LLMs are actually just massively improved spell checks. If you’ve used an IDE with in line error detection, technically that’s AI now.

I do wish we’ve drawn the line more clearly on what “AI” usage means in terms of “this game was made with AI”

That’s cool.

Proton drive Linux support when?

Oh man, Teams +Outlook + Office 365 + onedrive +Copilot?

So good for office shit. So bad for hood practices.

“Hey copilot I’m pretty sure I got an email asking if I had an SOP on X. Can you find that email and the SOP?”

“Copilot, using the recording of the teams meeting ‘Training from Vendor X’ and my notes on ‘Tool Y’ can you compile that into a FAQ sheet for us?”

Sure it misses stuff and is only so good because none of the data is private, but man that’s 90% of my work load for SOP making. Worth the $400 a year corporate pays for it.

We don’t generally fuck cloacas…

Have you ever…

Why do those trees have cloacas

Do you fear technology

Oh yes! Greatly!

Windows

Ah, a different kind of fear was meant…

A 4060ti has been out long enough that you’re fine with basically any main stream distro.

I think even the 50 series is fine now with most mainstream distros as well.

I still prefer arch based distros now for Nvidia cards and honestly, Fedora is great!

Folks reading way too much into this lol.

reads too much into it

The joke is they died!

I never even bothered with multiplayer except to play with friends from time to time.

Building my own Corvette has been super fun even though I lack vision and am stupid.

And then I took my fighter out just to remember what it was like AND THEN I GET PULLED INTO A PIRATE DREADNAUGHT FIGHT!

That was so fucking cool. Game is good.

Dell Optiplex 3050

Lenovo m720

HP whatever with a 7th gen Intel

All can be had for $50 ish

A Microsoft glazing botnet leveraging copilot and all of r/linuxsucks training data to shitpost on Lemmy made by a developer who took a Janatorial job at Microsoft to “get his foot in the door” during an internal hackathon he was accidentally invited to.

My Comrade in Lenin, I was on Bazzite

I fucking ran out of memory yesterday playing Oblivion Remastered with 5 Firefox tabs open.

32GB ddr4 3600 kit!

I’m fucking upgrading next week!

Funny domain names for hosting code is why godaddy exists.

I’m excited to submit my future CS assignments with

I’ve been thinking about swapping my work laptop to Linux too.

The difference is I’m in IT and I know what all things I need to put on my computer to make it compliant with all our policies and all the software I need to do my job.

I’ve been experimenting by running some Linux VMs with all the EDR, patching, and logging software we need. But by the time I’m doing all that, there’s really no point in using Linux except for the CLI which WSL has been great for that.

Not from lack of trying. I think it might have happened if flash player hadn’t died

I figured it was just a skill issue on my end that Spotify wasn’t working, but I really should be just buying CDs/digital albums as opposed to paying the Spotify subscription

I’m a week into using GrapheneOS and its been great. It is a little restrictive in that I seem to have to explicitly allow apps to run and apps like my Bank app or Spotify don’t work.

However, most apps are just Web Apps at this point and I’ve noticed very little difference in the use of the app versus the pinned browser version.

I’m also trying to curb a phone addiction so Graphene + Lemmy + Mastodon + Jellyfin is all I’m using on this thing.

I assume google headphones would cease to work if I degoogle the device

I’m using my Pixel Buds. They work just as well. Remember, its just a Bluetooth device just without all the QOL stuff like voice control.

I recommend trying it. Graphene OS install also has instruction ions to revert if you change your mind. And it’s pretty easy. Maybe a touch harder than installing Linux generally, but if your dailying Debian, you’re fine.

I am a fan of LLMs and what they can do, and as such have a server specifically for running AI models. However, I’ve been reading “Atlas of AI” by Kate Crawford and you’re right. So much of the data that they’re trained on is inherently harmful or was taken without consent. Even in the more ethical data sets it’s probably not great considering the sheer quantity of data needed to make even a simple LLM.

I still like using it for simple code generation (this is just a hobby to me so Vibe coding isn’t a problem in my scenario) and corporate tone policing. And I tell people non stop that it’s worthless outside of these use cases and maybe as a search engine, but I recommend Wikipedia as a better start almost Everytime.
