It's not real.

There are so many hot Easter bunny pics, furiends

There is already nobody watching. That's probably why they did this to begin with.

It definitely has many compromises and I wouldn't use it for hosting something in production or something like that. (Is that something people do?) It is situationally very useful though, usually for things I used to spin up a VM for. I'm happy to have it available as a tool when I need to use Windows.

Yeah, I've done it before with my desktop with NVIDIA graphics. ROCm support would be new to me.

I think in threads where an obviously well-informed computer user asks a question about how to accomplish something or troubleshoot something in Windows, it's pretty much never helpful to recommend using Linux instead. They probably know about Linux. They either must, or want to use Windows. It's a pretty common occurrence, however.

Though these days, you might get to recommend Linux anyway by saying "you should use wsl2."

Did you ever learn more about this? I can take a stab at it later.

It's pricey, but I haven't regretted it. I was in the second batch of deliveries for the 16.

I try to do an "end-run" around federation drama by using my own instance, especially since I prefer to be as openly federated as possible. This is not without drawbacks, but it's really not bad.

My fear is that one day the biggest instances will switch from using block lists to instead only federate with an allow-list. That would basically make this use non-viable.

It’s not quite as good as reddit was for me when reddit was good.

My hope/expectation is that for lemmy (and the wider "threadiverse," e.g. kbin) the best days are still to come.

Elon Musk is a brilliant inventor nonpareil. He invented tunnels, rockets, electric cars, and now Twitter.

I got a 2023 Bolt EUV a few months ago and I love it. (I wanted the EV but I couldn't find any.)

I'm curious if disabling the OnStar stuff is as "simple" as it is in the 2019 models.
