvald said something similar. it’s a good feeling.

Now imagine you get that constantly, consistently, again and again because you strictly use an AI agent. that’s what these tech bros are getting. The problem is unlike actual devs they’re getting that hit because it essentially “works on my machine” as really that’s all the AI turns out. Something that surface level functions. So they’re addicted to it. “oh man that was so fast and easy, lets build something else!” over and over again.

The problem then becomes they’ll run out of ideas or things to build and will naturally have to start trying to maintain what the AI built utilizing the same AI. Annnnnd if you’ve had any experience with these agents you know “that’s where the fun starts” those dopamine hits are going to vanish very quickly. Now these people are “chasing the dragon” so to speak. AI doesn’t know it was the one that built the thing. I’ve seen it first hand with my clients vibe coders when I’ve asked them to go back into something that was built and have the AI start fixing bugs that I’ve found in my review. the vibe coder panics, it doesn’t understand what the agent is telling them, the agent believes the vibe coder built this thing. suddenly it’s not fun anymore. suddenly it’s not churning out semi-working results. suddenly things are breaking.

This is the one aspect NONE of these companies or tech bros or vibe coders like to talk about it. Haven’t you wondered why you rarely read stories of them sending their AI agents back into the thing its built to scale it or fix something? it never turns out well.

So it is an addiction. And they’re all collectively chasing the dragon. But eventually they stop getting their hits and will crash out.

or you can literally just do what is it? something+tab? and it just goes to town without the need for you to confirm anything.

I mean it’s gonna turn out slop that won’t scale and be full of exploits anyways regardless if you auto confirm or not. then just rig it up to ping your phone when it’s done…oh who am I kidding these dudes wouldn’t know how to do that.

no point. there are much better places in the world and hell even in Canada itself to vacation. I’m not going to travel to a Nazi country and risk being detained at the border cause I want to save $50 on something.

a couple of my parents friends are snowbirds, they all sold their properties in Florida.

really depends and you really gotta research if it’s even going to be worth your time. there’s a site where you can check if your chromebook will work and how difficult it will be: https://docs.chrultrabook.com/

some you have to physically open up and mess with like a screw or two. some use other methods. that site will tell you specifically what you have to physically do to get it working.

Then you have to take into consideration the SSD you have on your chromebook. like will it even have enough space to do anything worthwhile. I put linux on a chromebook and honestly all it’s good for is opening some terminals to do some basic things and maybe stream stuff online. that’s it. And it can be a struggle to get linux installed so again is it worth your time to have something that could potentially be a glorified terminal station? up to you. Don’t get me wrong it’s a fun hobby project but that’s about it.

yeah I learned that first hand. shit company with shit product.
