Nexsar is taking over Tegna. Currently tied up in courts, but it's pretty much sinclair-like propaganda machine.

Would love to read that blog post. I'm toying with running local AI model with Claude and GLM as well depending on a task. Pretty decent success but it could be better.

We're in late-stage capitalism here. The pitchforks are already out and spreading across the globe. Unless the big companies get broken up, this nation will split into either a pol…

I have to admire the double-dipping business model of private companies getting paid by local governments to setup surveillance cameras and harvest data. Then the same goverment wi…

Do you have a brand of those laces? The original ones on my Brooks runnign shoes are usually pretty good, but overtime they start getting more loose.

The tidbid they're not talking about are the fact that wages are down .5% https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/12/cpi-inflation-april-2026-.ht...

Wouldn't that be WINE?

This just reminds me of that old meme where a product manager says something like "Why am I paying you $200k/yr when I can just copy code from StackOverflow?" and the engineer resp…

What about all the age restriction stuff coming online here in the US in various states? Those are cool right? This service is definitely a honeypot for tracking.

Genuine question, what is stopping users from using AI to generate a fake face or ID to bypass this restriction?

Wait, was this an oversight on his part about the biometric unlock? My MacBook biometric gets disabled after a bit and requires a password if the lid was closed for substantial amo…

I honestly think that Waymo's reaction was spot on. I drop off and pick up my kid from school every day. The parking lots can be a bit of a messy wild west. My biggest concern is t…

You'll get there! Some of them you can take two at a time. I myself only need 3 more!

I got Battle.net working through Steam. The way I have it is I add the battle.net installer into steam, add proton compatibility, once you run it it installs, but next time you run…

Every school has students work off their Chromebooks here in Colorado, regardless of how rich community is. This started with the Covid lockdowns and is pretty much standard now.

How does it compare to CachyOS? I'm not too familiar with how immutable OS actually works or what is the deal with flatpacks. I have a system that I kind of want to have Linux forw…

This stuff is getting more pervasive too. I'm working on my Master's degree right now and any code I submit, I make sure it has spelling mistakes and make it god awful because I do…

What is powering Gemini?

Is this related to the upcoming EU-Inc initiatives next year?

Was the demo through Steam or through Ubisoft Connect launcher? I'm a huge Anno fan and I play Anno 1800 like all the time. I own that game on the Ubisoft platform. If Anno 117 run…

How are Ubisoft games running on Linux nowadays? I think that is the only thing holding me back honestly.

Last year, I got a found a great deal on a gently used Chevy Bolt EUV 2023 model with only about 8k miles on it for about $16k USD from Hertz. Granted, I had to fly out of state to…

What makes you think it's any better here in the US? There is a worldwide rise toward nationalism/authoritarianism.

I wish we could just get away from x86 "standard" and move on. If there is something that still needs it, x86 emulation is very efficient nowadays. Just look what Apple has done wi…
