Unironically at this point

I'd like to believe they mean on the next GPU you get, but not everyone can just upgrade their card. But if you can, dump Nvidia in the daily driver asap, as long as it's reasonable to do so.

Also, side tangent, but remember when the whole computer cost a grand? I miss those days.

For fellow KDE users, which happens to be uma fans

Uma Musume (馬娘, literally "Horse Girls") is a gacha style game by CYGAMES that has several anime. The idea is to take actual race horses, regardless of gender, and make them moe anime waifus that run huma-style footraces. One very popular one that I know, is Golshi, or the horse Gold Ship. From what I can gather, though, the mascot is supposed to be Special Week. (I only tangentially interact with pure gacha games because of my crippling fear of being addicted)

Anyway, plenty of good memes from the fans, and decent artwork in the usual places for manga-adjacent things, whatever that means for you.

How Vibe Coding Is Killing Open Source

Your node_modules directory can get so bloated that the community came up with different package managers just for deduplication! pnpm, for example, makes one global-adjacent cache, and then just symlinks the dependencies as needed. This is because the regular npm doesn't, because what if the package changed between the 20ms since I downloaded it for nuxt? (Sorry Nuxt users, had to pick a name)

Hard Out There For A Woman

Young men might take a similar pledge, but they're not held to it and in fact are pressured to get some early experience.

Y'know, I didn't really think about it during the American Pie era, but I'm just gonna say it: if the boys are supposed to be getting experience, and the girls are supposed to not be, who are the boys having sex with?

I turned my streaming stick into a dumb app launcher, and that's all it should be

I just bought a Dell Optiplex 990 for 50 bucks on eBay. I lucked out in that the listing came with 8 GB of RAM. Just threw in a previous SSD, loaded Fedora Kinoite, and am currently playing with Podman/Docker Compose for an Arr stack. By next week, I should be able to move it from the corner where the router is, and then finally deliver on the promise that I made my girlfriend back in February, when I bought the HDMI projector and a speaker set.*

That said, I'm all for your idea, especially if it comes with an IR receiver, too.

If I get another Optiplex (that one for homelabbing), I'll look into COSA and Butane/Ignition files more seriously. That's a very solvable issue, after all.

* We had to move since then and I cannot find the front right speaker, for some reason. The company, whose name looks like the antagonist of FF8, doesn't seem to sell replacement speakers, either.
