  God I hope we’re in the matrix. I refuse to accept this is the reality now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT'S A TRAP⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah yes, I remember my eyes glazing over as things got too complicated to fit through my thick skull

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit stock falls for second day as references to its content in ChatGPT responses plummet⁩ ⁨⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had to start calling it AI because most people don’t know what LLMs are, noone cares to go through the explanation, including myself.
  I’m afraid that, as these things go, AI has gained a new meaning by popular use, rather than the original meaning of the acronym.
  No point fighting it anymore.

  Maybe we just need to adjust and start saying GAI (generative ai). It has a nice ring to it too.

  It will not hinder it either. People will give up many things before their smartphones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if we were *just a lil evil*?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  100%. This needs to be a law or it can’t be expected to happen.

  Work profiles exist for this reason. A completely separate environment that is isolated from the rest of the phone and can be turned on and off on demand.
  Some manufacturers, like Samsung, make it difficult to access, but it’s there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨1919 (correctly)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My (potential) marriage is safe!
  No, wait…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft announces it will automatically install the Copilot AI app alongside desktop versions of 365 products like Word, Excel and PowerPoint this October⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s absolutely everywhere. Have you checked fricking Notepad recently? (I do like the other improvements to it though, tangent)
  I don’t care on my work PC, not my data, but it’s concerning how little control or oversight we’re given as users (approx. none).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Randy Pitchford Snaps Back at Borderlands 4 Criticism: 'Code Your Own Engine'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Have to partly disagree. The loading screens, whilst usually brief, were very annoying.
  Elite Dangerous, No Man’s Sky or Space Engineers accomplish similar tasks without needing those, or having to limit the accessible planet area.
  I understand that those were limitations of the engine, but it could just be speculation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Randy Pitchford Snaps Back at Borderlands 4 Criticism: 'Code Your Own Engine'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You gave them a hammer and their nail has not gone in straight?
  Clearly your fault. And the hammer’s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨emergency remote access⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have my ‘incident recovery’ docs on my server.
  It went down once, and when that connected, my single thought was ‘fuck’ haha.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Important Notice of Security Incident⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People don’t seem to understand that no-one can reasonably stop a breach today.
  The question is whether the attackers got anything of value and how easy they got in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Signal announces a backup feature that includes 100MB of storage for texts and the last 45 days' worth of media for free, or 100GB of storage for $1.99/month⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you say how? If you could just name drop whatever services you’re using, that would be appreciated

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨choice⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Somewhat unfunny answer: a 3cm diameter ball of thorium, that easily fits into one’s palm by size, should be enough to provide all power an individual uses in a lifetime.
  This can change a lot based on usage and actual power generation efficiency.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A conundrum⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering how much data they can get on anyone, this process seems pointless and outdated, except to give them somewhat arbitrary power over who can get a loan.
  Not that I like such private data to be available at any institutions fingertips, but so it is these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there no good inexpensive CAD software?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fusion is easiest to get going for ‘serious’ projects as a beginner.
  I will use it while I can, or until an equal alternative is available. Nothing lasts forever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mkdocs for recipe catalogue⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love mealie. I can steal online recipes, catalogue them, adjust them to my liking, plan all the shopping. Definitely a core self hosted service in my house.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s… not how that works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No justice, no peace.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From radius (of the weapon) back to source. Just a backwards way of saying it the way I read it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🦈🦈🦈⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t mind the Microsoft style, but I wouldn’t be sure it’s a shark without context

  Ryot github.com/IgnisDa/ryot
  It’s an attempt for an everything tracker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It Took Many Years And Billions Of Dollars, But Microsoft Finally Invented A Calculator That Is Wrong Sometimes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, there is a use case.
  I don’t know much about statistics. I can (i assume) as the ai questions in natural language that I would otherwise have to research how to calculate.
  Of course, I may get a result, but I won’t be any smarter. If that was the goal, then great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK Official Calls for Age Verification on VPNs to Prevent Porn Loophole⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They would definiyely want to employ that, if this bullshit actually had anything to do with protecting children.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DissolvPCB enables fully recyclable 3D-printed circuit boards with liquid metal conductors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That is crazy good… if all I need is to get a pcb heater and learn how to surface mount to print someone’s custom board, it really opens up the possibilities of open source electronics.

  Hmm not quite what that should look like

  The number list is how markdown works. You can enter all 1’s and it will automatically create ordered list.
  Handy when you may need to edit list items, as you dont need to renumber even in plain text.
  Markdown spec should allow for explicit number by using a bracket ‘)’ instead of a dot, but it may not work everywhere.
  Let’s give it a go

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As much as I’d like to do that, I have listened to over 7000 artists on Spotify.
  I simply don’t have the time (or money) to look those up individually.
  So I can either choose to have worse experience, or stick with Spotify for now.
