Unrelated, this is a good thing to hear, I have an old MacBook air 2012 lying around, a supported OS would be handy to make use of the hardware still being in excellent condition.

OmanMkII@aussie.zoneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•have you ever been given a warning or suspension for using profane language at work?8·9 months agoIt’s pretty common in Australia, so long as we’re not swearing at people nobody gives a fuck. I’d say unless your manager has mentioned it to you, it’s not a huge deal.
OmanMkII@aussie.zoneto Programming@programming.dev•Looking for a python friendly cloud-based notes app.2·9 months agoGoogle firebase would be the likely answer for serverless architecture, won’t pretend I know anything more to help than that sorry
OmanMkII@aussie.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•The AI sexbot industry is just getting started. It brings strange new questions – and risks.English21·9 months agoThat’s actually a really interesting part of AI I’d never considered to be a threat, thanks for sharing the link!
OmanMkII@aussie.zoneto Programming@programming.dev•Any recommendations/tips for mentorship services?2·9 months agoDepending on the country, your tax laws may also let you get the full cost of job related education and conferences back. I was lucky enough that my employment funded the bulk for me, but in Australia it’s a solid way to keep learning once you’re in the field you’re after.
OmanMkII@aussie.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•Three Mile Island nuclear plant set for restart on Microsoft AI power dealEnglish92·10 months agoEven with the radioactive waste material, in 20 years that will just be more fuel for fission reactors. Even taking into account the deaths from atomic bombs, the death rate from nuclear materials is a factor of a few hundred lower than coal power.
OmanMkII@aussie.zoneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do I alleviate bitterness due to lack of intimacy?191·11 months agoI think they mean to ask for honest feedback, it’s quite possible your lack of success is linked to the mindset you have. Expecting to fail us one of the most common reasons to fail, but knowing that success requires a lot of failure is a much healthier approach.
Have you you tried therapy to work through some of these issues? It’s helped me quite a lot
OmanMkII@aussie.zoneto Gaming@beehaw.org•Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of July 28th3·1 year agoYeah I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad game honestly, the worst it gets is when the bots spike again and people start raging
Yeah ps4 works a charm, the hard part for me was figuring out why an Xbox controller didn’t. Turns out some of the older models had deprecated Bluetooth that it couldn’t connect to, so went with a ps4 one instead.
That’s more or less my understanding, a nerd knows a lot of useless random facts, but a geek will tell them to you whether you asked or not.
OmanMkII@aussie.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•Americans wake to widespread cellular outages, cause unclearEnglish4·1 year agoSame in Australia, massive outages when Optus broke their shit a second time
OmanMkII@aussie.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicantsEnglish52·1 year agoI don’t really get why people are up in arms at this stuff. I hate the idea of doing these type of interviews, sure. But my grad program had 3k applications, 1k video interviews, 300 in person interviews, and only 100 actual roles. How the fuck else do they expect people to handle the sheer size of applications in management/HR roles?
OmanMkII@aussie.zoneto Android@lemmy.world•Can someone recommend a good pdf reader?English5·1 year agoI’m surprised nobody mentioned a browser, never thought to go beyond it. Any reason people have/prefer dedicated software aside from a browser?
OmanMkII@aussie.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI.English162·1 year agoI was curious if a
robots.txt
equivalent exists for AI training data, and there was some solid points here:If I go to your writing, I read it & learn from it. Your writing influences my future writing. We’ve been okay with this as long as it’s not a blatant forgery.
If a computer goes to your writing, it reads it & learns from it. Your writing influences its future writing. It seems we are not okay with this, even if it isn’t blatant forgery.
[AI at the moment is] different because the company is re-using your material to create a product they are going to sell. I’m not sure if I believe that is so different than a human employee doing the same thing.

I still think we should have the ability to opt out like we do with search engines and webcrawlers, but if the algorithm works ideally and learns but does not recycle content, is it truly any different from a factory of workers pumping out clones of popular series on Amazon? I honestly don’t know the answer to that.
OmanMkII@aussie.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI.English8·1 year agoI joined maybe 6 years ago, and there was a bit of shit talking and most posts had a troll answer hitting the most votes for some reason, but it was usually pretty good to scroll straight past and find some really insightful comments. There was a lot of good stuff around reddit, but slowly the absurb number of awards, NFT avatars, reposts, and ads every third post started to corrupt it. It was simple enough to switch to a third party app for quite a while, but the garbage slowly took over.
Even if they hadn’t pulled 3rd party apps, it was getting pretty close a point where it wasn’t worth scrolling past the bullshit.
OmanMkII@aussie.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•Google’s CEO faces employee questions about layoffs — “Why has there been such an extraordinary effort to limit the internal visibility of layoffs announcements?”English241·1 year agoWow that’s the whole article? I guess the TL;DR is “pay me to find out literally anything”
(Intel)[https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511/wireless.html) has a list of compatible cards and their drivers which may help, follow the instructions and reboot to run usually.
If it’s an adaptor there’s odds it’s not designed for it, I had issues with a USB mounted adaptor myself.

OmanMkII@aussie.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware.English1·2 years agoYou can use the inbuilt containers to separate cookies, which should allow you to use multiple accounts simultaneously. Profiles appears to be the direct equivalent to chromium profiles however and may function better but I haven’t used it yet.
I’m using a PS4 controller since my Xbox controllers are an older design that doesn’t use Bluetooth. With Steam mapping the controls across in everything from UI symbols to functionality, it works spectacularly.
