You better pay attention! It’s important knowledge that you’ll use in Art History 060: Why Salvador Dali liked ass so much. The clay sculpt project at the end of that one is absolutely brutal…

That makes contradicting my own point by folding to an art request absolutely worth it haha

Boring, Shakespeare fucking different people is like the first thing they teach in art school 🥱

Oh, I’ve done it plenty of times for shits’n’giggles, but it gets old really fast. People underestimate how many dumb requests an artist gets, they always think they are the first to say “Draw BUTT wearing HAT!!”

I may be kinda happy that many of these kinds of people go to AI image generators nowadays instead of bothering artists.

Honestly I’d much rather hear Isaac Asimov’s opinion on the current state of AI. Passing the Turing Test is whatever, but how far away are LLMs from conforming to the 3 laws of Robotics?

- Comment on Meanwhile, on Facebook 1 week ago:
idk, I had a somewhat similar thing just a few weeks ago. Got really bad throat, ear and jaw pain on a monday, went to my GP on tuesday who said that it’s just a really bad viral cold and gave me a sick note from work for a week. But just doing the kind of recovery that works for a cold didn’t work, and the jaw pain kept getting worse, so I went to a dentist on friday and he immediately saw that it actually was a bacterial infection around one of my lower wisdom teeth. Gave me oral antibiotics plus topical antibiotics to inject under the skin flap around the tooth and I was feeling fine again within a day.

- Comment on Sunday update from the Prime Radiant 1 week ago:
Different instances have different federations, so it makes sense to have a few accounts scattered around different instances. Sometimes instances also go down or are slow, so it’s good to have a backup somewhere else (my main account used to be on programming.dev, but it had server issues all the time so I no longer bother going there).
Oh, and as others have mentioned, porn. I personally also have an alt I use when I get a bit too verbose right after taking my adderall haha
- Comment on A hypothesis 1 week ago:
That might be the case too! I do believe it was more of a skill issue in my case because I was booting Linux Mint from a 40GB partition (couldn’t free any more space than that on the old SSD) and enabled too many system backups (they recommended 2 daily and 2 on boot, and I just followed the recommendation without thinking about the space implications). Those alone put me at around 35-38GB of used space, and an npm install is usually around 1 GB, but log and temp files can sometimes balloon up when things go wrong. So it wasn’t really a crash per say, just Mint’s “shut down the system when you run out of storage space” protection triggering haha

Could be explained by the fact that my favorite position to program is on my bed, like a teenage girl from a mediocre 2000’s movie writing in her diary. The laptop fans get a taste of all that good good bed sheet fiber.

Ooh, totally! I did have an SSD in there before, but it was only 256GB, so I had to store most files on the HDD and be extremely selective about what to install to C:. Going up to 8TB felt very liberating, I no longer have to fear that an npm install might crash my whole machine! (at least not due to space constraints, npm will figure out how to crash it for other reasons)
- Comment on A hypothesis 1 week ago:
I’m not even that tech illiterate, but I almost did that… My laptop was being slow, and I still had like 4k€ in overtime hours that I could buy Hardware from at work (it’s a great deal because I neither have to pay VAT on the hardware nor income taxes on the money from the overtime), so I was like, eh, might as well get a new laptop.
So then I read up on what laptop brands are out there, found out about Framework, and when I excitedly told my electrical engineer husband about it he was like “You knooow that you can easily replace parts in any laptop, right?”
Well, I didn’t know that (just kinda assumed laptops were more like phones than they are like desktop PCs), so I ended up just ordering a new SSD and new RAM for my laptop. It’s back to being butter smooth, but I have a hunch that cleaning the dust from the fans while I was in there was a very large factor in that haha

I finally switched to Linux just a few days ago when upgrading my laptop’s SSD, and so far I have only opened minecraft to see how it runs - extremely smoothly, even though I could not figure out how to make use the Nvidia GPU. I’d say it runs noticeably better on Linux than it did on Windows.

I mean it seems about equally as invasive as an IUD. I bet people could get used to the concept.
- Comment on If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7 1 week ago:
I’ve been wondering about a similar thing recently - if AI is this big, life-changing thing, why were there so little rumblings among tech-savy people before it became “mainstream”? Sure, Machine Learning was somewhat talked about, but very little of it seemed to relate to LLM-style Machine learning. With basically all other innovations technology, the nerds tended to have it years before everyone else, so why was it so different with AI?
- Comment on What's your answer? And in the picture which news story is being reported? 2 weeks ago:
Obama becoming President, I think! I had a very old Elementary School teacher, and while she certainly used some not-okay words to explain the event to us, I think she was quite supportive of it. I must have been 9 years old? So either my memory is bad or there just weren’t all that many interesting world events that I would have heard about when I was younger than that.

Also: what’s inside the calendar? Nfts?
Realistically, it’s the same crappy chocolate that is in every calendar of this format. Pretty sure they’re all from the same factory and just have different pictures on them

Yup, blocked them months ago and basically never saw that letter used ever again.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 2 weeks ago:
At the same time?!? Were the bars across the street from each other and you had two different friend groups in both, so you had to make up excuses, change your outfit, and run over to the other bar all night?! That sounds like an exciting time!
- Comment on ANTI PEE PAINT 2 weeks ago:
It’s not that Hamburg doesn’t have public toilets, but Hamburg is known for the “Reeperbahn” - a street lined with bars (I think the American equivalent to it would be something like Bourbon Street in New Orleans?). People go there to get wasted off their asses and no matter how many public restrooms you put up there, they will piss wherever.
(There’s also an amazing documentary series about the Supermarket on that street and the characters that visit it)

ooh, hamburger as in, ground meat? For me a hamburger is always the round puck of meat between buns, makes more sense if it’s just the generic name for the meat itself!
- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 2 weeks ago:
Sorry, I’m European, could someone explain what Hamburger Helper actually is?? I’ve heard the brand name before and assumed it was just some kind of seasoning powder for making hamburgers, but this image looks more like it’s more like powdered sauce base for a whole range of random meals?
