I see two new features that look fantastic, but the rest of the UI seems likely unchanged. I’ll definitely give it a shot though.

I’m doing it with a jellyfin client to my friend’s jellyfin server.

GIMP is unfortunately not a good competitor, the UX/UI is atrocious, and that’s after spending 25 years using it now… I switched to Krita for most things at this point. GIMP needs some sort of revamp.

Collection of personal data is arguably worth money to them though, for advertising and whatever else they’re doing.

A lot of their chips are fab’d in the US and Israel and Germany and others though. It’s weird that nobody has mentioned all their US fabs. The new ones coming up in Ohio shortly (construction has been going already) will be two next-gen fab plants.

Does Intel make its main CPUs in China for those high tariffs?

Looked it up and found this info at least:

Key US Locations:

Arizona (Fab 52 and 62), New Mexico (Fab 9 and 11x), and Oregon (Hillsboro) are major Intel manufacturing hubs in the US, with the new Fab 42 and 32 also being part of a larger campus in Arizona. Ohio is also a major site with construction well underway for two new leading-edge chip factories.

Global Footprint:

Intel also has manufacturing facilities in locations like Israel (Jerusalem, Kiryat Gat) and Ireland (Leixlip).

Expansion and Future:

Intel is actively expanding its global network with new fabs in Ohio, Germany, and other locations, according to Intel Newsroom and plans to make the German fab one of the most advanced in the world.

That’s wild, I would not be able to keep up with trends in the industry I work in as much if I isolated myself from everyone. But happy it works for you.

I just used that for export, but I have yet to try import on it. But I’m assuming it works well, it has good reviews as far as I remember.

Ren from Ren and Stimpy?

https://x.com/OpenAI/

This is one small example, but I get notifications on developer livestreams for new models and new API updates and feature releases. The OpenAI sub itself is not only too many hours late in publishing any of them, but it’s also only a fraction of the updates coming directly from the company itself. This extends to many other orgs and people I follow.

I’m a developer so I like to have quick access to new info to many frameworks and languages (and other lead devs that post updates.)

I keep a raspberry pi dedicated just to have NES/SNES/etc emulators via the “retropie” distro. I have thousands of ROMs that I can plug into any TV with HDMI and SNES/NES USB controllers for it. $100 for a full raspi kit to have full access to anything just by copying some files over to a microsd card. Can’t remember controller cost but that’s kind of a given requirement.

X is where people I want to follow post unfortunately. If they posted on mastodon, I would use that more. As it stands, a lot of people and creators I want to keep up with are only on a few select platforms at the moment. Maybe that’ll change in time but I doubt anytime soon. Same situation with YouTube, I’d like to stop using that too but it’s the only place to find certain things (small example: individual magicians who sometimes perform on Penn & Teller also post their own videos on YT only.)

They’re fighting harder for non-citizens than citizens at this point it seems. Not entirely sure why.

Have to agree sadly. I searched and followed many people, still my feed is completely devoid of anything useful or interesting. I can keep digging but I feel like a 1% incremental gain from weeks of trying to set the network/profile up and giving zero results feels like a lost cause to some extent. I periodically check back, and it’s more of the same unfortunately.

Never even crossed my mind because 'Murica and all but now I know when I use my passport to go full crazy mode ripping my bags apart to make sure. One time I checked in at the airport and had a small spring assisted knife in my laptop bag (utility purposes) but didn’t want to risk anything so I tossed in the trash before the scanners. Not worth any hassle, bought a new one instead after I got back. Knives and bullets seem like the worst case scenario in that context.

Also drastically improved overall energy levels all day for me.

Where did you go in the US if I may ask?

All of my UK/EU coworkers that fly here for business meetings always ask me to take them to the ranges here, they LOVE it because they don’t get to do it over there nearly as easily apparently. Everyone has a great time.

One guy from Poland wanted to take a spent casing back as a souvenir, but he said they have dogs that detect any gunpowder residue and didn’t want to risk going back with it.

You got me really curious so I prompted ChatGPT to give me a redditor style comment that’s anti-Trump followed by another far-left redditor’s reply to it and this is what it gave me:

Original Comment (Left-Leaning Anti-Trump Perspective):

“It’s honestly mind-blowing how Trump still has a cult following after everything. The man was impeached twice, incited an insurrection, and openly grifts his supporters with fake fundraising schemes. And yet, somehow, people still think he’s their ‘savior.’ The cognitive dissonance is off the charts.”

Far-Left Redditor Response:

“Because the system is fundamentally broken. Liberals act like voting blue is enough when the entire establishment—from corporate Dems to the GOP—is complicit in maintaining capitalism’s stranglehold. Trump is just a symptom of the rot. The real solution isn’t ‘vote harder’; it’s dismantling the system that enabled him in the first place.”

^ – this seems to be disturbingly accurate, I can only imagine this being produced at automated scale at this point.
