Can you remove the drive? Could remove the drive and put it on another computer then install Linux then reinstall the drive into the Macbook?

Forking the codebase and stripping out any AI code is much easier than trying to invent another wheel.

I never said otherwise. I simply said that using Librewolf is not boycotting Firefox.

Using Librewolf isn’t boycotting Firefox. Librewolf is a soft fork and is dependent on Mozilla for updates. You could switch to Ladybird or something more obscure, but I don’t think you’ll achieve much with that either.

These days the vi command on your machine is almost definitely actually vim just running in a mode with limited features to emulate vi.

Erm. What? Try learning German without speaking to Nazis…

Is the silicone used in anal toys different than the one used for vaginal toys?

I can answer this question specifically, no idea about egg vibrators in general. If it is actual silicone (and be careful, a lot of cheap Amazon sex toys are not actual silicone), then it’s non-porous and body-safe. In terms of pathogenic safety, any silicone toy can be used both vaginally and anally, and shouldn’t grow bacteria/mould/etc inside it. Toys made specifically for anal will be made of harder silicone to make sure it can penetrate, and you probably know this but should have a flared base for anal. But some toys designed for vaginas also satisfy those qualities.

Actual silicone can be safely boiled. I boil my dildos to disinfect them (after washing with soap and water first). I use gentle pH-neutral soap so as to not damage the toys.

I use Prism Launcher offline mode since I only play singleplayer.

If you use a gtk theme they look fine. Most Linux users will have a gtk theme.

GTK? Depends on how important cross-platform support is for you. I’ve heard GTK programs don’t look great on Windows, but it does support Windows. GTK is written in C as well—Qt is in C++ so that might be where some of your problems are coming from, I’ve not tried making any kind of GUIs in C though.

Oh so you’re saying the latter.

Fuh-saad is pretty in line with English pronunciation “rules” (though English doesn’t really have pronunciation rules the same way other languages do—see though, through, cough, bough, etc). Maybe a more “English” way of saying it would be fuh-sayd, but I think the c would be interpreted as a soft c even if it weren’t a loanword. Again, hard to say with English which is notoriously inconsistent though.

New tech isn’t socially neutral. Should we be excited about the possibilities of new missiles and warplanes? If you understand how that new technology can be bad, you can understand how other new technologies can also not be “exciting”. Capitalism produces for the sake of production. We have plenty of useless shit that exists for the ouroboros of profit and marketing rather than to fulfil some natural use case. I think modern LLMs fall into the former, not to mention the energy cost of the current demand. I think LLMs can be cool as toys/for demos/as academic projects/etc but the current prevalence is purely due to marketing and AI companies trying to make something that is quite expensive, profitable.

I’ve never heard anyone of any native language pronounce it fack-aid? The English speakers I hear always say fuh-saad. Or are you saying that fack-aid is how you pronounce it and you struggle with fuh-saad?

That’s because you’re American. That’s how you say it with an American accent. Like think about how Brits say “sure” vs how Americans say “sure”. Americans pronounce the R far more.

I think I was just pronouncing everything wrong for the first several years I was speaking English because I learnt English from books and never heard most words out loud. But I don’t remember anything being physically difficult to pronounce in terms of emulating how it’s said when I first hear it pronounced “correctly”.

Having to replace perfectly functional Pixel phones because GOS stopped making updates for them. I don’t blame GOS as they’re a FOSS project and their end of support coincides with Google’s end of support, but it still feels bad replacing perfectly functional hardware. Wish release cycles were much slower so support for existing devices could be focused on, instead of having to spend time porting to every new phone dropped like every year or whatever.

Any serif font is fine by me. I’ve been going with whatever Zathura’s default epub font is.

I would not say that reading a book is the way to go about it. At least the way I learned was just through using my computer like normal, and naturally I ended up using the terminal for some things e.g. updating packages, doing simple operations like moving files around, etc. I don’t think it’s a good idea to specifically try to “learn the command line” as a directed/targeted goal, because like you said you could end up learning a bunch of stuff you never use.

Follow artists you like who don’t use genAI? There are loads of them.
