Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How many daily drivable desktop operating system( familie)s are there?English
5·1 day agoTechnically, Alpine Linux is Linux, sans GNU. Perhaps it can be called musl/Linux or busybox/Linux.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What fictional animal do you think would be the most delicious?
12·6 days agoMooshroom is the only one I can think of right know, I think their meat would taste like standard cow meat but embedded with mushroom flavor or something like that.
Oh! Also could SCP-999 taste good? It’s like a blob of orange jello from what I recall. I wouldn’t want to eat it but it would probably taste good.

You can’t just say “perchance”.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•For those who's country's national language is **NOT** English, how fluent is your English compared to your country's language?
5·14 days agoLike nearly as fluent except when I get lazy and stop thinking of “fancy” words to write. English has a lot of fancy words: vocabulary synonymous to other elements of the lexicon. I don’t know those types of words in Portuguese lol.
I can understand movies fine but prefer captions regardless of the language being spoken unless I am in a very quiet room.
I’m brazilian and my family thinks I am really smart for knowing another language but really I just watched YouTube when i was a kid so uh yeah I’m not sure how fluent I actually am since I’ve only met other second language speakers.
Gen Y are Millennials

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•For that modern web feelingEnglish
9·18 days agoperhaps i too will post code on the internet
here is a shell script i wrote for automating filenames for markdown files (blog posts):
code
#!/bin/sh set -e datecmd="date +%Y-%m-%d" if [ -z "$1" ]; then printf "Post title: " >&2 read -r title else title="$1" fi file="$($datecmd)_$title.md" if [ -f "$file" ]; then printf "Error: post '$file' already exists.\n" >&2 exit 1 fi ${EDITOR:-nano} "$file"im not sure why i made it since i could just look at what date it is and write it down manually in the file name, but i felt like doing that as a quick hack

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Cartoon physics is now in effect. What are you going to try?English
11·23 days agoDraw a tunnel or a door on a wall and see where it leads. Perhaps into the room on the other side, maybe into a pocket dimension.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your thoughts on the mass implementation of AI?
41·25 days agoThe only decent use of LLMs I have seen is a bot on Mastodon that generates alt-text automatically for posts of users who opt-in, and shows how much power was used to generate the text.
Other than that use case, I hate LLMs. They have never been useful for me and it just seems like overkill for most things, a search engine would do fine, you just have to use your brain a little bit.
Image generation also sucks. Stock images exist and you can just draw, take a photo, hire someone, etc. AI makes people less willing to learn because they think that AI can just do it better, it makes them miss out on the joy of art.
AI’s job is to lie about being human. I fundamentally disagree with that and think its existence is unnaceptable. If AI-generated output was somehow always tagged as AI-generated, then maybe I would change my mind about this, but this is completely unenforceable because AI copies and mimics human output.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Would you rather eat a totato (potato that tastes like a tomato) or a pomato (tomato that tastes like a potato)?
131·29 days agoTotato, tomato taste without the weird gross tomato texture.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anyone else on here a "Reddit refugee"?English
15·29 days agoThey killed 3rd party apps, I didn’t wanna use their app, so I switched to something else and that something else happened to be Lemmy. Turns out, Lemmy is even better than Reddit in many ways.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When/how frequently do you replace your phone with a new one?English
1·29 days agoLike about every 5 to 7 years as that’s usually when it starts getting pretty slow. Not sure why or if it’s planned obsolescence, I take good care of my phones. My current one was gifted to me by my aunt last year, at the right time.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What did you stupidly believe as a child?English
1·29 days agoI thought credit/debit cards had infinite money. Not sure how that idea didn’t lead to me doing incredibly stupid things.
I somehow also thought my parents got groceries for free because I didn’t see them giving physical paper money to the cashier. Or I confusingly also thought they were stealing or something, and the cashier just let them.
You can link to a reputable dictionary instead.
