nVidia continues to do everything in its power to utilize decades old silicon instead of making an actual improvement on the tech.
It's been the case for a while now, but if you're not writing CUDA you probably shouldn't be buying nVidia silicon.

I like playing master duel but YGO turns are so insane and the deck I want to play is extremely binary (either my opponent can't do anything, or they have untargeted removal and I die) and ugh. I guess I could play Witchcrafters.

On top of everything else that's shitty about Generative AI, I'm realizing there are specific kinds of questions that have only been answered by two teenagers in a weird subforum, and so there's all these people making decisions based on bad advice and literary meanings derived by teenagers.

@octothorpe@mastodon.online As someone that lives in the conservative part of a "famously" liberal area, it made me so fucking mad. Yes, it can get worse! People were throwing out their garbage on my porch because we wear masks! People try and run me off the road because I drive a Prius! The shit can get absolutely insane, but they're so fucking sheltered they have no idea.

@octothorpe@mastodon.online Yeah, this is definitely a case of overloaded english, because I'm mostly talking about access; I want people to be able to engage with whatever they want! But when they do things like interact with 30 year old ideas/services like they're new it's weird!
Generically I even think a certain amount of gatekeeping is good, but think that it should be limited to things like doing the reading, for example :3
