@gamingonlinux I love my Pop!_OS Steam rig. I’ve never had a smoother install process, graphics drivers weren’t a struggle, and Steam just worked. Even though Pop is based on Ubuntu, I still struggled a bit to my graphics set up on Ubuntu.

This is so cool. Is it flapping at 30fps or 60fps?

Michael Collins, the astronaut who took this photo, is the only human, alive or dead that isn't in the frame of this picture, 1969

@piermingo what is your definition of deep learning? How does one get started with deep learning?
If you desire a good blend of feature-packed and highly secure (hardware-based tokens) I've found only one choice: Charles Schwab.
Charles Schwab is the only US bank I could find that has an option for a hardware token for 2FA, and once you set it up, it removes SMS-based authentication as an option (this is good for my security values).
Switching SMS 2FA for a hardware token means you're no longer as vulnerable to SIM swap attacks.
(You have to call tech support to order a security token fob, and they'll overnight it to you for free.)

Well the point of a TL;DR is to reduce verbage rather than increase it. So iterating specific groups seems less helpful to me is all. Which is why I'd reduce that whole ball of wax (considering your points) to basically this (keep in mind we elaborate more elsewhere):
TL;DR: Unpopular opinions are welcome, explicit hate-speech is not. Be respectful. CW nudity and spoilers. Respect others users right to disengage. You must be 16 years or older and a STEM student or professional to join our server.
Short sweet, covers most of the points you just brought up. Reserving the right to suspend any account seems more applicable. in the long form to me as are the iterations and other details. After all this is meant to be a TLDR.

.@Amazon has just announced a one-year moratorium on police use of its dangerous "Rekognition" facial recognition tool.
But Amazon's @RING still partners with 1300 law enforcement agencies to put surveillance tech in the hands of unaccountable police. http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/06/amazon-ring-must-end-its-dangerous-partnerships-police

If you're a protester, consider taking actions like switching your phone to airplane mode or leaving it home altogether.

Not that they'd get there in time anyway. Never count on the police to stop a violent crime I'm progress. They're useless for THAT purpose.
