  • If you don’t need to host but can run locally, GPT4ALL is nice, has several models to download and plug and play with different purposes and descriptions, and doesn’t require a GPU.

  • Censorship is getting out of hand
  • Huh, I’ve only heard business logic before.

  • Quarterly is very common. It’s absurd.

  • What are some excellent YouTube channels you recommend?
  • Throwing BPS.Space on here, more rockets fun and genuinely good engineering fail and fail again until you succeed rocket madness.

  • Boeing factory workers accept contract and end 7-week strike. (38% pay raise over 4 years)
  • I’m glad the union has a majority in agreement on this step. But Boeing is going to regret not having any long-term skill retention when they all leave for greener pastures because there’s no incentive to stay.

  • Patient gamers, what are your favorite OSTs?
  • Undertale, Celeste, Katamari, Syonara Wild Hearts, Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid, Persona 4G, Persona 5R

  • Did you try stripping out everything in the launch options except ‘--skip-launcher’? I tried your command and it didn’t launch but then tried just the skip option and it worked again.

  • Skip the useless launcher. Set the steam shortcut to run the game exe directly, it doesn’t need anything special, been playing it fine on Debian and arch with both nvidia and amd gpus as well as my steam deck.

  • What is the first graphics card you got?
  • Technically, an ATI Radeon 9800 as that was my first custom built computer in 2003. However, the ATI Rage IIc was the gpu inside my first desktop computer, an iMac G3 in 1998. But the first one I used was the VGC 12-bpp palette graphics of the Apple IIgs, where I was first introduced to computer games and upgrading the accelerator cards and memory to play new games with more demanding requirements in 1994.

  • Autism is spiking in young adults, study finds
  • Another case of Left Handed liberation.

    Edit: It seems my half-jest comment wasn’t well-received, haha. To clarify further, the percentage of left-handed individuals worldwide has remained relatively stable at around 12% for decades. However, it wasn’t always this way, and it wasn’t that long ago either, if you examine graphs showing the population of left-handed people over time. This isn’t because the frequency of left-handedness has increased; rather, it’s because our data collection and reporting on this aspect has improved significantly. As culturally left-handed individuals have stopped being persecuted for various archaic reasons, primarily religious ones, our understanding of left-handedness has also improved. Consequently, it’s not surprising that the number of individuals with autism (or any other condition) is “increasing” as we continue to refine and better understand the characteristics associated with autism. There’s lots more factors here, similar to the spike and subsequent decrease of lead-related afflictions as the world successfully moved away from leaded gasoline.

  • Well, it IS ridiculous
  • You just need a little Tenacity.

  • Is it offensive for me as a man to dress as a male version of a female fictional character for Halloween?'
  • It’s just about playing the character as the persons’ own gender identity. Most common, of course, being video game characters as opposite genders. So like, lady master chief or what if zelda was a man, etc. But I’ve seen an androgynous/enby kratos that was super well done! Gender-bent / gender-bending is just the term that has stuck for that.

  • JD Vance Roasted After Unbelievable Claim About “Normal Gay Guy Vote”
  • Well he did already have a run at it. Maybe we are getting lucky and he might lose, go away, and just be a skidmark on history instead of a complete shit pants situation. I’m choosing to believe the time travelers who stopped the assassination attempts from succeeding are just making sure we have skid marks instead of shit pants.

  • How do adults find happiness in life?
  • No real difference, all groups are different in their own way. The core group, the group around that core. Some say best friends.

  • How do adults find happiness in life?
  • Good friends, core friends. Good memories. Doing good things, helping. Toss in a cup of stability and a couple hobbies. If you’re practicing or just recently discovered practicing adhd, another dozen hobbies and a therapist/counselor.

  • Key Promoter X for NeoVim?

    I have been using a plugin recently in Rider that basically hooks most features of the app to notifications that teach me the current keyboard shortcut for said feature. It has some customization options such as needing a threshold of usages before prompting, reminders, etc. It’s even gamified a little bit by tracking how many times you successfully used the shortcuts and how much time you estimatedly saved.

    I really like this plugin and I’m wondering if anyone knows of a similar plugin for NeoVim? I have been exclusively using NeoVim at home for terminal file edits to help learn it and I’m getting better slowly but I just figured maybe I could accelerate this with something helpful like that.

    If this doesn’t exist, does anyone have any offhand resources for getting started with NeoVim plugin development?
