I switched to Bazzite last week. I was only using Windows for games anyway. Amazed how simple it was, everything ‘just worked’.

Appreciate that some multiplayer games won’t work, but Arc Raiders does and that’s all my group are playing at the moment.

Somehow I coped without an offer to subscribe to an office suite and cloud storage. Phew.

What the other replies shitting on macOS seem to be overlooking is the support Apple provides.

Got stuck on something? call the support line or web chat.

Want to go to a training session? go to a local store.

All this stuff is super important for a novice who wants to learn without feeling dependent on their tech friend.

Maybe should have acted when Dominion Voting Machines was sold to a Republican election official.

How can you be so clueless about what makes your brand work.

That a good indicator your sanity is still intact

It doesn’t stop there. Here’s the rest of the post

… “Girls, I’m afraid you aren’t the only ones who are captivated by President Trump and his beautiful wife,” I said, kneeling to get on their level. “Virtually everyone in this theater is here for the 7:30 PM showing, and it’s been sold out for days.”

Tears began to well up in their eyes.

“But…” I said in a hushed tone, “I happen to have a few extra tickets with me, and I’d like you and your dad to have them.”

They jumped for joy and began hugging their father. He looked relieved as he wiped the sweat off his brow with a smile.

I handed him the tickets and pulled him close. “Raise these girls right,” I whispered. “Teach them to be classy conservative women of pop faith like Melania, don’t let them become like Meghan Markle. Capisce?”

He hugged me and thanked me profusely. “What are you going to do now?” He asked.

“Don’t worry about me, son,” I told him, with a twinkle in my eye. “I’ve already got tickets to the next showing.”

Yeah that’s it. If it ran locally it wouldn’t regularly show ‘rate limit exceeded’ messages. Its happening because it’s running server side in meta land.

One thing it sure as hell doesn’t encrypt is the links in your messages. They’re clearly sent to Meta to be ‘unfurled’. You can tell because sometimes a zoom like will unfurl to ‘too many requests try later’ so it’s obviously being done by some massive bot.

Surprised to hear this even had a UK release.

Nvidia seem to be trying to rebrand them as ‘AI factories’, because factories means jobs. Only once the data center is built it employs maybe a dozen full time staff. There just isn’t any work to do, especially in a dc that is just for one massive client with racks and racks if identical equipment.
