  I’ve got another one - look at my content and suggest hashtags that are relevant and popular.

  Can you give us your config file?

  I find it useful for doing tedious stuff that I can easily review - writing argparsers for functions I’ve written, for example.

  I’ve yet to see AI for any of the things I’d actually like it for. It’d be good if I could use it as a natural language compatible filter for my feeds, for example. I’m interested in gaming news but have zero interest in a number of popular genres, settings, and so forth. Having an AI look at the feed and be able to spot the rough shape of stuff I don’t care about and throw it away would be useful to me and mistakes wouldn’t matter.

  Similarly I could do with something on the desktop that helps me keep my files tidy. Learn the way I’d like to do things and help me keep things sorted. If unsure, learn when I’m likely to be willing to answer questions and ask for clarification then. Worst case scenario it misfiles something and there’s an interface to ask it “the file about the thing - where is that? It’s not where I would expect”.

  Instead I’ve got shit like “let us summarise email for you”. If the email is long enough that I’d need a summary then it’s too important to be entrusted to the Hallucinatron 5000. If it’s short enough that it would be safe then there’s zero time saved for me. A few sentences? What an insurmountable challenge - help me, Twatbot 2.0.

  I was making a parallel to another wildly over-hyped technology that has had multiple opportunities to make it when it’s clearly only suitable for niche usecases.

  LLMs and “AI” are not useless but the notion that they’ll lead to something significantly more advanced is fundamentally misunderstanding the nature of the technology.

  The sheer amount of advertising for gambling is grim. Whilst I’m not susceptible to it, I can’t imagine it’s doing the UK any good (I find gambling extremely boring - they can advertise all they want at me).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, same. I use a combination of Linux and macOS at home but have a work laptop running Windows. It’s dreadful and feels like it only exists to make my tasks harder. I never find myself saying “what a useful feature!” but I often say “Ugh, why are you like this?”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox ditching hardware and exclusive games "makes sense," former Microsoft exec and Blizzard boss says, as "only a moron would continue" making consoles as games go third party⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is fair enough and totally reasonable - it was purely in the context of that comment it seemed odd. You had a device that actually uses the architecture that Macs use and one that used an architecture that they don’t but… yeah. It’s not important, it just made me chuckle.

  …and groan about the march of time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox ditching hardware and exclusive games "makes sense," former Microsoft exec and Blizzard boss says, as "only a moron would continue" making consoles as games go third party⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But the Switch and beyond use ARM, the architecture Macs have used for the last five years?
  It just seemed an odd thing to mention given how long it’s been since Macs used PPC. I know they used to, but I’m old enough to have used 68000k Macs too so of course I remember that time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox ditching hardware and exclusive games "makes sense," former Microsoft exec and Blizzard boss says, as "only a moron would continue" making consoles as games go third party⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m confused by your first sentence - the last machines they made that used PPC were in 2005. To me it reads like you’re correcting me but saying exactly the same thing..?

  The fact that Macs stopped using the architecture twenty years ago makes it bit of an odd connection, I would argue. As you say, the 360 used the architecture far more recently and over 84 million of those were sold. It’s not like it was some obscure device.

  Mac haven’t used PowerPC since 2005.

  Frustrating and tedious. I generally don’t take gaming recommendations from people I know because I’ve been burned too many times.

  Sure, but if the options are to watch something in low resolution or not at all, I’m picking up the novelisation instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great games you would recommend from before 1990?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Controversial take, perhaps, but I don’t think there are any games from the 1980s (or earlier) that I think hold up. Wasteland form 1988 is impressive but ugly (and a remaster exists that is better) and other than that, uh…

  TLoZ is so utterly hideous that it repulses me. The NES colour palette is just so tremendously ugly.

  Tetris is fine, I guess, but I’ve always found it a bit plain. Much like picking up individual grains of rice with chopsticks it requires skill but as with that it’s only your own time you’re wasting - unless you enjoy it, which I don’t. Or to put it another way - I don’t find the core gameplay loop rewarding.

  There’s plenty of cool stuff from the early ‘90s but the 1980s are pretty much a case of “it was good when we had nothing better” territory, in my opinion.
