My advice is: make your data eternal, not your distro. Your kde config and customization should work across distros (but don’t dualboot with 2 distros messing in the same /home). Don’t know about you, but I like the separated work/play dynamic I have with linux/windows so I’m waiting for bazzite to become dual bootable with linux to be my playstation. If you put your game library on it’s own partition/disk you can mount it from dualboot distros.

Every distribution is always the most stabellest, maintained piece of software on their website but fuckups happen, teams change, users get blamed for exotic circumstances tarnishing their reputation. Have a backup and use whatever feels right currently.

Pop_os is also ubuntu based btw, hate the name but maybe system76 is able to keep you safe from the snappification while you use what you are accustumed to?

Your skeleton is bragging so much about its cool meatsuit they want to destroy it.

No, it’s using the style of the rectangular blocks below where the black shading looks sensible and applies it to rock surface where it looks like marbling in the mountain instead of ridges or shades. And it gets worse in the back, where the mountainbase has a fingerprint pattern thats completely different.

I find the black, thick webbing on the rocks really weird, yes.

A lot of shit happened in the past on 9/11, especially in German history. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_9

Did you know that if you took every elephant on earth and stacked them up to the moon, they would all pretty much die?

This is a really bad drawing on second sight/first zoom. This model clearly wasn’t trained on rock formations in this drawing style. Or hands.

Please don’t overpay for a 6700xt, get a 7800xt if you want to spend 450

Why would you want that?

Where is the counterweight? Why do you show your flacid trebuchet? Get ready for battle next time.

I interpret it differently. I have seen plenty of people putting up huge barriers of entry for themselfes before trying out a new hobby. They like the idea of a new hobby and try to hold themselves hostage with a huge investment, or in sad cases overspend because they go in badly informed. “Once I have spend so much money it’s impossible I won’t be able to motivate myself to keep going” oh no, it required more effort than buying stuff, I gave it away… I think persistance is indeed more important than the best gear. Get going and borrow/second hand what you need until you know you have the routine to make better equipment worthwhile. Get to know fellows who can help you make informed decisions after a few sessions. The climbing shoes in your basement don’t help climbing halls to stay open. The table saw you never use doesn’t help wood demand and availability in your area.

Schöffel has been pretty good for me so far. Last raincoat lasted 10 years, they repair broken zippers if needed. If you have a schöffellowa store nearby, they tend to go on sale late summer.

I think it will at least find a niche where it outperformes humans, like generating lobby/elevator music or ‘generic greek background ambiance music’ for a restaurant or something. Also the easy parts of the music market, same chords and beats with meaningless text sung on autotune are in its reach. It exists, people will make or save money with it, I don’t think it is going away.

I’m disappointed in the abilities of current AI and even more disappointed that pile of trash is still beating humans because they decided to optimize music so much towards mainstream average likings that it can indeed be generated. Don’t you think the music industry deserves this?

AI can only make mediocre music, the average song with average text, it couldn’t invent the next bohemian rhapsody, whatever you ask it to do will be met with a statistical mean of it’s training data. Thus average depthless music. We only need a license that pays the electricity bill instead of making too much money. I hope it makes artists get creative again to compete. Anything above average music would do.

Because they are students? Both are high demand professions, I don’t get it.

I took into account that OP’s domain is from the UK, where everybody calls each other a cunt and therefore lifes a cunt’s life by default.

Grad ein Bewerbungsgespräch vergeigt. War zu aufgeregt und hab nur 3 Stunden geschlafen und schön gezeigt wie inkompetent ich bin. War mein erstes Gespräch in DE, nächstes ist wieder in den Niederlanden, da hab ich zum Glück schon mehr Erfahrung.

Kutleven!

(The Dutch attach genitals or diseases to words to turn them into swearwords. This one is often used for “shit life” but it literally means “vagina life” which I find very fitting and ironic in this context)
