Holy shit. What even happened yesterday that so many companies’ stock is crashing? Quarterly reports?

Trying to get a < 6inch smartphone is almost impossible by now, and me and my stubbly fucking Fingers arent happy about it

There actually is

Agreed, I cut contact with my dad because he’s a narcissistic, bipolar asshole that refuses to get any therapy because “he’s the only normal one around here”. Well, except for the 10 Sessions of court mandated Anti-aggression therapy, where he actually got into an argument with his therapist because he said that he’s feeling fine, and therefore shouldnt have to change.

Sure, your wife and son left within a few months, and it’s everyone else’s fault.

Honestly I’m leaning more and more towards advocating for people to use AI responsibly instead of outright rejecting it.

Yes the environmental impact is insane, but I feel like that’s mostly because they keep pushing it to do more and more. But I think we’re well past the sweet spot of what work AI should take off our shoulders. Remove too much and you end up with Meat Proxies.

Tho that only applies to things where only the result matters, like code. Pragmatic stuff, that’s there to serve a specific purpose.

Art is the exact opposite. The process matters, the struggles, the successes, the setbacks. It’s a thing of passion, and that can never be truly replaced by a machine.

Afaik thats also Linux Torvalds stance. It’s a tool, and it cannot be held responsible, that’s always on you

Honestly, I think it can be helpful for beginners if used in moderation.

I’m a complete beginner with programming, and yesterday was working on my home assistant to control both my AC and Radiator simultaneously. But I couldn’t get it to work, with the special climate entity always crashing. After i think 2 hours, I asked Gemini what was wrong, and it pointed out that I didn’t have a fallback value and that when starting up, the values were invalid, and caused the entity to crash. After I added a fallback, it worked.

I think AI can be useful if you treat it like asking someone more experienced like a teacher. It will make mistakes, but if you’re stuck it might be able to help you. I’m still writing my code myself, but I use Gemini as a last resort when I’ve spend over an hour on a problem and can’t figure it out myself.

Not that that applies to Linus, but I thought I’d also add some context from a beginner

Did musk ever manage to get grok to agree with him? I remember it being lobotomized like 5 times when it launched, but haven’t heard a lot about it since then

Honestly ads might be preferable to me over Spotify Homepage

Its kinda ironic that I actually use Linux, make projects with my soldering iron and self host lmao. I’ve switched to lemmy only a week ago, so I didn’t know about that

At least in Austria most nationwide stations have a web player and app so you don’t need a FM receiver

Not good, but I can put on a radio station that plays somewhat decent music. And I assume Spotify Homepage plays about the same shit as the basic radio stations, and I’d rather listen to someone drag a fork over a blackboard than that shit

I honestly don’t get why someone like that doesn’t just listen to radio and saves on the subscription cost
