Am a developer, please do not pay for any software subscription if you don’t think it’s worth it.

Us devs would love to give the best experience, but if the customer is willing to pay for a shit experience, guess which path management makes you take.

Hey, we left cause of the enshitification of Reddit itself, toxicity of the users was always part of the package deal.

Two wrongs don’t make a right, but sometimes in programming, two bugs can cancel each other out.

Whoever wrote this is more than capable of using it incorrectly.

Hi! It’s me, the guy you discussed this with the other day! The guy that said Lemmy is full of AI wet blankets.

Omg you found me in another post. I’m not even mad; I do like how passionate you are about things.

Since there isn’t any room for nuance on the Internet, my comment seemed to ruffle feathers. There are definitely some folks out there that act like ALL AI is worthless and LLMs specifically have no value. I provided a list of use cases that I use pretty frequently where it can add value. (Then folks started picking it apart with strawmen).

What you’re talking about is polarization and yeah, it’s a big issue.

This is a good example, I never did any strawman nor disagree with the fact that it can be useful in some shape or form. I was trying to say its value is much much lower than what people claim to be.

But that’s the issue with polarization, me saying there is much less value can be interpreted as absolute zero, and I apologize for contributing to the polarization.

And then people will complain about that saying it’s almost all hype and no substance.

Then that one tech bro will keep insisting that lemmy is being unfair to AI and there are so many good use cases.

No one is denying the 10% use cases, we just don’t think it’s special or needs extra attention since those use cases already had other possible algorithmic solutions.

Tech bros need to realize, even if there are some use cases for AI, there has not been any revolution, stop trying to make it happen and enjoy your new slightly better tool in silence.

Best part is the noise it makes when the fans finally shut down, it is finally at peace.

I mean, we have no laws about os support.

Imo a very common sense one is to make any software too old to maintain just open source.

Ownership in software should be based on who is willing and capable of maintaining it.

I see some Cerberus in there.

As a software dev, you are my hero!

What your experiencing is a kind of social decay due to people being squeeze more and more, and not just economically.

This isn’t specific to tech though, if there was no tech, they would just find other ways to make life harder.

This is just the journey we’ve been on since the Industrial Revolution where the market decides what our new environment is for the sake of profit.

The good news is that it’s a journey of ups and downs, so it could stop being dystopian soon.

Of course not, the whole point of disinformation is that it sounds correct, that’s AI’s bread and butter!

What a terrible choice for a photo op.

If (hopefully) he loses, this image would still be out there, perfect for meme material.

I only serf Amazon on private without being logging in, if I find something I like, then I copy the link to my regular browser.

If you’re not gonna give a lurker a good price, I’m not interested.

Imo the most iconic and representative of the best place for steam deck is while traveling.

8 hour flight? Do I have my deck?

On right wing social media, there was tons of posts about this but nothing about the robo taxis.

It’s kind of like know your audience. Right wing people would love to praise Musk, left wing people don’t (for good reason imo).

I’m actually proud of lemmy cause I saw multiple posts for the rocket (as in, it seems to try to cover everything) and many people in the comment pointed out that a lot of great engineers worked on this and this is a human achievement.

I thought that was the whole point of buying Twitter…

I think the next couple jumps were very good too.

Ps1 was just polygons, you could see all the edges and the games were not complex.

Then ps2 happened, now you get games like gta 3 and gran turismo. San Andreas was one of the longest and most in depth games in terms of all the mini games inside.

After that, came imo the peak of game graphics. Sure, some today might be technically better, but at the time, Crysis on very good hardware looked almost indistinguishable from reality. I remember seeing some highly detailed renders of people’s faces and thinking how it was just like real life.

After Crysis, there wasn’t really any other “big jump” unless you count the hard drive space requirements.

Having said that, bf3 and red dead 2 felt like milestones.

Parties and drunk kids happen all year around.

I just chose the obvious example.

As a morning person, I don’t want more people waking up early, it’s my peaceful time and I want to keep it that way.

I wish night owls respected my sleep time during holidays instead of making explosions at night cause of reasons (fireworks).

But then there wouldn’t be much left, unfortunately.
