Another Anthropic stunt…It doesn’t have a mind or soul, it’s just an LLM, manipulated into this outcome by the engineers.

I love it when the Turn-off Adblocker prompt has a, “I will not turn off AdBlock or I will not support you” text. I click the fuck out of that. Every ad has a chance of being a malicious one that hijacks my control of the browser (these are really prevalent on mobile).

I’ve always had a stove top kettle, there was no reason to boil water in the microwave for tea. Up until a few years ago, I did not have a microwave. I prefer the even temperature of water boiled in a kettle.

I do! Being reasonably accurate as possible when typing is something that I value! It helps, as sometimes I am a goose on the loose, and don’t proofread my sentences before posting. The obvious errors are at least caught before they become final.

They are flooding the zone, there are countless pro-AI generated content instances. It’s like playing whack-a-mole, I often downvote obvious and human-altered slop (it’s all slop to me). Unfortunately, there are going to be images that have positive votes despite the general dislike of said AI-slop, especially because I tend to block those slop instances these days. Naturally, most of it is objectifying women (something I don’t want to see anyway) so those will naturally get a lot of votes because people weren’t thinking with the right head.

Whimsical

EndeavourOS, CachyOS, and archinstall do lower the barrier to entry for Arch itself, which means that there may be really fresh users (who should probably not be on Arch) using it. As wild as it sounds, those Arch and its distros get recommended to new users that aren’t technically inclined.

For the seasoned Arch users, non-critical breaks don’t feel as serious, since they can fix him. It’s just the new users wandering in a dark place without light (a place they shouldn’t be encouraged to wander, without knowledge), that these problems are serious or can be made worse by said user misunderstanding how to apply fixes. Or prevent issues in the future.

I agree that there are likely very few serious breakages not caused by a user happening on Arch, just the potential of them happening (anything made by human hands occasionally will suffer this).

In my time of using Linux, to my knowledge, I can’t recall a kernel panic. I’ve had my boot record break, graphics drivers simply not want to load (that was fixable, just annoying), or GNOME Display Manager crashout hard related to a memory leak. I use Ubuntu and Fedora KDE these days, at most there is an occasional bug that doesn’t cause major issues. Just little annoyances that can be solved with an upcoming update or using the terminal.

That’s the thing, just because there is a breakage doesn’t mean there isn’t a way to fix it. It just becomes a cycle of breakage and repair…Arch goes through cycles of being temporarily broken and back to working just fine. This is merely the nature of rolling release (part of the reason why I am not a rolling release distro).

Naturally, if one has the skill to fix Arch, it would be of no real concern. It might be annoying, but it seems that you can overcome those temporary disruptions caused by introduced bugs

Highly accurate, but, even if you fix him…An update will break him, as Arch Linux moves fast as hell!

You’re welcome! Yeah, I’ve been in that boat before, reestablishing a healthier connection to games. Games to pass the time in a way nothing else can, especially if you have a dopamine/serotonin deprived brain…It might feel like he can’t stop at the moment, eventually, with gentle, consistent, and firm effort it will be possible. Getting him to the point where he can associate time passing pleasantly with you and other people in his life; this will go a long way of repairing not only your relationship, but, provide him with stronger interpersonal connections.

I feel that you need to gently, but firmly, state your feelings on this matter to him. Reassure him that you don’t want him to completely stop playing games, just that you would enjoy having one on one time with him for at least a few hours a day. As part of a relationship, is reinforcing that connection which was initially formed by dating, and building upon it. To me, his fixation of gaming screams escapism…As it is easier to avoid dealing with discomfort than to face it head-on (I speak from experience on that matter). He’s not a bad dude, like you said, he is fighting (or avoiding) serious internal struggles.

Microsoft is literally scorching earth in their Xbox Gaming Division…Gotta chase those short term profits, I guess. 😡

More bad news from Xbox, I was hoping they’d cut Phil Spencer lose instead…They need a brand-new lead to make Xbox awesome again. I can’t say that I am surprised, though, as this game has been in dev for 7 years. However, there should’ve been something that could be salvaged and made into a viable game.

ROFL I can’t spot the difference either…This is valid.

Oh no, this game is going to bomb so freaking hard…I can’t wait for the shitstorm that is going to go down over this!
