My fiance always tells me how much she hates me complaining about things and not doing anything to improve it, and i think that’s a fair point. She has had to continuously tend for herself, fighting health care, education system and society to get by. And that really made me understand that complaining without doing anything is both priveleged and stupid. I have more respect towards others than trying to force Linux down their throats, but just complaining and ignoring a solution, even if all the circumstances line up perfectly, is just dumb. Complaining is justified, not doing anything or pretending you can’t is not. That being said, the Linux community is obnoxious and, in many cases, has the worst case of superiority complex, although i do believe we have gotten way better at that and are way more welcoming now than before.

Think I saw them respond that they were aiming for last half of 2026 to 2027 for the new phones.

I know, i know, reddit ass but still, heres. a thread discussing it with VOD clips linked. TW tho…

Kik and Kick, different platforms. Great naming, i know 🙃

Id find a better source than me for this but from what ive been told a Kick streamer got repeatedly abused when failing challenges or games during his streams. The abusers also streamed and took suggestions from chat on how to abuse him. Kick also promoted their stream. The abused streamer was seen multiplex time panicking or having breakdowns over what the abusers were going to do. Allegedly one of the last things seen was the abusers smashing a glass bottle in his head.

I do not know how much of this is true or made up. Would be very thankful for sources and corrections. I just know Kick is a dogshit platform heavily promoting gamblers on the front page, so this wouldnt surprise me.

If this does what it says on the box its huge

This is it. Theyve been going after encrypted messaging apps for a long time, ig they realized theyre not getting anywhere and figured to just hit it head on.

The internet has always circumvented this kind of shit, just look at TPB. The ones who are getting really beaten up by this is the older generations and the ones lacking technical know-how.

Im not even in the UK and im still going to cancel due to this. Thanks spotify, fuck you :)

What do you even mean. You are contradicting yourself. “We shouldnt blame AI or the companies because they cant be controlled” but the companies and AI itself is supposed to handle the safety regulations? What type of regulations do you seriously expect them to restrict themselves with if they know there is no way they cant guarantee safety? The legislation must come outside of the business and restrict the industry from releasing half-baked ass-garbage that is potentially harmful to the public.

Are you deadass saying we should let ChatGPT itself and the companies that ship it form its own safety guidelines? Because that went really well with the Church Rock incident…

🤡

Tell me a country which has good AI regulations and proper safety regulations for applications of AI then?

Except there are no guidelines or safety regulations in place for AI…

Why does he give severe villain aura?

“Ugrh guys, we dont know how this machine works so we should definetly install it in every corporation, home and device. If it kills someone we shouldnt be held liable for our product.”

Not seeing the irony in this is beyond me. Is this a troll account?

If you cant guarantee the safety of a product, limit or restrict its use cases or provide safety guidelines or regulations you should not sell the product. It is completely fair to blame the product and the ones who sell/manifacture it.

Kinda clears up his motives when he doesnt even know the name of the countrys, even the worlds, largest company. Well fucking done, Mr. Clownident.

Very true, they do ofc exist there. Nobara just gives you a first-time install-wizard which lets you one-click condigure it. I was more thinking of a use-case as OPs where you wont need to tinker too much after the initial installation.

But yes, basically all distros do have the drivers in their package repos, so any would work.

Dunno how nvidia drivers are for manually installing these days, know there was som jank before.

Im running Nobara and they got ez driver setup for both Nvidia and AMD GPUs. Either way I think you’ll be fine no matter what distro you use.

Personally I like Nobara because it comes with a bunch of kernel patches, fixes and gaming utilities pre-installed.

Sorry for not being able to answer until now. From what i can summarize a dGPU seems useless for my case. It also seems like a 11th gen i5 is the way. I wonder, does RAM speeds matter? If i can get a mini or micro ATX board and hook up an i5 with a good amount of DDR4 RAM i think i can get away cheaply. Will probably start off with a small M.2 and see if i can hook up my HDD later.

Also which i5 would you suggest? I havent been on intel since my 4690K so i have no idea whats “good” or “enough”.
