Just say it: preserve.

Unbelievable! I just recently switched to and started paying for Jellyfin Premium+ One Super Unlimited (with Ads) to see if I wanted to pay the lifetime license. I’m moving to JamRudder instead! This is a disgrace!!!!!!!!!!

Microsoft is known for making things “optional” at first then eventually forcing it down everyone’s throats. Removing offline accounts is one of them.

It’s not so much the technology itself is malware, but its behavior replicates that of malware.

Interesting how all those who are listed are people who AI is targeting: people who don’t understand AI.

Don’t give Musk the idea of the CyberShirt.

Yeah this is the idea. Personally I think charging needs more emphasis on at-work and apartment charging because if you don’t live at a house, you essentially rely on public charging which isn’t good for the battery.

Also more hotels should have charging. Having to drive 15 minutes away just to charge is annoying.

That actually sounds like fun.

I usually use a dehydrator for ~3 days on my drives to make them shelf stable. So far I haven’t had any issues.

Agreed. But it’s a good intermediate step.

For me, I didn’t have the mental energy. At a previous job, I was so mentally strained working 8 hours nonstop on highly mentally taxing tasks that even if I wanted to play a game, it felt like a chore rather than something I can enjoy or wind down to. Even if I had the time, since I do other stuff outside of work.

The strange thing is, when I work I have the money but not the time nor energy to justify buying games to sink time into. When I don’t work I have the time and energy but not the money to justify paying $80-$100 on a game I probably won’t play as much as I think otherwise.

I’ve in recent years looking more into reviews and such to weigh in whether or not I want to buy the game in the first place. Compare that to years prior when I could look at a trailer or short snippet and get a good idea of what the game has to offer. Now I’m more weary of grindy game mechanics and predatory micro transactions.

Just start. Even the most tech savvy of us started not knowing any of this. More importantly do what you’re interested in and that benefits you. You don’t have to have some grand implementation. Start simple and the rest follows.

The last paragraph in this story rings true to me.

I used to work at a company that wasn’t in the software development or tech industry, but wanted to start working on a new software development project. They were willing to put a bunch of money into patents, registering a new company, etc for this. They were unwilling to hire serious experience and expertise—in other words they exclusively hired interns.

I kept advocating to bring just 1 experienced developer to help mentor the rest of the team. But they kept ignoring my advice. They continued spending a bunch of money to make the project that was being worked on look amazing to other people. They didn’t do anything to provide an environment to ensure the project was actually good.

Long story short, I left and from what I can tell the project is not in a healthy state. They have reached the sunk cost fallacy as it has been years since the project was started. There was massive shortsightedness and the person leading the project is one of those “know-it-all” types who doesn’t know jack about software development.

They focus on short term costs and in the long run it costed them more—and not just financially.

Nothing like a little floating plastic pile in the middle of an ocean can’t fix.

Wait… can you confirm that these things don’t use volatile memory for game saves?

It’s semi-open, not fully open source as what is typically thought of.

You can’t carry my NAS, it’s bigger than yours.

Per lie.

The same way you have a lock on your front door “just in case”. It’s not emotional. It’s logical.

You can’t built it yourself but you can download the model and run it locally on your machine without it interacting to any server.

There is a community-driven project aimed at making a fully reproducible version called Open-R1. You can find it at https://github.com/huggingface/open-r1.

I think this is fine. Blender and CAD are better in different use cases. But at the end of the day use what you’re comfortable with.

I’ve used blender for the longest time simply because I know it and I’ve used it for other things. Recently I learned FreeCAD to the point where I’m comfortable doing basic things with it.
