Not sure how I managed this but I installed windows long after Linux on my gaming PC (to use a VR headset that was given to me), and somehow it created its own EFI partition without nuking the real one.

I see no point in keeping my power hungry monster awake 24/7. I’m in any game less than 3 minutes after a cold boot.

When seasoning meat, remember that you are also meat and therefore susceptible to be seasoned.

They ran ICE ads and only stopped because the campaign ended, not because of massive backlash: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jan/09/spotify-no-longer-running-ice-recruitment-ads-after-us-government-campaign-ends

They hosted and donated to the orange shitstain while disproportionately targeting “controversial” black artists: https://www.themarysue.com/spotify-supporting-donald-trump-is-horrifically-hypocritical-after-how-theyve-treated-controversial-black-and-brown-musicians/

Spotify openly supports nazis.

Basically the whole shenanigans around cheating at every single turn to get a car in the points. Every single member of the team would get a disqualification/ban faster than you could spell “crashgate”. I think they could have written an entertaining story without breaking every single racing rule in the book several times per race.

It’s a pretty solid movie if you don’t give an actual fuck about F1. It’s a wildly unrealistic fantasy film with bland, one dimensional characters and I would have enjoyed it a lot more if it was set in a fantasy series. Grounding it in an hyperrealistic setting with real teams, real cars, real people on real tracks is too much of a cognitive dissonance for me.

The actual racing footage slaps tho. But the movie itself is miles away from Rush or Ford v Ferrari/Le Mans '66, which are actual good racing movies based on (heavily dramatized) real events.

As other said DeepL is European and a good option. I have no idea how much data they collect.

If you want to guarantee zero data collection, running a model like Ministral locally on your device using a trustworthy front end is probably the only option.

C15 was probably white in 1986 and is now a mixture of dirt, moss, rust and soot. Inside, it smells an almost unbearable melange of engine oil, dust, ashtray, wet dog and crumbling pleather. Somehow it still runs perfectly, except for the radio.

Not sure what your point is but when I was in high school, I saw a lot of theater productions with my class. Not local or amateur productions but professional ones on national tours. And also a lot of contemporary an thought provoking plays.

It’s not the best and given the choice, I’d rather bike in dry weather but with the right equipment (waterproof jacket, waterproof overpants and waterproof shoes), it’s fine.

It’s been raining nonstop for months here and I’m still happier on my bike than in any alternative like getting stuck in traffic for hours searching for a parking spot or shoving myself in public transportation with hundreds of people including reeking teenagers who confuse a shower with Axe body spray.

The entire country of the Netherlands have proven that infrastructure, not weather, makes cycling the most popular mode of transportation. Hell, most of Nordic big cities are cycling heavens despite their shitty snowy/rainy weather.

Because it’s a surveillance state baby. Everything is uploaded to a central server so our corporate overlords can monitor our usage.

And guess what, the company I work in proudly announced today they will replace our internal chatbot with ChatGpt Enterprise. It’s like they gladly and actively increase their dependency on an enemy state.

Not true. 500Mb models suck ass and are just here for fun. A lot of local models in the 2.5Gb range can run on a phone and produce very coherent output on par with free-to-use LLMs without actually destroying the planet (while using them I mean, training is still a nightmare).

“Fun” fact, political bias is baked in the local models too, don’t ask Qwen3 about what happened in Tiananmen Square in 1989…

Agentic IDEs like Cursor track usage and how much of the code is LLM vs human generated.

Which probably means it tracks every single keystroke inside it. Which rightfully looks like a privacy and/or corporate code ownership nightmare.

But hey at least our corporate overlords are happy to see the trend go up. The fact that we tech people were all very unsubtly threatened into forced agentic IDEs usage despite vocal concerns about code quality drop, productivity losses and increasing our dependence on US tech (especially openly nazi tech) says it all.

Ah shame, I did a quick simulation and shipping rates + taxes would more than double the cost.

Ah damn. Although if your local manufacturer ships to the rest of Europe, I’d be happy to try it out ;)

That’s a very low price. Is it quality filament ? Have any links ?

Thanks !

Sim racing and story-rich games mostly. Not the kind of games you can start and stop on a whim 😅
