Home PCs are so powerful these days that a return to thin clients makes sense in many use cases.

AMD used to be the shit on Linux a decade ago, much better support than Nvidia. It looks like something changed, but I only use discrete intel GPUs so I’m way out of the loop.

The stars are for slingshotting through time, not for landing. You’ll be sent to remedial seasons of TNG.

Summary: Newfound evidence indicates that conscious experiences start as early as in late pregnancy. The study suggests that an infant’s brain is capable of forming conscious experiences that shape their emergent self and environmental understanding.

I agree that being capable of having experiences is a requirement for being a person, but it is not what defines a person, otherwise pet turtles would be persons.

Newborns are humans, and they develop into persons given time.

Earth is not even fucking sentient, it’s not even fucking alive. That’s how much it doesn’t give a fuck about anything.

Humans, with all our intelligence, can only dream of giving less fuck that Earth. What a legend.

Newborns are not even sentient enough to be persons. Humans are born prematurely, because our heads are so big we can’t be born fully developed, like most mammals, without risking the mother’s life. Their brains are not there yet.

Newborns are undercooked persons.

I agree that once they pass the “potato” phase and start behaving like humans, it becomes easier to connect and like them.

That being said, OP and his wife should go to therapy together. It could be that he feels drained from having to be there all the time, and they need to talk this over before it becomes a problem. Maybe OP’s not feeling apathy, but exhaustion.

I felt this warning in my bones. I am weak.

I find Jellyfin’s subtitle search much better than Plex’s. Bonus for leaving a subtitle file right along with your file, instead of buried somewhere else so you can’t easily edit it.

I wonder what erotic imagery he chose. Hot androids recristalize dillithium with their bare hands!

These comments are a shitshow. It has become not only acceptable, but the norm, to counter common sense argument with “your mom”.

Idiocracy was supposed to be a satire, we were supposed to be smart and educated, the kind of people that can’t be easily fooled. Every day we return to monke a bit more.
