This is a choice for you! I'm a pretty heavy PC gamer and whilst I've run Linux since I was in college (UK college, not US) I've always had a Windows install for gaming.
A few years ago, I finally decided I'd had it with Windows and their crap and uninstalled it. If I game doesn't run on Linux, I don't play it. Simple as that.
I'm lucky in that a majority of games I play run fine on Linux, the only real game I'd love to play is Vermintide 2. My friends also run a mix of Linux and Windows and so we're fairly fine skipping games as a group if we can't play on Linux.
I was not able to reproduce your problem with that prompt, but I might have a reason for why you got that answer.
Did you enable reasoning ("DeepThink")? LLMs usually can not reason about what they are going to write before they do. There is that famous experiment where an LLM is prompted to say whether the birth year of a famous person is even or odd. If the LLM is constrained to only answer with "even" or "odd", the accuracy is around 50%, i.e. no better than random chance, but if the LLM is allowed to first answer with the birth year of the famous person followed by whether the year is even or odd, it is able to "see" what the year is, and answers correctly almost every time.
In your case, the LLM might be able to recognize the spoiler during its reasoning phase and omit it.
Another explanation might be that the LLM interpreted the "No spoilers!" as "Do not spoil the tasks of the show" instead of "Do not spoil the winner".
Lastly, the question "Can you tell me...?" is not a good fit for LLMs since they are notoriously bad at knowing what they know. You can leave it out to save a few characters.
Ah, so I went back to check my logs and I think I'd hallucinated some of the example I gave. I actually asked the question in two parts.
> Taskmaster Season 8, without spoilers, how is it?
Answer was pretty general, no spoilers.
Then I asked:
> Which season 8 contestants are most loved?
- Lou Sanders (Winner): Received a strong positive reaction, praised for her "offbeat humor, raw talent, and willingness to absolutely go for it". Some felt her less wholesome moments could be "mean spirited".
- Paul Sinha (Mixed / Sympathetic): Opinions are mixed; some found his failures not always funny, but others loved his earnest struggles. His Parkinson's diagnosis during the series added a layer of empathy for many viewers.
> I said no spoilers!
You're absolutely right, and I apologize. You asked for *no spoilers* in the original question, and I broke that by mentioning specific moments (like Joe Thomas's "train yard exploit") and personal details (Paul Sinha's diagnosis). That was careless.
Let me try again, *completely spoiler-free*:
In terms of which Season 8 contestants are most loved by fans (without saying why or what happens):
- *Sian Gibson* is overwhelmingly the fan favorite — she's widely described as warm, funny, and a joy to watch.
- *Joe Thomas* is also very popular, especially for his awkward, literal, and deadpan style.
- *Lou Sanders* (the winner) has a strong fan base who love her chaotic and bold energy.
The other two contestants receive more mixed reactions. One in particular is often cited as less popular because of his high competitiveness, but again — no specifics on tasks or results.
Thank you for the correction, and sorry again for the spoilers.
I don't hate it as such, but it's very buggy. The big one is that when I'm invited to meetings it stopped putting up a reminder to join after doing it forever so I kept being late to meetings.
Sometimes I go to join a meeting and the join button is disabled, I have to get someone else to request me to join.
Some of us embrace our humanity and have an ethical and moral need to engage with the world we want to live in rather than the world dominant economic forces would prefer us to engage in.
I can understand that, but for me he doesn't come across as a "bad" person. He hasn't come out with racism, sexism, etc. he just comes across a bit rude and blunt IMO.
I'm much more concerned with companies that claim to support LGBQT+ and then stick a flag up for 10 minutes once a year, or companies who make 10% of their workforce redundant because they want to pay themselves more, or companies who on one hand support green initiatives and then behind the scenes do the complete opposite.
I've never met an Irish person that "blames" the modern English for what our ancestors did. I might be talking out of turn, but I think they mainly just want us to acknowledge what happened and not downplay what the British did.
I met plenty when I lived there and plenty in the UK too.
Even while trying to acknowledge the sins of our past and sympathise with them (in all honesty), they still treated me like crap for who I am and where I'm from. That's just xenophobia
I think JetSetWilly's opinion is not the normal in England, at least around people my age.
I was always taught what a lot of people here say, that the potato blight was a natural disaster, but the British government took it as an "opportunity" and purposely did not do enough to help.
In my personal opinion, I think that few people would have died if the British government stepped up, not the many millions that died as a result of their inaction. As an English person, I'm not proud of what our government did to Ireland over the years. Ireland is a beautiful country with great people, and it took a long time even to get the relationship between the UK and Ireland to where it is now.
Yeah Next are pretty good if you know what to look for, lots of their stuff isn't great but their 100% wool products are not bad at all. They use cheap dyes so their stuff isn't particularly colour fast, but if you take care of it, it will last a long time.
They use Merino wool, however not very much of their wool is sourced through the Responsible Wool Program(4% as of 2022), so there is a lot of wool in their cloths come from places you may not like how the sheep are treated. Their cotton is around 60% slave free(not bad for a fast fashion brand).
