I’m guessing the cheap laptop was running Windows? You didn’t mention, it sounds at first like you’re saying you were using Linux on it.

What ads were everywhere? Why did it “take 2 hours to get to the desktop” - you mean, that’s how long it took to install or something?

Lots and lots of others have laid off. Presumably some better companied have added jobs in the meantime.

Thats been my experience as well.

On SO it seems much more likely that the answers answering a different question have a negative score.

I never once actually asked a question there. Partly because most of the time, the question I was asking had always been asked.

However, I have found the correct answer to 100s of questions there. Usually through google/ddg/kagi searches.

This is interesting because a huge amount of AI “knowledge” comes from stack exchange.

Now I’ll go read the other comments and article to see if that’s already been mentioned :)

That dossn’t seem like “one path” if it’s almost the exact opposite of what they were saying.

Use your shoulder? Or a headset?

KDE Neon here. I really really like it.

I keep starting to set up nextcloud (or something) for files, but then wondering why I wouldnt just use NFS/SMB.

Good.

Why would you want to use speakerphone anyway? Especially in a public place where they’d be harder to hear?

It can be both!

Still there

It needs access to the file system. But why would it need access to the whole thing? Just download to its own storage, no? Then use something else to copy elsewhere.

Unless this is to support saving to any folder, or built in smb support or something.

Wait, why would libretorrent require all files access?

Buzzwords

It’s all social contracts. When those break down, a lot of shit breaks.

Also when one party refuses to do jack shit about the approaching storm, hoping for the status quo and retaining their little bits of power. That doesn’t help either.

ok but your comment isn’t related to this particular case
