I’d argue any “journalist” deserving of being shit on are not doing anything that could be described as “journalism”

Which I’m sure Trump will demand he give to him

(but on a less cynical note, I agree, this deserves an award, both for the photographer in the photo and the one who took it)

Easy solution here: just have AI write your prompts for you!

I run Debian Stale for my Linux servers and love it, and your joke legit made me laugh… I’d say some people need to lighten up and learn to laugh at themselves a little 😅

I just pour a little of the hot water into it while I start my coffee brewing, swirl it around and pour it out, then wipe out the mug

I’ve never had any buildup and it gets plenty clean enough, and takes effectively zero time because I’m already waiting for the coffee anyway

They asked what’s wrong

Like, Microsoft’s CEO bragging that 25% of all their code was written by AI, and that was a year plus ago now so it’s probably higher at this point… I don’t find that reassuring, it’s part of the reason I won’t let my Windows workstation upgrade to 23H2 and I’ve almost completely converted to Linux at home (I keep the laptop running my simulator games on Windows because peripherals can be a pain to get working right without the manufacturer’s software, but it’s also locked to 23H2)

And I’ve used AI to assist me with writing code.

But that’s the distinction: it assists me, it doesn’t write it for me. If I don’t understand how or why something works or why I would do it this way, I’m not using it in production. Far too many seem to be checking out, though, and telling their GPT to take the wheel, and that’s where I think one of the biggest issues comes in.

I never used it specifically because of it being run by Brenden Eich. I have no intention of knowingly throwing my towel in and helping to enrich someone who’s thrown his money around to strip people of the right to marry who they want because he finds it icky.

I’m sure there’s other bad shit from him but after that I just treat him and anything he does as pure toxin.

If that sounds harsh, well, I don’t give a fuck.

This is why I’m on Linux at home and I refuse to update my work Win11 machine past 23H2

On the flip side, errors in 3D graphics typically won’t cost a company millions, while errors in an SQL query very well might

Anyone who cannot stop working and live off their own wealth (and not rely on the working income of others) for the rest of their lives is, by definition, working class.

So, the new Silent Generation (which only got its first and only president in 2021)

A few years ago I believed that.

Now that the fascists have taken over…not so much anymore.

Same, ngl

I actually really liked 8.1, preferred it to 7 once I got used to the Start Screen. Surprisingly well designed, actually found myself preferring the menu over 7’s

10 had the best start menu in my opinion, but the quality was just an ever advancing downward spiral.

Now, I can’t even stand it, deal with it at work as much as I have to, but at home, the only Windows machine left is only still on it because simulator peripherals are a pain to get working right on Linux sometimes, so my dedicated simulator machine still uses that, but it’s used for nothing else

Just throwing this out there, you can turn off web search in the windows search bar… I believe it requires editing local group policy or registry, but it’s an easy tweak that you shouldn’t have to do again

It should not require this, but for those of us stuck on Windows, full or part time, doing that does make using it marginally more tolerable

To be fair, your credit score can be affected by someone else’s actions if the credit tracking agencies screw up and think you’re the same person… This is hopefully harder to happen now, but my mother and her brother had the same initials in a different order and their SSNs were different by only one number and somehow the credit bureaus messed up and it was a headache getting that untangled.

That said… Yeah, that’s absolutely not how it’s supposed to work and if it happens it’s because someone somewhere screwed up.

Now that it’s all computerized, the odds of that happening should be pretty slim, but things do still go through a human’s hands at some points of the process so it’s still not impossible.

For me, I loved it because my combined gifts were much nicer than the gifts for one or the other

I think my last count hit north of 500 tabs…

I… I may have a bit of a problem…

Oh yeah, most people just have no clue how much yarn is needed or how much time it takes to make even a fairly simple item
