I really hope Democrats are smart enough not to count their chickens before they hatch. Everyone remembers going to bed on election night 2020 2016 expecting to wake up to news that the U.S. would soon have its first female president, right?

I would donate a kidney to see this done as a serious, gritty film.

“Oh shit, the economy’s tanking!”
“What do we do?”

“Hello, New York Times? We need another criti-hype piece about AI. And this time we need absolutely everybody to invest more in AI, so make it a big one.”
This author does not understand sentences, they just add a comma and keep typing as if trying to smuggle another sentence in as part of the previous, they ought to use more periods.

God I hate it when an article sucks me in with a title about how LLMs are useless trash but then goes on to include shit like this:
I write this as a practitioner, not as a critic. After more than 10 years of professional dev work, I’ve spent the past 6 months integrating LLMs into my daily workflow across multiple projects. LLMs have made it possible for anyone with curiosity and ingenuity to bring their ideas to life quickly, and I really like that!
Maybe the author is trying to preach to the hoodwinked and avoid being summarily dismissed by the AI hype spreaders before they even start writing the article. But surely they’ve already sabotaged any chance at breaking through the brainwashing with the title.
If any of you ever write about how shit LLMs are, please please please don’t feel like you have to dedicate any portion of your article at all to granting them any charity. I assure you, they deserve absolutely none.


This comment is more about FOSS than about 3D printing, but if you’re interested in GPL violations, you should know about the court case SFC v. Vizio. If it goes the way the SFC is pushing (and the courts have made a surprising amount of noises suggesting they’re broadly sympathetic to SFC’s arguments), ordinary end users will have a lot more leverage to push companies to honor the terms of the GPL and provide source code as required by the GPL. Every manufacturer of smart TVs, smartphones, game consoles – hell even robot vacuum cleaners, cars, and sex toys – if they include GPL’d code in those TVs, they’re required to provide source code to users on demand. As it is now, companies can (and do) flagrantly violate the “source code provision” requirement in the GPL. But this case could change that.
Is there consensus on who would be best to migrate your “things” to? Maybe what do folks think of Printables?
I do more publishing than downloading. And I’m interested in one that’s in the spirit of FOSS. Friendly to permissive licenses. (Unfriendly to more proprietary licenses is a big plus IMO. I’m a fan of attribution and copyleft requirements. Noncommercial limitations, I’m relatively indifferent to.) Not enshittified and not likely to enshittify any time soon.
What was the part that didn’t fit?


Jesus. I guess we’re going to have to start figuring out how to reverse engineer our keyboards so we can install QMK on random built-in laptop keyboards and cheap Logitech membrane keyboards to repair the damage Microsoft has done to them.


Tacos, anyone?


Not sure I see the point of impeaching Noem when Trump is right there.

I don’t want my shell tab completing anything but filenames, thanks.


Right? I thought I was in /c/greentext@lemmy.ml for a minute.


There are games I pay for, but only on Nintendo consoles. Aside from that, it’s strictly write it myself or go without.
I definitely should donate to more FOSS projects, though.


Well damn. You’re right. The ones I’ve been releasing were all invasive ones. I didn’t think to check, but now I’ll have to revise my approach. Probably the freezer thing.


I’ve had some stink bugs too, and it seems like most of the means the internet recommends for dealing with them suck in some way (only some of them literally like what you resorted to).
But I guess I find that last option the least offensive.
There was one I dealt with differently, though. I dropped him into a spider web a spider had built over my kitchen sink. I like to think the spider was very appreciative.

I will never understand why an almost-entirely-text-with-a-few-images blog entry (that’s not even all that long) cannot scroll at a rate of even 1fps on a Raspberry Pi 4.


I use Lemuroid on Android. Works well. On F-Droid. Nothing about it has prompted me to search for alternatives, so no idea how it stacks up against other options.
Also, EasyRPG Player on Android for RPG Maker games. (I played the original Yume Nikki not terribly long ago via EasyRPG Player.) Also on F-Droid. Also worked great.


“Clown.” Some of my best friends do clowning as a hobby.
Oh. Jesus. Yeah, you’re right. -.-
