I find the """man up""" school of thought generally works for me when faced w a tough situation but 97% of the time it's presented as an obnoxious show of bravado. What are better ways to phrase this? in c/[email protected]

"I have to get over this some time, why not now?"

~ Louis Wu, from Ringworld, written by Larry Niven.

"Because I'm not ready" is also a valid answer, but it gets your brain moving towards the goal I find.

Best website for downloading a pirated copy of Windows? in c/[email protected]

I was using TechBench to download ISO's from MS without having to change my useragent.

Sadly it looks like the project has been retired in favour of their Files project, but trawling through that to find entries that actually have download links is a royal pain in the ass.

If anyone has a tip on easily finding the latest download for each Windows version then I'd love to hear it.

Edit: Massgrave seems to be current best option: https://massgrave.dev/genuine-installation-media.html

Be less of a cock. Everyone was 12 once.

Discord is laying off 17 percent of employees in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

I pay for it.

The cost is worth the extra quality when working with others over screenshare etc. The community management features are useful. A large portion of my workflow is aided by discord and GitHub, both of whi h I pay for premium features.

I don't expect them to provide these services for free considering the huge boost they give to productivity. Expecting them to be free is naive.

I just hope it gets the same treatment that Stargate got, with a spin-off series to really explore the interesting ideas raised in an otherwise terrible movie

You can in fact insure things that it is possible to steal. Cars, bikes, household posessions, you name it. It's quite common.

You're totally, technically correct and I apologise :)

Reading this back it seems I've had a kneejerk reaction to seeing the word "AI" slapped onto a basic chatbot. I appreciate that yes, by all metrics it's an AI - yet it draws a parallel between this kind of Hello-World chat-bot and the current state of AI, which I felt is misleading. Like comparing a canoe to a cruise ship, you know?
