The Llama 3.1 models are probably the best all-rounders, with the Llama 3.1 8B version being the most popular.

Personally I never reached a point where I had to use any kind of storage software. All you need is a good external storage and a little bit of organization.

If anyone is serious about data storage I would honestly choose external SSDs or an enclosure that supports SSDs. I’ve had terrible experiences with hard drives failing over the years or clicking and corrupting my data.

I don’t know if there’s a source specifically for this but when I often get stuck and start repeating myself I look up Merriam Webster’s thesaurus and start replacing boring words with better ones.

So rather than say something like awesome I’d say a word like marvelous, lovely, etc.

How does this compare to Revolt?

Anything US-politics and anything erotic, like almost every community from furry & anime instances. Also every non-English communities like feddit.de and some hobby communities I don’t care for. Over time my feed got way cleaner and more fun to sift through.

I’ve had zero issues with nvidia on Linux lately. It works flawlessly on newer drivers, even on wayland.

For AI stuff you’d want something with at least an RTX 4060. AMD GPUs for laptops are not great and most of them don’t support AI. Any card that’s good for AI will also be good for gaming so you’ll be fine there.

You probably want something with 32gb of ram, too.

As for pulling out the wifi card, there’s no need. Most laptops let you disable wifi through the BIOS, completely disabling it at a system level.

Dual booting works on anything.

Generally I’d recommend Lenovo Legions, ASUS ROG stuff. If you’re rich you can also look into Razer I guess.

Where I live college professors are extremely well paid. Well, at least in private colleges.

TAs earn nearly nothing though.

You can buy an entry-level music instrument at around that price. That’s what I did a while ago and while it wasn’t life changing it was a lot of fun to have a new hobby.

Die, probably.

I never knew that, thanks for sharing! Also, username checks out.

Tea. Partially because it tastes better, but also partially because I have a low tolerance to caffeine. Drinking coffee just makes me feel jittery and shaky, not focused.

It depends on what you mean by piece of technology I guess, since what we have now is a culmination of thousands of awesome tech over the last few hundred years.

If I were to choose one thing, I’d say the telephone. It’s the predecessor to the internet, and suddenly communication between people was instant rather than messages that’d take forever (or morse for the places that had it).

It probably changed the world forever, being able to talk to someone in a completely different country and share something quickly.

Because they were getting really stale and they wanted to hold onto the franchise name anyways. People are nostalgic now, but when AC games were coming out back to back people were getting really bored of it.

When Assassin’s Creed 3 came out, everyone was saying how this is the third time they remade what is basically the same game (AC2, brotherhood, revelations, then 3). People weren’t impressed. Unity and Rogue didn’t sell that well. Syndicate apparently also didn’t sell very well.

So they basically remade the franchise into an RPG starting from Origins. They aren’t that special, but honestly, neither was everything after Revelations.

There’s a button in the bottom right to make the page wide. As for text size, I guess it’s kind of redundant since you can just zoom in the page.

Shoutout to !wizardposting@kbin.social and !witchymemes@lemmy.world as well!

I still use Eternity, but unfortunately it seems like development stopped. Still the best IMO.

Theres a whole trilogy?

My school at some point tried to be very extreme about being late. A new rule was that if you were late for even 1 minute, you won’t be allowed in the school.

I was literally walking to the door and saw a kid go in, but I wasn’t allowed in because oh I guess I was a few seconds too late.

Me and other teenagers crowded around the front door and the exchange was basically this

“So you won’t let us in?”

“No, you were late. Go home.”

And we all shrugged and took the day off. Needless to say the rule didn’t last very long and there were many angry parents.
