The last frame gives the community name a different vibe.

True, especially if it's oriented at a consumer and not commercial.

Edge AI inference is very valuable, just not in this context.

In getting mixed vibes. It feels like it's people with no relationship prospects (for whatever reason, and I can attest to this as one of them) who might tend toward the "2d girls > 3d girls" crowd getting a harsh reminder. That and the music.

This is exactly why I do the dishes after a good meal. I can't relax with the thought of a sink full of dishes, they need to be handled!

Do you particularly need a gaming laptop for such infrequent use? I can't solve the blackouts / in for repair or upgrades issue, but I personally got a Steam Deck for this niche in my life and prior to that I used Moonlight to game stream from my home desktop when on vacation.

Not optimal for FPS games but for my use (MMO) more than sufficient. Just a couple potential options, obviously YMMV - Moonlight depends on your Internet connection on either side.

What's your budget?

And yeah, Asus went downhill like half a decade ago. They used to be my goti but now I avoid them. I personally like Lenovo, but that's for their second hand business laptops that end up on eBay, so I can't speak to their consumer gaming brand.

Not me, but my parents, though I discovered it during a visit.

Bats. They had a bat infestation. This was up at the highest point of the house in the loft, they were remodeling and left the walls open - a hole to the outside let one in, and I guess a bunch decided it was a nice place to hang out. There were dozens.

As for dealing with it - bats are endangered, so you can't exterminate them. If I remember correctly the total spend was just over 10 grand. This also included installing multiple permanent one way doors so if any bats manage to get in again, they have multiple ways to get out.

Is there another meaning to "PSA" that isn't "public service announcement"? It confuses me being in the title as this entire post is written as a suggestion / CTA, not a PSA.

"Peoples' aversion to walking is stunningly ridiculous and shouldn't be enabled."

Sounds different if we choose a different activity. Such a blanket statement is offensive and doesn't factor in disability.

There are some things I've grown to like. I feel better represented by my choice of instance. I could self host my own, but don't really want to incur that maintenance. I do like that if my instance were to do something I disagree with, I don't have to leave the community as a whole like I did with Reddit, and should instead find a new home.

I also kind that it's easier to filter out the personalities that bother me, since they tend to flock to specific instances. I still have to contend with them occasionally, but that's no different than Reddit, but less often.

Most of my interactions here have been with reasonable people, even when we disagreed. It does feel a little quiet at times, but that's ok.

I switched at the start of the month, with the uncertainty around the economy I finally did my PC upgrade I'd been procrastinating, and - why get a windows license? Just go Linux.
