Absolutely!

In 2020 I built a gaming PC and at the time decided to dual boot because I wasn't going to spend all this money and miss out on some games. However, not 6 months later I dissolved the dual boot config because my son and I never found a game we cared to try that was Windows only.

Proton is a translation layer that helps run Windows games in Linux. It works seamlessly with Steam so you don't have to worry about it at all... so far, ZERO problems. Of course, YMMV depending on the games you are interested in; however, you can check in advance in ProtonDB, this site will tell you if the game you want to play can be played well on Linux (assuming the game is not ported already).

I also went with a derivative Linux distro that is geared toward gaming so it comes with almost everything you'd need. It's called GarudaLinux I liked it so much it is now my daily driver for work as well (even though this is one of those "risky" Linux distro since it is a rolling release, meaning you are on the edge of tech available, and I update it weekly... other than some small issues here and there, it's been going strong for 4 years)

If you have a movie collection, you'd have no problem either unless they are DMR protected somehow... if so, there are ways to watch them but it would depend on what you downloaded... However, if these fishes we are talking about came from the high seas, you'd have no problem. There are some discrepancies regarding hardware support for certain codecs but it all boils down to efficiency, not whether you can play them or not.

I have a VAST collection (3500+ movies, 400 TV shows) in a Linux server that I access throughout my house with many devices (PCs, phones, FireTV sticks, Raspberry Pi, etc) by using an Emby server... Emby is free to use but you get to pay for some features... if you want the fully free and open source version you can go with Jellyfin... I only went with Emby because 6 years ago (maybe more?) when I started, Jellyfin was a bit behind... now they have caught up but I already bought Emby so I keep using it.

So?... I am the CEO... I know our new line of highly anticipated space tentacle dildos are not going to be in stores by Christmas as expected, I give notice and sell stock before the public finds out and stock goes down

I also know, because of the delay, we are squeezing the Chinese manufacturer, so I will give notice and buy the stock in January knowing we are probably going to offer deep discounts to get those consumers back

How is giving advance notice any safety? unless the rules say they need to give 500 days of notice or something long enough there is no possible way to predict properly with ALL the information and power a CEO would have to manipulate the stock

Since the invention of traffic lights people could just ignore them.... Now we know some AI "feature" will ignore them.

See the difference?

If you have degoogled, even if partially, I doubt you'd find moving to Linux hard

Probably the hardest part would be to chose a distro... Stick with the main ones (Debian, Fedora or Arch) to start (you can chose one of their derivatives but pick a famous one so you can have easier time finding documentation)

And for such small reward!

Oh yes, I can ask about a brown bag once saw and don't remember... Or maybe I forgot if that document I created was in my "Documents" folder or not .... Wow, the future is now

How could a CEO of any company trade his own stock from the company and not be insider trading?

The fact they are allowed to control stock is laughable... At best, stock from the company you control should be in a blind trust (which would still be laughable but we can at least pretend)

Yes but you see, he is a billionaire... Insider trading and other laws are for the pauper rich

Cost benefit? I thoight you said no matter of the likelihood was low...

Even if the likelihood was low, the enormous harm that could have been caused by Ebola spreading to the US outweighs a mere inconvenience for a small number of people.

By this logic and threshold, the only logical solution would be to isolate entirely... No more flights, no more imports. The current risk of all that traffic is way higher than the risk you are clutching pearls about now

I fully expect every word that comes out of any president's mouth to be a lie, but I used to trust the CDC, and now I can't.

Ok, good luck with that ...

Ebola can only be transmitted by blood... Other body fluids may cause transmission for a person only if they are already showing symptoms... I'm pretty sure doctors who specifically flew abroad to help with this disease would know this ... Quarantining them would likely do nothing

Arguing against a panicked Karen rule which would only hurt the few people actually helping fight this disease sounds like the right thing to do

Fauci is far from perfect but you are basically making the same hysterical claims MTG is doing, albeit without spitting as much, pretending the guy carrying a lighter in his pocket is as much at fault as the idiots in charge (Trump and co at the time) who completely fumbled the response to the worst pandemic in a century... Showing once again, Murica is a functionally a third would country with money

I'm not sure LLM model can really "learn" much... they can be tinkered for sure and more/better data fed to them... but at the end of the day, LLM models are just very smart parrots, there is no real "I" in these "AI" models

You need to drop big money for the new PCs that can run this crap... Plus you can bet they'll mine your data and sell you off like a chubby prostitute from the 1800s
