I still feel confident I can nail Gens 1-4.

If only I wasn't such a moron with trying to navigate around Nvidia drivers and Optimus, this sounds fantastic.

I have yet to figure all of this out and get to a smooth and stable state.

Ahoy, guys.

Be the change you want to see in this world, don't let Thomas Edison continue to shit on everything from his grave.

Are we talking something like NixOS?

Unpopular as advertised, sure. But man, what an absolute weapons-grade bad take, with beginning to end poor reasoning.

Unfortunately this seems to be my experience and perspective too. White guys who think this strongly that we're victimized or disenfranchised make me very suspicious of what the rest of their worldview entails.

Sure, I can appreciate that in cases where it feels particularly forced or inorganic. However, to the extent that the tech/software world aligns with academia or leadership, it's such a common trope that white guys are very predominant in these positions of authority and conduct themselves like this to women constantly. It doesn't feel inorganic I guess because of that frame of awareness.

So I do agree that mentioning race like this is sure to be received poorly, but I struggle to weigh that aspect of her post in the focused magnitude that others here as significant compared to her treatment.

Thanks for the clarification. This is how I find out that I'm old.

I'm very sorry, but what is ITT and baww?

White dude here. It's super easy to read something like this without feeling disenfranchised or bullied. Sure we can do better to avoid it, but that should not at all be the main takeaway from this testimonial. Why aren't you angry at the common propensity for women in places of academic and professional authority being looked down upon and disrespected like this? This is super common.

Probably an old man yelling at cloud sentiment, but I hated them from the very beginning.

As someone who LOVES warp (despite not being crazy about requiring login), this is fantastic news.

Yeah this is never a good sign.

That being said, perhaps because I got into a couple.of their podcasts, but I like a bunch of people at IGN. How come you're not a fan?

+1 on the "don't engage him or this" gang.

I know, right? But I suppose their reasoning is that my ads are also blocked across the rest of their ecosystem, my subscription isn't covering those losses.

Still though, a model that requires that customers look at something they don't want to nor will engage with smells like failure.

I can't remember what video I watched that talked about the unsustainabilty and likely the late stages of an ad revenue driven internet content model, and this situation reeks of that.

I don't know what new paradigm might replace it if this is the case, but the current model feels like it's absolutely failing.

So I have YouTube premium but also have ad-blocker, for the first time yesterday I was noticing absolutely abysmal speeds on YouTube and I suspect this is why. I thought my computer was starting to shit the bed initially it was so brutal.

One can dream.

Smh my head

That number is way too low, we ought to be at more than that right now.
