    Giving up on modern software.

    Honestly, at this point it feels like Ubuntu is trying to follow in the footsteps of Windows, it's become somewhat bloated, I'd recommend giving Mint a try, it's a nice all-round OS. Though, depending on what you use the PC for some other OS might be better.

    Is this the Beginning of the End for the AI Bubble?

    Regarding the costs, for an employee the cost is pretty much know, it's their salary, for AI not so much. There is the implementation cost, one time and mostly known, but even here additional costs can creep. Next are the monthly costs, depending on how stuff gets implemented, there could be...

    Trump is the most corrupt US president in history

    Notice that I used the word signed and not negotiated. I'm not saying that the judge has anything to do with the terms, just that he also signs the settlement, and even that didn't happen in this case, as the only signature on the document(as far as I've seen) is the DOJ.

    Trump is the most corrupt US president in history

    You're kind of missing the point, but I didn't explain it too well either. The judge in this case wasn't even sure that there is an actual case, as the judge wasn't sure there were 2 sides. So, the judge asked Trump to prepare a brief to show that, as you put it, citizen Trump and president...

    Trump is the most corrupt US president in history

    Not really, he basically sued himself for something that happened during his presidency.The lawsuit would most likely been thrown out or at least delayed until he wasn't president, since there was the problem that there were no 2 sides while Trump was president. Then he basically settled with...

    Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Big Bang Theory . do you really find it funny

    Big Bang Theory was funny in the beginning, afterwards it was kind of hit and miss, there were times it was funny and times it wasn't. Generally, I find Jimmy funny, but as with all comedy there are times it works and times that it doesn't. As far as late night shows go, I personally prefer...

    Poll: is Trump suffering from dementia?

    The thing with dementia is, that you often remember things from long ago, but can't remember the last sentence you said. I lived and took care of my grandmother, who had dementia, and she had very similar pattern, where we would be talking about something(what's on TV, or what to make for...

    The COVID-19 vaccine in retrospect

    As I see it, a lot of people, that should be native speakers, don't understand that the word immunity can have different meaning depending on the field it is used in. Kind of like the word "root" will have a different in meaning depending if you ask a botanist, a dentist, a mathematician, or...

    Games that respect the player's skill?

    I recall one of the Devil May Cry games had you fight the final boss in the beginning and you could actually win the fight, though I don't think the fight would be considered scripted as much as that the boss is just insanely strong. If you did beat the boss the game ended there and you got an...

    Do You Want Full Dev Details or Just Big Updates?

    I my opinion, you should always do an easily readable list of all updates, without going into to much depth(for example: fixed jump bug, changed level C layout, etc.). Then, if you feel like it,you can do something like a dev journal, where you go into more depth.

    When did Ubisoft go bad?

    I'd say somewhere after Assassins Creed 3. It felt like they were trying too much to chase the trends instead of working on their own thing. Also after this point they kind of started to half-ass things, so the overall quality of their games went down.

    Update: US and Israel begin bombing campaign against Iran

    Putin is a lot of things(most of them bad), but crazy isn't one I would use, he's surrounded himself with too many yes men, which, in part, caused the Ukraine war. As far as nuking goes, that would be stupid for multiple reasons. For one, he wants Ukraine for the resources, can't really get...

    Jeffery Epstein's brother says he didn't kill himself, accuses Donald Trump in FBI tip.

    Honestly, I can believe it being suicide, but I also won't deny the possibility that he was coerced into doing it. Something along the lines of "Either you do it yourself, or we'll do it and then it won't be easy for you".

    Valve/Steam is being sued for his monopoly

    Yeah saw that, and it seems that Patent Troll supreme has punched a wall this time, as he tried to get Valve to pay for a patent they already have a permanent contract for. It also seems like Valve are going for Rothschild instead of one of his companies, so fingers crossed, that he gets spanked...

    Valve/Steam is being sued for his monopoly

    As far as that goes, as long as you have a version of the game that does not use the Steam infrastructure, you're free to sell it for however much you want. Though there have been reports, that sometimes Steam has been a bit overzealous with this and banning games that had versions that didn't...
