Maybe in gaming is where we will see it first, before other software and webapps.

If the DRAM shortage is long and protracted, perhaps more dumb appliances will make their return, but that’s just a pipe dream of mine.

Bye Trump, ¡Holá Presidenta!

Not bad but I’ll call it a “stopgap” rather than a solution.

Safe places for homeless people need to be offered more widely, secure parking lots could help others as well in the short term.

I can recall two instances of Lemmy making the news…

One, IIRC is of some person who carried out political violence or some other nasty thing who also just so happened to host a Lemmy server in the years pre-Reddit-exodus for unrelated reasons. I can’t remember enough details to find the article if someone can help.

The second is a 404media article crediting @silence7@slrpnk.net for spotting missing sections of the Constitution on the White House website (article, discussion)

For debugging there is the Google antigravity method: there can’t be bugs if it wipes the whole drive containing your project (taps head)

I did see someone write a post about Chat Oriented Programming, to me that appeared successful, but not without cost and extra care. Original Link, Discussion Thread

Successful in that it wrote code faster and its output stuck to conventions better than the author would. But they had to watch it like a hawk and with the discipline of a senior developer putting full attention over a junior, stop and swear at it every time it ignored the rules that they give at the beginning of each session, terminate the session when it starts doing a autocompactification routine that wastes your money and makes Claude forget everything. And you try to dump what it has completed each time. One of the costs seem to be the sanity of the developer, so I really question if it’s a sustainable way of doing things from both the model side and from developers. To be actually successful you need to know what you’re doing otherwise it’s easy to fall in a trap like the CTO, trusting the AI’s assertions that everything is hunky-dory.

Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) added in his own message, “Deny entry. Deport all non-citizens. Denaturalize all fraudsters.”

“We start with Afghanistan,” Fine added. “But we must not end there.”

Right-wing Cuban immigrants in Florida, among others, are about to get what they voted for…

I’ve thought it over again after reading your comment, if airlines really wanted to weasel out of offering a window, and didn’t want to call it an ‘outer wall seat’ for clarity, they could call it a “window-side seat”, “window-adjacent seat”, or “window-end seat”. That would be like the American product saying “chocolate-flavored candy”, where it’s technically true and only misleads enough not to be afoul of the law.

Wall seat or outer seat, I would think.

It was only because of airlines’ decision to change seating layouts that made it out of alignment with the aircraft’s windows to maximize capacity, and since then they have been attempting to redefine the what a window seat is.

HSR should give this guy bus driver training!

I think much of the gatekeeping is over concern that if you mess up, you could unknowingly be allowing a sophisticated hacker to access all the data on your network, without any obvious signs. And maybe some people don’t want to field noob questions like “I clicked something and now the GUI gives a 😕 and doesn’t work anymore, what do I do?”.

There is a skill floor, I would say similarly that you wouldn’t be ready to install Linux yourself if you don’t get suspicious when a .iso download gives you a .exe file instead.

I think Yunohost is a decent solution for beginners that avoids as much of the nitty-gritty as possible. Louis Rossman has made a massive guide that’s about as close as an IKEA step-by-step as you can get with this stuff. We should be encouraging people to learn, but there is a sense of reticence to have people get too in over their heads due to cybersecurity reasons.

Edit: linked the guide

Oops. The strategy to put on a cruel and embarrassing display to dissuade investment, and then ask for unilateral investment isn’t working?

Would you look at that, the first snowflakes of the season came early! ❄️

Why are workers so lazy? All you need to succeed in life is grit, a can-do attitude and a small settlement of 230 million dollars!

Well, uh, try training your AI with the lessons learned, and hope it doesn’t instantly pretend it never happened the very next day.

The one value proposition for juniors is that though they screw up a lot, they learn by screwing up. High turnover and curtailing your junior experience using AI are major technical mistakes on management’s part.

It really shows what a great life that we on the Fediverse are living, by making our tech independent to a degree from the largest tech providers.

Adult Swim pioneered this over a decade ago with SmartPipe

How about someone start a community called outsideUSnews, nonUSApolitics etc.? Where every country other than USA’s news and politics are discussed.

So more like “wealthcare” than healthcare.
