  I legit learned of it around when it released from gamingcirclejerk making fun of chuds for calling it woke or whatever. Next time I heard of it, it was the shut down announcement.

  As someone who did swap theor steam deck’s M.2, I really wish it were a 2280 instead since those drives can hold much more. The largest 2230 I could find was only 2 TB.

  Would you like an eli5 for some stuff you’ll see in the linux community/forums/etc?

  I’d personally be happy to give you a quick rundown of some stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is reportedly banning Palestinians in the U.S. for life for calling relatives in Gaza⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Really? I swore I’ve been told that the regular mint uses snaps since ubuntu loves them. I haven’t used mint since snaps were a thing eitherway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is reportedly banning Palestinians in the U.S. for life for calling relatives in Gaza⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m also going to recommend Linux Mint, its a really friendly beginner distro. I’ll presonally recommend you do Linux Mint Debian instead of normal linux mint since regular linux mint is Ubuntu based and really loves snaps.

  The default user env is cinnimon which is going to look a lot like Windows 10 making the transition easier. If you want to install steam its literally a command line away from installing and then its ready to go. That and Steam personally pushing for Linux as a viable gaming platform there are a lot more games now that work out of the box now on steam.

  Well, no, not really. Back during the 2016 election don poorleon did a photoshoot with a bald eagle and the bird attacked him. I still love the pure symbolism there, the symbol of American democracy considered him a threat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X’s Premium users can no longer hide their blue checks⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously, I don’t understand tgat person’s point. Before elon the check ment “yes this really is Billy West, voice actor for a lot of things”. It wasn’t a hard concept.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey, I'm new to GitHub!⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Frequently repos say “git clone [repo url]” which i think is enough for most people to copy and paste. I’m a programmer and usually I just click things in my IDE to do git work for me so I’ll agree its not an easy thing to use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey, I'm new to GitHub!⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Step 1) Download the LLM with git

  Well, fuck we should have known that this requires a masters in computering. Dude these comands are easy, literally copy and paste. The instructions are literally handholding you to run it and thats still to complicated. Also who makes furry porn with a Large Language Model?

  It’d be better if you wore crocs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Air Canada must pay damages after chatbot lies to grieving passenger about discount | Airline tried arguing virtual assistant was solely responsible for its own actions⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah so, we have a way of making chat bots that have safe gaurds to not sell overly discounted tickets or whatever. Its the normal dumb chatbots we’ve used for years. They aren’t smart, they can’t tell you a story, they can’t pull random law out of their ass. No its the ones with a handful of canned responses with a handful of questions it can answer because that’s all it’s programmed to do. Using an LLM for this is not only overkill but fucking stupid. LLM’s are only able to say what they think is the next thing in a conversation. If you ask it for a discount it’ll probably say “sure here’s 15% off” then not actually apply it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just 137 crypto miners use 2.3% of total U.S. power — government now requiring commercial miners to report energy consumption⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, its not like we could store that energy in say a battery and then use it another time when demand is higher for actually useful things instead of jerking off techbros/cryptobros.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just 137 crypto miners use 2.3% of total U.S. power — government now requiring commercial miners to report energy consumption⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude. It’s 2.3% of a massive industrialized nation where most citizens have access to some luxury goods. A nation with nearly 350 million people being the 3rd most populous country.

  It does NOT fucking matter if it’s “”“”““waste””“”“” energy. And no, we don’t fucking make that arguement about things like ac because you know why? Someone is getting comfort out of it instead of burning seals to make a line go up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘There is no such thing as a real picture,’ says Samsung exec.⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was just listening to the episode of “cool people who did cool stuff” where Margret mentioned that “this is not a pipe” picture.

  Though i think the samsungs ex’s arguement is a bit more nihilistic

  In the first episode the discription said it was an adaptation of this rolling stone article in case you weren’t aware.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can have anything you wan...⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My old man told me he took one programming language in college and it was APL. Having looked at APL since becoming a software dev myself, I can understand why he hated it.

  It’s just so gross and hard to read

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨State flags⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah split my state back in half you weirdo. Its supposed to be 2 peninsulas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The only thing keeping us Millennials going at this point⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still mad about how dirty they did Suki in TLoK. Not even a fucking offhanded mention.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨should i??⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I found the poster on the birdsite, and from what I’ve seen of their pictures. No way is the subject them. The poster has way too long of hair for none of it to be visible in the photo.

  Though having looked at their twitter, I am not surprised they said that about a stranger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Given historical trends the people in the ghettos are people who do not have control of the government of the region. Who do you think has better control of the region, Palestine barely holding itself together or Isreal with monitary and military backing of the united states?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USB inventor explains why the connector was not designed to be reversible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I bought some JBL sound equipment and those USB-A side cables are reversable too. Just a flap with the connectors on both sides.

  I’ve been in -37C snow shoveling. Since then 0C doesn’t even register as cold to me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cyberpunk patch 2.01 now available⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I played it a few months ago on my deck. It has default preset that holds an extremely solid 30 fps from my testing.

  So if you don’t mind 30 FPS the default is pretty good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks to everyone who suggested i play Titan fall 2⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone who has played the game knows what level you’re talking about, and I find myself launching Titanfall 2 every now and then just to play it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They Need To Stop Doing This⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was recently tasked with the traveling salesman problem on a project. My first pass was quick but produced sloppy inefficient results. Well boss didn’t like it so he had me go back at it again so it would be far more accurate. Well now it slogs through figuring out an optimal solution of several thousand points.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity boycott begins as devs switch off ads to force a Runtime Fee reversal - Mobilegamer.biz⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey some if said we’d go on indefinately and after being told to open decided to maliously comply only. /r/baduibattles a sub I started is now only letting posts be of New reddit or the Reddit app. User involvement has plummeted, there are fewer posts, each with votes and comments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How the IT guys see the users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’m in the IT dept (companys conatantly flop between throwing software into engineering, IT, or its own dept) and the other day, 5 minutes before I leave for a week long vacation a user comes up and asks if we’re ignoring her.

  Outlook is constantly asking for a password to one of the emails she uses. She doesn’t know it and keeps clicking close on the popup. So she sends an email, FROM THE ACCOUNT SHE IS LOGGED OUT OF, to helpdesk a few days earlier.
