• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Word.⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  export is typically better as it preserve selectable text, if you print as pdf it will be as flat as a real paper

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Word.⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  PDF is not meant to be edited, it’s meant to be a digital representation of physical paper.

  The other problems are just people who don’t actually learn to use Microsoft Word, you certainly can add more words to spellcheck and you can change how images and text interact, the only thing I can think of that caused issues is at one point they changed the default, too many people never learned how to change the layout and keep expecting the old behavior after the change.

  Because in australia down is up, so their gravity pull all the water back up north

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Vocaloid typically is developed with the consent of the person who provided the reference voice, just like old school TTS systems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Libraries are cool⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  more libraries do that than libraries that don’t from what I’ve seen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I dunno⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ya this one is super unambiguously PEMDAS, the one that has more of an argument is the one with the division of whether a/bc is a / (b * c) or (a / b) * c

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Step 2 has been automated by LLMs (actually one of the jobs they are very good at doing), it’s easier than ever to be a tech shithead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She is making a GREAT point⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You still need it.

  When you see a driver running a red light, you still brake even if your light is green.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NOW!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  that seems like a decent price for a digital photo frame/weather dashboard

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'This is definitely my last TwitchCon': High-profile streamer Emiru was assaulted at the event, even as streamers have been sounding the alarm about stalkers and harassment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Also twitch has been paying out less and less to creators that a lot of streamers’ revenue stream is outside of that platform, be it individual donation sites that twitch gets no cut of, or merch sales from a storefront of the streamers’ own choosing. So it definitely has been way more decentralized than it was.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honestly Bizarre⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Having both definition of the same word that can be confused with each other is also silly, the culinary definition should find a new word.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FCC could roll back rule requiring ISPs to list every fee, apparently, there are too many⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The point is so people can see what fees they will get before making a decision to sign up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Brother just got an upgrade. Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So just people can’t perceive longer term costs. Damn the government can decrease this backlash so much by just billing from their liability insurance directly instead of sending the fine to the person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  for me it typically don’t cause syntax errors, but the main thing it fucks up is what you specifically told them to do, where the output straight up does not perform the way your specification requires. If it’s just some syntax errors at least the compiler can catch them, this you won’t even know if you don’t bother testing the output.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If sexuality is a spectrum, does that mean one person is the gayest?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But that doesn’t change the fact that every moment there’ll exist someone who is the gayest, it’s just the same person may not hold that status for a very long time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of the good ones have left since they locked off the API and make most of the tools stopped working anyways

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  that’s the point, when people got a dead end when looking for answers on reddit for the nth time, they will stop clicking those results

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clock logic⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  there’s 86400 seconds in a day. If we use a new unit that is slightly shorter than a second as a metric second, we can do 100000 metric seconds a day, with 100 metric seconds per metric minutes, and 100 metric minutes per metric hour, and each day having 10 metric hours.

  We are only used to the current system because we have been using it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex got hacked.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  e-mail hasing is viable if you are only using your email for sign in and account recovery. Unfortunately it’s not happening because every service would also want to send you periodical emails about other stuffs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All I Want for Christmas Is You⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  damn global warming has made this process start earlier every year

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No brainer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Then teleport again

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans’ junk-filled garages are hurting EV adoption, study says⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why lower your EV price when you can just block foreign competition?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It Took Many Years And Billions Of Dollars, But Microsoft Finally Invented A Calculator That Is Wrong Sometimes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  even then the number was actually stored correctly, it’s just excel lies to you and shows you a different number.

  This AI will stack wrong calculations on top of wrong calculations and cascade everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It Took Many Years And Billions Of Dollars, But Microsoft Finally Invented A Calculator That Is Wrong Sometimes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on what studying AI you mean. The whole ML field is still very much have its uses, the ones that would have a rude awakening are the ones “studying” how to do “prompt engineering”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It Took Many Years And Billions Of Dollars, But Microsoft Finally Invented A Calculator That Is Wrong Sometimes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  excel math is fine if you use the syntax correctly. Its problems are mostly assume many number inputs as dates and other performance issues. Doing math wrong is not one of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teddybears - Punkrocker⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And iirc hates it when cops use his image, as he only need to exist because cops are not upholding justice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that’s how money transaction works. The only way for you to have any recourse in this situation is something that can enforce laws. Or avoiding the situation all together through a reputable escrow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alexa, how do I remove cooties?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  unfortunately you can, just not as effective as living people do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨heaven⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just the tattoos though, not whoever wearing them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Age-Checked Internet Has Arrived⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t have a legal entity that can go to UK court, you don’t even need to block them, let them block you, you did nothing wrong you don’t have to accommodate them.
