  The thing is without this, if you somehow exit steam, you are toast and need to plug a keyboard or access via ssh. Having a DE with controller support like this would indeed rock, as I stop depending on steam for launching things.

  “Quien te dió vela en este entierro?”, en Argentina. Se puede asumir que es algo de hispanoamerica al menos. Also, maybe it’s better to translate it like “you don’t have a candle in this funeral” maybe? I don’t know if english hold a vigil for the dead like we do. Burial while is a more direct translation, I don’t think it really represents the spirit of the adage.

  thanks sane person

  Great summary. I would add not using LLMs to learn something new. As OP mentioned, when you know your stuff, you are aware of how much it bullshits. What happens when you don’t know? You eat all the bullshit because it sounds good. Or you will end up with a vibed codebase you can’t fully understand because you didn’t reason to produce it. It’s like driving a car and having a shitty copilot that sometimes hallucinates roads, and if you don’t know where you are supposed to be, wherever that copilot takes you would look good. You lack the context to judge the results or advice.

  I basically use it now days as a semantic search engine of documentation. Talking with documentation is the coolest. If the response doesn’t come with a doc link, it’s probably not worth it. Make it point to the human input, make it help you find things you don’t know the name of, but never trust the output without judging. In my experience, making it generate code that you end up correcting it’s more cognitive heavy load than to write it yourself from scratch.

  South America here. It’s one of the few things where we use freedom units. And beer pints as some other pointed out.

  That looks great, where this is from?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge dismisses authors' copyright lawsuit against Meta over AI training⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What name do you have for the activity of making money using someone else work or data, without their consent or giving compensation? If the tech was just tech, it wouldn’t need any non consenting human input for it to work properly. This are just companies feeding on various types of data, if justice doesn’t protects an author, what do you think it would happen if these same models started feeding of user data instead? Tech is good, ethics are not

  This is an interesting setup

  I ran a server on a raspberry pi 3, paper was the only real option on that kind of hardware.

  I love this community being unmoderated

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every Country That Has Their Own Lemmy Instance⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  seriously speaking, how much work is to host an instance actually? Besides buying the domain and getting it up and running on some cloud/homelab? The are any security concerns or maintenance that would take a lot of my time? Do I need to put some effort in instance level moderation, or that comes from communities? How many resources/hardware an instance uses per user?

  AI is boring, but the underlying project they are using, ggwave, is not. Reminded me of R2D2 talking. I kinda want to use it for a game or some other stupid project. It’s cool.

  Actually if you give people bread and circus, they are easy to control too. And we have plenty of circus, so…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some self hosted services that you think are essential?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
  • Pihole (if that service goes down, everyone in my house gets mad at me)
  • Jellyfin

  Everything else is a nice to have, not essential

  The arr family with a torrent client is great for feeding Jellyfin. If you are a developer, you can host your own shit there too. Game servers for playing with family and friends (so far Minecraft, Terraria, Project Zomboid, V Rising). I like to host a bunch of different telegram bots I wrote for fun. Discord bots are another interesting side. I also run some automation runners for helping out with testing, building and deploying my projects.

  Focus on your needs and what you want to improve of your online life, there is probably a project you can self host for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Opera explains how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support as Google Chrome disables it⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to work for an ad heavy mobile game and ad serving company couple of years ago, and I had ad blocking at dns level in my house. It blocks not only ads, but also most tracking and telemetry. My bosses wanted to know why my devices were not displaying ads or dialing back to home, they were pretty fucking puzzled. They were terrified others like me were around. Basically their entire business model depends of people not knowing how to block ads and telemetry
