The Ramen Dutchman

I mean really, fuck Microsoft and Windows!

Loomer is not a very credible source…

Also, you could’ve been much nicer about this. There was no need for you to insult people over this.

I would say it’s a good example of a bad use-case for an LLM; you don’t have sources, and you can’t fact-check anything. Those two are absolutely vital requirements when claiming something as true.

Aside from that, most generative AI have been trained on vast amounts of data that was never allowed to go into the dataset; copyrighted/IP-righted paintings, articles, comics, and novels have been included against the wishes of the artists/authors. The fact that nothing is being done on a legal system level shows that copyright and IP rights clearly do not apply to American oligarchs, and many of us don’t like that. Most generative AIs also need an absurd amount of power to run and hurt the environment a lot. It sucks to separate paper and plastic waste just to know that there are people blasting through an hour worth of airconditioning just to ask a computer something they could’ve looked up instead (and found sources, too!)

I say this as someone who loves using AI and experimenting with it¹: This was a very bad use-case of generative AI.

¹: although lighter ones and locally like Mistral, using open datasets like OpenOrca

I do think they couldn’t catch the killer, and they needed a scapegoat just to make an example out of someone.

No need to track down your scapegoat; especially not when you just found someone’s cringy but fitting manifesto online.

Looking it up, there’s a discussion on Framework’s Discourse, but nothing shipping yet.

The best hope at the moment is to buy and connect an LTE M.2 key card that connects over USB-A, which would work on any laptop, come to think of it.

Hold up, there are third-party SIM card expansions‽

I don’t have a Framework laptop (yet) but once I’ve got the money together I really want one!

And just started cleaning up their GitHub account…

Probably DeepSeek.

Here’s a simple command to turn any file into a single b!

echo a > $file_name

each file is minimum 4kb

$ touch empty_file
$ ls -l
total 8
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user group 0 may 14 20:13 empty_file
$ wc -c empty_file 
0 empty_file

Huh?

My brother in Christ TailwindCSS just gives classes that let you do inline styling in a shorter syntax! (and theme configuration, but mostly inline styling)

Replace width: ...px with w-..., margin-left: ... with ml-... and margin-right: ... with mr-.... Setting both horizontal margins is mx-... and both vertical margins is my-....

If you can do inline styling, TW just makes the syntax a bit shorter, but that’s it, really.

To be fair, unlocking the frame rate on console-to-PC ports still fast-forwards many games including Nier: Automata or breaks the physics like in Skyrim.

It doesn’t have to be this way, any more, but it still is because… Lack of expertise? I really can’t think of anything else?

To be fair, they show up as “^X” or whatever, and typing [Shift]+[6] followed by the [X]-key doesn’t do the trick.

Still do.

It can be easier if you’re used to the dash before the arguments; it’s optional but you can put them:

tar -cf   # Compress File
tar -xf   # Xtract File

I was about to say tar -CompressZeVuckingFile; great mnemonic and I use it every time!

At some point around retirement age, humans seem to cognitively revert back to children

I know someone who works in a elderly care home, she says roughly the same: “Ouderen verkindsen” (elderly turn into children)

Your cognitive abilities really do seem to diminish after a certain point, no matter where. It’s annoying they think they’re adults and demand respect…

This guy gets it!

$ touch girl
$ echo 'nyaa~' > girl
$ cat girl
