this feels like its out of Where the Sidewalk Enda by Shel Silverstein

Both of these things can be true. You can’t discount the rich and their ability to do evil in multiple dimensions with one choice.

that was my thought as well. I assume most of them to be duds. hell, the relabeled Chinese hand-me-downs the Russians are using don’t work either.

Yeah, this feels like a nothingburger. Rates have only started coming in line with expectations and corpo gouging is the real problem. No amount of high interest will stop companies charging extortionate rates. Powell has good reason to be cagey as every rate hike tanks the stock market because of the general panic. We finally have lenders and businesses getting the idea that the gravy train of nearly free loans is over.

I am running Bazzite and Stellaris. I have no issues with stability or opening the game. Have you checked your hardware fundamentals and done things like disable steam overlay?

I will never get over the absurdity of seeing a Confederate flag on a house in Ohio.

As an Ohioan, anything outside of the major metros is basically the south.

I thought that was called using meth?

Really? I’ll have to check again. Last time I looked it was a defunct Facebook page.

What could be more American than making merchandise to amplify a historic event?

If only the local IWW wasn’t a defunct facebook page…

I did the same jump, the same way last year. I’m still daily driving Pop_OS! After a year. I went through much the same way when I can over from windows with program placement. Welcome to the club.

So a rich guy who can put on a mask and beat up the poor while advancing the arms race with criminals becoming more unhinged or a guy whose family was murdered and starts turning to vigilante justice and became what every cop wet dreams that they actually are?

…Sure. That’ll help. /s

Teledildonics is my new favorite word.

It depends on how the company goes about it. The larger the company, the more established the HR department. They may use their HR platform to conduct the check which may find any and everything. The smaller companies may only check recent background with a local firm. Price is the name of the game. The more in-depth the background check, the more it costs. If you are going to work in a bank or with kids, be prepared to for the company/school to use the state equivalent of the FBI. For mom and pop shops, they may just take your word on the application. If you see a national HR platform like Paycom, then the results can vary depending on the package the company purchases.

Found the Musk stan.

I have this on a platter hard drive somewhere. Oh how I’ve missed you old friend.

They act like its the computer daydreaming. No, its wrong. The machine that is supposed to provide me correct information. It didn’t it. These marketing wizards are selling snake oil in such a lovely bottle these days.

You can doubt all you like but we keep seeing the training data leaking out with passwords and personal information. This problem won’t be solved by the people who created it since they don’t care and fundamentally the technology will always show that lack of care. FOSS ones may do better in this regard but they are still datasets without context. Thats the crux of the issue. The program or LLM has no context for what it says. That’s why you get these nonsensical responses telling people that killing themselves is a valid treatment for a toothache. Intelligence is understanding. The “AI” or LLM or, as I like to call them, glorified predictive textbars, doesn’t understand the words it is stringing together and most people don’t know that due to flowery marketing language and hype. The threat is real.
