mp4 is not really a video format. Depending on how recent they are they'll play a broader or narrower range of MP4 files, depending on codec selection.

Was using CUDA a problem?

Does someone want to convince me that the whole AI industry is training their models on windows machines?

But by that standard, Windows isn't ready either...

There is a lot to dislike about this building, but the amount of total architectural nonsense in that thread is painful.

What you read is true, and also total nonsense.

There is not too much point in discussing privacy and security without a threat model.

So once you put your threat model into focus, you can discuss how to mitigate those threats and pick the right browser for you.

Yeah, I work in a making very high end scientific equipment. Almost almost the whole operation runs on Linux. All laptops are refurbished Thinkpads, and most desktops are pretty old and slow from a maimstream POV, but they are just fine for the task, and then some. My "new" laptop I got last summer is a 2018 laptop which cost 300€ refurbished.

If I can do decent science on that, I'm not sure what everyone else needs a 2000€ machine for.

I'm sure someone does, but I expect really they're few and far between.

I understand that Brave is a very good browser, from a technical standpoint, but it just feels annoying. For one, the constant crypto advertisement is a real turn off.

Firefox is also the only real mobile browser that lets me have extensions, so I can use stuff like uBlock or BypassPaywall.

Most Europeans don't hate Americans and those who do are not worth being around anyway.

On the other hand... Yeah, your leadership's right now really sucks.

But if I had to wait for presentable leadership of my country to show my face abroad, I'd still be living at my parents...

Observation 1: we are seriously here discussing which big tech platform people use to listen to the maybe the last truly decentralised media.

Observation 2: the discussion makes sense in the context.

We really fucked up this internet thing, didn't we?
