That’s two data points influenced by countless other factors. Like the economy, which I mentioned.

I think that plenty of people who voted for Trump would be fine voting for a woman president as long as she’s strongly advocating change

These people just know that things aren’t great, they don’t know whose fault it was or what policies caused it. So they vote for the person who says they’ll change the most.

The largest deciding factor stated by people after voting was the economy. People remembered that there was a lot of inflation under Biden, and didn’t want to keep similar policies. Of course, we know that Trump’s first term had a pretty large influence on the state of the economy under Biden, and Biden’s policies probably didn’t hurt the economy. But the average voter is not that informed.

No one cares about qualifications. They care about vibes and what their friends think.

Don’t they have the whole “copilot+ ready pc” branding thing now for computers with npus? is none of it actually local yet?

I have a laptop with 4gb ram that i’ve been using kde plasma on and fairly frequently it just freezes or I have to restart because I had like 6 tabs open in firefox

Although I don’t remember having that problem as much when I was on xfce, but I also might not have been using it as heavily then

I’ve never had a similar problem with chrome on chromeos with the same amount of ram, I think chrome+chromeos might be more aggressive with unloading tabs

Sometimes it does actually kill firefox but sometimes it just becomes very slow (1-2 seconds per frame) or freezes entirely for several minutes when out of memory. Might be just because the swap is really slow, but there’s just 2gb of that, why would it freeze for several minutes? (One time this was happening was when I was trying to compile llvm on two threads, I ended up having to temporarily kill the desktop environment to save ram)

It had an email for uverse at the bottom which I am pretty sure is residential? Idk

That doesn’t seem that difficult?

I don’t really stay on top of my gmail that often, but my spam folder has basically exactly the same stuff in it that my inbox has. Just a bunch of random emails from services that I signed up for an account on or bought something from and none of which I particularly care about. There’s not really much that I can tell differentiating what gets marked as spam or not either.

Fedora and Arch both work pretty well on 4gb. Plasma and Gnome were surprisingly decent, and xfce was great but a little uglier. Blender, FreeCad, Minecraft (with performance mods), Celeste, for example all worked perfectly fine, with maybe a few browser tabs in the background as well. You couldn’t do anything too heavy, but it was pretty usable (I was using it as a travel laptop mostly). I’d say 2gb is where it becomes too little to live with.

I got a HDD very recently for a backup drive for my server and I’m very happy with that decision. 8 tb, lightly used but an enterprise drive, for $100.

It is pretty insane how dense storage can get. Some companies have showcased 4tb micro SD cards and you can buy a 2tb one right now.

Modern AAA games above 1440p and high settings usually can use that much VRAM.

8gb of ram is also not enough for anything particularly heavy.

The demo scene is still around, although it’s maybe less popular. That was a demo scene thing, not a commercial game.

Also, iirc, it was very heavy on performance for the time because the procedural textures were so expensive.

And water doesn’t touch water?

Harris was less than 2% behind, and Clinton was ahead in the popular vote. I don’t think gender was not a factor, but I also don’t think it was a major one.

You could just hop back through time doing this, and no one could ever catch you at the end because you hadn’t even committed those crimes yet

Bernie’s going to be almost 90 years old by then

Apparently (according to some random comment on Reddit where this was posted) this was written by an organization called “Third Way”, that doesn’t actually have influence in the government or either political party

Most points are more focused on decreasing workplace efficiency by ways other than lowering morale.

I’m just using basic fabric stuff running through a systemd service for my MC server. It also basically just has every single performance mod I could find and nothing else (as well as geyser+floodgate) so there isn’t all that much admin stuff to do. I set up RCON (I think it’s called) to send commands from my computer but I just set up everything through ssh. I haven’t heard of either pterodactyl or crafty controller, I’ll check those out!
