How quickly he changed his tune when he realized that earlier tact was not helping him win voters. How little confidence that gives that he stands for anything or can be trusted to stand by his promises to voters if/when he gets criticized while trying to implement them.

I’m beyond tired of the attempts to manufacture consent for his presidential run.

You can’t un-veto the bills you didn’t sign Gavin. Walking that back now just shows that you ether didn’t believe it and were willing to throw people who voted for you under the bus for brownie points with conservatives, or you do believe it and are just lying about your convictions now because you see that saying the quite part out loud is hurting your chance at greater power.

Ether way, it shows you can not be trusted with the presidency. That what you say in public has no bearing on how you govern, and thus voters can not trust you when you say you will govern in their interest.

Read: pete had a meltdown when popular media depicted the millitary in anyway other than his prescribed image.

Honestly if they didn’t stand up for us, but weren’t promoting candidates that are actively trying to throw us under the bus, that would be a good start.

That’s like the Yankees trying to woo Redsox fans.

it’s actually a pretty small number of people who believe such things with genuine conviction, but there are a lot of influence and astroturfing campaigns that tend to boost those views on other platforms. Lemmy is frankly too small and fringe to get targeted by such efforts, and without that pressure, such opinions tend to get downed out.

It depends on the type of productivity TBH. Like, sure some productivity use cases need CUDA, but a lot of productivity use cases are just using the cards as graphics cards. The places where you need CUDA are real, but not ubiquitous.

And “this is my personal computer I play games on, but also the computer I do work on, and that work needs CUDA specifically” is very much an edge case.

I’d say in general, the advantages of Nvidia cards are fairly niche even on windows. Like, multi frame generation (fake frames) and upscaling are kind of questionable in terms of value add most of the time, and most people probably aren’t going to be doing any ML stuff on their computer.

AMD in general offers better performance for the money, and that’s doubly so with Nvidia’s lackluster Linux support. AMD has put the work in to get their hardware running well on Linux, both in terms of work from their own team and being collaborative with the open source community.

I can see why some people would choose Nvidia cards, but I think, even on windows, a lot of people who buy them probably would have been better off with AMD. And outside of some fringe edge cases, there is no good reason to choose them when building or buying a computer you intend to mainly run Linux on.

Critasism must be leveled at both, and the only criticism that means anything to a party that matters is “I will not vote for them” regardless of the truthfulness of that statement. The only influence we have over the government is who we vote for.

To say you would vote for one party no matter what means you have no influence over their platform and tacitly accept everything they do, meaning you have basically given up any influence over the government in the same way as if you never voted at all. Demanding that others do that is insisting that people not use the one influence they have over the government.

The really funny part is that they keep trying it and it keeps not working, but clearly the problem is that they didn’t do it hard enough the last 3 elections.

If people say “yes I’ll still vote for them if they run an openly homophobic person.” Then the party has no reason not to.

Regardless of what people’s actual decisions is on voting day; It is imperative to say one wouldn’t vote for them over these issues. It needs to be made clear that “not being as bad” is a losing strategy.

Insisting that people must commit to voting for them, regardless of their platform, and calling them an idiot if they say no, is basically giving the party tacit support to drop protecting minorities from their platform.

Do you give the democrats tacit support to do that?

I actually had a gen 1 surface in high school. I despised it. It had the worst keyboard I’ve ever used, like, it had to be flat on a hard surface. If I tried typing with it on my lap, the keyboard would flex and hit random keys or click the mouse, jumping me half way across a document or opening something.

I imagine they’ve gotten better about the keyboard since then, but still, it was a genuinely awful design.

As for recording, I usually just use key binds, and my keyboard is pretty silent so I don’t tend to get that picked up by the microphone (I have an external mic that’s somewhat directional so that helps also). I imagine it would be really bad with a mechanical keyboard, but, I don’t really care for them, so never been an issue.

I just use my phone when I’m moving around a lot. and I don’t tend to mark up screenshots often enough for that to necessitate a major design feature of my computer.

Frankly, I’ve never got the touchscreen laptop thing. I got given one by my high school years ago. Used it for over a year. Fucking never used the touch screen functionality, I tried using it to draw with a couple times and it was just a worse experience than using the Wacom tablet I already had.

Like someone must like them, people keep asking other companies to include them in their laptop. But I’ve never seen a reason to want a touch screen in a laptop, and only ever been annoyed with it when I got one.

If I recall Massachusetts was also the first state to legalize gay marriage.

Can’t wait for the “can you garden for someone instead of renting?”

And “how to make huge passive income through garden sitters! Allow them to stay in your property in exchange for growing food that YOU get to sell!”

And people just stumble backwards back in to tenant farming.

Pete, you may think you’re speaking to both sides of the Democratic base, but you’re actually just making the moderates shrug and the left want to throttle you.

See that’s the kicker, windows has so many “are you sure” pop ups about stuff that most people just click through them without reading the fine print. People get desensitized to it and just ignore them, or maybe even they just assume microsoft is trying to sell them on a feature they don’t care about.

And in this case it didn’t save the files to the trash can, I imagine because it was synching local files with what was in one drive. Not the user deleting local files.

I had a colleague at work that had to redo several days of work because of the one drive thing.

The long and short of it is that they noticed that their connection was being super slow, opened up task manager to see if anything was eating bandwidth, saw one drive, went it it, correctly diagnosed that it was uploading files to it and eating up bandwidth, and then deleted all the files in one drive to stop it.

One drive decided that this meant they wanted all the local copies of the files deleted as well. Like, on the one hand, not the correct way to stop that behavior, but also like, the kind of thing a lot of people would try, and it then deleting all the local files in turn is an unintuitive outcome.

I think a lot of the most vocal transphobes are people who have been estranged from their own kids due to their unwillingness to accept them. Like they rationalize it as “gender ideology” stole my kids from me, rather than acknowledge that their kids cut them off because they were being toxic. Having a high profile example of someone “getting their kid back” by dropping the bigotry can help disarm that narrative.
