The government subsidizes corn, so there’s an incentive to use that corn. There are tariffs on imported sugar so it’s cheaper to use HFCS

But slowly, I filled my home server with whatever CUDA capable cards I have and it’s fine for SD, but I found llama way too slow. I rented a dual A2000 instance for a couple weeks and it was bearable, but still not great.

Looks like ChatGPT trained their models better, probably before sites could take measures to prevent that. Gemini however was thrown together by throwing money and people at the problem in order to catch up and not be left behind. Which from what I’ve read seems to be their biggest fear.

My Pixel 9 has AI everywhere but I certainly wouldn’t pay the price they want to continue “using” Gemini after my trial.

There are both private trackers and indexers specifically for audiobooks. Find them. The biggest tracker for it has an application process, read the rules and you’ll get an invite. Usenet… I can’t even remember how I got an invite

It makes so much sense, ever since reading it I can’t see the biblical story any other way.

God yes, you can clearly see from the background scene that while at different tables they can clearly see each other. All this bickering is madness

I have a friend in Portugal who uses semaglutide that’s compounded by a local pharmacy for about 35euros a month. I, in Canada still pay $230/month for Ozempic. For $120/month I could take a 2.5mg dose similar to Wegovy which in Canada right now is $400ish

Its the same drug, just no prefilled pen. All these pharmacies that offer it in Europe aren’t accessible from North America without a vpn, and then once accessible refuse to ship to Canada.

Ah my last reinstall was because of important news I didn’t read.

I have Calm (https://naturalcalm.ca/) which is raspberry flavored magnesium citrate. Get it at Costco.

I did and he was completely useless, he prescribed me baclofen which I take like tictacs and they do jack shit. He was out of ideas so I googled it and found out about magnesium. Got some “Calm” which is magnesium citrate and no more insane pain.

I have really severe Charlie horses and started potassium when I heard this, it helped slightly but magnesium is what did the trick for me.

Sometimes I’ll get the trainer so I can chill and feel like a badass. I could “Git gud” or better yet ill take infinite ammo and no reload and relaxingly kill everything

YouTube started recommending Outer Wilds videos, intermixed with my Minecraft: Create mod videos and I was very confused what mod it was

Yes yes, vim good, nano bad. And rather than have discourse on the matter I’ll call you all fascists and claim you support genocide. Definitely an adult thing to do, good job you.

Nothing, there is nothing wrong with nano. There are what I will call vim purists who think using anything but vim is sacrilege. I’ve been using nano, and it’s predecessor Pico forever and while I can use vim if I need to, I don’t hate myself enough to do so.

Nvidia, wayland issues aside is still the superior card 9/10 times. This isn’t a gimmick to get people to buy Nvidia, most of us will buy it anyway. During my last purchase as I pondered over whether I should get an amd and move over to wayland or an Nvidia card that would allow me to locally generate images of whatever I wanted. It was a pretty easy decision, I’ll stick to X11 and Nvidia until the end. Stuff like this is just a bonus

Yea, half the conversion guides I read yesterday mentioned reinstalling grub, I don’t dislike systemd boot personally but I just thought it was funny

Dunno, I used to run 3 monitors until I got an ultra wide, now I’m down to 2. Never had any issues getting the displays to work in either. It was mostly graphical glitches and screen tearing that drove me back to X11.

I thought Endeavour was just Arch with an installer. Conversion is as simple as swapping repos and removing the eos-hooks package apparently, and depending who you ask: cleansing systemd from your system.

I just switched to Endeavour from Manjaro when I upgraded my hardware, and every update changes the default kernel on the selection screen. I go in and edit the file to change the default from lts to the latest kernel, and the next update switches it right back. It’s maddening, i could do Arch, and I’ve done it on other machines I just don’t have the time for that level of customization. I already waste enough time tinkering.
