Nuts only make sense in something that’s already hard, like a cookie. It complements it by going from something hard-ish to another hard-ish texture.

Nuts in cake DOESN’T MAKE SENSE. I hate having to chew something smooth and spongy and suddenly - CRONCH. It’s repulsive. 99% of the time it also tastes worse than the cake itself. If you actually want to put nuts on your damn cake, put it on the top so I can slide it off and eat it separately. Thank you.

Having a unicode icon that can be copy pasted anywhere is nifty, but yeah I’m really not a fan of choosing this one.

Good post. I’ve been on Lemmy for a while (jeez, look at my account stats) but Mbin is starting to look more mature lately, especially with the fact that it works with Mastodon.

Aside from what everyone else said, most people apply put a cover on top of their phone which makes up for the camera bump, so for most people it’s not even visible.

A lot of people are focusing on what Russia would do but this would also alarm every single country that isn’t in good terms with NATO and they would also start mobilizing their armies. China, NK, and maybe even the middle east would retaliate if nato was this aggressive.

I love the front-ends as well but it feels like every Lemmy update breaks something there. Alexandrite still hasn’t updated to 0.19.5 (since most instances are still on 0.19.3 due to image caching issues), and upvotes/downvotes still don’t show up in my instance.

I’ve literally been downvoting nothing but random political posts outside of politics communities and still they somehow worm into the hot feed. Mods should take a more serious “no politics spam” rule.

Anything US-politics and anything erotic, like almost every community from furry & anime instances. Also every non-English communities like feddit.de and some hobby communities I don’t care for. Over time my feed got way cleaner and more fun to sift through.

I’ve had zero issues with nvidia on Linux lately. It works flawlessly on newer drivers, even on wayland.

For AI stuff you’d want something with at least an RTX 4060. AMD GPUs for laptops are not great and most of them don’t support AI. Any card that’s good for AI will also be good for gaming so you’ll be fine there.

You probably want something with 32gb of ram, too.

As for pulling out the wifi card, there’s no need. Most laptops let you disable wifi through the BIOS, completely disabling it at a system level.

Dual booting works on anything.

Generally I’d recommend Lenovo Legions, ASUS ROG stuff. If you’re rich you can also look into Razer I guess.

Wow, what happened to South Korea? I heard it was bad but I never realized they were worse than Japan.

Not all cookies are harmful and some websites don’t work properly without cookies. Having cookies off by default also usually means user preferences wouldn’t be saved when you leave and return to a website.

If this thing needs to be present, the option should be there to toggle on, not off.

This is my takeaway in general. The idea of this sounds fine, but the fact that they opted everyone into this experiment is really stupid considering a huge chunk of people use Firefox are privacy-conscious and care deeply about this stuff.

AI was a promise more than anything. When ChatGPT came out, all the AI companies and startups promised exponential improvements that will chaaangeee the woooooorrlllddd

Two years later it’s becoming insanely clear they hit a wall and there isn’t going to be much change unless someone makes a miraculous discovery. All of that money was dumped in to just make bigger models that are 0.1% better than the last one. I’m honestly surprised the bubble hasn’t popped yet, it’s obvious we’re going nowhere with this.

Still interesting to know just how expensive that thing is and what it takes to run it

Where I live college professors are extremely well paid. Well, at least in private colleges.

TAs earn nearly nothing though.

You can buy an entry-level music instrument at around that price. That’s what I did a while ago and while it wasn’t life changing it was a lot of fun to have a new hobby.

Die, probably.
