I think we’re still missing the mark because it’s tax payer money.

Rip immunity from that fucker and let it come out of his pension (if he’s got one) or garnish his wages like everybody else.

For the most part, all anti virus software I’ve found that is pretty “mainstream” are bad or have backdoors built for bad people.

Macafee -absolute Spyware, delete it Kaspersky - Russian ties apparently - but I don’t believe reports from Just the US, and they’ve been pretty integral to the security space for businesses for years. I’m not sold on them being ‘bad’ yet. Norton - not malware, but not good and going the Macafee route

I hear good things about BitDefender, and Windows Defender is mostly good enough for the average person + an adblocker and you’re good to go.

I mean, we can summarize it in “republican representative pours water on the property of her Democrat colleague from the same district, lies about origin and reason”

There’s just never been evidence to suggest (in any meaningful way) a doctor made a decision compromising the life of the organ donor to make use in other patients, that would be medical malpractice and the first people looking to sue you after a loved one dies are the ones signing the papers giving permission.

Calling the opinion moronic may not be nice, but the idea is something I’d say is foolish. Like if you went through life thinking vaccines are some kind of conspiracy for profit, the evidence just isn’t there and there’s enough of it on the contrary that to suggest it would be foolishness.

Fuck, he’s dead already, he’ll never have to live in a bunker playing CSGO, Masturbate to bootlegged lesbian porn, or make his grandkids recite dogmatic poetry.

Here I heard he was looking forward to that

Feel free, I think it’ll be a great game when you check back in.

I’m a big Hades 1 fan, and played that game in it’s early state as well. Hades 2’s early access feels roughly 90% or more complete, it’s missing pictures for some items (placeholders for now), some character portraits of some of the lesser-interacted-with NPCs. I think there will be another weapon because there’s a slot for it, and there’s seemingly some more boss content. Gameplay, basically at 100%

So if you’re likely to finish and not check back in, definitely wait because the game should be in pristine condition by then, with it being this polished already. Love this studio, love this game

I beat [BAD GUY IN TARTARUS] and [BAD GUY ON SURFACE] when it was still really hard

I like the changes, those wins felt very cheap and circumstantial. It was super fun, but the changes definitely make it ‘feel’ better. I love this dev team for listening to the community

I think international pressure, like most global pushes, ultimately stumble when not receiving backing from either Russia, China, or the US.

As their biggest western partner, we have yet to lay ANY substantial pressure on Israel

I think the person was speaking to the fact that the median savings account of the average American (big average) is 84,000 https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/scf/dataviz/scf/table/#series:Retirement_Accounts;demographic:agecl;population:all;units:median

Or that the average person under 35 has less than 18,000

https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/scf/dataviz/scf/table/#series:Retirement_Accounts;demographic:agecl;population:all;units:median

The average American isn’t winning big with stock market gains. Crashing the stock market might wipe out my measly 15k, but I don’t own a house yet and I can’t touch that money for another 30+ years, so it can’t help me at all anyway.

I was just refuting the bit that it’s not better off the paper. By all the measures above, it’s not “meh” better. The steamdeck could drastically improve by taking some notes in what the Ally does well.

I agree though that Asus isn’t a company I choose to do business with first, they just had the best product for what I was looking for.

Own both

Ease of use - Ally Graphical capabilities - Ally Battery usage - Steam Deck (because less graphical capabilities) Gaming platforms/launcher availability - Ally Customization and layout - Steam Deck, and it ain’t even close.

I love my Ally and my wife loves my Steam Deck. But the Ally is better in all the ways above. I will say the Steam deck is easier to open up for repairs, but not by much

Disagree. Top 20 Thanksgiving Family Clapbacks of 2023 is probably a really fun article to read

I just started diving into the space from a localized point yesterday. And I can say that there are definitely problems with garbage spewing, but some of these models are getting really really good at really specific things.

A biomedical model I saw seemed lauded for it’s consistency in pulling relevant data from medical notes for the sake of patient care instructions, important risk factors, fall risk level etc.

So although I agree they’re still giving well phrased garbage for big general cases (and GPT4 seems to be much more ‘savvy’), the specific use cases are getting much better and I’m stoked to see how that continues.

Dofin is their word, we really shouldn’t be using it at all. Dolphin is the acceptable spelling and term.

I’d day it’s still a good move as it prevents inequal wealth resulting in inequality treatment. We should ALL be moved to the front of the TSA line, with no extra cost, or none of us should.

The ultimate solution is a change to TSA that makes it easier to board for everyone, but if the only option is to let people who pay a fee get a leg-up, I’m fine with just banning the whole service.

Nah chief, it’s pretty groundbreaking. I mean we don’t know how to specifically target existing connections to strengthen the sheathe between existing brain cells, but connecting two brain cells at all, manually, is such a feat

“With an apple silicon architecture, 8gb is like 16gb” -some stupid apple flunkey

Access to hormone replacement therapy or puberty blockers if they’ve obtained the proper consent from parents or medical professionals (I think there’s an AND in there, that they have to get both, varies by state but I’m not positive and haven’t looked in years), gender affirming care falls under that too so potentially any consultations in regards to reducing dysphoria.

Yeah I agree with the idea of once I beat a really good game I want to support the creator more. Baldurs Gate 3 was so good, and there was nothing to buy, so I bought another copy for a friend. Who later bought his wife a copy.

It’s honestly just giving “we only want 8 spots so the 8 of us that live here can go, stay home poors”
