  This is the kind of culture you get and deserve when you allow corporations to control your country and culture

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who else misses Battlefield 1943?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Somebody convince me to try them!

  Don’t bother, they’ve been garbage since 2008

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who else misses Battlefield 1943?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Battlefield 2 and 2142 were absolute gems and have not been matched by any other game in the series

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The left went too far - time to move things right⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To scale, the 2nd and 3rd graphs would look identical

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if tariffs worked the way Trump wanted and it magically brings all this manufacturing back to the USA, it will still cause extreme inflation in the USA. The reason foreign goods are so cheap? Dirt cheap labor. To manufacture these goods in the USA would mean orders of magnitude higher labor costs and ultimately orders of magnitude higher price of goods to the consumer. Inflation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t support tariffs to bring back manufacturing jobs domestically

  Do they even accomplish this?

  “Chinese exports have a large impact on our economy, therefore you have to either support tariffs or let them do anything they want” 🤡 take

  Older subarus are a high value and age well. I would expect it to hold decent value but that is crazy to be worth more 5 years later

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Based on a true story⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean yeah, that’s why I said beater. I just wouldn’t expect someone young or looking for a first car to be buying a current model year with low miles anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Based on a true story⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is cash for a beater car no longer an option? I don’t want to be a “less avocado toast more bootstraps” person but a loan for a used car sounds wild to me. Maybe I’m out of touch. My vehicle is old enough to drink

  Clean butt club!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its a roundabout way of writing “its really shit for this usecase and people that actively try to use it that way quickly find that out”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grok Reveals Elon Musk Has ‘Tried Tweaking My Responses’ After AI Bot Repeatedly Labels Him a ‘Top Misinformation Spreader’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, it’s literally a bullshit machine.

  Why should garbage unhealthy “food” be marketed to children though?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is also when I conveniently forget you called, making your preferred method of communication incredibly slow compared to texting.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah you’re 100% in the wrong here, and it’s wild that you bring up respect, as if this attitude and behavior isn’t incredibly disrespectful. Calling someone is literally not disrespectful. What the fuck is wrong with people

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Three years later, the Steam Deck has dominated handheld PC gaming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  touchpads

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hardcore gaming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A few, not a lot, and not on any games worth playing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Desktop computer mainly, sometimes a laptop. Tablets are painful to use IMO

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I run ollama on RTX 3060 and Inter iGPU to increase speed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Models are computed sequentially (the output of each layer is the input into the next layer in the sequence) so more GPUs do not offer any kind of performance benefit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Faster Ollama alternative⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ummm… did you try /set parameter num_context # and /set parameter num_predict #? Are you using a model that actually supports the context length that you desire…?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Bill proposed to jail people who download Deepseek⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hawley’s statement called DeepSeek “a data-harvesting, low-cost AI model that sparked international concern and sent American technology stocks plummeting.”

  data-harvesting ???

  It runs offline… using open-source software that provably does not collect or transmit any data…

  It is low-cost and out-competes American technology, though, true

  Trump certainly sounded like he wanted it to be that way with Ivanka

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemon wine and orange wine⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a big limoncello fan, I wonder if it will turn out similar

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemon wine and orange wine⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Love to see it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2025 trailer be wild⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think he is wrong because being informed and aware of what has happened in the world does not equate to “mentally masturbating to disaster porn”. We do have a real problem with sensationalized media, but the solution is not to just be uninformed…

  I sometimes hear similar logic as an argument against things like funding science research: “Why spend money and time on a deep space observatory? We can never get to those places in space anyway”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2025 trailer be wild⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It didn’t happen to me personally, so it’s fine! Stop paying attention!!

  😬

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New year new brew⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol I think that was me that said it! Best of luck and prove me wrong (or right lol, we’ll see!). It’s all good fun and I’m excited to see the process and result

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨84% of H-1B Visas Go to India and China: Is It a Scam in Disguise?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean… they are more than 35% of the world’s population. And in order to grant visas, people must seek them. With cultural and socioeconomic factors, there is no reason to expect population from all countries to seek and be granted visas equally?

  I wonder what the distribution looks like for the equivalent visas in europe and other countries besides the USA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Got electrocuted today⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Electricity is a total dice roll. I’m glad you were uninjured! I’ve been lucky enough to feel both 120V and 240V AC with no injury, but it was total luck. The 240V should have been my end, bery scary stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Got electrocuted today⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Electrocuted” specifically involves death, so in extreme, annoying pedantry, if you lived to tell the tale, technically you were only shocked and not electrocuted
