To me it's glorified autocomplete. I see LLM as a potencial way of drastically lowering barrier of entry to coding. But I'm at a skill level that coercing a chatbot into writing code is a hiderance. What I need is good documentation and good IDE statical analysis.

I'm still waiting on a good, IDE integrated, local model that would be capable of more that autompleting a line of code. I want it to generate the boiler plate parts of code and get out of my way of solving problems.

What I don't want, is a fucking chatbot.

C:\repos or ~/repos

I develop and test only on firefox

They can prohibit whatever they want, but how enforceable is it? Does Nvidia intend to play whack a mole by checking for translation layers?

Why use an app when there's a web site? In case of Wikipedia I fail to see any functional benefit for an app.

And then we have Chat control V2…

So there is a thing I kind of pirate, but not entirely – e-books.

But thing is, our public library page has e-books and some of them are available to be read online. Now I cannot officially download them, however opening a network tab on browser console shows me a request to download the whole .epub file. So what I do is copy that request as curl and just download it via terminal.

Is it piracy, probably, is this resource publicly available for me to read, definetly yes.

Other than that I don't really pirate much else.

TL; DR
My experience between Windows and Linux is not much different with how often I have issues. But given the choice I much more prefer my Linux experience.

I hate Windows just as much as the next guy, but this comment section smells a little of confirmation bias.

From my experiece (web dev in a mainly MS branded stack) Windows mostly just works. Yes there are horrendous design, UX choices forced upon me, but I can usually force the OS to do what I need and how I need it.

Now comparing it to my home Pop setup it also mostly just works. There are occasional freezes that require a restart and such, but I wouldn't say it's much more different from Windows.

Now what does differ a lot is that I don't need to fight the OS to do shit. It's way better productivitywise, when I know what I'm doing. Which is deffinetly not the case everytime.

Snapchat has a web client? :o

Assuming other implications (existence of an afterlife and God) with this scenario I would have but one question. Why? Why everything? Honestly I would be mad furious if there was an afterlife. More so if there was a God.

Good, they even compiled a list of sources.

Now, acually…

Monitors – hell yes! RGB – can't stand it. My keyborad has a plain white backlight and that's it. It's purely functional.

The outlined issues don't seem to be lemmy exclusive, but then again, I've spent quite a short time here.

The toxicity is caused by the society, not by the platform. From my experience, one can always find a more toxic subreddit.

Reddit is just as much moderated by volunteers, that's the reason I started using reddit. Also, having corporate admins doesn't make the platform any more spam resistant.

If anything I would expect these problems to be more prevalent in smaller (lemmy) platforms and stabilize with growth to reddits level.

Now I'm not trying to defend lemmy, but being even more community driven I want it to succeed and become what reddit used to be.

I'm the kind of user that cares about function over form, so everything in Windows 11 just annoyed me. Mainly because it was just changes in design that required me to reorient and to learn to use again with no good reason.
I still use Windows at work just because our whole dev stack is on Windows. And every new design change just gets in my way. An OS should enable me do the things that I need and want, it should move out of my way. Sure I've added some hacks to restore the functionality I was used to. But the fact that I need to fight the OS to bring back context menus annoys me to no end.

Also, as a dev, I find many things easier done on Linux that Windows, mainly because it just has a better CLI support. It's not as bad now with Windows terminal, winget and other improvements (dotnet having a proper CLI interface), however I still mostly use git-bash for common stuff like searching the file system. Not to mention that for something like docker I basically just need WSL.

Where does staying awake by willpower fall?

uBlock usually blocks those cookie pop-us for me, didn't really noticed them.

These anti-linux woke ass companies arranging things in squares. Back in my day you'd get a vertical list and be happy if it's ordered.

Slap Google SSO on that and you're good. Honestly that's worse than regular registration.

Whatever is the default, as long as that is not some comic sans or whatever that Samsung font abomination was.

You're overthinking it…

I just don't like Star Wars and I like sci-fi in general. But Star Wars is just one of those stories I can't make myself to like.

I remember fondly the prequels with pod racing and that red black guy with double lightsaber. I wached those movies as a child.

Later I tried watching all of them and I could not bring myself to finish even one. The dated effects (good for their time) just took me out of the story way too much.

I also tried waching the new ones, but they just felt boring so I dropped them.

I don't know what is it about Star Wars, but I just can't bring myself to like them even with nostalgia by my side.

The economic system is broken. It incentivises infinite growth in a finite environment. That's just not sustainable and will backfire in one way or another.

What we need as a civilization is a shift in economic values that would push for a more sustainable model. That shift can be seen, but, in my (expert /s) opinion, it's too little and too late to completely avoid a disaster.

Not on mobile but on desktop Firefox Multi-Account Containers paired with Temporary Containers is a funcking godsend. Especially so when I'm doing web dev work.
Other that that uBlock is pretty high on the list as usuall.

That's how language works. You could say that a similar thing happened to the suffix -core. Where originally it was ment to be used with one word – a certain musical genre. Now, however, I can append it to anything and it means just a general esthetic.

As for rougelike, it no longer means a game that's like Rouge. It means a game where you losing means starting over, where playing more doesn't necessarily mean the game gets easier due to accumulated XP, wealth, gear or whatevet other mechanic.

Dunno never saw the appeal anyway

2 monitors plus laptop. One is mainly used for IDE and git, other one for anything else that's relevant: browser, Jira, notes, second editor to reference stuff. Laptop screen is to the side and mainly used for chats.

Wouldn't mind a third big screen, often notes, DB, RDC or brower have to be juggled around.

Whatever gets the job done 🤷‍♂️

Bold of you to assume we have credit cards

5th of June or June 5th, both are valid. However numeric date format has little to do with how it's said. yyyy-MM-dd (and seperator variants) has the benefit of being orderable and indexable chronologically.

It's cool and all, but this feels more like a toy than a tool. I can make dead simple web site in minutes with current stack. Nothing, but plain static pages.

Heck, if I looked for it, I bet I could set up markdown to HTML converter as this is already a widely used functionality throughout the web.

Maybe Go, haven't messed with it at all and it looks interesting enough to try. Other than that I could do C#, since that's where I have most experience. Maybe node.js if I would want to suffer a bit.

Good to know, actually

Oof… My language doesn't differentiate between types of envy, we have one word. So I cannot even translate this.

In IT context local is a well establised term. It's either hosted locally, i. e. on machine running the browser or not. A datacenter or cloud are remote machines also by the same well established definition.

I've been using Kobo Libra 2 for more than a year now. It's good for me as I mostly read books. It's black and white and has adjustable (intensity and temperature) backlight. One thing I'd recomend – get a case as well. The screen is rather soft and scraches easily.

Other than that I can't recomend much else since I haven't had anything else. It'll depend very much on your use case: do you need a collored screen, what do you intend to read, comics, PDFs, regular books.

Reading regular books screen size does not matter as much as for PDFs and comics. And for comics colored screen might be a better choise.

My general recomendation: an adjustable backlight is a must, both intensity and temperature, deside on a size and color requirements and start looking for something in your price range. Kobo and Onyx were the brands I looked at first, but there are others.

Ok, offline functionality does make sense

Which part is gullible?
That current Russian regime won't stop? It's not like it would be a first time for them to invade another country.
Or did you mean NATO involvement? Who knows… I'd like to believe that they would involve, but I'm not guaranteed.

To defend myself, I'm not a native speaker and we only have a single word for both conceps. So to me these are synonyms because my language doesn't differentiate between the two.

Even after looking up some definitions they pretty synonymous to me.
