With the head of a cat and the body of an erpillar

Probably because this is just a poor implementation of one. Here’s an example from ChatGPT:

Sure! Here are some motivational four-word quotes:

1. “Believe in your dreams.”
2. “Never give up, ever.”
3. “Success is the journey.”
4. “Live life with passion.”
5. “Dream big, achieve bigger.”
6. “Push through the pain.”
7. “Stay positive, stay strong.”
8. “Embrace the unknown journey.”
9. “Hard work pays off.”
10. “Rise above the challenge.”

It seems like every time I see a bad example of an LLM failing, people seem to associate it with every LLM. Like most things, not all LLMs are the same quality.

For DVDs, I’ve never had an issue. They just amplified the BS on BluRays tenfold.

I went the route of a physical collection, but man do they make it difficult unless you get a commercial player that is likely to have ads and doesn’t integrate well into a home theater setup.

I’ve taken to doing everything I can to play things through my computer, but they do everything in their power to make them unplayable. This includes things like adding hundreds of bogus playlists so you don’t know which one to play, adding extra layers of encryption that cause image corruption a few chapters into the movies, and more.

If they just allowed you to easily watch and rip the movies that I pay actual money for, I think a lot more people would be open to a physical collections of their favorites. As it stands, I can’t really recommend it.

I really really tried to like it, but I would constantly run into issues with files not deleting properly and would get database errors regularly. If the intent was to separate management of the underlying database, all it did was cause headaches.

Not to mention, not being able to easily just go under the hood to the file system and remove something drove me up a wall. Just let me delete my files, dammit!

I ended up just using a big-standard file share on TrueNAS.

The thing that always gets me about these theories:

Okay, it’s revealed the Earth is flat and all of our modern science is a coverup. How does this affect me in my day to day life? I still have to go to work tomorrow.

Don’t forget about the hidden ProgramData directory at the root of the file system. Ableton Live likes to install there for some ungodly reason.

I only use Sync for extensions, history and bookmarks. I use an alternative pw manager for the same reason.

arming it with features including access to “real-time” information and views undeterred by “politically correct” norms.

Oh cool. Another Nazi bot in the making.

I feel like I’m from an alien planet. I’ve been using nVidia cards exclusively since around 2014 and while I’ve certainly not had a perfect track record, 90% of the time, I’ve been pretty plug-and-play. Maybe I’ve been lucky or maybe it’s because I stick to the popular distros.

In either case, from the perspective of openness, I do agree with the community that drivers shouldn’t be shrouded in mystery.
