A troll who lives under the floorboards and emerges to yell at anyone who gets too close to the edge.

Be sure to feed him a steady stream of goats. You don’t want a dead troll under your floor.

Why did you censor the word “French?”

That’s the thing, this isn’t AI slop.

The easiest way to be sure might be to check it yourself.

If Linux is already installed on these machines, run Hardinfo2. It will tell you specifically how many lanes each slot has. It should also report back on lots of hardware capabilities.

That’s what’s great about reality: it doesn’t matter if you’re convinced.

Spyware is not a virus because it does not self-replicate.

I mean, duh. Eggs don’t come out of the mouth.

Technically, everything about those games is stupid. Aside from the fact they are fun, I mean.
