vrighter ,

it’s when devs of a graphics stack just suddenly feel the need to protect your own computer from itself, so they say fuck you to any features that they deem “insecure”, including accessibility features (they will claim they fixed this, but it’s opt-in per app. old apps will just be completely unusable for some people with special needs.)

But they eliminated tearing on the desktop! woo!!!

vrighter ,

more like "move glacially and declare things as "will not support’ so technically we had nothing TO fix!"

vrighter ,

followed by “worcestershire sauce”

vrighter ,

you know that the confidence value is generated by the ai itself right? So it could still spew out bullshit with high confidence. The confidence score doesn’t really help much

vrighter ,

so, you have gigabytesper second of disk io, and the game relies on the couple of megaBITS of internet bandwidth most people have to stream textures? As opposed to downloading and installing them once as an update…

This does not pass the smell test.

vrighter ,

if i park in the shade, and therefore don’t have to turn on the ac as soon as I get in, I think that would be about the same, savings wise.

vrighter ,

ever notice how most of them look like a rectangle and have glass on the front?

vrighter ,

iiuc he contracted a reputable company to build it for him

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google’s new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won’t slide off (pssst…please don’t do this.)...

vrighter ,

suffers from all the same problems features. It’s inherent to the tech itself.

vrighter ,

no, the truth is it’s impossible even then. If the result involves randomness at its most fundamental level, then it’s not reliable whatever you do.

vrighter ,

rule of thumb: multiply by 4 to convert from years to quarters. You’re welcome.

Kicked macOS to the Curb and Installed Asahi Fedora Gnome

Most of the switching posts are from frustrated windows users making the jump. I’m already a Linux user on my server (Ubuntu for now, going Debian at some point) and a 2014 iMac for tinkering/testing (KDE Neon), and a couple of raspberry pis (raspberry pi os headless) but our main household computer is an M1 Mac mini that my...

vrighter ,

you mean it doesn’t work when the device is turned off? weird! /s

vrighter ,

much sad. very grieve. wow

vrighter ,

celsius or fahrenheit?

vrighter ,

sometimes, a script needs to be edited in a plain text editor, without having access to an lsp or any other dev tools.

I need to wake up early (lemmy.world)

All the vibrating alarm clocks I could find do not sync with your phone, and have to be set manually. I thought about getting an Arduino, but then I will have to build the whole thing by myself. The only logical conclusion I could come up with is to get a programable vibrator. But most of them are either very expensive of look...

vrighter ,

so you can set alarms on you phone. And have the vibrator vibrate on time. duh!

vrighter ,

no, you can’t

vrighter ,

yes, but you don’t set it from your phone.

vrighter ,

it never knows what it’s saying

vrighter ,

no, there hasn’t. What games called ai has nothing to do with the generative ai bullshit of today

vrighter ,

and how, pray tell, do you think contactless cards work?

vrighter ,

not stole. Were given.

If code is law, then they just found the right way to ask. And the code gave the money to them, because they asked nicely.

SGE, ChatGPT and the likes are the stupidest thing to come from AI

This may be an unpopular opinnion… Let me get this straight. We get big tech corporations to read the articles of the web and then summarize to me, the user the info I am looking for. Sounds cool, right? Yeah, except that why in the everloving duck would I trust Google, Microsoft, Apple or Meta to give me the correct info,...

vrighter ,

because of ai stuff. For these kinds of things, they are perfectly happy to advertise unprecedented 99% accuracy rates, when in reality, non ai tools are held to much higher standard (mainly that they are expected to work). If the code I wrote had a consistent, perpetual 1% failure rate (even after fixing it, multiple times), I’d have been fired long ago.

vrighter ,

sometimes it takes minutes to load the calendar, only to still fail

vrighter ,

on android, it is the only app I have found that’s not compatible with my keyboard. You read that right. How the hell do you fuck that up?

vrighter ,

so your main complaints are that its most basic usecase sucks, but it works quite well. which is it?

vrighter ,

but they have a lot more disadvantages for most scenarios (if you’re not a faang scale company, you probably don’t need them)

vrighter ,

i don’t have to choose to sacrifice my life to survive!

vrighter ,

if they don’t make enough tips to reach minimum wage, the employer still has to pay

vrighter ,

well it is that one person causing issues

vrighter ,

by issues I mean breaking existing users’ workflow, possibly literally locking them out (I personally use a yubikey with my keepass db, for example).

There is a very simple solution he could have done: not rename the existing package. Just give his fork a new name. That’s it, everybody is happy.

So yes, he is the one causing issues. Because the issue isn’t in the features he removed, but by breaking the users’expectation that the package they installed yesterday, is the same one they’re updating today.

vrighter ,

it’s all the same web 2.0 bullshit, but for anything with crypto in its name

vrighter ,

this has “draw the rest of the fucking owl” vibes to it. especially step 3

vrighter ,

that’s not how asymptotes work.

vrighter ,

I will, in turn, be very thoutful about buying any of your games.

vrighter ,

when in need, cry out for mommy!

vrighter ,

have you seen the show Severance? This is exactly the premise of that show.

vrighter ,

another valve?

vrighter ,

why is proper healthcare possible anywhere except there? Capitalism is not a us specific thing, so it can’t be relevant. We have tons of counterexamples to your argument

vrighter ,

so, you can get around the burden of proof by getting enough people to perpetrate the lie?

vrighter ,

m

usually the commits at the end of the day when I haven’t finished a task yet. It will be squashed and disappear eventually.

vrighter ,

i have one, it’s not very good tbh. You would need to modify the software yourself to make it actually practical. some way to lock the screen, some way to vibrate more than one 250ms blip when an alarm is triggered, stuff like that.

vrighter ,

if you don’t play certain multiplayer games that use invasive anti-cheat software, then you really should give it a go! It’s gotten to the point where I first buy games and then worry about compatibility. The vast majorityic just work with minor tweaks at the most (setting some launch arguments usually)

vrighter ,

spooky action at a distance!

ChatGPT provides false information about people, and OpenAI can’t correct it (noyb.eu)

It’s clear that companies are currently unable to make chatbots like ChatGPT comply with EU law, when processing data about individuals. If a system cannot produce accurate and transparent results, it cannot be used to generate data about individuals. The technology has to follow the legal requirements, not the other way...

vrighter ,

If you try to start learning how they work, the first thing you realize is that hallucinations are fundamental to how the technology works. Of course they are unfixable. That’s literally how they work.

They’re broken clocks that happen to be right more than just twice a day, but still broken nonetheless.

vrighter ,

they would not be banned outright. They just can’t be used to process data about customers.

But an ai furry porn generator doesn’t necessarily process customer data

vrighter ,

so they’re the stubborn ones who keep wanting to make gnome different for difference’s sake? If so, good riddance. Maybe gnome can start working on becoming my de of choice again
