nachtigall , to linux in Which distro has the best GUI in your opinion?

Deepin is great too. Unfortunately it is not fully translated so that you come across Chinese quite often.

Iwamoto , to technology in 👋 Have you stopped using Google much because of ChatGPT/Bing ?👀

I only use DDG to search for answers on the web.

At the moment, CGPT is mostly used for building me small scripts. i’m not a great programmer, but i do understand bash script most of the time. so often if i need something done i’ll just ask CGPT to build me something and i think it only made a mistake once.

Yeah choose one,

  • 12 websites written mostly by templates that are keyword-stuffed to sound like your question, and one might contain an answer in the 8th paragraph.
  • A response from a bot that’s unreliable, but extremely specific to your query.

Not really (I wasn’t using Google directly anyway), I think it fills a slightly different niche than search engines.

It’s good as a fuzzy search for the sum of public knowledge, since it can understand quite complex queries and point you in the right direction, then you can go to regular search engines to find more specific stuff.

Bing was fun to exploit, but I don’t really see why it’s useful, it tends to always look up information which means it provides less of its own knowledge, I can do the searches myself better than an LM. Maybe it can provide more concise answers than all the SEO crap everywhere, but that can be avoided by searching on specific websites like reddit.

They aren’t designed to be right, they’re designed to look like they’re right

spacedout , to technology in What the hell are Digital Humanities?
@spacedout@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s about methodology more than research questions, although they are of course linked. Incorporating digital methods in your humanities project, like GIS, 3D modeling or ABM, will quickly land you in digital humanities. Remember though, humanities have a lot of theory and methodology you might be unfamiliar with as a CS student, so teaming up with someone who has those skills but lack in programming etc. will synergize in this field.

scoobford , to literature in What are you reading? (June 2023)

The Murderbot Diaries.

I’ve been enjoying it, it has a surprising amount of heart for a series about an emotionally damaged not-robot.

No, but recently i’ve stopped using Google as well. Currently I mostly use Ecosia, I think their company philosophy is pretty cool and I like the results so far. I don’t think that ChatGPT works as a substitute for a search engine for my uses at least, as many of my searches require me to check multiple links and I don’t always type in the full natural language sentences necessary for ChatGPT.

Currently reading Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy really fun reads though it got weird in some places

nachtigall , to technology in What is your favourite 3rd party Lemmy client?

Jerboa on Android, Mlem on iOS (as they are both the only options for now)

Lowbird , to gaming in Game Pass - What's your favorite sleeper hit?

Ravenlok is dope. It’s easy, and button-mashy, but my god the visuals and music make up for all of it. It swept me away. I think it would be especially fantastic for kids, but definitely enjoyable for adults to.

Valheim is great in single-player, to my surprise.

I like Redfall. ducks But seriously, I do. I like the big open world, the over-the-top vampire thing, the feeling of finding the best way to sneak up on the enemy and take them down. The guns feel satisfying to me. I get excited every time I find a better one. I’m curious where the story is going. Some of the set pieces and environmental storytelling moments are really cool.

I haven’t encountered many bugs at all. One time some enemies appeared out of nowhere, but honestly that just fit in with the vibe of the game anyway.

The AI is dumb, but… I’m finding I don’t care. They’re numerous and still manage to kill me sometimes. I’m ignoring it entirely the same way I ignore it in the original Deus Ex.

It’s not a Dishonored or a Prey, but it’s not trying to be, either. It’s great if you just want to explore an interesting map and do some sneaking and shooting and looting.

I’m obviously the minority in this opinion, but also, it’s on gamepass, so it doesn’t cost anything to try if you haven’t. I almost didn’t because of the reviews and I’m very glad I gave it a chance anyway.

Zahtu , to gaming in MMORPG?

Lotro - great community, great designs on raid encounters in endgame, where you will die if not everyone plays their role, starting from tier 2. Tier 1 is always designed as a learning experience before moving to tier 2, which makes it great for casuals like myself to get into. Only issue I have is the bloat of leveling, where you now have to go endless hours untill reaching endgame, almost mostly without seeing other players, as those areas are now empty. Feels more like a mediocre Singleplayer game during that time. Otherwise I have started recently on tWoW, lots of people to quest with, which is great 😃

karce , to piracy in What are your favorite piracy apps on your android box?
@karce@beehaw.org avatar

I used to run OSMC and had Kodi and everything on there but honestly it was more trouble than it was worth. Kodi and it’s piracy addons are pretty buggy in most cases and fail to work reliably for very long. Since then I’ve switched back to using Plex but soon I may have to switch again to Jellyfin.

I still use google. If I have a programming related query I use it normally. Otherwise I search for example “best cheap iems reddit” because Google has cannibalised itself by the means of SEO.
