  • What's an unpopular UI opinion you have?

    Jump

  • I don't think that's an unpopular opinion. I've basically lived in the command line for more than two decades, and even I prefer UIs for certain tasks:

    • Graphical things like web browsing
    • Things I rarely do, and a UI is readily available

    If I'm cropping a single image, I'm firing up Gimp, Preview, Paint or whatever tool is already installed. If I'm cropping 30 images in the same way, I rediscover how imagemagick works and script it.

    It's all about what's faster and easier to get the job done, and whether a UI or the command line is preferable depends on how often I do the task (which determines if I remember how the CLI works) and how repetitive the task is (which determines if I want to script it).

    What really grinds my gears, though, is how many people prefer a pretty UI over a functioning UI.

  • So close yet so far. Why must hardware support be so weird?

  • I'm guessing the old CPU was simply defective, and they needed to replace it to install any os.

  • Time to have AI make a summary! Gotta give it a few chances to hallucinate stuff.

  • Linux is awesome at home, but aren't y'all forced to use Windows at work?

    Jump

  • I never heard of that, and I doubt it happened. Apple won't touch anything with a GPL license.

  • Wait. This is a thing that happened?!

  • A lot of right-wingers like it because it sounds angry and they don't listen to the lyrics. I've seen right-wingers literally believe that Rage Against The Machine is raging against the Biden administration.

  • Muslim hero tackles Bondi Beach gunman - yet Netanyahu claimed he was Jewish

    Jump

  • I would also argue that he should be allowed a breather after being shot twice and securing the gun. He did all that and you want more?

  • Trump unleashes vicious attack on Rob Reiner just hours after shocking death

    Jump

  • He does care. In this case he's thrilled that he got killed, because in his mind he deserves the death penalty for criticising the almighty Trump.

  • The Best Dark Comedy You've Ever Seen

  • It couldn't even see the spreadsheet. COPILOT() can't see the spreadsheet, only the range you provide in the second parameter. None was provided.

  • The Best Dark Comedy You've Ever Seen

    Jump

  • It was thinking that 15 is the most common answer on the Internet to the request "sum the numbers above".

    The COPILOT() feature does not have access to your spreadsheet. You pass it the cell range it is supposed to use for context in the optional second parameter. The user did not provide any second parameter, so they're just asking it to generate some text based on the text of the prompt and nothing else.

    The person who made this tweet either didn't bother reading how to use the feature, or is being disingenuous.

  • Analysis finds anytime electricity from solar available as battery costs plummet

    Jump

  • I think it's trying to say that you could feasibly use solar-generated power at night and when it's not sunny now, because it has become financially viable to buffer it in a huge battery.

  • There was a guy who got approached by a flight attendant for doing calculus on a plane. Some other passenger had reported him for doing something in Arabic, which we all know could hijack and take down the plane!

  • FFmpeg to Google: Fund Us or Stop Sending Bugs

  • Service Level Agreement. It's when you have a contract requiring a certain level of service, like minimum 99.999% uptime or (in my example) a maximum 30 second response time on support requests.

    This is something you typically get from an enterprise vendor (although 30 seconds is exaggerated) in return for paying them a lot of money. It's not something you can expect for free from volunteers.

  • I also thought it was an Etch-a-Sketch at first due to the frame, but you couldn't actually do this on an Etch-a-Sketch. It can only do one long continuous line.

  • A new ‘solution’ to student homelessness: a parking lot where students can sleep safely in their cars

    Jump

  • A friend of mine used to live in his car, and he told me the worst part was getting chased away all the time. This would remove some stress from a very stressful situation.

  • I guess it could be, if you're experimenting with it recreationally, and your dealer is selling both? That path is easily avoided by just legalizing weed, though.

    If you're looking for drugs because your doctor prescribed buckets of oxy for your back pain, only to then pull the rug and expect you to quit cold turkey, you're going straight to opiates.

  • Don't they get re-creased when you fold them up, though?

  • Don't know, I speak german

    Jump

  • Korn means "grain" in German, so both the name and illustration suggests this is made from fermented grains.

  • Do you feel content warnings are beneficial?

    Jump

  • My life has been pretty trauma free, but even I sometimes benefit from trigger warnings. Sometimes you're just not in the mood for certain themes.

    I was once on a long flight to attend the funeral of a close friend, and was watching a movie on the flight. I didn't know there'd be a funeral scene, and that hit way harder in the state of mind I was in at the time. I don't regret watching the movie, but it did give me a glimpse of how triggers work, in a form probably much milder than how people with real trauma would experience it.

    In general I often find that accommodations for people with special needs often also benefit the general population. Accessible web design is often more pleasant to use in my experience, and probably easier for search engines also.

  • Linux traffic has grown 22.4% in PH this year

  • Chrome OS is down, they probably got reinstalled with regular Linux. The rest represents about 1% of the total market share, which could probably be Steam Decks.
