Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You think you can identify AI because you only take into consideration the AI that you're able to identify.

Every time you get tricked into thinking AI is an actual person, you don't realize it so you don't factor it in.

I swear, a lot of the AI hate these days really outs how ignorant people are about the world they live and how illogically they go about obtaining or verifying information.

I'm going in the opposite direction.

I'm recognizing how much we've been herded like sheep just to make rich people richer, and I'm fighting back in the ways that I can.

Nvidia user here. The criticism of Nvidia support on Linux is always blown way out of proportion by AMD fanboys.

The only issue I ever have is needing to prepend prime-run to each application I want to launch with the dedicated GPU.

I've had significantly worse problems with AMD drivers, so much so that it really opened my eyes to how stable things were on the green team.

I'm not saying you should get one over the other, but you shouldn't let fanboys dictate your decision. They will try to do so without admitting they're fanboys, so we have admit it for them.

I highly recommend getting a gaming laptop. You can buy a 4070 lenovo laptop at Walmart for $1k (at least in the US.)

Otherwise, check out https://old.reddit.com/r/LaptopDeals/ until you find something that fits your needs and budget. (sorry for linking to the other site)

You should use bluetooth controllers instead of ones that take a dongle simply because the dongle is unnecessary. Playstation controllers work well, but they're expensive and I haven't been able to find a 3rd party variant that works properly.

I also recommend getting a wireless keyboard + mouse combo.

metallica are honestly a bunch of babies.

Yeah. She doesn't see the value in getting entertainment for free while there are starving children in the world.

She's only interested in getting brownie points from other consumerists.

Might be a good idea to pirate and then contact the artists about setting up donation channels.

Publishers are obsolete.

[–] gradual 1 points 9 hours ago

Absolutely.

Piracy is a tool to fight back against the ruling class and help reduce the disparity in wealth.

That's why useful idiots have been conditioned to hate it or only use it for 'privacy' purposes.

670 is still better than nothing.

Hopefully it can find its way to someone else's home on the cheap and still give them plenty of years of fun.
