Arch, btw

It was the distro that my friend uses all the time, and I’ve had to use his laptop on occasion so I’m somewhat familiar with the distro, enough so that I’ve installed it on persistent USBs before and already chosen it as my next OS after Windows (I would switch now, but I rode Windows 7 till the end date, so I figured I’d ride out 10 until the final day this October)

Also! Gender fluid hello!! It made me so insanely happy to see that flag in the Linux terminal, I feel so seen!! It feels like trans girls hog all the Linux spotlight this side of the fediverse, I’m happy for them! But I still don’t feel like I have a proper community where I belong, especially since I stay off of all other mainstream social media >.<

So seeing another enby, another gender fluid especially, for the literal first time since I made my lemmy account just makes me so ecstatic!! We’re so rare x3

Anyways, thank u for existing and simply posting this, seeing another makes me feel seen and I can’t really express enough how unreasonably happy something so small just made me c:

Thank you! And I should sleep so good night also lol

Honestly moving to clangd has got to be the single best thing I’ve done in C++, it’s cross platform and I’ve found it to be significantly faster, more reliable, and more featureful than Microsoft’s C++ plugin by a long shot

Absolutely ethereal and immersive! I love this

These look kinda like glasses buried in the sand

The fact that I can’t choose one of the many AIs I have locally downloaded on my computer is bogus

I don’t live in a society that profits from my self doubt, I live in a society that profits from making everything more expensive every year

The embed on my client only gave me the middle 2 panels for context and honestly still funny

Welcome, gentlemen, to Aperture Science!

Everybody gangsta still we invent hardware accelerated JSON parsing

I can see the utility, but there should be at least some critical operability in case the phone or app doesn’t work for whatever reason, to help avoid injuries like these

AI: “This code will create a memory leak and potentially crash the users operating system”

Me: “Nuh-uh”

AI: “Correct”

Exactly, nobody’s gonna wanna pay $20-$80 per month if they can just run an open source version for free

Classic proprietary L, ironically enough for "Open"AI

This article isn’t saying that AI is a fad or otherwise not taking off, it absolutely is, but it’s also absolutely taking too much money to run

And if these AI companies aren’t capable of turning a profit on this technology and consumers aren’t able to run these technologies themselves, then these technologies may very well just fall out of the public stage and back into computer science research papers, despite how versatile the tech may be

What good is a ginie if you can’t get the lamp?

Honestly I wanna see the crazy logistics of using rocket fule, since it’s just liquid oxygen and hydrogen with a water byproduct

I don’t understand why I get zero choice

Absolutely agree, I use to get excited for new updates to anything, cuz like “yay new things” or “old things but less buggy”

But recently I’ve been absolutely sulking over the modern software updating paradigm of shipping perfectly fine updates with completely useless UI changes that absolutely nobody wanted so tech companies can justify having an in-house UI team

Like my phone, on Android 11 I set the custom color to a really nice red color, i matched it to my wallpaper and everything, I loved it

And then Android 12 hits, and that lovely red gets replaced with some bologna enthusiast’s spamcore aesthetic

I’m sorry, Material “You”?. Nah this is Material Somebody Else fr

And I can’t do anything to change the colors of my own phone

I hate being a slave to UI teams, let me change the colors atleast, damnit

I am so close to just rooting my phone ngl

That’s cursed

Yeah the 3 day no poop guy is so far the only large Lemmy specific meme I’ve seen so far

They don’t choose what they need to hide, if their government outlaws woodworking tomorrow, then any carpenters today go from “having nothing to hide” to “I need to hide my entire career and hobby” overnight and in their sleep.

And then the government threatens Facebook to hand over messages from any user suspected of woodworking, and then they get persecuted and arrested

The government threatens Google to hand over all browser history from suspected woodworkers, Apple for all iCloud photos from suspected woodworkers, Amazon for all woodworking related purchases

It goes on

If the carpenter cared about privacy from the start, then the government just wouldn’t be able to find them and arrest them for simply woodworking

But the carpenter didn’t care about privacy, they “had nothing to hide” yesterday, so when that law goes into effect tomorrow the government will have a really easy time finding them
