  • Don't get me wrong, I think it's very plausible that a millionaire in the 80's/90's would have done gross stuff with children, but until there's evidence I can't say it happened.

    Now his multiple documented cases of serial assault are another situation.

  • May as well throw in a unicorn and two perpetual motion machines.

  • I'm going into my midterm in 30 minutes where we will be desicrating the corpses of trees.

  • Look, I love an offensive joke. I also think there's a time and a place, and a political rally full of people who struggle with fact vs fiction probably isn't the best place for it.

  • I'm in university and I'm hearing this more and more. I keep trying to guide folks away from it, but I also understand the appeal because an LLM can analyze the code in seconds and there's no judgements made.

    It's not a good tool to rely on, but I'm hearing more and more people rely on it as I progress.

  • The best part about this, is that new models will be trained on the garbage from old models and eventually LLMs will just collapse into garbage factories. We'll need filter mechanisms, just like in a Neal Stephenson book.

  • I'll be honest with you, this looks awesome. Unfortunately the amount of setup is more than I'm willing to put into a tool. I'll stick with Kvaesitso for now.

  • Yes, if the issue was a moral one. This issue, however, is a legal one.

  • It sucks if well meaning people are caught up in this, but it also sucks if you're living in the aggressor state of an ongoing war.

  • My younger friend asked why some old cars had a piece of plexiglass on the front of the hood.

    I had to explain that thirty years ago, in this area, you would drive through enough bugs in a day to cover your windscreen. The bug shield would help deflect them. It was a pretty grim lunch after that.

  • I left windows years ago. I only need it for a couple really restrictive apps, so I dual boot, but I only boot in every few months.

    I stopped playing games that use aggressive anticheat as well. 99% of the games I was playing work great, all I lost really was Fortnite and destiny 2, which is worth my sanity dealing with Windows nonsense.

    I e been telling people who switch to; think of it like moving house. When you move to a new house, the bathroom isn't in the same place and the kitchen is different, it's up to you whether the new location is better or not. If you expect your new house to have all the same rooms in all the same places as your old house you'll always be disappointed the whole time. Linux is a different house, pick a house that suits your needs and you'll be happy.

  • This reminds me when my mom told my dad Netflix didn't serve their area because she didn't want another bill.

    He told me that and I was like "Well..." and my mom just yelled from the other room "I JUST CALLED THEY'RE TRYING FOR NEXT YEAR." so I shut up.

  • I haven't seen any studies, I seem to remember there was some news reports many years ago.

    I do know that I've stood in my living room, on the same wifi, and looked art the same item from Amazon on my phone and my brother in laws phone and seen different prices. But that's just another anecdote.

  • Imo, your biggest enemy here is going to be battery life. I bought a sale-priced Lenovo t14s and I always keep a battery back in my bag just in case.

    With a low power profile, having Eclipse open, a web browser to view slides/ documents and Logseq for notes my battery lasts most of the day but if I forget to charge it, it's a pain to use pen and paper for notes.

    An older laptop will have a degraded battery, and you really want maximum lifetime with multiple classes in a day.

  • I've given up trying to find a small phone with decent support. I picked up a Smasnug Flip4 on sale and I'm converted to flip phones now. I loved my Sony XA2 for it's size, but the software support was atrocious.

    My ideal phone is something closer to the Blackberry Bold or the q10, but I realize that's a market segment of 1 so I'll never get it again.

  • TIL Timecube is no longer up. That was my go to site for what the internet used to be like.

  • In 2003 I learned to drive in a 1986 Hyundai Pony. The breaking point was when I got a stop sign on a slight incline and my dad had to get out while I floored it so the car could get moving again.

  • I'm just mad as hell at how many things seem to have topped out in the 1940's. My car is basically the same. Five wheels and I chase an explosion around. Air travel is basically the same. Big aluminum tube that's expensive size as hell. TV is basically the same. Tune in, sit on ass, watch.

    You look at how life changed between 1900-1945, and how life changed since then, and we've really stagnated.

    That's not to say it's all the same, phones are amazing, but they don't change my life fundamentally, a day without my phone is very much the same as a day with my phone.

  • If you're a sewer, you can probably convert some fabric and a cloths hanger into something similar.
