  • Benefit of AI?

    Jump

  • I'm conflicted because more people joining the open source community and contributing is great. That said, open source is an ecosystem that covers everything from the application, to the build system and the code editor used to write the code. A lot of the people contributing to FOSS care a lot about the quality of their code, and being part of it means respecting the community.

    But most of the AI models being used to write vibe coded or ai assisted code is not at all sustainable, it's a huge part of the toolset that is locked behind corporate infrastructure. A lot of code spit out by LLMs is rarely workable or designed to be extended or transformed, and very few are critical of the quality of the code. I know even at work I've been frustrated at having to fix, work with or re factor code that has been written with the help of ai.

  • What are alternative to searching using web search engines?

    Jump

  • That's not unfortunate to be honest. It's how they can make a search engine that is both good and doesn't harvest user data or rely on ads.

  • Wanted to be a marine biologist as a kid. Then found out that people actually made video games. Now I make video games for a living. It's alright

  • Outside of politics, have you ever had a position on something that you have doubled down on and refused to move an inch on to the point of upsetting someone? Were you right?

  • Domestication is interesting because your average German shepherd is arguably living a significantly higher quality of life than a wolf living in the wild. While they may not have the same "freedom" as a wolf living in the woods, the wolf lives in its own shackles, always fighting for food, shelter and protection from predators. While I don't disagree that having pets is fundamentally a problematic concept, I also think its always a bad idea to attribute abstract human traits and concepts onto animals, most of which want food, water, safe territory, and engagement.

    Almost every animal specialist I talked to never talks about animals as if they were people, they always have a sense of respect for them being an animal and of a different species. I suppose they have a greater understanding of what an animal "wants".

  • You need to stop using Brave

    Jump

  • Firefox is becoming a shitty ai browser now. Consider waterfox or librewolf

  • What paid software is absolutely worth the money?

    Jump

  • Hmm odd. So there isn't really much of a difference between using libre sprite and aseprite.

  • What paid software is absolutely worth the money?

    Jump

  • It used to be gpl licensed

    Jump

  • Yeah it does look like cloud sync is free now. I was a pretty early adopter of bitwarden so I believe originally you had to pay for cloud sync support, but I may be wrong.

    Still, I'll continue to support them because they're the only password manager I've used that has some semblance of mutual respect.

  • What paid software is absolutely worth the money?

    Jump

  • Basically storing an encrypted backup of your secure content so that a password you add to bitwarden on desktop can be accessed via your phone, accessible via a login.

    Jump

  • Bitwarden. It's free and open source, but you can pay for a subscription if you don't want to self host for synchronisation between devices. It's very cheap and no doubt worth it.

    Also Aseprite, for pixel art and custom format exports.

    Edit: looks like both these programs are just straight up fully featured and freely available now.

  • Damn

  • Jon Arryn is dead!

  • i cant wait to get a steam frame

    Jump

  • Well, we'll see if the steam frame can handle it. I imagine it won't.

  • Pets DO NOT belong inside homes

    Jump

  • Many urban and suburban places in Australia have precious native bird life. They do have a measurable impact on the native population.

  • Dusting off the old PS2

    Jump

  • I recently bought a ps2 slim to enjoy some old titles and ran into a big problem. They look terrible on modern TV's even ones with built in component. Might have to look into some sort of upscaler.

  • i cant wait to get a steam frame

    Jump

  • The steam frame, while seemingly really cool, just won't be able to handle the worst of pc vr chat because it's 100% guaranteed to be worse than a dedicated pc. Dedicated pcs already struggle with vr chat. It's because there's a million people with custom unoptimised player models everywhere.

  • Thanks, Google. Very cool.

    Jump

  • Haha the same happened to me and I laughed triumphantly (as they continue to harvest my data)

  • Thanks, Google. Very cool.

  • Settings->data and privacy-> turn alllll that shit off

  • Thanks, Google. Very cool.

  • I didn't get one because of my strict discord privacy settings

  • What Youtube channel has maintained high quality standards over the years?

    Jump

  • He's recently been less active due to an illness and then death in the family. He talked about it in a community post. Either way, I'm glad he found a pace that better fits him.
