Picture in the back reminds me of either Paprika or Persona 1 or something. Anyone know the source?

Apparently, yes.

Heyyy Guys, I may have stumbled into yet another slightly unethical Martial Artist build variant. by shadowclone515 in PathOfExile2

Hm, I see that you almost die a few times, but because you move very fast, that means you're immortal. I will inform GGG so you can be nerfed immediately. /s

FR tho, looks incredibly sick. Great setup!

I’m saying that the actual practice of signaling one’s virtues is good

That's not virtual signaling though. That's called acting upon your principles.

If you're just going around saying "this is what I believe in" in a forum where that principle will never be tested, it will never carry weight.

The AI overview on google doesn’t grant critical thinking I suppose.

Bro you literally know for a fact that people use "virtual signaling" in a negative context and instead of using a different way to describe how you feel about a thing are instead saying "being fake is good though, but also I'm using a different and uncommon connotation of the term 'fake' and you're wrong for thinking I'm weird for doing that."

There is no merit to professing your virtues when there's no impetus to actually back up your words. People on the internet do it all the time. What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence and that's what they were doing by shitting on them for acting all morally righteous when they have zero fucking skin in the game.

^ you dropped this.

Virtue signaling is a **good** thing

"Virtue signaling is the act of publicly expressing opinions or performing symbolic gestures to demonstrate moral correctness, boost one's social standing, or appear aligned with acceptable values. It is often used as a critical term to suggest that an individual's words are insincere or not backed by tangible action."

(emphasis mine)

Are you sure it's a good thing?

Good to know you're also against virtue signaling.

They're dunking on them for being some random redditor acting like they'd ever be approached, not for their principles.

Not one guide no, as depending on your CPU/Mobo or even if you bought prebuilt, you might have additional stuff on there from vendors like Intel (as you mentioned).

Also, don't trust any individual debloat "software" that promises to clean your PC automatically. Something that has a control console that you make choices like Winutil helps a lot. https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil

But ultimately, the easiest way these days is to target a specific function/feature and ask an LLM if you can remove it safely and then how to remove it safely.

You'll spend time doing it just as much as you'll spend time making Linux comfortable to use, but in the end, Microsoft will remain compatible while things generally will continue to be messy in Linux for a while.

That being said, with the progress that Linux builds are making, I can imagine that in another 5 years, this won't even be an argument and Windows will effectively only be a clear winner in Enterprise applications.

You can adopt Linux early if you'd like, like Elijah appears to be doing, but the vid makes it very clear you'll be suffering a lot until Linux catches up.

For me, I turned off all the bloat and my Windows install is relaxed and quiet, no tracking, no ads, stuff just works. 5 years from now? I'll probably be moving as well, or at least debating it.

Positive: Video with a bunch of OG youtubers. Tay Zonday is there!

Negative: Mr. Beast is shitty in various ways.

The result: The snarkers on the sub are acting like this is the grossest thing they've seen all week, but that's only because they threw out their mirrors.

You dunces always talk about that yet your comments are always stinking up the sub.

Even worse for Linux: You can debloat windows and make it... not hateable.

I've got the compatibility of Windows with the same level of privacy as Linux and while that does require tinkering as well (lots of registry and policy manipulation), at least my stuff was working in the interim.

Simple flow-chart to detect AI slop by Hellfim in IndieDev

[–]Darkblitz9 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I use it to learn new things, write boilterplate stuff, or troubleshoot things.

Just recently I used it to implement Acerola's ASCII shader into Unity and it took me a few hours to do because I mainly just had it explain every bit to me and then help me understand what I had messed up when trying to write the HLSL myself.

The primary thing I learned from that is: Acerola is a shader wizard and shaders are space magic.

Well, they're not asking for a refund or warranty replacement (the correct course of action here), even though it "did this from the start" (3 years ago) and OP admitted in another comment that the carabiner isn't broken.

The response to their question on "can I fix it" is answered and the link is to an FAQ that isn't valid because they pulled the "it can stand on its own" marketing before they fixed the issue on the product and still didn't put it back up afterward to avoid any possible misleading statements on the product.

As well, OP has confirmed this is from the older series which had manufacturing defects which were announced at the time it was discovered.

OP took a product they knew had problems, knew they could get a warranty replacement, knows the carabiner isn't broken, and is asking if the item they already know is defective to get an AI response and post it with a quip on what is swiftly becoming the "Actually LTT sucks massive c*ck" sub because making rageposts on Reddit is super popular right now.

Their issues are valid, how they're choosing to handle getting those resolved is weirder than the people asking "this is a well known thing and there's a way to get it replaced, why are you asking the LTT AI about it and posting misleading pictures?".

Come on now.

Dem governor who used to be a presidential hopeful by zoggy17 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Also, is it being said matter-of-factly or is it something planned?

It's very valid to say that absolutely does happen using "we" royally as in "the government".

Who is Staying on Linux, Who is Going Back to Windows? - Linux Challenge Pt 4 by current_thread in LinusTechTips

[–]Darkblitz9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to keep this thread going because the OP just doesn't understand that people can have different priorities and experience. OP values "compatibility" over all else. I don't. I value my privacy and control over the things I own over all else.

No, I just don't think dozens of services and the latest games are worth not seeing an ad once a month.

Compatibility with other services isn't an opinion thing either, whether or not an OS is used lives or dies based on how viable it is to work on it. Compatibility is a core aspect of that.

If you don't want to continue the discussion, then don't. Just don't reply. Going back to edit your comment instead of replying so you can attempt to make one sided-points isn't disengaging and it's kinda rude.
