  • What are some hobbies that are generally looked down on but are not really problematic?

    Jump

  • I look at model trains as an addiction I might not come back from.

    I always feel that I am just waiting one more day before I give up my basement, free time and money to it. (Only respect to people who use the same technique to hold off serious addictions. It just also happens to work for model trains...so far.)

  • What are some hobbies that are generally looked down on but are not really problematic?

    Jump

  • Yes, but it's still rude of us to assume that. It is polite to pretend that we would grow something else, if we had a greenhouse.

  • This is my introduction. I hope you enjoy my comics

    Jump

  • Funniest thing I've seen today. (This is not sarcasm, the comic is great.)

    Thank you.

  • Vibe Coding Has a Security Problem Nobody Wants to Talk About

    Jump

  • Yes. And let's not forget bringing back the classic "forgot to even put a password on the sensitive files".

  • I tried to install Pop! and broke my system and really really need help if anyone is willing

    Jump

  • Good for you taking a break.

    Here's a few things I think you should know:

    • You're doing well, in your responses! This stuff is just hard to communicate about. You are succeeding in sharing information and asking questions. Keep it up.
    • Everything I have seen in this thread indicates your computer can be fixed. I have broken mine worse more than once, and brought it back.
    • Most of us have been in your shoes, with the same amount of fear, confusion and helpless feelings. So...uh...welcome to our little club. We get together sometimes and hang out (mostly virtually, admittedly).
    • This sucks right now, but makes a hell of a story later.
    • Everyone I know who is now way smarter than me, has a story like the one you're having now. We learn by trying things. Sometimes we regret it for a few days.
    • You can get through this. Breathe, take your time, and keep reaching out for help.
    • None of us can pay back the folks who pulled our ass out of the fire when we were in your shoes, but we can keep helping you.

  • The Junior Developer Is Going Extinct

    Jump

  • Why don't universities just offer courses where you graduate as senior dev?

    This exists, but it isn't easy to gather expert levels of programming experience willing to work for a teacher's salary. So your mileage may vary.

  • What Was the Golden Era of Video Games?

    Jump

  • Absolutely. Flash games count.

  • I think Lemmy in general is very against AI. I'm rather new here, is it like a fediverse group thing or is this even based on reality?

    Jump

  • There a strong amount of astroturfing even over on Mastodon. I imagine it's worse on the billionaire owned socials.

    If John Mastodon can't stop the astroturfing, there's no way those lesser founders can.

    Jump

  • I would buy that.

  • Sam Altman would like remind you that humans use a lot of energy, too | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • I'm hearing, "We will save the planet by killing all humans."

  • Does anyone else feel unsatisfied with their installs being perfectly balanced and "optimized" - Weltschmerz

    Jump

  • I love the phrase "ricing my daily Debian driver".

    I do often have this feeling "everyone could be enjoying this".

    Once in awhile it comes out when someone asks me about how I countered some Microsoft or Apple bullshit, and I admit I jumped ship and have been enjoying software freedom.

    A few have actually switched after interrogating me about my experiences.

  • YSK Article Five of the United States Constitution

    Jump

  • Oof, so you think that greater than 70% of the people in congress care more about their take home pay than the success of the country they represent?

    Yes. Easily greater than 70%.

  • AI advice

    Jump

  • Dang. I haven't always been able replicate these, but every model I've tried provides increasing dumb answers to this.

    (These are semi-ethically sourced from small non-web non-data-center models, stolen, in turn, from the original thieves who created them from stolen data.)

    So, I'd recommend taking the walk. It's a great opportunity to stretch your legs and clear your mind before or after washing your car!

    Sure, why not both? Take a leisurely stroll to the carwash, and once you reach it, jump into the driver's seat for some washing fun! It'll be like a little adventure where you get to combine two activities into one. 😉

    Both walking and driving would be great options, depending on your personal preferences and circumstances.

  • That's brilliant. I wish I had thought of it....or at least parked next to him sometime.

  • Need a solid daily driver browser that’s good for most things

  • LibreWolf is great.

  • Microslop’s new gaming CEO vows not to flood the ecosystem with ‘endless AI slop’ | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Thank goodness. I'll file that right next to all their assurances to the courts that they weren't buying game studios just to shut down competitors.

  • 1999 Toyota Corolla

    Jump

  • I had that car, once. I used to search the parking lot every time I parked because it's just easier to park next to one or two other gray Honda Civics, than to walk up to each one to figure out which was mine.

  • Amazon's vibe-coding tool Kiro reportedly vibed too hard and brought down AWS

    Jump

  • Evidence that vibe coding makes even AWS go to shit.

    And of course their answer is to plan to vibe coder better, in the future. 🤖💩
