Itch io is free. If you can't make $100 on itch then don't bother submitting to steam.

The Fall of Hyperion. About half way through. Loved Hyperion.

Catch up on sleep, get a bit of work done, go for a walk, read some of the book I'm on

I would be ok with us ownership of Canadian News sites to be illegal.

I unironically want them. No more plastic bags where I live, so I'm running on reserve. I only have a few years stockpile left.

Not just GPUs. I needed a new laptop for work, and prices definitely going up there too.

Shoot, I mean it with more aggression

Classic thought crime

Good. Double it. Triple it. Cut off all trade.

DO IT

If you tell people about declassified CIA ops they will often call you a conspiracy theorist.

Like, no theory needed lad, this is official documentation.

You're absolutely right, but you also need to accept that most people think ai means transformers (as in, LLMs and generative/image synthesis)

It sucks, but that's how language works unfortunately. How most people use a word ends up defining it.

You know, it's tricky. I get called rich on the Internet, based on my position and salary. But I don't feel rich. I don't own my own home and I doubt I ever will. I rarely take vacations,I don't eat out - too expensive. I don't go to the pub with my friends anymore, can't afford it.

Because I live in Vancouver, an expensive city.

It's all relative.

I have 32GiB and greatly regret not upgrading when it was cheap

That's a law/regulation id love to see

This is definitely not my experience. Pretty much everybody I talk to and everybody I know says don't have kids.

They require video or id confirmation. It's creepy as hell. Either a "video selfie" or give photo id

All they care about is money. They don't care about justifying prices at all.

They used to. I'm an old one but back in my day there was special education classes with instructors trained for this thing.

Then one day they got rid of those special classes and integrated everybody into one.

Same old story. Company starts in Canada, innovates, gets bought by American company.
