Well, in the case of the OP, the alternative is the manufacturer: https://www.ifixit.com/Tools

With a healthy enough dose, you can speedrun this by cutting the eggs, coffee, wine, and steak.

Turns out addiction is more of a debuff. Congrats and admiration to you, Bizzle!

I’ll use this space as a gentle reminder of one the internet’s oldest rules, everybody:

I fully own that. But I like the logical ordering of the page sections on the wiki, and if anything is unclear or info is missing there–which it is pretty rare–I’ll hit up man in desperation

And if you’re not a 50 year-old Linux admin, Arch wiki.

Edit: don’t be put off by the Arch wiki if you don’t use Arch. 99% of the time, Linux is Linux, and you can follow it for just about anything other than package management.

Imagine that being your fuel for every day. Oh, and while you’re at it, wrangle one or more small [animal-like] children all day, keep the entire house clean, and dinner better be ready when I get home–it’s been a hard day at work. And stop being such a bitch, eh?

The booze was less of a diet aid and more of an anti-psychotic, I assume.

Man, the Windows implementation of virtual desktops is beyond useless to me to the point of exponential loss of productivity. That’s probably my fault for thinking it’s the same use case as workspace switching in Unix–it’s really more like KDE’s Desktop Sessions feature, which is nice, but not really useful for my case.

Be free! Install all the DEs/WMs your heart desires.

Regarding the multiple entries for X and Wayland versions of a particular DE: for the most part, I think xwayland has solved this, but as always–for better or worse–you have the freedom to go either way.

This is the first time I’ve heard of this, and I pretty much always have more than one DE installed and have never run into issues. Assuming you’re using a display manager (SDDM, LightDM, etc.), it should handle loading whichever graphical session at the time of login properly.

edit: For clarity, what do you mean by “installing another DE *on top * of an existing one”–like kludging two DEs together in the same X/Wayland session? If so, that sounds like a horrible mistake that lead to that happening.

Same here with the Super+<number> to switch (or equivalent function key if you use that binding for something else), and similarly Super+Shift+<same key used to switch to workspace> to send the current window to that respective workspace. For me, without the second one workspaces are waayy less productive.

ngl though, in that context, a half liter of water per query is also fucking insane.

Nah man–I did the same thing, but turned all units into power consumption. Regardless, my point was that you can’t drink AI, and maybe prioritizing the usage of vital resources needs to be reassessed.

Sorry, I thought we were talking about the amount of power desalination uses. Didn’t even know AI consumes water.

edit: wait a minute–why the fuck does AI consume water???

Second edit: sorry, I got caught up in the original comment talking about the cost per minute for desalination, and immediately went to assuming they were talking about energy costs.

Erectioneering, you say?

It’s like those showerthought ultimatums : You can choose to gain eternal life, but every day your dick is the subject of the worst pain you’ve ever felt.

Living day-to-day life like a Diablo minmaxer.

Oooh oooh, now do one for the AI GPU farms. Now, a lot of people would argue these are not a comparable use of vital resources, what with water being critical for the survival of all life, and AI the current billionaire snake oil.

But I mean, what’s really more important than generating capital to grow the net worth of a few people by a few percents so that we can input text to generate pictures of a sick-ass panther or stories that lose the plot less than three sentences in?
