  • That's why you let them think they lost a bunch of money for a few moments before giving it all back and telling them you love them, but that not everyone loves them in the same way and that real bankers won't be so kind.

  • I think this may not be a bad way to teach kids the dangers of compound interest, but only if you refund the excess interest afterwards because actually tricking your kid into draining their bank account in interest is a dick move.

  • I think it's going good to go home and get a new car and ride the bike and get a ride home and take it easy and take care of it and take care and take care and get some sleep and sleep and relax for me and you can go to sleep and sleep well too if you want to come home to help with me to work on the bed if you want it to work with you and you can come over for me to come over for a little bit if I don't have a chance for -

    apples and eggs for the night and then I'll get them in my mouth to you when I come home for you if you don't get it or you don't have a lot of money and then you will get a hold on it for the first one and I will get it for you to get the rest for you to do it for them to be done for the next few days and they will get it done before they get there so we can get it and then they can go back and see it and get them done and get the money to get it to you and then you can get the -

    Bepsi and then go to the store to get the money for you and your family and you will be there for you to go to the house and get the money and you can get a hold up for me to go to your place and get the money for it and get the money for the money and pay it for it to be a little more than a little bit of the way to get you in the back of the house to get it to you to be honest to you and your family and I can go to the store to go out and go to the bank to see if you can go back to work and get a ride home if that's ok if you want me and I don't -

    Gboard suggestions are very bizarre.

  • Well, I would just keep watching without signing in, then. Losing out on recommendations would be mildly annoying, but I could still access my subscription feed by being signed in on one window and copying video links to another one where I'm not.

  • Those are both solutions that only work sometimes and for the former, you have no way of knowing if it worked unless you actually listen to the result. Having to download the podcast twice is also rather undesirable.

  • Detecting the ads directly would be hard. The real way to do this would be to mark segments of *non-*advertisement and then send the information necessary to identify them to the client so that it can scan through the downloaded audio file and remove anything that shouldn't be there. The algorithm would still be pretty complicated, but feasible.

  • It's not even just the technical barriers. Lemmy has technical barriers and still works fine. Matrix is soooooo fucking SSSSSSLLLLLLOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW. A simple chat program that takes longer to load a channel than it takes for my aging PC to boot an AAA game is simply unusable. This is 2024, not 1994.

  • I appreciate the enthusiasm. I really do love Linux conceptually and I think it can provide a great environment for certain games (Hollow Knight runs great), software dev (as long as you don't need visual studio), web browsing, etc. My laptop has an HDD and came with Win10 pre-installed. It was so fucking slow that I thought I got scammed on the hardware end. 10 minutes to boot, another 5-10 stuck at the desktop waiting for something simple like a browser to load, zero performance in games and unfathomably slow UI in all applications. I installed Linux and all of those problems just fucking vanished. 2 mins to boot, a clean and responsive UI, and maybe a minute or so at most to get a browser open.

    The problem is that the annoying bullshit AAA devs do to their games makes it unreasonably difficult or impossible to get them running on Linux. I do hope some sort of solution is found, as I'd love to be running full Linux in 5-10 years.

  • I've actually done a bit of distrohopping (including Mint, currently on Pop_OS) on my laptop and I do know how, in theory, to play games on Linux that don't natively support Linux. The problem is that Lutris just doesn't work for the game I want to play. I can't get past Blizzard's launcher because the login button just doesn't appear. It seems to be a common problem and the only fix I could find (can't remember what it was exactly) just didn't do anything for me. I've also met someone who did successfully play it on Linux and they said that they couldn't play certain modes because it made the game really unstable and they crashed all the time.

    At best, I might go for a dual boot and do my main stuff on Linux with just games on Windows if I get a PC upgrade, but for now, I can't see any major advantage to only partially switching that would outweigh having to go back and forth as well as reinstalling a bunch of shit.
