Toribor , 21 days ago to programmerhumor in Good evening I hate Windows. Yes, I have to do this.

I use Ansible on WSL to run Powershell scripts on Windows using VSCode. I’m surprised it works as well as it does.

I’m making another generalization about the dredges of content on 4chan. Go to any 4chan porn board or thread from the last 20 years and eventually it devolves into an argument about circumcision.

You’re right. A real bot trained on 4chan would be too busy arguing about circumcision.

I’m surprised it doesn’t just output the n-word non-stop.

Toribor , 27 days ago to technology in NGO noyb has filed a complaint against ChatGPT for violation of the GDPR

Without blatant privacy and copyright violations AI wouldn’t work. I mean it doesn’t really work anyway but it would work even less.

Toribor , 1 month ago to asklemmy in You wake up from a coma that started back in 2004. What music artist/band/group are you most surprised (good or bad,) by the direction they took musically over the last twenty years?

Every time I’d start to grow out of their sound they’d come out with something completely new and I’d get sucked right back in. And yet their early stuff is so iconic that even parodies of it totally rock.

Toribor , 1 month ago to technology in EcoFlow’s $200 PowerStream is so clever, you might buy a $4,000 solar generator

Reading this I kept thinking “How have I not heard of this?” and then I discovered it’s because this sort of setup isn’t possible in the US.

Toribor , 1 month ago to technology in Google's AI search feature suggested using glue to keep cheese sticking to a pizza

Yeah how long before it tells someone to put motor oil on pancakes since that’s what they use for commercials.

I’ve been using ZFS for a little while now and have been intending to take advantage of snapshotting more. I’m going to have to try this out.

Toribor , 1 month ago to technology in Winamp has announced that it is opening up its source code to enable collaborative development of its legendary player for Windows

It’s been a while since I’ve used Rainmeter, but I love that thing. Such a flexible utility.

Where will I get my pregnant Sonic fix now?

Toribor , 1 month ago to asklemmy in What are your relationship partners most surprised to learn about you?

About two months into dating my now-wife we came across a street piano. I sat down and started playing which blew her mind. She had no idea that I could play. Somehow it hadn’t come up (I’m pretty out of practice) but she acted like it was a big secret I was keeping or something. It was kind of fun to surprise her even though I didn’t do it on purpose.

Toribor , 1 month ago to games in Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut - Launch Trailer | PC Games

Besides the Sony account drama (I don’t care about multiplayer), anyone know how this actually runs performance-wise? I usually assume these ports scale well since it’s a PS4 game but Sony launches have been all over the place.

Toribor , 1 month ago to pcgaming in Sony reportedly forms studio with former Deviation Games devs [~2 months ago they layoff 8% of Playstation workforce]

The whole gaming industry is in a slump because no one is trapped inside due to Covid restrictions anymore so people aren’t buying/playing games at the same rate they were 2 years ago. Studios are trying to trim the fat as much as possible, regardless of the human cost of restructuring.

Toribor , 1 month ago to technology in After 16 years, Ecobee is shutting down support for the original smart thermostat

The newer Ecobee’s can run entirely locally through their homekit integration. I tie mine into home assistant and use it that way. I would never have bought the device if that wasn’t available.

If this old version doesn’t have that available then I’m assuming people purchased it knowing that it was reliant on cloud services. It would be nice if they offered customers options besides just letting the device turn into e-waste but you can understand why they don’t want to burn development hours on a device that’s a decade and a half old.

Just another reason to never buy devices that can’t function without a cloud service.
