that must mean outlook is for entertainment purposes only too, since it includes copilot now…

There’s no silver bullet, but this is one of the higher priorities. It doesn’t really work if there’s still no alternative to driving however…

Also how big is it…

Maybe would be less true if the pedestrian pic featured less car infrastructure 😅

E.g. Catharijnesingel in Utrecht, Netherlands.

I don’t get why he thinks reducing car dependancy is incompatible with being a “car guy”: it’s always more fun to drive when there’s fewer people driving, and thays what reducing car dependancy achieves…

Also, car dependency leads to car companies focusing on the most boring cars to drive: crossovers and suvs without any offroad capability, and governments building roads that are the least interesting to drive on: big highways.

I like to drive, but not when I have to drive…

Windows 10 was ok-ish until they announced

Windows 11 and ramped up it’s enshitification… They improved the tiles idea a lot over windows 8

Windows phone 7 was great too…

I use Linux now though too, I’ve found flatpak isn’t a silver bullet though: depending on what distro you’re using and what distro whoever made the flatpak was using sometimes strange issues happen such as not loading in dark mode or losing settings on close/shutdown…

Side note: I thought that meme was from idiocracy, but apparently it’s actually from a 4chan greentext and I had made a false memory of it being in the movie 😅

The road layout there is absolute garbage but at least there’s some decent density around there😅

That’s one of the more walkable areas of Auckland(region)… 😅

I don’t see how it’s more expensive or less safe for authentication to be signing with a private key and publishing the public key…

The copyright concerns can be mitigated somewhat by prompting to follow existing patterns in the codebase(and double checking that it has done that when reviewing the generated code)

it enriches the pocketbooks of the techno-fascists that run those datacenters.

Depends, in a lot of cases it costs them more money to service the query than they charge 😅.

Although it’s all borrowed money so it doesn’t matter to them…

Still causing all that havoc on the environment and poisoning with potentially proprietary stolen code though…

They’re gonna be running those data centers regardless though, as most of the compute time is spent on training new models…

AI “thinks” whatever you tell it to think…

It can be good at generating boilerplate code or copying an existing solution, so maybe it might be useful for less critical parts such as adding a GUI for some feature that was previously limited to the command line…

It seems most browsers basically ignore them:

So probably not worth remembering anyway.

You could have that, would just have to be experience writing code for AI, rather than vice versa…

I’d recommend using lasers for that 🤣

If I want to see the comment section I use official app, and just pause the ad.

It doesn’t matter, it’s a sport. All sport/games are about overcoming unnecessary obstacles within some arbitrary rules. They’re not training for the Olympics but they’re playing the same game: electric motors aren’t allowed in the Olympics so they don’t use them.

As for why they get annoyed at others using electric motors I have no idea: It’s like if a chess player got annoyed if they saw someone playing checkers 😅
