Or think about it this way, would you rather have 2 weeks of PTO or one week of vacation and one week of sick leave? Or even 2.5 weeks PTO vs 2 weeks vacation and 1 week sick leave and you need to provide a reason for the sick leave?
I much prefer PTO over some mixed policy, even if the mix is technically more time off.
Wait, you need a doctor's note for more than 2 days of sick leave?
And that makes me genuinely sad. When I joined Lemmy, I was a little put off by the leftist bent here, but then I realized that I appreciated being challenged on my views, especially since people here are generally nice about it.
I wish I could find something like that for conservatives as well. Better yet, I wish there was a place like Reddit or Lemmy where all views were respected, provided claims are supported with evidence. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be compatible with the world we live in, and that makes me sad.
I've never used it because it doesn't work on Linux. However, Heroic works just fine w/ GOG, and apparently the Heroic dev gets a cut from purchases through Heroic, so not being able to properly use GOG Galaxy isn't really an issue anymore.
Nah, ollama works w/ AMD just fine, just need a model w/ enough VRAM.
I'm guessing someone would get Intel to work as well if they had enough VRAM.
Sure, I'm just saying what I would need for this card to be interesting. It's not much better than what I have, and the extra VRAM isn't enough to significantly change what I can do with it.
So it either needs to have better performance or more VRAM for me to be interested.
It's a decent choice for new builds, but I don't really think it makes sense as an upgrade for pretty much any card that exists today.
Yeah, AMD and Intel should be running high VRAM SKUs for hobbyists. I doubt it'll cost them that much to double the RAM, and they could mark them up a bit.
I'd buy the B580 if it had 24GB RAM, at 12GB, I'll probably give it a pass because my 6650 XT is still fine.
These are two separate processes.
You desalinate ocean water to produce fresh water, which you can use for crops, city utilities, etc. That reduces the strain on local aquifers and reservoirs, especially since California tends to overuse their supply of water (especially poignant for us in Utah; we all rely on the Colorado River).
Hydrogen extraction tends to use pure freshwater to prevent corrosion during the electrolysis process. There has been some research around using seawater directly, but I'm guessing there's still a fair amount of work yet to do this at scale, and I certainly don't think we're there yet for ships.
Yup. The main concern is if there's specific software you cannot do without, such as:
But if you're a bit flexible and are willing to try different software, then yeah, Linux is pretty rad. Most Steam games I've tried work, you can play Epic and GOG games through Heroic, LibreOffice is fantastic, VLC works the same, and you can get almost any web browser you want (Firefox, Chrome, etc). And if your hardware isn't too old, it'll probably work well w/ Wayland, which resolves a number of problems people have had in the past.
If you have any questions about app compatibility, ask away! I probably haven't used whatever it is, but surely someone else has.
I don't use Windows and haven't for well over a decade, but my SO does and they haven't mentioned anything. Not sure if that means it didn't happen, or they just don't care.
That said, I remember seeing the ads for Candy Crush and whatnot in the start menu, and that was annoying. I also played w/ Win 11, and it seemed to have similar nonsense, plus they moved everything around again.
Huh, maybe I'll consider replacing my current Win10 install that I never use with this. And maybe I'll see about replacing my SO's install with it as well.

For crying out loud, Jonah! Three days late, covered with slime, and smelling like fish! … And what story have I got to swallow this time?
You know what I’m sayin’? … Me, for example. I couldn’t work in some stuffy little office. … The outdoors just calls to me.
Look! Look, gentlemen! Purple mountains! Spacious skies! Fruited plains! … Is someone writing this down?
Sure, I’m a creature—and I can accept that … but lately it seems I’ve been turning into a miserable creature.
Nah, that's when you get a happy ending.
