Ah right, democracy didn’t immediately solve problems so we should murder all political opposition and install a one party dictatorship where I’m conveniently in charge of everything.
Sounds like sometime that totally benefits “the people”.
- Comment on 34% of the US population doesn't vote. Why do polticalitcians cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached? 3 days ago:
Literally saw some loser bragging about “his right to not vote” the other day. Every single one of these people is a fucking tool.
- Comment on AI isn’t ready to replace human coders for debugging, researchers say 1 week ago:
The junior devs are my job are way better at debugging than AI, lol. Granted they are top talent hires because no one else can break in these days.

Good I hated working in actionscript so much.
- Comment on The US Secretary of Education referred to AI as ‘A1,’ like the steak sauce 2 weeks ago:
This is just bs. Immigrants from all over refer to themselves as hyphenated Americans. It is absolutely not just white people.

Wow, I’m so shocked that an administration of thieves and grifters are helping other thieves and grifters.

This is why I never check my DMs. 99% of the time they’re just used to harass and threaten people.
- Comment on ‘An Overwhelmingly Negative And Demoralizing Force’: What It’s Like Working For A Company That’s Forcing AI On Its Developers. 2 weeks ago:
I asked the same question in our meeting about it. They apparently have metrics tracking as part of their contract for copilot. But they also want to see demos etc. Basically forcing us to do busy work and increase stress so the execs can justify blowing money and political capital on AI.

Yeah mine is demanding that we prove that we’re using copilot to generate code.
I wouldn’t care so much if copilot wasn’t a hot pile of garbage. It’s incredibly slow, constantly fails halfway through generating a file, can only handle updating or creating one file at a time, and the code it comes up with always needs manual correction to actually work.
I mainly use it to generate unit tests and it frequently makes shit up that clearly won’t work. Like directly invoking non-exported functions that I deliberately choose not to export, because they don’t need to be exported.
90% of the time it actually takes me longer to use copilot. The only thing it’s good is autocomplete.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 weeks ago:
When I tried it, testing was on the same version of Nvidia drivers as stable so it didn’t solve my problem. It was possible to manually backport them, but it wasn’t straightforward to do.

It’s definitely a good thing if you’re interested and knowledgeable enough to build what you want. I was just arguing it’s not the best choice for a casual user because a lot things they’ll want won’t work out of the box.
Even updating to the next stable Debian version requires editing system files and running the command line.
Drivers can matter quite a bit if for example you’re on an Nvidia card and the Debian drivers are 2 years old. It happened to me and caused dlss to not work in some games.
I run a Debian server and it’s amazing for that.

Man I used to think Lovecraftian lore was so cool until I found out that it’s all an allegory for virulent white supremacy.

Didn’t know it was AI, but I did enjoy it
- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 3 weeks ago:
You don’t need to manage the exe files. Just ideal heroic launcher. You can access and install your whole GOG library from there, and you can configure each game with different versions of wine, if you need to.
You can even sync the game saves as well, although last time I tried the save sync was a bit clunky.

Debian is not a good choice for beginners. It’s extremely bare bones compared to Ubuntu or Mint.
Drivers on Debian stable are also heavily outdated

Oh cool, more mass surveillance tech.
- Comment on A Trump H-1B crackdown could hit Big Tech hard, with Amazon suffering most. 4 weeks ago:
They’re already doing that. Unless they do something about outsourcing this is a meaningless policy.
- Comment on Struggling 4 weeks ago:
There’s absolutely no way most mods on reddit are women. Leave it to the terminally online crowd to blame women for everything.
Not even remotely surprised this misogynistic bullshit came from X. Now they want to infect Lemmy too…gtfo

These guys don’t care. They’re a bunch of gangsters trying to profit by dismantling the government and selling corporate replacements for its services.
We’re either headed towards long term fascism or a massive civil backlash.

- Comment on I'm Tired of Pretending Tech is Making the World Better 1 month ago:
The problem isn’t the tech, it’s the people who are controlling the tech.
The tech is literally made by those by people. The tech itself is in fact the problem. You will never have a version of something like social media that’s actually healthy. One way or the other someone with power will get their hands on it and abuse it.
- Comment on I'm Tired of Pretending Tech is Making the World Better 1 month ago:
Good God you people are deep in the sauce. Just straight up ignoring the fact that tech enabled propaganda to be spammed in people’s faces 24/7. It’s so obviously a net drag on society at this point.
