So many things out right now where the protagonist's superpower is being old and tough/wise. And all the opponents are "young upstarts/punks"

"The old man" probably a but on the nose.

Tulsa King, Yellowstone etc

I've been with them for a couple of years now. Unfortunately the devices just doubled in price but I'm very happy with them otherwise.

I'm grateful. It was the push I needed to stop using windows.

If they'd made it even vaguely tempting I probably wouldn't have bothered.

He's pretty untouchable.

Every government thinks AI is the next gold/oil rush and whoever gets to be the "AI country" will become excruciatingly rich.

That's why they're being given IP exemptions and all sorts of legal loopholes are being attempted/ set up for them.

I was being sarcastic.

They will for sure use things like phobias/weaknesses to psychologically influence you to get you out of their way.

They for sure won't get hold of any notes about medical conditions (or god forbid, notes from your therapist) and use them against you if you opposed them.

Imagine being appreciated, complimented on your work, and paid appropriately.

Edit: Oh it's about teens? Ok that's not good.

But for adults, I for sure understand the appeal of this kind of work.

I've been using mint exclusively for like 3 months and have been using a hearty blend of terminal installs and the program manager app.

It seems to not have caused any problems YET, but I've been assured it will. I see flatpack conversations a lot and don't fully understand the differences (apart from the install method).

Is it worth understanding and committing to a single system or can I just be a low-power user for a while?

Not sure about wine. Haven't used it since like 2016.

I'm running all my games in steam with proton. Not sure if that's connected at all.

Or it just happens overseas, where these laws don't apply (or can't be enforced).

But I don't think it will happen. Too many countries are desperate to be "the AI country" that they'll risk burning whole industries to the ground to get it.

I had my first issue since switching just yesterday (I've been switched for a couple of months).

I wanted to run some mod installers for the old Kotor games but they're .exe files.

Only stuff I could get working was manual file-replacements and steam workshop mods.

Yes, and they were all as smart at humans. ;)

So mostly average but some absolute thickos too.
