Sigh… A one day protest on a Saturday where the vast majority of participants either already had the day off or requested it from their employer is in no way a strike. It’s a large protest and an important event, but it’s just not a strike.
It’s like the actual concept of a strike is being erased from the public consciousness. Strikes don’t have a fixed duration, they have a list of demands, and the strike goes on until those demands are met or the strikers capitulate.
A bunch of Minnesotans taking a day off work to protest sends a strong message and mildly inconveniences businesses.
A bunch of Minnesotans saying “we’re not going back to work until ICE is out of our state” is what an actual general strike would look like. It would be hugely powerful if strikers held fast, but it would also be incredibly hard to organize and pull off, because you’re basically asking large numbers of people to be willing to get fired.
I’m not trying to downplay what’s going on in Minnesota - it’s good and important, but it saddens me to see people calling this a general strike. A general strike is the ultimate weapon of the working class. Calling a mass protest a general strike feels like saying “this is the best we can do,” and it absolutely is not.
I can’t help you much as I have a 6600XT, but I can say this is probably the wrong community to get that help. It’s not likely KDE-related.
Before going back to windows, I would boot up an arch-based live iso to see if newer drivers cleared up your problem. I use EndeavourOS, and that has a graphical live environment and should give you a good idea whether your card is working or not. Good luck!
I’ve seen the comparison to pair programming with a junior programmer before, and it’s wild to me that such a comparison would be a point in favor of using AI for improving productivity.
I have never experienced a productivity boost by pairing with a junior. Which isn’t to say it’s not worth doing, but the productivity gains go entirely to the junior. The benefits I receive are mainly improving my communication and mentoring skills in the short term, and improving the team’s productivity in the long term by boosting the junior’s knowledge.
And it’s not like the AI works on the mundane stuff in parallel while I work on the more interesting, higher level stuff. I have to hold its hand through the process.
I feel like the efficiency gains of AI programming is almost entirely in improving your speed at wrestling a chatbot into producing something useful. Which may not be entirely useless going forward - knowing how to search well is an important skill, this may become something similar, but it just doesn’t seem worth the hassle to me.
FYI Tylenol PM does have acetaminophen. It’s Tylenol + Benadryl.
You should consider trying an equivalent dose of just Benadryl at night to give your liver a break, especially if you also take regular Tylenol during the day or drink alcohol.
"Remain wary of the frailty of men. Their wills are weak, minds young. Were it not for fear, death would go unlamented."
"Seek the old blood."
"Let us pray, let us wish... to partake in communion. Let us partake in communion... and feast upon the old blood. Our thirst for blood satiates us, soothes our fears."
"Seek the old blood."
"But beware the frailty of men. Their wills are weak, minds young. The foul beasts will dangle nectar and lure the meek into the depths."
I like that I can currently adjust the volume or silence a call on my phone in my pocket by feeling the physical buttons. I miss being able to deliberately unlock my phone with touch id as I’m picking it up without having to look at it square on.
Hell, I even miss the chin and bezel. I liked having neutral space to grab the phone without it registering a tap or swipe.
Maybe I’m getting old, but smartphone design largely peaked several years ago, and they insist on making changes to parts of the phone that are perfectly fine.
I use this recipe to make 2 thick crust pan pizzas:
Flour: 420 g (3 1⁄2 cups)
Water: 285 g (2 1⁄4 cups)
Yeast: 4g (1 1⁄2 tsp)
Salt: 8g (1 1⁄2 tsp)
Olive Oil: 16 g (1 1⁄4 tbsp)
It works for thin crust too, just reduce the quantities by 25-50%.
Homemade pizza dough (and lean bread in general) is really easy to make at home by hand. The day before you want pizza, just mix everything together into a rough sticky dough ball, let it rest a few minutes, then knead until it’s smooth. Then stick it in the fridge overnight or up to 5 days or so. More time in the fridge means more fermentation and more flavor. After 5 days, it’ll start taking on slight sourdough qualities (though if you want an actual sourdough crust, you’ll need a sourdough starter).
I see two possible reasons for your situation. One is that the company is turning to contractors to fill in gaps in their knowledge/experience, which is why everyone else has no clue how to tackle these tasks and why they get assigned the easy ones.
The other possibility is that the senior devs are gaming the metrics, letting the employees knock out easy tasks while the contractor is stuck with untangling the knots of the more intractable tasks.

Yeah, it was a little tricky pulling off the twine without tearing the loaf too much (which you can see in the pic).
Thank you for adding an option to disable swiping on posts and comments! I don’t know when it was added, but it’s a necessary feature for me.

This article from last year compares LLMs to techniques used by “psychics” (cold reading, etc).

I think it’s a great analogy (and an interesting article).

In its current state? Not unless it gets heavily marked down (KSP2 does have better tutorials and a more accessible progression system).
With the studio being shut down, it’s likely that what we have now is all we’re getting.

Look into installing AppArmor instead of SELinux. AppArmor is easier to configure, and SELinux is not officially supported on Arch.
They are under expansion chips.
Link for those who are interested.
I was referring to the linked site, but yeah I’ve had turn on the option to hide bot accounts to cut down on some of the junk here.
This entire site feels like it was written by ChatGPT or some other LLM.
