  • What is your "hunch"?

  • This was a fascinating read. As someone with a strong disdain for European ideals (love the socialism, hate how they got there) I was ready to raise my pitchfork at fhe start but this... this makes sense. Europeans have a scarcity mindset and when they came to places that didnt need that as much they turned into the seagulls from finding nemo. And as a result they decimated my people and millions of other peoples across the globe like mine who seemed to have shit better figured out socially.

  • I'm required to use LLMs for work (we have metrics and I've been told I should use AI daily) and while every once in a while they are useful (i.e. getting examples for stuff that has inadequate documentation) 99% of the time they just piss me off. The output and results are seldom what I want and rather than spend the time to direct it to do what I want I'd often rather just do the work myself. Furthermore when my coworkers send me PRs that are obviously AI the code quality is pretty shit and usually doesnt actually accomplish what we need in a way that makes sense. As someone who has invested a lot of time in improving my coding ability and knowledge I see AI code and it makes me whince.

  • Anyone got any informative YouTube channels that DON’T use AI slop?

  • Veritasium got bought by venture capital a while ago. They can still be informative and decent but they feel so hollow now I can't usually stand to watch them.

  • It's not that difficult to get SELinux working with podman quadlets, especially if you run things rootless. I have a kerberized service account for each application I host and my quadlets are configured to run under those. I very rarely encounter applications that simoky can't be run rootless but I usually can find an adequate alternative. I think right now the only thing that runs as root is one of the talk or collabora containers in my nextcloud stack. No selinux issues either.

  • I wanna clarify that when i say VS Code I'm talking about Visual Studio Code. I was only commenting on the difference between Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code because you said you downloaded Visual Studio and was confused why a text editor was 30gb, and it's possible you downloaded the IDE rather than the text editor. I apologize if you thought i was talking about Visual Code; I wasn't.

    And i agree that JetBrains has started to enshittify but I also think their enshittification has been pretty slow because they sell professional tools that still have to perform the basic functionality of an IDE. And for the modt part I've been able to disable all AI features save the ones I'm required to use at work (yay AI usage metrics ;-;)

  • VS Code is considered a highly extensible text editor that can be used as an IDE, especially for web based tools, but it isnt an IDE. It's more comparable to Neovim or Emacs than to IntelliJ in terms of the role it's supposed to fill. Technically. VS Code definitely is used more as an IDE by most people, and those people are weak imo. I'm not one to shill for companies (i promise this isnt astroturf) but if you need to write code Jetbrains probably has the best IDE for that language. Not always true but moee often than not it is imo.

  • Visual Studio is the IDE. VS Code is the text editor.

  • Its because Polaris is actually three stars in a trenchcoat, two of which are older than sharks with one of them being younger. Polaris Aa, the brightest star and what we call the North Star, is probably younger than sharks, while Polaris Ab is probably older than sharks. Polaris B is almost certainly significantly older than sharks.

  • OP is referring to people who only refer to women as "females". its a weird trait from the manosphere. you'll hear shit like "these females nowadays..." or "you know what the problem with females is...". they can't call them women for some reason. like they can see a group of women and instead of calling them a group of women, they'll be like "those females".

  • the missile doesnt need to survive mount doom, it just needs to survive long enough to accurately and precisely deliver the ring into mount doom. however that does not mean that saurons tower wouldn't be susceptible to a missile attack. and honestly missiles are the dumbest way to deliver explosives. you could imitate asynchronous drone warfare using giant eagles. explosives are known even to orcs so it shouldn't be difficult for them to figure some fun shit out.

  • Be sure to be careful and thoughtful in your color palette though because if colors are important to the understanding of information then it should be accessible.

  • yeah i watched this show as kid with my dad and we both enjoyed it a lot (and i idolized Barney, although mostly his suits) but looking back theres so much sexual coercion and blatant lying for sex that idk if i could stomach the show nowadays

  • What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?

  • i love that this ended in both of you acknowledging how cool this info is and that you can both be right in different ways, and everyone learning something new.

  • I would like to know what native English speakers think of my writing?

    Jump

  • you have very legible and clean handwriting, but your proportions reduce legibility. all the letters do not have to be uniformly the same height, many need to be taller or shorter than others. if you look at the early writing books for children learning english you'll see that instead of there beibg one "tier" for the letters to sit on, there are actually two. Capital letters are twice as tall as most lowercase letters and the majority of a lowercase letter is still in the lower tier, but ascenders and descenders should be full height which helps make it a lot more distinct.

  • Thank you, it's a lot of work and I could get by with a lot less but I'd like to essentially have enterprise level everything for me to just fuck around with and provide to friends as i see fit. It's a bit if a hodgepodge of well implemented stuff stuck together with duct tape and bubblegum but im refining it slowly all the time.

  • I fr hate using AI to troubleshoot because I can feel how it makes me lazy, but sometimes using AI is better than banging my head against a wall for 10 hours. And usually i stop once I find a productive line of research or investigation to follow.

  • For local DNS i run FreeIPA since everything in my network is domain controlled. I'm gonna look into adding filtering through that, but we'll have to see how it goes.
