Yeah, but those Hotmail accounts were lightweight and simple. They weren't connected to a Microsoft metaverse of spyware like they are now. I had 3 of these Hotmail accounts but at some point I got locked out of all of them for not providing Microsoft with my phone number. That's how I personally stopped using MSN.

Linux mint doesn't require the terminal for almost anything. If it is required anywhere, there will be step-by-step instructions, but even then there is likely a better solution specifically for linux mint that doesn't require the terminal.

Use the software manager and update manager and you're set. Don't install applications from the terminal, it will be easier to let the manager applications keep track of it all.

For super advanced stuff, sure, you might want the terminal, but you don't need these things. If anything, it will be a good opportunity to learn.

Get a USB, put linux mint on it and boot from it just to try out. It can run without being installed on your computer.

"Call me" is definitely what it used to mean in the 90s

Sounds like shit, but it is also hard to sympathize with kotaku and IGN journalists.

The reason MSN stopped being used was because Microsoft started requiring Microsoft accounts for it to work, and started pushing people towards Skype. Which is why "Microsoft happened". I never really meant to imply that Microsoft bought it or anything, just that they are the reason it eventually died.

Game developers making remakes for the "modern audience"

How small can you make an LLM before it starts having issues with grammar and coherency? I would argue that the bare minimum still would be rather large, and in videogames we're already using vram for other resources. In a 3D game especially I imagine very little vram is left to utilize.

LLM-powered NPCs will quickly fall out of fashion as people realize they're literally just talking to chatGPT.

The either forced always-online requirement with privacy violating telemetry for server-side LLMs, or immensely high GPU memory requirements for local LLMs will also cripple their games.
