Fuckers got my entire complex’s Internet shut down (I am a renter not the owner)

wait is THAT why my mint edge iso randomly fucking sends me back to login screen??

ooh boy, and I was going to do pop!OS on my main rig thinking mint wasn’t good for gaming.

Been using Mint for about a month now on my daily laptop. It’s nice, not having to deal with windows’ bullshit, but on the other hand I’ve had a number of issues with it; most recently, it sort of reboots itself every so often randomly. That, and issues with not being able to hear high fidelity audio on a bluetooth headset while also using the headset’s mic (there’s a codec that let’s me use both mic and audio, but the audio is low quality).

Usually though issues get fixed with an update, just gotta check the update manager often.

there’s a lot of abbreviations in the article that I don’t understand or know lol. what’s a BEV? HPEV? etc.

Good article tho. From my limited view prices definitely are a huge limiting factor for electric vehicles, though they brought up a good point about the charge times. I guess if people treated it like their phones (charge every night) then it wouldn’t be a problem?

Honestly not surprised that demand has dropped for them though. Anyone who was interested in it has either decided it’s not worth it or already has one. Price puts them out of most people’s budget, and with rising costs and stagnant wages, people can’t really afford to take on monthly payments anymore. The environmental friendliness of them is heavily marketed, but won’t bring into effect the large scale, immediate change we need to slow climate change. Plus there’s the whole Tesla thing with delayed shipping and paywalling features built into software (admittedly not up to brush with Tesla tho).

For a while they were a new, impressive technology, and while I still think they’re cool, until they become very, very cheap and accessible, I won’t be getting one. The fad is starting to die out.

CSAM?

This is the worst possible take I’ve heard this week, probably this year.

You would fuck over thousands of people, in addition to creating a bar of entry for anyone wanting to post a video or start a channel. Like I genuinely don’t even know where to begin explaining how bad this take is.

Got 10/20. The second photo really threw me for a loop. All the texture on the skin and and hair led me to believe human; I noticed the weird patch on the shoulder and the unnatural shine on the ear but excused it as technical flaws or something, chose human in the end. I really thought that corporate logo style drawing of the avocado was human, like it wasn’t even a question for me and yet the fact that it was AI really surprised me.

This is such a great analysis.

I just want to point out that the description beneath the image in the article is hilarious.

Who is they? Do you have links?

I’m not trying to be critical or skeptical, just want to be as informed as possible.

For some reason a lot of the Internet relates communism with homosexuality. I think maybe because heterosexual people established capitalism? Idfk
