• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's planned new AI trick for Edge will 'automatically open the Copilot side pane' with Outlook email links — and I can feel the hate already⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I used Edge for business tasks. Not like work task, or normal browsing, etc. But figured if someone was going to send me an excel document, if I say “well I opened it in edge" when it breaks, it avoids some problems.

  But with the latest updates they’ve really been “Microsofting” it hardcore. Chrome dialogs with broken buttons, impossible to use combined tabs behaviour, dead end settings pages with no controls, crashes, slower and slower browsing…

  It’s becoming such a disaster I can’t even use it for that anymore. Now this? Thank god Firefox is still around. Legit hearing people talking about it again…

  Yeah it sucks, but when we rise it’s like strawberry fields.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The new Microsoft copilot key is impossible to properly remap.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah… All the tools in Linux are going to do this weird thing where they expect it to behave like a normal key. So you’d have to do all the hacks mentioned to make it work. For example, GNOME keybind stops detecting the key bind when you release. Etc. Maybe the kernel will accept a “broken copilot key hack“ that implements it but it’s not good.

  Even with hacks, it still won’t work like a modifier like most people use alt/ctrl/win because those rely on knowing the key up to see multiple keys pressed together before release. So… Broken.

  As a Linux gamer, nvidia was already on thin ice.

  Also I had past them up on recentish purchases since they only really controlled the highest end of the market which I don’t have the budget for. So honestly I have no intention of welcoming them back unless there is literally no other option. You made your bed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Consumer hardware is no longer a priority for manufacturers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kind of makes sense really when you think about it. The vast majority of consumers have had all their wealth eroded over decades to the point no one can buy anything. Better to let the AIs buy everything now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Didn't Break Copyright Law, It Just Exposed How Broken It Already Was⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  2 points to consider.

  1. Humans can’t digest the entirety of the internet
  2. Humans transform through lived experience. At worst current ai is just the statistical correlation of existing information at best you could say a model is trained by a humans experience. Neither are the same.

  I don’t think llms are without value, but treating them like they think or create new things is the problem imho.

  Yeah, I think that was not the case during their recent lawsuit with Apple. So relatively recently that changed and was limited for a “good” reason.

  No Linux support though so whatever. Useless to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to revert Firefox’s latest changes to address bar suggestions⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not normal for me but I recently opted in to Firefox’s telemetry so they could see all the trouble I’m going through to turn off their new features in their reporting.

  Will it change their mind? Probably not. But at least it’ll be there in the numbers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help! What is wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a tough one. Those small points hanging ledges pose a lot of problems for printers and petg is not a forgiving filament type.

  As others have said, petg can be a harder filament to print. Even dry it tends to be more viscous leading to oozing, stringing. I’m not convinced that’s the problem but it could be part of it as build up from stinging or over extrusion can cause collisions leading to something like this.

  The damage looks like it’s happening on one side. That hints at either a cooling problem or some movement or seam placement problem.

  Looking at pictures of your printer it looks like it has too fans so I suspect that side had direct cooling and the openness means it’s probably not getting a wall that would affect it.

  Related to movement, speed/acceleration could be an issue. You might have heard scratching while printing in this area. If so slight warping during cooling or from over extrusion could lead the nuzzle colliding. On a more solid print you could probably get away with ignoring it as it wouldn’t affect the print but with such small parts small impacts over time will lead to knocking parts off or distorting them. Try slowing down the print. Most of the print here is delecate but you can do that in modifiers if you want other parts of the print to be fast.

  Not sure how much that adds or helps but good luck.

  I cut the drivers (not the company) slack for some of this sort of stuff. I had a friends dad that delivered for UPS apparently the expectations are impossible. You don’t leave till deliveries are done but it’s not possible to do in a normal day. Marking things delivered that weren’t was apparently the only way to see his family sometimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨F*** You! Co-Creator of Go Language is Rightly Furious Over This Appreciation Email⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I assumed you would understand I meant the short part of your statement describing the LLM. Not your slight dig at me, your setting up the question, and your clarification on your perspective.

  So you be more clear, I meant “The IIm doesn’t consider a negative response to its actions due to its training and context being limited”

  In fact, what you said is not much different from the statement in question. And you could argue on top of being more brief, if you remove “top of mind” it’s actually more clear. Implying training and prompt context instead of the bot understanding and being mindful of the context it was operating in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨F*** You! Co-Creator of Go Language is Rightly Furious Over This Appreciation Email⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you did a fine job right there explaining it without personifying it. You also captured the nuance without implying the machine could apply empathy, reasoning, or be held accountable the same way a human could.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨F*** You! Co-Creator of Go Language is Rightly Furious Over This Appreciation Email⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, since you asked I’d basically do what you said. Something like “so ‘humans might hate hearing from me’ probably wasn’t part of the context it was using."

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure I’ve ever used it, but according to Wikipedia, ad videos started in 2019, live tv is 2020, and rentals in 2024. During that time it’s become more and more intrusive, now replacing your media entirely out of the box.

  That means for 10 of its 16 software purchases and software subscriptions where it’s bread and butter and has grown into different revenue streams. It’s still software, but now it’s Ad based revenue streams. Adding more and more fees. You might say it’s growing into the thing it was supposed to replace, corporate cable and streaming service.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe I experienced what they called “re-disable promotional content after an update.” Everything was reset and my media was hidden with only their streaming options available. Similarly setting up a new Chromecast it only had their streaming content and I had to hide their content and unhide mine.

  I seem to remember there being some weaselly link that would re-enable their content after it was disabled too.

  Generously, they’re providing more content and a way to support the development of the product through ads. But all the changes and the way they’re happening show me a picture of a company with changing priorities. So I tend to agree with the sentiment of the author.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I kind of understand why someone would honestly. Jellyfin subtitles are still a hot mess for a lot of formats unfortunately. Also, while plex has tried really hard to ruin their UI, I’ve still had more trouble explaining where to find things in Jellyfin. And if you’re sharing your collection with friends or family members there’s a lot more technical stuff involved.

  So I can see why the balance might still tip toward paying plex still for some people.

  Luckily I bought a lifetime license ages ago before the first price hike so this doesn’t affect me yet. So I’m just riding out the decline, running them in parallel until plex completely breaks. slowly transitioning the family as they get annoyed with broken features. Plexamp is quickly taking care of that 😅

  Also schools. My kids state issued laptops use vpns to connect to the schools networks as well as in a true irony limit what sites they can access.

  It’s actually so limiting it’s nearly impossible to print the required assignments on a printer in our home but that’s a different rant.

  Good plan. You’ll definitely find things you don’t like along the way and struggle. And having something to get things done in a crunch is useful. Just keep learning and in the end you’ll have all the tools you need and it’ll be great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: YouTube views went down since mid-August because they no longer count views of not logged in users⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m very skeptical of that argument.

  1. Millions of people didn’t throw out their desktops overnight.
  2. Lots of tech channels finding their core audience that’s actively supporting and often growing on platforms like patreon aren’t showing up in their metrics while fluff videos are getting picked up outside their community on mobile and "performing well“.

  So something definitely seems to be going on.

  To me, ads contributing to "views“ metrics seems the most logical since YT wants to incentivise ad watching but I have to agree it feels like every day someone has proven a new theory so it’s hard to say what exactly is going on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intel says Arc GPUs will live on after Nvidia deal⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because the deal is probably not about graphics. As with everything these days, it’s AI. We’ll be seeing the announcement of the nvidia powered Intel AI CPUs soon.

  In that context Intel’s GPU is a completely video provider to Intel’s AI GPU chiplets.

  How long that lasts…
