So far, I'm very happy with this man. A great replacement for our last trainwreck of a social justice PM we had.

Wouldn't trade Carney for anyone else.

Yep,and people are loving the ai slop. It's horrible as well... when each instrument is isolated... oof. The future is not looking good.

I'm finding all Americans distasteful these days. They have a taint these days.

AI now offers to post my ads for me on Kijiji. I provide pictures and it has been accurate on price, condition, category and description. I have a lot of shit to sell and was dreading it, but this use removes the biggest barrier for me getting it done.

Even helped me figure out some things I was struggling to find online for reference. Saved me at least an hour of tedium yesterday.

Excellent use case.

Okay guys, here's your chance! I am in possession of a 15 year old laptop. What Linux OS should I put in it? (lemmy.world)

It's been about 8 years since I gave Linux a real chance. I have an Sony VAIO PCG-3D3l Laptop which was abandoned by it's previous owner.

I have no real plans for it, except to install Linux, and if I get comfortable with it, it's probably what I will end up doing my banking on, because as much as I love Windows, I can't say I ever feel secure using Windows.

What are your recommendations? I consider myself an advanced user with most forms of technology (Have an A+ certification that's older than this laptop), but not on the level most of the people reading this are probably on.
