the fact that I never learned git very well is really saving me here because I didn't know about this yet and hadn't been bitten by it.
...wait how would that even work given that git allows octopus merges?
The thing about nix-pills is that it's an excellent tutorial series for people who already use nix on a regular basis but want to understand the patterns and underlying principles. As an introduction to nix it's TERRIBLE.
The transition from archlinux to nixos is complete because I may tolerate brokenness but I'll be damned if I accept non-deterministic brokenness.
you hate it when you make a skeet that seems pretty good for once and then realize there's a typo.
The sad thing is I can actually believe some engineers would take this deal.
It's goes deeper than that. The whole damned system is rigged in favor of evil processes. Keepin' us down, tellin' us to just "play nice"...
I know what fluffing is. I don't know what you think constitutes "fluffing AI" because I know a lot of people who have very different ideas of what they'd think counts. I was trying to understand that.
I was moreso just trying to parse your opinion, because I genuinely didn't know what group you intended to refer to.
I'm realizing it didn't come across that way. I put my opinion in the request for clarification and it made it sound like I was saying what your opinion should be. I'm sorry!
Wait this is FREE? What? WHAT?
I mean I guess it depends on what you mean by "fluffing". Are we talking about "this is a useful tool" or "it's alive"?
My suspicion is a non-lawyer is that the scraping will be found to be legal, as will the charging for it (there's just too much precedent of services that don't use AI doing similar things), but the exploitation of the author's likeness won't be.
One thing I wish ao3 made easier to express is "I want to see what people are doing with this tag in every fandom I'm personally interested in". Because you can't save search filters and the filter has no way to express disjunctions it's really painful to do this!
Okay the update to 2.4 and the latest linux kernel seems to have fixed the worst of it. Things are still occasionally slow, but performance is mostly REASONABLE, rather than everything being slow to a weird degree.
Oh no I'm pretty sure I saw the post you're talking about, I just wouldn't have described it that way myself so I wanted to be sure we were talking about the same post.
Wait someone said nobody deserves free time?
I mean sometimes it also gets worse for free which is less fun.
I think moltbook may well end up being the pets dot com of the AI bubble.
Yeah I'm a programmer so. Uh. Yeah.
Mental health struggles and general dysfunction have made it hard to build out my portfolio the way I've wanted to but I've finally started to pull myself together a bit so hopefully I can improve that over the next few months.
Wait but. What?
If you click-to-move how do you select text?
This is the reason I'm not job-hunting on here: I have yet to create a portfolio that I think would credibly convince anyone to hire me.
How is this how I learn that former Mathematician and State Comptroller Daniel Biss is running for congress.
(Look I literally only know he exists because of the John Green connection and don't live in IL, so)
I mean I can understand why paying for managed PDS hosting might be a thing in the future (especially, if, say, you wanted to upload a lot of very large blobs or something), but this particular product makes no sense.
Like I'm not against charging for managed PDS hosting as a concept but periwinkle uhhh
Of course it's ftruncate too.
Ooooog. Yeah that's. Ow. Pain.
Okay I think I'm still on a version below 2.4, which apparently fixes this, so I'll see about upgrading tomorrow and hopefully the Sadness improves.
...oh you know what, there's a hook running atuin. So I bet the cd itself was actually quite quick and then there was some contention on atuin's database or. Something.
That doesn't explain why the KDE menu bar kept locking up though.
no but like. how does cd take seconds. how. that should not be possible.
So somehow despite performance metrics indicating my computer isn't doing very much it noticeably FEELS like shit.
Please god let me not have installed zfs wrong.
Have you ever tried to write VDOM by hand with no syntactic sugar? Because it's not pleasant.
People do emphatically watch fake versions of all those sorts too. We just call them "movies" or "TV shows" or "Anime" and they aren't part-improv and don't have the same kind of audience participation angle.
