Instead of “yes” answer “Oh God yes”. At a fitting moment say “Oh God I’m going to cum”

I wish I would get actual spam calls so I could try this out :D

The head of Microsoft’s CoreAI division wants to make us believe they will use less AI.

Kagi is honestly amazing. I was expecting it to be a little better than Google, but most of the time it even takes me back to a time before the great sloppification. I look stuff up and I find it, that’s all I want and I am gladly paying for that.

Apart from the obvious environmental issues, I hate that “AI” promotes lazyness.

I work as a software developer and over the last months, I slipped into a habit of letting ChatGPT write more and more code for me. It’s just so easy to do! Write a function here, do some documentation there, do all of the boilerplate for me, set up some pre-commit hooks, …

Two weeks ago I deleted my OpenAI account and forced myself to write all code without LLMs, just as I did before. Because there is one very real problem of excessive AI useage in software development: Skill atrophy.

I was actively losing knowledge. Sometimes I had to look up the easiest things (like builtin Javascript functions) I was definitely able to work with off the top of my head just a year ago. I turned away from being an actual developer to someone chatting with a machine. I slowly lost the fun in coding, because I outsourced the problem solving aspects that gave me a dopamine boost to the AI. I basically became a glorified copypaster.

This is what all of those big AI companies want. They want people being dependent on their stupid little chatbots, just so they can suck a monthly subscription out of you. That really doesn’t sit right with me - I always wrote code to pay my bills and paying someone else to write that code for me feels disingenuous, in a way. I would probably be more open about AI and use it more if I had the option to host it locally. But now they’re hoarding all of the memory, CPU’s and other technology that would enable me to do so and drive their prices into unobtanium territory, and they can all get fucked for this.

I don’t want to be a “prompt engineer” and outsource my brain into an LLM. Thank god my employer doesn’t force me to use any AI at all and I don’t have to be fast, I just have to be fast enough and produce quality code. And I can do this all by myself, I always could.

I do feel like the last man standing, sometimes. Almost all of my colleagues and friends (who are also developers) have drank the AI-koolaid by now and I get so many messages like “We have Windsurf at our company now, you must use it or you’ll be left behind!”. It’s so hard to push back and resist this hype cycle, especially for students and junior developers, because they don’t have much experience and can be so easily exploited by their employers and AI techbros…

So that’s (mostly) what I hate. A good technology that’s being misused by a capitalistic system. Again.

I bought a netbook (GPD Win Max 2) with 64GB of RAM last year. It was really expensive, by 2025 standards.

But now I feel like I have the power of the universe in my jacket pocket. Best irresponsible buying decision I ever made.

Unintentionally accurate typo

Most people didn’t even notice such a vote was happening until today, when it spilled over to lemmy.world.
A discussion topic about it on Feddit was only created six hours ago and most people in there are like “Oh no! Anyway…”.

Seems more like you want people to be furious. We can all wish for something, but that doesn’t mean it’ll actually happen.

My guess is that they’ll be seething when they find out.

From what I get, most of us are just relieved. The moderation team should definitely pop the champagne today, because there’s a lot less work to do from now on. 🍾

In Germany, after national socialism, we have very strict rules on how you are allowed to talk about it, because there were unfortunately a lot of people still denying it or not believing it.

True. But a lot of people on the whole Fediverse seem to be very narrow-minded black-and-white thinkers. In their logic, abiding to the law in Germany is equivalent to following direct orders from the Gestapo. Maybe you just don’t want to get arrested and put in jail for running a niche community on the internet, but that’s not even an argument to them.

Some people in that db0 thread even suggested feddit.org should just shut down completely, which is ridiculous. Every country must’ve laws you don’t agree with, but you don’t run and hide because of that.

This “we vs. them” attitude is exactly what’s been criticized about MAGA all of the time, but doing it in this case is perfectly legitimate, somehow. I don’t know what kind of brain gymnastics you’ll have to do to come to a conclusion like this.

It’s just exhausting trying to talk to these people. I say let them shut down their community and hang out in their radicalized bubble. Good riddance.

Ah Shit, here we go again.

This is the toaster equivalent of the longcat meme.

The Jelly Star will even get an Android 16 update this month, after staying on Android 13 for ages. Unihertz got pressure from the competition. :)

OpenAI is discontinuing

Should’ve ended it right here.

I love how she roasts this professor into the ground, wo graded his students’ papers with an AI chatbot for two years and then accidentally deleted all of the data.

“The delete button is sure to be deletin’ - watch out, guys!”

I also tried checking the power state with commands you gave me and they failed.

Like I said, those commands only work if you use the open-source nouveau driver, not the proprietary one directly from Nvidia. Nvidia’s driver should be able to use dynamic power switching, so you don’t have to do anything.

I’m honestly surprised Hogwarts Legacy even runs at all on Windows. :D

The Information says it is not clear if Apple plans to sell the pin on its own or bundle it with future smart glasses or other devices, but the physical button and built-in cameras, speakers, and microphones suggest that it can operate independently.

How about not releasing this at all? Nobody wants this.

gtx 750

That card only supports Vulkan 1.2 in hardware and Steam’s Proton does not run well on that (it needs Vulkan 1.4), so most games crash (or have graphical issues) because the DirectX calls cannot be translated properly.

I have a 780Ti card and I used Proton-Sarek from here, it makes it work with a lot of games: https://github.com/pythonlover02/Proton-Sarek

In general, I would recommend an AMD card for Linux. Nvidia is just painful, especially older cards that aren’t well supported on Nouveau.

Those old Nvidia GTX cards also don’t support adaptive clocking, so they run on low clockspeeds by default. You might need to set the clocks manually if you want (kinda) the same performance you get on Windows.

You can list the available power states with cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pstate and then set one like this (if 0f is the one you want): echo 0f > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pstate (only if you use the nouveau driver, not the one from Nvidia)

Sometimes apps get very…wonky when moved from a monitor with a normal 100% scaling to one where it has 150% scaling or so.

I just love it when I take a screenshot on the edge of my screen with Spectacle but the “Copy to clipboard” button gets lost somewhere between two screens with different DPI.
