I have a lower-end GPU (8GB VRAM) and I can still run smaller models on it with decent performance.

IVPN or AirVPN (depending on whether or not you need port-forwarding) is my VPN recommendation.

Divinity: Original Sin 2. Combat system isn’t perfect (my main criticism is that you can unchain your characters to set your party members up in advantageous positions and then trigger combat, which feels cheaty) but it has some cool mechanics. A lot of elemental interactions, interactions with and creation of different surfaces, factoring in high ground for an advantage, etc. I know BG3 is highly acclaimed also by Larian but I haven’t played it so can’t attest to that combat system.

It would likely have to have a large pool of accounts and randomly pick one per request, to avoid Reddit noticing a too-high volume of requests from one account.

What kind of data is it? If it can be printed, you can just print it and store it somewhere safe, or print multiple copies and distribute it around. Plenty of 80 year old books are perfectly readable. That’d only be books printed in 1946 so nothing crazy. You can pay for professional printing so they can do it on good quality paper and so on.

It’s convenient when there’s no mouse. Moving around on a trackpad can be slow and annoying. But not super necessary for me.

IVPN has been working well for me. Heard AirVPN is good if you need port forwarding too.

Reuters blocks my VPN and the Wayback archived version doesn’t display anything.

Impressive, well done!

No, the comment I responded to was about the ~2014 uptick, not the recent one.

The recent one is obviously AI one way or another. Absolute contribution rate is higher due to AI as well.

They do, but I still use the correct dash in code comments. It’s easy to type with a compose key. I don’t know; I’ve just always done it. I think maybe because English is not my first language so I spent a while learning all the grammatical rules; it feels wrong to deliberately break them to indicate an informal tone, the way a lot of people do online.

If the graph is not just using made up data, then it also measures absolute em-dashes, not em-dash density, so possibly could be an increase in interest in contributing to the kernel?

Escalator breaking in such a way that it goes way too quickly could make it unusable.

They, notably, did not say that PHP was good.

Why is this marked NSFW?

Anyway, maybe lie in bed for a bit, do some reading, eventually get up and make breakfast and coffee. Watch the sun rise. Get some work in before whatever obligations I have in the morning. Sometimes go to the supermarket as soon as it opens because it’s nice and quiet first thing in the morning. Can buy your food for the week without a flood of children running into your stomach.

Shortbread. Very simple ingredients (flour, butter, sugar), and uses lots of butter. Hard to screw up and tasty even if you keep it very simple.

Or just appreciate not having to buy any butter for a while. If it’s in the freezer, it’ll keep.

What you’re looking for is fanfiction.

I’m a gay woman and I’m cool with it. More women the better.

With syntax highlighting and everything. I suppose that’s an OF niche you could sell. Subscriptions come with programming support alongside feet pics.

Sure, a lot of school devices don’t have great controls though. I played Minecraft on the school computers. A good chunk of the devices that kids are using to comment on podcasts or whatever, a user will be able to run their own executables on. Some school computers explicitly allow this so they can teach kids to code.
