  I imagine the aggressive “feature” upsells that get more and more invasive with every new windows release

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh gross, I didn’t come to social media for people.

  The lemmy devs should have stuck to their convictions and committed to a social media protocol for lemmings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which communities/servers? I’ve found the comments on non political threads to be mostly reasonable.

  There’s no doubt that lemmy is currently less active than reddit though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If so-called AI is basically just Large Language Models, how come predictive text on my phone is bollock-useless?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  LLMs like chatgpt take a wild amount of resources to run.

  If you want something as smart as gpt3 and you want it to run at typing speeds, you’ll need a gaming PC running it.

  People just recently managed to run gpt3 strength models at all on ordinary laptop hardware (slowly).

  There is currently no way to run something gpt4 strength on ordinary consumer hardware (I’m just guessing but I think it takes a few hundred gb of VRAM to run)

  I’m so sorry, I can’t imagine how you bear it

  Meh, lemmy is already interesting enough to kill time and past that I don’t care

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨1 imitation whipped cream tub with a side of pie, please.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t rot because it’s not real food

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨editing, remixing, combining files⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I had some luck with this yesterday.

  Attempt #1 was editing in blender, and it took 3h to get the file to slice correctly (I needed to remesh in blender sculpting tools to get the overlapping shapes to work).

  Attempt #2 was importing the STL in openscad and doing a union() of the two objects. That worked perfectly the first time and took 20min.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is testing verification labels for brands⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Reddit doesn’t seem to understand what their platform is for. If people are adding “reddit” to the end of google searches, it shows that they want brands to talk less, and real people to talk more.
