Sometimes the only way to win is not to play.

But also Johnson is stupid.

The site wants to share info with advertisers. I found this to be refreshingly honest.

Anyway, can we get an archive link?

The lawyers are taking a big risk to their licenses for lying to the court.

Nation level retaliation would ensue. Maybe possible to do in some country matchups, but not possible in all.

I guess this is a good way to spread the techniques to others....

Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. They just memorize patterns really well. in c/technology@lemmy.world

The "Apple" part. CEOs only care what companies say.

If we are all going to die, the money doesn't matter. Pay forfood, housing, medical care, education, and ice cream.

When Docker Desktop and Anaconda went... Well, I don't know, the CEO started to get emails (politely) asking for money.

One could workshop some sales pitches and email the CEO.

Many CEOs at least hear about the unique emails they receive.

Will it have an impact? Yes. Will it positively impact your organization? Maybe.

What are the minimum or recommended requirements for a personal home server? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

The joke is electricity and Linux.

The real answer is the free hardware.

My main reliable is from 2008? It cannot do modern virtualization due to not having the CPU instruction sets.

How many Nintendo Switches do I need for a family of gamers? (midwest.social)
 

I don't understand the Nintendo Switch. How many do I need for a family of gamers?

They are a personal device like a gameboy.
There is a TV version for party games.
The games may or may not be shareable, even with the physical games.
Assume the ideal usage is during screen time on a weekend.

I have been avoiding buying one as I don't understand them. Thinking of getting them soon.

I assume one OLED for the family and then a portable per person, then one copy of each game per device.

How is this affordable?

I don't like subscribing to nonphysical things. I can read a physical paper a month after it arrived. Digital is faster, but I tend to lose it before I have read it.

I need a recipient in my pocket. Too often my virtual thing is lost, my device fails, or things reboot and I don't have my secure 24 digit password with me.

I won't subscribe to a digital only anything. Physical and digital is nice.

Edit: They don't even have to be identical. A digital daily with a monthly print would be nice.

Mayor Jacob Frey quips that choosing remote work over office makes you a 'loser' (Minneapolis, MN, USA) (bringmethenews.com)
 

"I don't know if you saw this study the other day, but what this study clearly shows, is when people have the ability to come downtown to an office and don't, when they stay home, sitting on their couch with their nasty cat blanket diddling on their laptop ... if they do that for a few months, you become a loser! It's a study. We're not losers, are we?"
