Nice strawman. Nobody talks about the “European Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen” either, so what’s your point?

It’s a cool coincidence, though.

I mean, come on. The region called after the constellation with the north star, which aids with finding where the north pole is, has polar bears. Nice!

Or Newfoundland.

“Top” and “Bottom”.

It’s a weird way to phrase it. I actually have dual citizenship. I say “I’m X and Y” not “I’m X or Y”.

By the way, you’re technically correct when saying "American or European " because you come from the Americas (the continent). But if you’re referring to the United States of America nationality, then you’d have to say the other country’s nationality as well.

But back to the main point, let’s say that you’re about to become French. You’d say "I’m American and French. Or “French-Americam” or “American-French”. “I’m French or American” sounds weird.

I’m European or Canadian.

Wut…

Thanks! Yeah, lack of ethernet ports is annoying. I bought a USB adapter to have one.

Nice! Thanks for your answer.

Whoa, what laptop did you end up getting? 64GB? Nice!

Thanks for the links.

Well, that’s disappointing.

Is programing.dev a lemmy instance, or a piefed one?

How are they assholes? What did I miss?

Thanks! It’s interesting to hear folks say that other machines are as powerful and less expensive. The irony is, they’re less expensive because they have everything soldered on and designed to be eventual e-waste more quickly.

Still too high.

Ransomware that can’t be decrypted is just destructive malware like any other.

How do you really like it?

I’m considering getting one.

I’m far from being an AI defender. And for the longest time I resisted the idea of vibe coding.

I will give you that, without the right experience, vibe coding feels like gambling.

But I learned rather quickly that you must first work on a dev plan with an LLM, and until that plan hasn’t covered every scenario, then you don’t move on.

That yields much better results, and it has the advantage of having the blueprints for when you need the LLM to make changes.
