I’m a daily Linux user and I despise windows, but I have a hard time believing this bullshit. I know it’s fun to fuck on windows, but either you did something crazy wrong or you’re just ranting about something on windows that doesn’t actually exist.
Mississippi is violating the U.S. Constitution’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment by permanently stripping voting rights from people convicted of some felonies, a federal appeals court panel ruled in a split decision Friday....
Correct, but there a ulterior motive to all of this and it has nothing to do with wanting to make things fair. Quite the opposite actually. They just want to disenfranchise voters through this method.
Not sure Im ready for one of these ‘internal combustion’ cars I keep hearing about. Until they can sort out the risk of the flammable liquids you have to put in them from catching fire it seems too dangerous and impractical.
I mean, do you not understand the concept of ‘don’t mess with critical files if you want your system to last’? This isn’t necessarily a bad thing about windows.
What does this have anything to do with the modern age? You’re making a massive assumption about something you know absolutely nothing about. Just because someone wants to use couch co-op doesn’t mean they don’t live in the modern age. What kind of dumb assessment is that? Also, are you unaware how DnD games are typically played? It’s- gasp -in person with other people. Wow!
I’ll be brutally honest: I think the books kinda suck. I love the Witcher lore, character, world, story and I especially love The Witcher 3 and I’ve played the entire game, plus the two DLC expansions, so I was very surprised to see the books were mid at best.
So if you want to know how to IMPROVE on the source material without DISRESPECTING the source material, look no further than the Witcher games. CDPR knew how to write the story in a way that can compliment the source material instead of competing against it.
The Netflix show was clearly competing against it in many ways that it might as well have been an original story. And mocking the source material isn’t the same as disagreeing with it, which is what one of the writer of the show failed to understand. It doesn’t look good when the show is already a mess and then the writer is mocking it, almost making everyone wonder why they even signed up to do the story in the first fucking place.
I think I remember when the show wanted Geralt to make a joke about Roach’s death and Cavill stepped in and said Geralt would never do that, which is true. Then the show staff apparently got butthurt about Cavill doing that a lot and that’s why he left.

Yes! This is a brilliant explanation of why language use is not the same as intelligence, and why LLMs like chatGPT are not intelligence. At all.
