No

Cool. I hope he also gets nailed with obstruction.

Does anyone know if the names on the petition are public or can be independently verified in any way?

I don’t trust these people and for all I know my name appears in the petition even though I’d never sign something so stupid.

Wait until they learn

Looooollll!!!

It’s Canadian oil money going to Canadian citizens.

When the Alberta economy collapses because the idiots refuse to diversify, you’ll be begging for those equalization payments from the other provinces.

Are those different versions of the game? If so, isn’t it just a matter of putting files in the right place or running a particular executable?

They likely won’t catch every bit of AI generated code, but I don’t think that’s the point. In my view the point is to take a stand and try. It also signals that the authors care about their code in a certain way.

There are all sorts of things that are impossible to perfectly enforce, but that doesn’t mean we just give up. Insider trading is extremely difficult to prove, and I bet more people get away with it than don’t, but I still think making it illegal is a good policy.

That’s the neat part: nothing!

I think a lot of it depends on use case and other components. I use KDE Plasma with Wayland, and have a 32:9 monitor. For games, I want to play at 16:9 or 21:9, so I use gamescope to reduce the aspect ratio. It’s likely that if I had a “normal” monitor, many of my problems would have disappeared.

I initially bought the nVidia GPU after hearing how far the drivers have come, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much did in fact work. It’s really too bad that I did run into enough annoyances to need to switch back to AMD.

Cyberpunk must run really well on your machine! I hope you enjoy it!

I was using a 4070Ti until 6 months ago when I switched. It was fine for the most part, but I also ran into a lot of games that would crash in gamescope or have rendering issues. There was also some other 3D software (Orca Slicer and FreeCAD come to mind) that didn’t work well with the GPU. Some software with embedded browsers also had rendering issues and needed certain environment variables set. Looking through the bug reports, the issues were related to nVidia.

Maybe the software and drivers hadn’t caught up to each other yet, but there were enough bugs supposedly related to nVidia hardware 6 months ago that made me want to switch.

I’ve had far fewer issues on the AMD GPU.

I think that machine should handle games at 1440 just fine, let alone 1080. Looks like a nice build!

Good call going with a Radeon for Linux. I have a 9070XT and it runs great! I used to have an nVidia GPU, and while it was fine for the most part, it was occasionally problematic (especially with gamescope)

One thing to check is the power connector on your GPU. If it has a 12V-2x6, getting a power supply that provides the same connector will make things easier.

I assume “real cat” as in no longer a kitten. Like a term of endearment: “all grown up like a real big cat!”

Technology isn’t always the answer. This adds more cost to the car and more maintenance cost, when the solution is to simply turn down the lights and make sure they are at the correct angle.

It’s also more complicated to operate. Supposedly my car has this feature and I have no idea if it’s working, but maybe I’m misunderstanding the manual.

We have a tendency to add technology and complexity to solve problems, but I’ve always tried to live by the saying “a good engineer knows what to leave out”. Though I do still over engineer things from time to time.

If you’re truly honest about wanting to improve your skills then do not use AI!

Just write code. Any code! It doesn’t matter. Spend the hours problem solving and debugging and banging your head against the wall. That’s how we all learned and gained experience. But also reach out and seek help about specific problems you can’t solve.

For a project idea, how about a program that uses the Lemmy API to scan resent posts for Python topics. It’s something that can start basic but can be expanded upon. Start simple by just scanning posts from the last day. Then expand by adding a configurable date range, scanning several communities, multiple topics, presenting notifications, etc.

Holy fuck this is racist!!

And yes, the Epstein files show that the rich are raping and assaulting.

Either this reply was meant for another thread or this is an absolutely wonderful example of whataboutism and straw man!

“We have to do more to give people hope when they’re suffering with mental illness — give people a sense that they can take back control of their lives,” Poilievre said, citing the promotion of fitness as a way to combat mental health issues.

Supporting a robust public healthcare system with national pharmacare will go a long way towards that.

Supporting affordable childcare will go a long way towards that.

Having an actual environmental policy will go a long way towards that.

Listening to actual experts instead of random xitter posts will go a long way towards that.

Actually supporting workers instead of just paying lip service and only supporting billionaires will go a long way towards that.

In fact, just disappearing entirely will go a long way towards that.

Agreed! I think both linting and type checking are extremely important to Python, but it’s also an extra step that far too many people just don’t take. And honestly, I used to get tripped up sometimes with setting up Python tooling before I started using uv.

Unfortunately I also have to work with the occasional Python script that someone just slapped together, and that’s something far too easy to do in Python. It does kind of remind me of vibe coding. Initial velocity seems high, but if you’re not thinking about it, long term maintenance tanks.

That’s not to say Python is bad, and there is certainly a lot of good Python code out there too. But it’s a language that does make it easy to make a mess, which will probably be compounded by LLMs.

I find that Python requires a fair bit of discipline to keep it readable, and I’ve seen some very unreadable code written by people. Vibe coding with Python’s dynamic nature seems like a match made in hell.
