@JP My favorite is the minerals-added-for-taste bottled water, I think. It really depends though

@JP Over here in the U.S. we once got a boil water warning, and it was when I had decided to drink tap water because our filtered water seemed to make me feel nauseous for some reason (I still don't get it). Anyway, I quickly went back to filtered water :)

@defensem3ch Can't "donload" because I'm a "n00b" >D

Fun music! I like it.

@elebertus It's a pretty beastly machine. It's the System76 Serval WS, serw12. Rad indeed.
But I just realized that there was something I did in the past with my system configuration which I perhaps shouldn't've... a bunch of nvidia's systemd services are masked/disabled on my system. I need to try re-enabling all that and seeing if it helps me.
I had disabled them because they reported a failing status, which made systemd think my session was degraded, which was annoying.

@elebertus I was trying to find a replacement CPU for my current one (my laptop actually has a socketed CPU). I wanted the replacement one to have integrated (non-Nvidia!) graphics. But I don't think that'll work out.

@elebertus It's a "GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Mobile" according to lspci.
When using a driver other than Nouveau, many graphical assets go blank on resume from suspend (that's the main issue, really). But sway doesn't work with non-Nouveau drivers for me, I get awful flickering (much worse than screen tearing) and other issues.

Also, if I turn the screen off and wait a while, it will not come back on; the error in my logs says that the 'GPU fell off the bus'.
There are many stability problems as well.

@mike Interestingly enough, Grok has had a leftist streak as well. I guess for now AI is as AI does.

@elebertus @travellator2 Huh. Are you using the Nouveau graphics driver? I'm on Sway too.

I just got an email from #Google with subject line "You’re now using Gemini on web", detailing unclearly how they may be using my data (without my consent, I did NOT opt-in).

That subject line is so offensive.

#platformDecay (usually known as " #enshittification ") #Gemini

Some quotes from this article. It's longer than it feels to read, and is worth your time if you're into #computerScience .

Now? We’re building a world where that curiosity gets lobotomized at the door. Some poor bastard, born to be great, is going to get told to "review this AI-generated patchset" for eight hours a day, until all that wonder calcifies into apathy. The terminal will become a spreadsheet. The debugger a coffin."
