  • Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show

    Jump

  • Yeah, it reads like they wanted to make that reality show and then just slapped a random franchise on it for PR reasons.

  • She tried to get me to pet her belly!

    Jump

  • Hmm, as someone with 0 years of cat experience, I interpreted that arm movement as her just stretching, because she enjoys the pets...

  • I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too

  • At its core, SystemD coordinates and launches all the services in your operating system. So, it is essential for the boot process, but also does scheduling, meaning you could run a backup script every night with it, for example.

    That's the simple answer. But in truth, SystemD is often criticized for doing too much, so it's hard to describe what it really does. For example, you can also manage network interfaces via SystemD.

    Kind of the goal of SystemD is to provide common plumbing which works the same across distros, so that when you configure your services or network interfaces etc. on Ubuntu, it works the same as on openSUSE or Arch or whatever.

  • Ah, that lovely subsistence farming diet!

    Jump

  • When I started eating vegan, I had a bit of an existential crisis, because all my foods were either plants or salt. (I'm not really into mushrooms so far.)

    That existential crisis settled down when I realized that it's not terribly different from non-vegan diets, since milk, eggs and meat are derived from plants just as well. And presumably, mushrooms are in some roundabout way, too.

    Except then I got an existential crisis, because the entire human food chain foots on plants. We're made from 100% plant material, how are we not just salty plants?

  • How do I properly and safely clean smartphone?

    Jump

  • Yeah, window cleaner or alcohol in general has the advantage that it dissipates, making it much less likely for it to get into the electronics and shortcircuit something.

  • Kann dir jetzt nicht die genaue Zahl erklären, aber viele Emojis setzen sich aus mehreren Zeichen zusammen. Der 👩🏻-Emoji setzt sich zum Beispiel vermutlich so irgendwie zusammen: 🧑♀️🏻

    Zwischen den Einzelemojis müssen nochmal weitere Zeichen sein, damit sowas kombiniert werden kann, sogenannte "Zero-Width Joiner": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_joiner

    Also je nach Zählweise könnte das 👩🏻-Emoji eben 1 Zeichen oder 3 Zeichen oder 5 Zeichen sein.

    Und dabei lasse ich jetzt noch außen vor, dass manche Programmiersprachen die Bytes zählen, um die vermeintliche Anzahl der Zeichen zu bestimmen, was dann nochmal deutlich mehr sind.

  • so true

  • Well, part of the skin looking too even is that there's no shadows in the face. You're not gonna do that in Photoshop and I'd expect a filter to at least try to preserve your face looking like it's real, too.

    But yeah, ultimately I'm just naming noticeable aspects, while it's really just an Uncanney Valley feeling that haunts me when looking at that freakshow of a face.There's probably tons of minor details slightly off, which I cannot name individually, but which I subconsciously pick up on and because humans train their whole lives to notice small changes in a face (a.k.a. emotions), it just ends up looking creepy as hell.

  • Künstliche Intelligenz wird 2026 zum großen Risiko für Unternehmen

    Jump

  • Bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich deine Beschreibung richtig verstanden habe, aber i.d.R. ist es so, dass Mathematik zwar schon an traditionelle Rechenlogik übergeben wird, aber das Parametrieren der Logik muss immernoch von der Autovervollständigungsmaschine generiert werden.

    Also irgendwo beschreibt man eben, dass wenn Addition gemacht werden soll, dann die add.py aufrufen mit einem JSON im Format:

     json
        
{
    "first_value": 123,
    "second_value": 456
}

    Aber wenn es eben "second_value" mit dem falschen Wert autovervollständigt, dann kommt die falsche Mathematik dabei raus.

    Gut, und was eben auch passieren kann, ist dass die Anweisung, das Skript zu verwenden, dann doch gelegentlich nicht umsetzt wird. Also dass es dann doch auf eigene Faust versucht "1 + 1 =" zu autovervollständigen.Und wenn dann irgendwas im Kontext herumgeistert, so dass es die wahrscheinlichste Autovervollständigung von dem Fall bezieht, wo mal "5 + 1 + 1 = 7" stand, dann kommt eben auch das Falsche heraus.

  • What is Substack and why all the sudden do all the content creators seem to be on it?

    Jump

  • It's not yet in its enshittification phase, so right now it seems like a good deal. But before you know it, blog posts there will be blocked by all kinds of overlays and whatnot, like they are on Medium these days.

  • so true

    Jump

  • The skin looks too even and shines like plastic. The expression looks mindless.

  • Karma

    Jump

  • I also enjoy how entirely human and not at all like wax figures the trumpet and the couch connoisseur look. Someone generated that picture and thought to themselves, yep, that's how humans look, no doubt about it.

  • I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too

    Jump

  • Gotta love Linux newbies talking about their first experiences and they've already tried 3 distros that I have barely on my radar. A few months in, I hardly knew what SystemD was and this guy's already on a distro that explicitly removes it.

  • I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too

    Jump

  • If you prepare an installation USB stick, so-called "Live-USB", and select in the BIOS that it should boot from that, then you can test-drive Linux before you install it.

    There is more details involved, like you may need to turn off Secure Boot in the BIOS, but yeah, point is, you don't have to commit to Linux to try it.

  • A Question about Being A Vegan Dilemma…

    Jump

  • It also has to be said that faux leather is pretty ubiquitous, and well, at least I couldn't tell the difference just from looking at it.

    Fun side-note: When I had to replace the first items where I traditionally had (faux) leather items, I did not remember that faux leather was a thing either.I went really far out of my comfort zone and got shoes with a cloth cover, and a belt + wallet out of cork leather.

    I am very glad that I did do it. The belt is now twice as old as my belts would typically get before falling apart. And the cloth shoes have pretty much unilaterally solved my stinky feet problem. But yeah, a bit silly that I researched quite a bit and did not think of the obvious replacement. 😅

  • it's just the worst

    Jump

  • I'm guessing, you mean this then: https://github.com/edc/bass

    But well, I was rather thinking of when it's using Bash-scripting-syntax to combine multiple commands.Like, maybe there's a for-loop in there. You just can't paste that directly into Fish and have it work. Granted, you should probably put that into a script file, even if you're using Bash, but yeah, just temporarily launching bash is also an option.

  • it's just the worst

    Jump

  • I have that occasionally when I want to copy a complex bash command from somewhere. But yeah, I can then just run bash, run the command in there and then exit back out of there.

  • it's just the worst

    Jump

  • It still gives you basically no advantage compared to just making your terminal emulator launch fish by default. And well, it does give you the major disadvantage that scripts without shebang will fail.

  • it's just the worst

    Jump

  • To me, it genuinely makes a huge difference that I don't have to manually press Ctrl+R for history search. Because 9 times out of 10, I accept a history suggestion from Fish where I did not think about whether it would be in my history.

    This includes really mundane commands, like cd some/deeply/nested/path/. You would not believe, how often I want to cd into the same directory.But I've also had it where I started typing a complicated docker run command and Fish suggests the exact command I want to write, because apparently I already ran that exact command months ago and simply forgot.

  • Code Is Cheap Now. Software Isn’t

    Jump

  • Yeah, my current software project at work was basically half a year of feature development and since then, we've purely tried to get it into the real world, which meant evaluating use-cases to see where it falls flat and what needs stabilizing, as well as figuring out people's needs and how our software can assist with that, then setting up a demo and hoping they find money somewhere...
