You realize there are a large number of LGBT Republicans, right?

I've actually not worked anywhere that has used CrowdStrike. It's usually ruled out as too expensive (I've mostly worked in public sector). I've had very good experiences with Sentinel One and Microsoft Defender. I've had terrible experiences with Trellix and Sophos."Oopsy" aside, is CrowdStrike really that much better than the competition?

I have trouble believing that 6.5ms in increased latency would be perceptible to any more than a fraction of a percent of the most elite gamers. Most the people claiming that this level of difference is impacting their gameplay are victims of confirmation bias.

We can't have people doing things like searching for Tiananman Square or Mao Zedong or talking about how Taiwan and Hong Kong want complete independence from China.

I'm sure a big part of the cost is the additional infrastructure and manpower to implement all of China's censorship, tracking, etc.

I tried to get this to work a couple of times and gave up. I was trying to rebind a mouse button (back) to a macro and just gave up after a while. I ended up using the G Hub on a Mac and applying settings to the onboard config. I like the idea of Solaar, but the initial learning curve was more effort than I wanted to put in to rebind a single key.

Claude 3 + Kagi is the exact combo I use. Claude has been my go to since discovering it didn't have the same level of curation / censorship models like ChatGPT and Gemini have.

I picked up Kagi the day they released their $10/mo plan and I don't see myself dropping it unless their quality degrades or price increases substantially. The search result I want is typically in the first few results, while Google was just ads the first few results, SEO spam, and then MAYBE the result I want near the end of the page.

I've had Kagi for several months now and have no desire to go back. Brave is horrible, DDG is bad, and Google is bad AND Google. I decided it was time to trim subscriptions a few months ago and chose to ditch ChatGPT and keep Kagi.

I recently traded a friend my Nvidia 3070 for his Radeon 6700 XT, because I'd returned to Linux a few months ago and was tired of Nvidia. Nvidia should will likely get much better as NVK grows, but I think it's better to just not use their products unless you want to have Microsoft spywareOS installed on your computer.

My first thought was Dazed and Confused. I'm not sure if it's more iconic in Gone in 60 Seconds, as I've never seen it.

They really don't want this to happen, which I think is a big part of the push behind the "AI is dangerous" narrative. They want to put in place regulations and 'safeguards' that will prohibit any open-source, uncensored, or otherwise competitive models.

Apple Music is privileged when it comes to Siri. I currently have both a Spotify and Apple Music subscription, and one of the main reasons I prefer Apple Music, aside from shuffle not playing the same 20 songs in a 2000 song playlist, is the great hands free functionality. I can add songs to playlist, play a song next instead of adding it to the end of the queue (which is more of Spotify STILL not having deque support), and I know there are other things I've run into Spotify can't do on Siri, but I'm blanking at the moment.

I think your comment is also reinforced by the subjectiveness of the question, "What is toxicity?" While I can see a trend of decreasing respect for others, both online and in-person, the pendulum certainly swings in the other direction. Some individuals seek out any opportunities to play the victim and feel attacked, whether they do so consciously or not, and this seems to lead to those of this mentality calling any critique 'toxic'.

I'm not sure what you're referring to with the Like/Love button. It seems to be the same as it ever was for me, except the UI is different based on whether you're in CarPlay, mobile app, or desktop app, so sometimes it's a heart and sometimes it's a plus sign.

One of my biggest complaints for Spotify is the removal of star ratings, but that's been probably a decade ago at this point. Apple Music has it for the desktop app, but it's missing from mobile.

I used Soundshift. You can pay ~$7 to have unlimited exporting or do playlists 200 at a time for free.

That (deque) is actually one of my favorite features, and something that had tempted me in the past. I have to relearn some behavior on queue creation though. I'm use to just clicking play, rather than adding to queue, so I end up with a bunch of songs in queue that I didn't intend (because I played a song from a longer playlist to start).
