I'd be surprised if anyone has. You need to actually use a language to learn it properly. But an app is a good start and supplement.

The principal is not necessarily any smarter than the teachers. Often it's the opposite.

Kinda agree, but the consoles already are alternatives to Windows. Don't really see what's super special about the Steam Deck, tbh.

Surprised Microsoft hasn't made some sort of DRM to prevent Xbox studio games from being played on Proton, though.

Well, Intel tried with OneApi. As for AMD they go 5 minutes between every time they shoot themselves in the foot. It's unbelievable to watch.

If it wasn't Trump I'd agree. However, getting Palantir involved sounds less like unifying databases than creating a social credit score-kind of system, complete with political opinions and other kinds of sensitive data

That's vile

I also wonder how much of it is RADV vs AMDGPU drivers. Wonder what the result would have been if the Deck used the AMDGPU drivers instead. Saying it is just "the magic of Linux" papers over a lot.

I think it's what Valve has branded their fork of Wine. It translates win32 calls to Linux ones, and DirectX to Vulkan. Probably some other stuff too idk

The USA.

The Witness (2016) is a really good puzzler, as is The Talos Principle (2014) (it's gotten a UE5 remaster now).

Try using Mastodon and Bluesky at the same time. Bluesky is a twitter clone and perfect replacement. Mastodon is an excellent micro-blogging platform, but has none of the features people actually liked about twitter. People love recommendation algorithms and quote tweet dunking. That's the core of what it's all about. Mastodon is glorified RSS, which is great if you miss those days.

This is so great and so bad at the same time. We're gonna have to go back to using tar and shit for things we actually want to last. That's not going to be cheap...

Enshitification is a consequence of legalized dumping. Companies are allowed to dump loss-making profucts and services on the market until they achieve dominance, then they squeeze the users that now have nowhere else to go. In startup-lingo this is blitzscaling followed by monetization. Our competition laws are 30 years behind the curve on this stuff.

Worth noting that the y in "ye" is not actually a y: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_articles#Ye_form

Tldr: "Ye" is pronounced identically to "the". The "th" sound used to have its own letter that somehow got to be written "y" until everyone decided that was quite silly.

Depends what's in the landfill. Anything that rots is definitely the business of the rest of the neighborhood. But if it doesn't smell, make noise, or gets blown ower property lines, then yes, it's none but the owner's business.

Ollama is apparently going for lock-in and incompatibility. They're forking llama.cpp for some reason, too. I'd use GPT4All or llama.cpp directly. They support Vulkan, too, so your GPU will just work.

Now we have weight loss drugs, though. Those are apparently unbelievably effective

Is this a distraction? Is he currently purging the military and security forces of disloyal officers or something? Is there an attack on judicial independence atm? Wtfis going on?

This is up to you, to be frank. You have to apply to jobs, negotiate and haggle. Your current employer will never give you a raise unless you have an offer from somewhere else, and even then they often won't out of some weird principle. You gotta do a bit of job hopping
