Pretty soon you won’t be allowed to use a tv to watch stuff that isn’t state approved media from a state approved source. I had an airbnb once that was set up in such a way that you could sign in to any streaming service you wanted but hdmi was blocked. I doubt the owner intentionally did that but it’s scary to actually see this type of shit firsthand.

Actually I got an nvidia card working on easy diffusion on Debian. The barrier for getting a text chat ai working with gpu acceleration is actually the fact that I don’t have the patience to deal with all that python venv nonsense so I use llamacpp. It runs in c++ which means no python dependencies to fuck you with at the cost of slower cpu-only generation.

Easy Diffusion just happens to be simple enough that I could actually figure out how to get it to work (it’s in python and needs a virtual environment) but it’s a different story for the text ais.

If you actually had the patience and knowledge to deal with all the python issues and/or had a distro that makes it easy (different distros deal with pip differently), I don’t doubt you’d be able to get Nvidia card acceleration working on some text chat ai.

Theyre no longer trying to keep bots out. They’re trying to keep humans out. This is exactly the type of thing a bot would be best at. They can probably tell you the estimated temperature to 3 decimal places of each picture.

In my 30s here. I spent my 20s getting shit faced drunk almost every day. I can’t drink anymore. The hangovers are just too severe. I would rather be sober and deal with all the boringness that comes with it than get hungover. And that’s exactly what I’ve been doing.

Oh, I’m sure they’ll charge a minimum of $2k/month even for the shittiest of the shithole office apartments. They’ll get their money don’t worry.

Some people give birth in their own homes like in medival times. I know people who have done it. In my opinion people shouldn’t be having kids if society is so broken you have to do stuff like this but to each their own.

The fucking government is stepping in to take away video games from people now. What the fuck.

Ah, yes the good ol’ days. Just people living in the moment. Not a cellphone in sight.

Global warming isn’t in the bible therefore it doesn’t exist (or maybe it is, even Christians don’t read that shit)

I like lifepo4 batteries. You can safely forget about them and then they don’t burn your house down. They last long enough that when you finally do remember and need them for something years later, they’re probably still good.

Gasoline also explodes. Lithium batteries also explode.

Homebrew computers. I started with a 8 bit z80 and kept at it until I almost got a 80486 based homebrew working. I got it to run 3 bytes of program data before crashing one time. Computers are hard. I keep hoping someone else will find the missing piece to the puzzle but I ain’t getting any further with this otherwise. Homebrewers are on 286 and 386 stuff right now so they’ll get to 486 eventually.

Probably not. I think the timeouts are set up differently or something. Back in the day even if you had 1.2kb/s dial up internet, you could reliably load webpages and all their css if you were patient. Nowadays, if your internet speed dips by even a little bit, everything stops working and being patient about it only results in error screens.

In America you can sneak a candy bar into a movie threater by putting it in the magazine slot of your pistol. This gets you out of paying $20 for a snickers bar.

At least on older x86 motherboards, there used to be a dram refresh interrupt. It would trigger every 15 or so milliseconds and tell the dram controller to do a bus hold request and then refresh the ram. This bus hold request means the cpu can’t access the ram when this happens (it can still run stuff in the cache) but at least you aren’t wasting as much cpu time on dram refresh this way.

I once got dogpiled in r/lsd of all places for saying employers shouldn’t be allowed to drug test for thc. I got swarmed for “being a druggie” in a sub about lsd.

I quit reddit for good not too long after that. What a fucking shithole.

Unity or Godot.

Another option is c++ with SDL2 but if you just want to make a game asap, don’t do this because it’s the hardest way. You can also use SDL2 in rust and c# projects if one of those fit the bill a little better.

I’m never having kids. Had things been easier, maybe I would’ve had kids but it’s hard enough to look out for myself as it is and having kids anyway like many people do is the worst move I could possibly make. Not having kids will have consequences against the absolute tyrants in charge of it all some day. Not having kids in protest to the system (or at least until things improve for the common person) is just doing your patriotic duty at this point.
