Hold my briefcase

That’s one product, does that really justify OPs remark “After years of pushing their proprietary and closed solutions”?

Who are you quoting? And which proton solutions aren’t open source?

Is red shirt guys name sunk cost by any chance?

I’m saying not making each other miserable should be the norm. Being courteous and decent to each other should be the norm. Which includes greeting each other. No need to go overboard with donuts and the killing kind of kindness.

You’re saying things that don’t match up with what I wrote. Not sure why that is.

I don’t know about bringing donuts or the other reply about killing them with kindness. Both would be too much for someone like me.

Like, am I obligated to bring donuts now? Are we now caught up in a perpetual donut bringing cycle until it becomes the new normal and there’s donuts all the time?

And killing them with kindness is just overdoing it. I’d not feel comfortable.

Can we not just be courteous and decent to each other at this place of -work-? Don’t get me wrong. If you’re having a great day, tell me about it and share the joy. If you’re having a shitty day, I’ll be there to listen. But on the regular, let’s just not make each other miserable.

That is a collection of pieces of media though, op asked about a single piece.

It’s a scenario that Neal Stephenson covers in his book “Fall; or, Dodge in Hell”. Interesting read, although it’s one of my least favorite books of him and I liked the first book in the “Dodge” series a lot better.

I wonder what the power consumption of getting to the information in the summary is as a whole when using a regular search, clicking on multiple links, finding the right information and extracting the relevant parts. Including the expenditures of energy by the human performing the task and everything that surrounds the activity.

There are real concerns surrounding AI, I wonder if this is truly one of them or if it’s just poorly researched ragebait.

But first, a word from our sponsor.

Now you’re just lobbing together people who want to distinguish what exactly it is that needs saving with climate change deniers, conspiracy theorists and antivaxxers. Seems to me you just like boxes, really big boxes, in which to put in all the thing you dislike/disagree with or whatever.

You don’t care that I disagree with almost everything on your list except for 2 things that I think are really important to be specific about.

• “Saving the planet”, which I’ve explained
• ”You drink water, so you’re part of the problem”, which is kind of true if you extrapolate and include it in your decision on if to have children.

Be my guest, I don’t care enough to continue this conversation beyond this point with a hammer that’s just looking for nails.

Ok, let the downvotes come but I’m one of those people. And the point I’m trying to make is that the planet and life itself will survive and probably even be better off without humans.

Just look at what happened after the extinction event that killed the dinosaurs. Humans are causing the next extinction event and afterwards life will just start fresh again.

So no, saving the planet is not the goal. Saving humanity and most of all other current life is. And if that’s what you want to accomplish then that’s what you should talk about, specifically.

Just give them 10 lines at a time from the 500 lines one. Is this how micromanagement was born?

Maybe you should read up on coping mechanisms. And maybe empathy in general.

What are you smoking? GOG Galaxy doesn’t even have a Linux client. In fact it has been one of the most requested features for years and nothing has happened.

Edit: it’s also the reason I stopped buying from them when I got my Steam Deck.
