  • Great for you. To me is not so much a matter as to how much time but the timing. After all, you could as well be reading the most elevated book saga. On the contrary, there’s the addiction of doomscrolling… I have seen friends scrolling posts on social media even while on a pizza night surrounded by others. Or trying to have chat conversations with potential dating partners instead of an actual phone call. That’s the kind of thing I believe is troublesome, the lack of “here and now” awareness. And something similar goes to the constant checking. For example, if you or anyone uses their phone 4 hours in total, I’d say it’s better if that’s on bigger chunks than if it’s just a millon of small distractions throughout the day hindering many other activities.










  • And how did such replacement happen? It wasn’t out of nowhere but after a lot of turmoil, uprisings, and guillotines. The point being, there’s people outcries, prostest, and so on. I’m not endorsing violence, but we can’t just ignore that there was a process in-between. That’s the whole point of the quote, is up to grassroots movement to try and find a way to open a crack and then make it grow…









  • If you’re looking forward to use some LLM AI chatbot (e.g. ollama), you might prefer nvidia. I have been using my card without problems. If your only usecase is videogames and movies, then probably AMD is okay. Something similar might happen on regards to transcoding (serving movies to many devices), you might want to check which brand offers the best (some nvidia cards have hacks to enable features that are otherwise off because they segment market with that). In any case, depending on your usecase, you might prefer look into models actually, and not only the brand… on top of it, prices are fluctuating a lot. Perhaps you find a great card, for a great price, but with some compromise on the desired functionality. I’ve been there, ideally you want something to tackle all problems (incl. future desires of functionality and so on…)
