I prefer Cura and it has native binaries and Flatpak.
- Comment on The ‘doorman fallacy’: why careless adoption of AI backfires so easily 4 days ago:
Which is ironic because AI unpredictably makes errors.
- Comment on Today in “Google Broke Email” 5 days ago:
TIL you can add IMAP and POP3 to Gmail to import your email.
Why would anyone with another email service WANT that? Do you like giving Google even more data than they already have on you?
- Comment on Steam Link for Non-Steam games on Wayland? (Linux) 5 days ago:
Are the games launching via xwayland when they’re not working? Are they displaying normally on your desktop monitor, but just not streaming correctly?

Green? As in Green Party? The environmentalist Republicans? That Green Party?

I know I’m old because I saw 56k and immediately wondered why they were doing this over dialup.
- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 2 weeks ago:
They only need to open source the kernel. They can build whatever proprietary stuff they want on top of the Linux kernel.

What’s that? More AI? -Microsoft-

Or just Linux. Why even bother with BSD?
- Comment on Straight up snorkin' it 2 weeks ago:
The first two…I’ll graciously call them “sentences”… I got the context of…once I got to the third one, my brain was like “I haven’t partaken in enough brain rot to understand this new form of damaged English language”.

Careful. You’re going to get tetanus from sucking off clankers.
- Comment on Oracle made a $300 billion bet on OpenAI. It's paying the price. 3 weeks ago:
There was a study done several months ago. I’ll try to find the source again and link it here in a comment edit.

Generative AI has an average error rate of 9-13%. Nobody should trust it wholesale and what it spits out.
It has some excellent use cases. Vibe code/sysadmin/netadmin’ing are not one of those things.

As someone who works in network engineering support and has seen Claude completely fuck up people’s networks with bad advice: LOL.
Literally had an idiot just copying and pasting commands from Claude into their equipment and brought down a network of over 1000 people the other day.
It hallucinated entire executables that didn’t exist. It asked them to create init scripts for services that already had one. It told them to bypass the software UI, that had the functionality they needed, and start adding routes directly to the system kernel.
Every LLM is the same bullshit guessing machine.

Lol I know. Technically it was a broken Bat’Leth to the stomach, but this joke was too funny not to make anyway in my head.

- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 4 weeks ago:
I set mine up with HAProxy for TLS offloading and ACME for the server cert. Restrict your access to just your country/region by GeoIP and you are pretty good to go.
- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 4 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s the annoying thing. Generative AI is actually really useful…in SPECIFIC situations. Discovering new battery tech, new medicines, etc. are all good use cases because it’s basically a parrot and blender combined and most of these things are rehashes if existing technologies in new and novel ways.
It is not a fucking good solution for a search engine replacement to ask “Why do farts smell?”. It uses way too much energy for that and it hallucinates bullshit.

Microsoft: “What was that? You want CoPilot integrated so it can search through your files for data mining…I mean helping you find stuff?”
- Comment on Plebbit is the the most decentralized selfhosted social media protocol And why development slowed Down 4 weeks ago:
Until Plebbit fixes how god awful slow it is, I won’t be interested in it. Lemmy is decentralized enough for me.
- Comment on AI finds errors in 90% of Wikipedia's best articles 4 weeks ago:
Congrats. You just burned down 4 trees in the rainforest for every article you had an LLM analyze.
LLMs can be incredibly useful, but everybody forgets how much of an environmental nightmare this shit is.
- Comment on Preloading File Explorer in Windows 11 Doubles RAM Usage, Offers Minimal Speed Boost 4 weeks ago:
What the headline doesn’t say: It tested nearly double as slow as Windows 10’s File Explorer with this RAM usage increase.
Windows is getting worse. No better.
