  • How many have found practical uses for large language text models in your real life?
    • Coding (four different apps I would have not been able to complete by myself).
    • Choosing color pallettes for UX design
    • Numerous little utility scripts for work (Poweshell, SQL)
    • Tabletop RPG prep (NPCs, locations, loot, factions, scenarios)
  • Is anyone else highly concerned with the SCOTUS ruling that the POTUS is immune from criminal liability?
  • I appreciate the counterpoint and hope it means something. The polls show Biden trailing Trump by an uncomfortable margin. Not that I put much faith in polls anymore.

  • Is anyone else highly concerned with the SCOTUS ruling that the POTUS is immune from criminal liability?
  • The working class folks on the right have a lot more in common with the working class folks on the left than they realize or will admit to themselves. They see "liberals" as both the enemy and the source of all their problems. Trump and the Republicans could dismantle Social Security and Medicare and every social program that exists, causing tremendous harm to working class people on both sides...and Trump's cult followers would still blame the left for it. They consistently vote against their own interests and fail to acknowledge facts or truth. If that's not stupidity, I don't know what stupidity means.

  • Is there a way to hide posts that take you to another site?
  • This might be your client app, maybe...? On Jerboa, tapping a post takes me to the lemmy comments first. Opening the link is a second deliberate tap.

  • We're completely fucked. The cult of 45 has a superpower few people understand: bottomless stupidity. It's more frightening than it sounds. They will destroy themselves for their orange god, and take the rest of us with them. They have nothing to lose, and their only desire is for their dictator to "make the libruls cry".

    And as usual, the leaders of the Democrats are bringing educational pamphlets to a gun fight.

  • John Deere lays off hundreds of employees, after a $10B profit year
  • Payback wasn't the point, I was just providing some context. John Deere sucks for multiple reasons.

  • Most people know this recent history, but in case you missed it:

  • People in San Francisco Are Mad That a New App Lets You Spy on Bars to See How Busy They Are
  • I like being able to check how busy a place is, but not like this. Simple head count or an average wait time is good. Using web cams is creepy overkill. Typical tech bro invasive shit.

  • You're at the local bar and it's karaoke night! What are you singing first?
  • Horse With No Name. Has a limited vocal range, and the humans will give no love.

  • I swear it slows down when it knows I'm in a rush.
  • We joke / complain about this all the time at work. Boss puts in some drop-everything emergency ticket.

    Windows Update: Imma let you finish, but first I gotta do some work 'round here.

  • CNN Presidential Debate: President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump
  • If Biden gets re-elected, and behind the scenes it's really Kamala Harris and/or Jill Biden in charge.... I'm OK with that. Trump will accelerate all the bad things. From climate change to hollowing out the working class to kissing Putin's ass and worse.

  • Online geography course recommendations?
  • Thanks! I will see what they have. Didn't know Harvard offered free courses.

  • Why don't you...
  • Let other people enjoy things.

  • What did people do before smartphones to pass the time when you were bored?
  • Some tropes of the 80s and 90s: Teenagers ignoring their family while listening to a Walkman. Dads reading the newspaper and ignoring their family. Moms talking on the landline phone with friends and neighhbors. Nerds reading comic books. Dads playing golf. Mom shopping. Teens just "hanging out" at some random place like a parking lot, near a lake, under a bridge, behind the band hall, etc. Smoking. Crossword puzzles. Jigsaw puzzles. Cards.

  • Where do you carry your stuff?
  • If it's good enough for Chewbacca, who am I to argue?

  • Where do you carry your stuff?
  • Two laptops? Is one for work? I have to carry two phones, unfortunately. Work and personal.

  • Where do you carry your stuff?
  • Interesting, never heard of runner belts. Makes sense that they would sell something like that. Runners need to carry stuff, too. Thanks for mentioning it.

  • www.neowin.net Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission

    Microsoft quietly changed how folder backup works in the OneDrive app on Windows 11. Now, the OS enables it by default during the initial setup without asking the user for permission.

    Online geography course recommendations?

    Looking for something engaging and interactive (preferably free, but I don't mind paying a reasonable price). Thanks for your suggestions!
