riscv is the future.

Signal is fine for almost everyone unless you’re truly doing dangerous work in a truly oppressive state.

I’m so tired of everyone telling others not to use signal because it uses phone numbers. Everyone in here acting like they’re mr. Robot or something.

Anonymity is not the same as privacy. Privacy is good enough for me

New text to speech models are incredible these days…

Again, we shouldnt replace actual voice actors for main dialog. But for generating thousands of lines of background chatter (which nobody would have time or resources to make anyway) LLM writing paired with text to speech could really help flesh out a living game world

I dont think LLMs will or should replace properly written dialogue.

Where they would shine is just generating inane background chatter. So instead of hearing an NPC say “i took an arrow to the knee”, or “jesus christ be praised! Henry’s come to see us!” 300 times, an LLM could generate some short one liners that are a bit more dynamic. It would go a long way to making the world feel more alive.

Newer versions of apt now have coloured text showing what will be installed (green) and what will be REMOVED (red)

Handy feature for someone like me who also makes mistakes

Not excusing the behaviour but I’d bet it’s the amount of traffic people often sit through directly contribute to

You’re not stuck in traffic… You are the traffic

The continental rubber on adidas shoes lasts forever…

The rubber on their top end shoes like takumi sen and pro 3 is only 1-2mm thick but i’ve hit 800-900km in them

Also i’m a pretty light person so i dont wear out the foam much

Where’s dave chappelle in all of this? Isnt this in his backyard? Isnt he a trump supporter now?

AI is fine if you know what you’re doing and can correct the mistakes it makes (i.e. use it as fancy code completion)

I’m not a developer and i havent touched code for over 10 yrs, but when i heard about my company pushing AI tools on the devs, i thought exactly what you said. It should be a tool for experienced devs who already know what they’re doing…

Lo and behold they did the opposite… They fired all the senior people and pushed AI on the interns and new grads… and then expected AI to suddenly make the jr devs work like the expensive Sr devs they just fired…

Wtf

I have a lot more money to buy shit ever since i rid myself of that money pit we call a car…

Doesnt mean it’s dead. Some projects are in maintenance mode

How many new features does a bible need???

AndBible updated 2 months ago for me on f-droid

The github doesnt look dead to me

Yes. Mounted network drives.

I think a lot of the shutdown hang problems went away when i switched to systemd automount

These things are programmed by impatient, wreckless, human, drivers…

I cant believe they allow these things on our roads as a public beta test.

Neutral, non-american here… And i do believe that trump needs to be defeated but…

Why is it when republicans raise millions people say “politics is corrupted by money!!”

But when the dems rake in $300M its framed as a good thing?

Just dont connect it to the internet.

That’s what i do with my OLED screen. It acts as a monitor for my HTPC. I dont use any of the apps on the TV

There is a good statistically proven reason why so much money flows into it.

Too many smug people think, “advertising doesnt work on me! Hah! Only weak minded normies fall for it…”

Wrong… Advertising works. And that’s the reason a shit ton of money that goes into it.

You want to know the reason why i run adblockers in my browser AND DNS levels? Because i KNOW advertising works on me… i KNOW i’m not smart enough to outsmart the army of engineers, and copywriters generating this stuff.

Source: i work in advertising lol

I’ve bought and paid for every civ game since civ3…

I even paid for civ4 twice. Boxed CD and on steam… And now you’re going to treat me like a criminal with shitty DRM??? Welp, i guess i’m not buying Civ7, Sid…

No more turns…

I assume moderating the reviews would be a significant challenge for the project.

Are google maps reviews even moderated? I’ve found them to be complete trash for years now

Just bots and influencers giving 5 or 1 star reviews for everything

Whats the noise level if the car is driving at a reasonable speed in the city?

I imagine it’s only excessively noisy if they are showing off, revving the engine, and/or streeet racing
