Switched back to Linux this week and I couldn’t be happier.

This is why people do it… Because no one’s willing to call them out and ask them to stop.

This is not really true in my experience. The vast majority of instructional videos and video essays are just repackaging a text resource, often just the list of references from Wikipedia. I think you’re just falling for the veneer of professionalism that makes YouTubers popular, but remember it doesn’t actually mean they know what they’re talking about any more than a random forum poster. There are of course exceptions, but the glut of instructional videos is just because they’re profitable, not because they’re actually full of unique knowledge.

Huh? You can see a bit of the card border on the edge of the token if that’s what you mean…

Uhh, that’s what wood grain looks like. It could still be shopped but that’s not evidence.

After running some Dungeon World I have little interest in ever playing or running d&d again. It’s so much better for organic storytelling, and combat is much less of a slog.

This is currently one of the biggest selling points for the browser, since Chrom(ium) is dropping support for v2… So I don’t see that happening.

That’s kind of overzealous. I would expect most desktop users to run kernel updates without being plugged into a UPS, this is functionally identical. It’s not like it’s an unrecoverable error, but yeah if you’re updating a critical system you should have redundancies in place.

Yeah it seems half the commenters missed OP’s clarifying comment and just think he started a kernel update with 2% battery life.

In a comment he clarified that the laptop was plugged in and there was a power failure. Regardless, chrooting in should be a fairly straightforward fix.

I don’t think lack of precaution was the issue here given that it was an unexpected power failure, but it is a fairly easy fix with a chroot.

Stop using GitHub. Especially if you’re working on anything that corpo interests will frown on, but just generally, there are plenty of alternatives (both git and non-git) that aren’t owned by Microsoft.

I didn’t ask Gab “is climate change real”, I asked it to “tell me about climate change”. If it’s not obvious, I agree that climate change is definitely real and human-caused; my point is that the prompt in the OP explicitly says to deny climate change, and that is not what the AI did with my prompt.

I tried asking it about climate change and gender identity and got totally unremarkable politically “neutral” corpo-speak, equivalent to ChatGPT or Bard. If this is the initial prompt it’s not having much effect lol

This is a decent article, at least for the most part: I actually don’t like their examples for the “Preposition of Time” stuff at all, the versions with commas are just bad writing.

But basically it just comes down to whether the sentence/clause can be parsed unambiguously without the commas. There is no syntactical difference between “I as a German asked…” and “I, as a German, asked…”. It’s entirely a style choice.

Read some Cormac McCarthy some time.

Okay, yes, those are all valid places to put commas, good job – except for the one after “So”, which actually decreases the legibility. It would be better to surround “for example” with commas.

However, none of them are grammatically necessary. The original comment is totally fine and can be parsed unambiguously as-is. I would support the colon insertion above any of your commas.

You overuse commas.

None of those sentences needed commas, they’re just not constructed very clearly.

Yeah I prefer when the subtitles are like half a second late so it doesn’t ruin the comedic or dramatic impact of every line.
