I got a few songs into Citadel and I want to like them, but I feel they’d be better served as instrumental based on the painters of the tempest trilogy and pyrrhic. I’ll see about giving Exul a chance though, thanks for the recommendation!

Oh yeah, those are both right up my alley, thank you!

I love Polyphia, so I’ll have to check out Sungazer and Casiopea

A user of culture I see. I’ve not heard of Ne Obliviscaris, so I’ll have to check them out

Between the Buried and Me is one of my favorites, as is Parkway Drive recently. Other top artists are ones like gloryhammer, Amararanthe, and Alestorm. Outside of metal, bands like Supercommuter/Optimus Rhyme, MC Frontalot, mc chris, and Captain Dan tend to be my most played

One of my favorite random artists I’ve found recently is Anthony Vincent who makes songs covers in the style of other artists, and I just can’t get enough of Mr Brightside by A7X

“This isn’t a case of being inspired by something and building on it. It’s the opposite of that. It’s taking something that worked and making it worse. Is there even a goal here beyond ‘generating content?’”

The Sloptya Nadella way

Blowing their load already I see. AI can’t even automate individual tasks I do, it’s not going to do shit to my job in 2 years

And yet I doubt it will impact republican support by more than a precent or two at most

Not even the 2nd. That’s their next Epstein Files. They’ll use it to get elected, then take it away.

They already are. Look, name one other president that said anything close to ‘take their guns first, due process second’ or outright said a citizens’ murder by law enforcement was justified due to carrying a legal CCW with additional ammo?

Conservatives got played like a fucking fiddle, and they’re happy about it because minorities are suffering. Their only regrets is they’re getting hurt along with them.

We could also rent our couch! It’s only $25/month!

Seconding the guide, that sounds amazing. Plus, jack handy was one of my favorite bits from old SNL

Yet entirely expected. “Every accusation is a confession” has been a common trope for the Republican party for decades at this point for a reason.

How many age groups are children a part of?

Oh, you’re also including the predators too, my bad.

You’re not going to believe this, but they didn’t. Jenny got radicalized over the last 40ish years

Ring calls off public partnership with police surveillance provider Flock Safety

I would struggle to accept any statement that doesn’t match with my experience and the experience of the vast majority of the people I talk to about this.

Because you can tell me the sky is purple polka dots, but without evidence I’m not going to do more than listen to your experience.

ahem… politics is NOT pushing on tech…

Bullshit. There are plenty of examples of politics pushing on tech and tech pushing back. Tech may have its hands in politics’ pocket, but they don’t have a hand up their backside like you imply.

One thing to keep in mind though, is even on ssds you need to encrypt your data to be absolutely sure it isn’t recoverable. Nothing more permanently unrecoverable than deleting your encryption key short of physically destroying the media.

One nifty fact about ssds is they usually have a good amount of extra space (over provisioning, with newer drives having less so than older ones) to allow the controller to swap out bad blocks without losing available space or use it as cache. Because of this, you may have normally inaccessible blocks that still contain data but have been taken out of the normal usage pool.

Yeah, after all, LLMs are known for their ability to do things correctly and not make up tons of random bullshit.

Can I ask why matrix is a ‘no’?
