That’s not my experience in my local areas. I guess we just don’t tend to have strong winds, and you do see a ton of people with umbrellas doing just fine

And yet, being in denial prevents true growth

Facing reality is hard. So much for calling others snowflakes

10% of all crashes is definitively a brag. Crashes due to faulty hardware/bitflips is rare rare, generally I would expect that percentage to be less than 1% in any complex app

There is no way that picture won’t be in history books in the future

Nothing encapsulates the capitalistic moral decay of the modern world quite as much as this

While it is not realistic to eliminate all cheaters, what I will say is that cheaters can easily ruin a game, especially one that has lasting consequences such as, for example, Tarkov. Which I did end up stopping playing due to cheaters.

In addition, if you start seriously questioning whether you lost due to the other person’s skill or their cheats after every engagement, then it erodes the game’s foundation and things start falling apart. You can’t do the process of analyzing what you did wrong or could do better, because you might have done the right thing and just lost due to a cheater. You can’t be confident that you could have gotten good enough to win that engagement next time, because it might just be a cheater and be impossible. Strategy goes out the window because you cannot assume that the other person acted rationally in a non-cheaty context. It subverts the rules of the game that you agreed to. Like when you’re playing chess and the other player keeps knocking over your queen with their finger. It simply stops being fun. The game turns into something else

Playing competitively is fun and relaxing for me though. Not everyone is the same

My laptop (Intel) CPU commonly has cores sitting at TJMax and it’s a decade old now and still working fine so…

Laptops are just built with very different thermal considerations to desktops

They should live for 1000 years but require 22 hours of sleep per day

The purpose of a system is what it does

Ankle lows

Transgender, AuDHD, (secret third thing. Or maybe just bitcoin)

…I’m sure my 18 year old ass would process this information in a calm and reasonable manner, lol

It’s something to do with the lack of fats and a lot of sugar in apples, right?

When I’ve consumed alcohol, about the last thing I usually want is something sweet. But I would absolutely love something greasy. I’m sure it’s something with how the alcohol affects the body

Weed just makes everything taste better tbh

Edit: but I will say, that does give me a good idea for eating healthier when I’m high

Their goal is to have no ways to bypass it. Sure, it’s an ideal that might not hold up, but they will keep trying over and over and over again

Backed up by server-side authorization, and supported by powerful entities such as banks or governments. They will not stop trying

They want no competition. They want consumers to have devices, that are necessary for them to have in the modern world, that are locked down and under control of corporate or state entities. It’s surveillance capitalism combined with police states

It’s the cyberpunk future

Pathological Display of Affection

I wouldn’t say post-apocalyptic. Yes, we won’t have access to performant new chips anymore, but most critical infrastructure doesn’t need performant new chips. It would be a rough period, for sure, but not apocalyptic

And if worst came to worst, the military/government could requisition consumer equipment, or less critical business equipment

Definitively a bubble. I know pro-AI people irl

Personally I’m more in the “it’s not the tool, but how it’s used (aka, the rich fucks are the problem, as usual)”

Calling us “Euroids” is sure to build sympathy
