And apparently junior devs are clamoring to eavesdrop on how senior devs are prompting the LLM and that’s a problem. I can see the problem of being in an open office plan and having a ton of folks talking over another but the solution is just cubicles and not this face hugger microphone

People often forget compute is cheaper than dev hours and unless you’re operating at hyper scale, optimization is often not needed. Most are writing internal programs used by a few thousand people at most

UT2K4 and Quake 3 Arena were my favorite - shit, UT2K4’s linux support is part of what got my interested in Linux (that and not wanting to pay for windows)

Shit, I set up my agents to only run in a sandboxed workspace, only suggest edits via merge requests that have to be manually approved by an actual person, and only connects to copies of databases. And that’s just for my personal projects on my home server. Anyone not taking similar steps in a professional setting should be fired immediately

Have you used a portable AC made in the last decade? They’re quiet / on par with central AC these days. I have a Midea one and unless it’s on full-blast, it’s hardly noticeable beyond the sound of air moving

Has a balcony; $200 is too much…

Edison Motors!

Lawnchair?

Yeah I’m a pop fan but as exciting as COSMIC is, it’s still just not ready. The Gnome version with the cosmic gnome-shell extensions is much better.

Desktop: Pop!_OS 24.04 (thinking of rolling back to Gnome as cosmic is too rough around the edges still)

Servers: Ubuntu Server 24.04.4

Containers: Debian Trixie or specific images for the project I’m working on

Funnily enough one of the first genai-type projects I ever stumbled across, Anonymouth, was intended for exactly this

Deleting cats can be illegal depending on state but trust me there are plenty of legal, loud exhausts

This Apple TV deal has me fucking pissed - I just want a nice little Sky Sports torrent within a few hours of the race, is that too much to ask?

Me, I do - but I also don’t think we should switch back and forth; just keep DST. Who the fuck cares if it’s dark at 5:30am, we are meant to be asleep at that time

When Ieet other Linux folks in person, they’re great. Online though …

Check out MangoJelly on YouTube. The guy has hundreds of tutorials for FreeCAD and they’re great

Is Epoch1 considered post beta? None-the-less, it’s an early release of a pretty aspirational DE. Give it a year or two and check back for something stable

Cosmic is still beta but I’m excited for it none-the-less as I use Gnome with all the cosmic extensions today. I just find that KDE feels dated and limited and Cosmics ease of customizability is very appealing

Mint, (?)ubuntu, and Pop!_OS are what I suggest because 1) most software install guides target these distros. Anything that uses a package manager other than apt means extra googling and pain for those who just want an OS that works and could care less about the miniscule advantages of one over another 2) stable releases and driver support and 3) similar UI to whatever they’re coming over from. Someone else ITT mentioned KDE for Windows and Gnome(or Cosmic once it’s stable) for Mac folk and I think that tracks well

Not really- while yes it includes poor southeast CO farmers and that’s who the veto impacts, it also includes Douglas county which is where most of her constituents are. Her new district has the highest median income in CO because of the DougCo folks. What’s interesting is the school board election in DougCo this last round, makes it seem like the tides are turning even in places like Lone Tree and Castle Rock
