It’s the hormones in the water

I’ve had a bit of a tumble

I cannot, because it’s not something I track. It’s usually some site ive only ever visited that once, worked around their shit engineering, and moved on with my life. So it’s not that specific sites don’t work, it’s that ive had to use Chrome or edge 6 times this year.

I can’t remember a browser ever saying I needed chrome. Even Google Meet works fine…just functionality is reduced. A small price to pay for not giving Google the keys.

What browser do you use?

I’m getting a bit tired of website incompatibility with Firefox but when the alternative is Chrome, I’m sticking with FF.

Got a link? I’d love to get me one of those

That’s not how people made money. That’s what precipitated the crash. Shorting companies that were exposed would have been one route to make money - but as I said before, the smart piece there is in the timing not the mechanism. Shorting stock isnt difficult…Shorting it at the right time can be.

Judo is more focussed on throwing and grappling than it is on joint locks and holds, or “folding”.

The more you know.

I’ve got 2 rPis - a pi5 running Home Assistant and a pi4 with a USB drive caddy acting as little more than a NAS (it also does all the downloading through radarr etc… )

I find them perfectly adequate.

My gaming rig acts as my emby server as it’s basically on all the time and it has a beefy gfx card that can handle transcoding.

this quirkiness doesn’t materialise in real world applications on any scale that makes it harder to deal with than the alternatives.

Strike fear into your fellow man? Show those peasants that you are working hard to replace them entirely.

Okay sounds probably gonna get crucified for not reading this…but if the headline is true and combined with the fact that LLMs have been known to expose training data, this seems to introduce a non-zero chance that my personal emails are going to get shown to strangers…

Careful with views like that. They’re not very popular here on Lemmy. Can’t possibly promote responsible and reasonable use of new computer software.

AI bad.

We dont? You must not be from UK.

Fair, I did anticipate it not being a popular view here.

What do you think I’ll think of it in 5yrs?

Yeah fair, I just wish people didn’t try and suppress views they disagree with. It’s how we end up with shadow voters.

Downvotes because disagree. I thought this place was meant to be better than reddit.

Hard disagree.

1. Your hands are filthy regardless, you’re on your way IN to the bathroom so you very likely haven’t washed your hands but you’ve touched a LOT of things. Phones, keyboards, door handles, banisters etc. Pulling one more door open is not adding any meaningful contamination. If you are that concerned about one door handle, you should be VERY concerned about the state your hand is already in and thus would need to wash your hands before using the other facilities anyway.
2. You’re being overly paranoid. Your junk is not going to explode because it interacted with real world pathogens.

I know this isn’t going to be popular here, but I do really worry that people who take this approach will end up hamstringing their opportunities in life.

I agree that AI is over hyped, easily misused and being forced into things it’s not necessarily very helpful for…but that’s also what it was like when the internet came around.

I think people would be wise to familiarise themselves with the tools available if only to hedge their bets…you can’t find a software engineering job right now that doesn’t want experience with AI tools, and if it’s as successful as many think it will be - you will find most jobs will expect proficiency with AI in the same way they expect proficiency with computers.

It might go the other way and become irrelevant of course. But right now I dont think the majority of people are informed enough to know which way it will go and are thus just responding emotionally instead.

Interesting. And what was the how back then?
