Who needs an API when you can scrape slopbots someone else is paying for, I guess?

It’s K shaped though, no? The death of the Flynn effect is largely because those who have access to parental resources and proactive education are overtaking people who don’t have those luxuries.

There are plenty of Gen Z who are well educated and have the capacity to understand the world more. However, the amount of people who are being left behind is probably growing as the educational and class divides are rising.

I’ve been using Geany, was that a bad choice in hindsight?

Welcome to the US highway system.

My drive to the university from home was 152mi.

Publicly traded company shareholders, baby!

Any project worth its salt is privately held or FOSS lol

I think a lot of that depends on platform though. If you’re having electron apps like Discord active on your desktop the whole time, memory usage will be a constant issue for you.

I replaced a lot of my proprietary software with FOSS suites that run locally (with the exception of Steam and GOG launchers that I don’t have running in the background), and I haven’t had any issues with memory since.

Plus, using Ublock Origin on a Firefox fork tends to prevent junk from loading in the first place while browsing the web (and saves a shit ton of ram)

Nah, with 4gb you can get away with most linux distros with XFCE, and you could even do some indie gaming. Plus, using ChromeOS means you’re expected to have a network connection at all times (which makes things like using office suites locally a pain).

Mullvad and Aurora seems to work fine on GrapheneOS, not sure if some VPNs are just blacklisted more

Depends on use case - I find it helps a lot with things like competitive video games.

As the saying goes, “Don’t hate, educate.”

(Also amateur radio is fun :D)

Yep, takes a moment to wrap your head around but the longer you read linux/unix documentation, the more it makes sense why it is the case.

Few potential reasons, the most likely being a lack of access to the amount of compute, electricity, and knowhow.

Or they wanted to use the “mainstream option” idk

That’s called 4chan. You can make a version of 4chan on the fediverse but good luck keeping your hosting providers happy when the content stored becomes more and more vile (just read their wikipedia page to find out their troubles with that)

You still need a helmet, but they do add flair :3

Removes fall damage

Yet another secret? The best “gaming headphones” are just standard audio gear or music studio stuff.

Things like Noctua fans and motherboards aimed at enterprise use cases tend to not have the shiny distractions that average tech bros want.

You probably want to stick with ATX over rack mounted stuff as an individual, just means you have to search for function-over-form brands for peripherals and the motherboard.

Ah ty. I wasn’t keeping track of either project, but good to know servo’s the one to look out for instead.

It’s called the forks, dude.

Also, hopefully the ladybug thing or whatever gets off the ground someday.

Edit: Servo is the better project to follow.

Depends on cost of living if you’re looking at it from his perspective. In the state of West Virginia that money would go a lot further on average compared to California or New York (and going by city the divide gets even greater).

We don’t know what field of employment your boyfriend is in, but if he’s comfortable sending $2000 a month abroad, that means he has either a spectacular job in a high cost of living area, or an okay job in a medium to low cost of living area at minimum.
