  LLMs aren’t sorting algorithms, they’re fancy keyboard predictions.

  I guess only in a country that is so far leaning on the right thinks that liberals are “on the left”.

  I’m trying to focus on European offerings. Bandcamp is based in California, I think. Recent months have shown that US companies cannot be relied on.

  Please just tell me that Qobuz is fine. My last straw before going back to piracy.

  Besides the shift to mercury mining others have already listed, you really think that this process is cheaper than mining gold and also cleaner and safer at the same time?

  It’s easy to say that Valve should make a stand, but wouldn’t be able to sell games anymore.

  I’ve recently learned that, if you connect your Battlenet launcher to your Xbox account, you can in fact play Diablo IV, Call of Duty and whatnot with your gamepass subscription. That works even on Linux.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not the same thing. The ROG Ally X is an AMD Z1 Extreme and the Xbox Ally X is an AMD Z2 Extreme. It’s not clear yet how well the Z2 Extreme performs in comparison to the Z1 Extreme.

  The Phawx did some testing with the Legion Go 2 and their Z2 (non-extreme) performs worse than the ROG Ally X. -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVdOkbJ9Npo&pp=ygUVTGVnaW…

  My cautious expectation is that it will perform marginally better than the ROG Ally X, maybe be 10-15%, though I’m not touching anything Microsoft at this time in history.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m confused. The Xbox Ally X costs pretty much the same as the normal ROG Ally X. Don’t people in the US that prices in the EU usually include tax?

  Take the hint and start participating in housework and learn how to cook.

  Born via surrogate with the acclaimed actor’s ex-girlfriend Toukie Smith, Airyn told Them magazine that hormone treatment into becoming a woman began in 2024.

  Airyn has always been a woman. Hormone replacement is (one of the) treatments for body dysphoria.

  Isn’t Canonical up to some crummy schemes, too?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If I understand this correctly, then this restriction only applies to Turkey. Which is exactly what you’d expect. If you violate local laws, then there are local restrictions. On a global level, everyone else can still interact with you.

  Have I understood this correctly?
