Uhhh not really no. Most of us were raised to hide away our emotions. I’ve been bullied for crying or being “weak”. This expectation still exists among adults and is perpetuated by both men and women (though definitely not all of them). It only takes one or two of these toxic people to turn a whole group towards toxic masculinity it seems.

Also, anywhere I go I’m aware that most women find me scary just for existing in a place. I was just out for a walk and just happened to end up on a path closely behind a woman who was also walking there. She looked behind a few times and sped up her pace, while I tried to reduce pace in order to not spook her any further. It’s not exactly nice to get the feeling that half of the population seems to immediately distrust you just for the actions of a small minority of men.

I think you’ve kinda missed the point of this post lol. It’s mocking people who think like this

Nooooo! Don’t make all those bees angry and lock them up. Bees need to be happy. Let them roam freely.

Use wasps instead, those fuckers can rot in hell.

I did so at the start of 2025. It was meant mostly as an experiment, to see what I needed before switching permanently. But I kinda just kept going. I think I’ve booted windows like 2 or 3 times across the year to get something off of it or to run test something that didn’t work on Linux. I’m kinda considering to just wipe it, or wipe it and install it on a separate partition so it can’t mess with shit anymore. Maybe put it on an old disk in my spare parts PC (if that is possible with the TPM bullshit) to isolate it further.

I can open your link, but as someone who’s Dutch, the way this all works in English is so absurd. Here we call Germany “Duitsland” and they speak “Duits”. This is quite similar to what they say themselves, “Deutschland” and “Deutsch”. We call our country “Nederland” and our language “Nederlands”. This is again similar in German.

Then why is English “Germany”, “German” and “Holland”/“The Netherlands” and “Dutch”. It’s so silly. There are of course historic reasons, but can’t we all just collectively change it?

It does feel like that yeah. But honestly it would probably still be pretty fast if the GPU driver support didn’t cease. Being on the integrated GPU has made the thing age another 10 years, that piece of shit was already horrendously slow when the Laptop was new

Looks like he’s just toying around with it in some project. Why would he take other’s words for it when he can just test it himself? Try it out, see what happens, draw conclusions.

There’s a lot of mindless hype and a lot of mindless hate around these tools. Makes sense to try these tools and form your own opinion

Haha. The video is a bit pessimistic tho, I know people who work at companies with Haskell running in production (who are happy with it). Personally I have used monads, and I’ve wished for their functionality in other languages like Java, but I couldn’t reasonably explain what they are.

Also, as someone who know just about enough German to understand some of what they’re saying, it’s always quite hard to follow these videos. My brain doesn’t understand it when it hears “Das war ein Befehl!” and the subtitles ramble on about something completely different

Jokes on you, I’m into that shit

Not every day. Hell, not even every week. Eating before sleeping messes up my sleep

Yeah I can’t drink coffee anymore. Fucks up my entire day with intense stress ans a worn out feeling after a single cup. Though it seems to vary greatly. Every now and then I “forget” this and suffer again

It slowly started happening in the last few years. And then I got a burn-out. I haven’t really written code in months now. I don’t think it’d really stress me out, but honestly I just don’t really feel like it most of the time. I try to spend most of my time away from a screen

Honestly, not at all. If CS paid like shit I’d still do it. Out of all the things it’s just what I enjoy most. Studying CS didn’t feel like something I had to do but rather something I wanted to do most of the time. Programming is like solving puzzles but then much cooler

Yeah okay but Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man’s Sky were new games, not an ancient game that should easily run on a Switch 2 but somehow doesn’t. And even then it required an insane turnaround before people loved them again. Cyberpunk has undergone a crazy transformation since launch and it’s all for free (as should be expected when you release a dumpster fire).

This is not an easy thing, and not something you can keep doing constantly. Bethesda seems to be on a roll with releasing broken, overpriced, boring shit for a while now. And constantly milking Skyrim. There are plenty other games that I personally have played that aren’t there yet in this timeline either. Cities Skylines 2 just got a new developer and is still not that great, I don’t they’ll turn it around. Stalker 2 is on the right path (and I personally really liked it on launch and even more now), yet a lot of fans still seem pissed and the game is still properly janky. Pulling a Cyberpunk is the exception, not the rule

Damn that’s very lucky. Every device with Nvidia hardware that I installed Linux on has at some point during updates or whatever gone to shit. However I must say that it has become way better in recent years. My Thinkpad was the worst because it was my first Linux device and it had an integrated Intel gpu and a dedicated Nvidia GPU and getting it to work was horror. In the end a friend of mine who was better at Linux just forced it to always use the Nvidia card because then at least stuff worked reliably ™.

But even then it pretty much always died during Ubuntu release updates. I’ve nuked my whole system once because the screen went black (due to GPU drivers presumably) during one and after an hour or so I forcefully turned off the laptop because I couldn’t do anything anymore. After restarting into a tty my laptop was in some sort of limbo between 2 Ubuntu versions and I basically just had to reinstall.

Ever since I made Linux (Arch btw) my main OS for gaming at the start of this year it has been quite stable though. I did switch to LTS kernels and after that everything has been pretty chill.

In terms of performance yeah. Though not every old device keeps working. You’re still vulnerable to driver support for newer kernels. My old Thinkpad no longer functions properly because the Nvidia drivers are not compatible with newer kernels. I can either have an unsafe machine that runs fine or an up-to-date machine that can barely open a web browser.

Compared to most of my friends I’m not into food tbh. But not in the way that I don’t care about it. I’ll generally eat whatever and like it. I can enjoy a microwave meal or a frozen pizza. And I get very impatient with people who insist that the rice needs to dry to the air for god knows how long because it makes the taste better. Cooking is something I used to hate, so I’d always go the easy route. Either a microwave meal or something like pasta with pre-cut vegetables and premade sauce from the supermarket.

Nowadays I have changed to a diet with more vegetables and less overprocessed stuff, so I tend to just grab some veggies and throw them in a pan with some meat (or replacement), some random herbs and spices and a little bit of pasta or rice. Sometimes it’s nice, sometimes it sucks, but I don’t really care because I’ll eat almost anything and I hate throwing away food. Most important to me is that it’s healthy most of the time. But I don’t really care for recipes or spending time to prepare something nice, I have better ways to spend my time. I also really like my rice to be sticky, so I don’t really waste time on washing the rice either.

Uhmmmm can I also teleport back from Albania? If so, then sure. I hate travelling so I never really go far, being able to go to Albania and back at the blink of an eye would be chill. Going for a nice lunch walk and then teleport back. Otherwise I’ll go with the eye colour I guess, the rest is useless.

Fun fact, this loop is kinda how one of the generative ML algorithms works. This algorithm is called Generative Adversarial Networks or GAN.

You have a so-called Generator neural network G that generates something (usually images) from random noise and a Discriminator neural network D that can take images (or whatever you’re generating) as input and outputs whether this is real or fake (not actually in a binary way, but as a continuous value). D is trained on images from G, which should be classified as fake, and real images from a dataset that should be classified as real. G is trained to generate images from random noise vectors that fool D into thinking they’re real. D is, like most neural networks, essentially just a mathematical function so you can just compute how to adjust the generated image to make it appear more real using derivatives.

In the perfect case these 2 networks battle until they reach peak performance. In practice you usually need to do some extra shit to prevent the whole situation from crashing and burning. What often happens, for instance, is that D becomes so good that it doesn’t provide any useful feedback anymore. It sees the generated images as 100% fake, meaning there’s no longer an obvious way to alter the generated image to make it seem more real.

Sorry for the infodump :3

Is it? I doubt there are many fibers in there. Unless you count the tomato sauce it doesn’t really contain a lot of vegetables either. I’d be really surprised if tomato sauce on the average pizza is healthy, it’s probably so over processed that all the fibers and vitamins etc are gone and it’s just a big carb nuke. And a pizza contains too much fat as well. A good pizza might be decent compared to most fast food, but I can’t imagine the average fastfood or supermarket pizza being a healthy meal.
