Correct, it’s because the government found a cash cow with trucking companies. If I recall something like 80% of diesel cost is tax. Truckers pay for our roads and bridges, to a point.

Wow, I had forgotten doing this. Amazing. I remember seeing m.2 drives probably 5 years after they came out and going wtf is this thing. I’ll be dead soon jim

Regardless it’s an i7 that is 15 years newer than my amd fx, and the fx wasn’t a good cpu when it was new . I don’t recall the i7 model off the top of my head

I was told these machines have that feature “disabled” but I trust that as much as a politicians word.

Freetube my friend

Thats fair

Brave new World and 1984 combined in 2025 😃

The mind is a muscle. Don’t ignore it. Especially now, if you use your mind you’ll be light-years ahead of ai addicts.

Maybe people should actually learn to use their brains so they can read slightly more difficult articles. Holy shit are we gonna have some idiots running around in 10 years. Didn’t think we could get dumber but here we are. (I’m not including people with learning disabilities obviously, they may need an article written or summarized differently to grasp it).

Yeah exactly or they just say we are trying to be superior and annoying tech autists xD

Agree

If these are truthful, I will always be looking for this badge.

Sadly people will lie and we cannot catch them once ai becomes too good.

Thats the thing…there’s no way ill convince people to get off discord now that they just got comfortable with it all.

Studies have shown ads cause depression. But holy crao are people desensitized now. Its infuriating.

Well I have multiple crts haha. I use my flat-screen too and it looks fine. I’ve never cared about visual quality as much as audio

Still using my tapes today. Work great and they do what I want, no ads, no subscriptions, I own it. Younguns missed out on the best time. They wont own a thing and will be consumed with ads and depression

Wanted to try bazzite but on my 13 year old cpu and mobo it wouldn’t boot. Mint ran perfectly.

You have vr games working on linux? Im surprised

Have you noticed more and more people “blank behind the eyes?” I have. Like a real life ai model.

True that was a disruption but this is far far worse. And will only get worse.
