I tried watching what was supposed to be a video comparing several linux distros. Instead, it was AI text to speech narrating over random images. Are people uploading this crap in an attempt to get a share of ad revenue, or just to be awful? I have to hope Youtube doesn’t let this be fully automated, so people are doing this on purpose…

47·8 days agoYou know it’s going to be successful when they go back to using antiquated productivity measurements like measuring based on lines of code in a time frame. We all know AI is fucking spectacular at generating overly verbose code.

15·16 days agoWaterfox is on the same page. As long as the browser doesn’t outright require it to functio0n, I think the privacy-focused forks will remain. Of course, it’s extra work to maintain divergent code, but this is worth it, IMO.

Technology@lemmy.world•HDD prices spike as AI infrastructure and China's PC push collide — hard drives record biggest price increase in eight quarters, suppliers warn pressure will continueEnglish
1·17 days agoMy ten year old former Win10 gaming PC was recently reborn as a CachyOS Linux gaming PC, and I just finished playing through Clair Obscur on it. I did have to upgrade the video card, but I got the RTX 5050, well within your “second best” range target, since it’s technically their budget level card.

6·24 days agoI tried the PWA route with Discord. It wouldn’t stay logged in, and acted generally janky. That said, I do PWA with any app that’s Electron, at least to try and avoid the RAM bloat.

37·1 month agoThe what?
Must be nice to have preventative MRI’s as an option, vs. having to quadruple justify a medically necessary MRI to the insurance bureaucracy, have it be rejected twice for no reason other than their greed, and then finally pushed through after your doctor lays into the penny pinchers to tell them to STFU and get out of the way.

35·2 months agoHeh, there goes Librewolf’s only sane updating mechanism. IIRC, the devs of that are vehemently against paying Apple the money to sign the code, and they also fail to provide their own updater. It was one of the main drivers behind my switch to Waterfox.





Man, been there. It’s a dichotomy of their provisioning platform being antiquated, but their security requirements not giving a shit about that.
