Remember 10 years ago the YouTube app only showed ads on every 3rd video and often only a single 5 second ad, and everything longer could be skipped.

Like a frog in a pot I could tolerate that amount, a few years later they started the ad ramp-up and what finally drove me to install vanced were 3 unskippable ads you had to endure just to watch something.

j/k h/l I learned those playing Nethack

It’s about 15 years ago I used a 486 based embedded board with ethernet, can’t remember the name of it.

Literally unusable

It would be the best if my economy could handle missing a few paychecks.

Or if I earned like 10 times my housing+living expenses I would have a very different approach to working.

Just install Luanti and that will take care of the Minecraft group.

You are right, it’s not very often I see fights here.

Regarding migration to Lemmy, I think it will happen originally/slowly and in a few years the majority of questions will be asked here.

Correct we only want the sour linuxers here.

That’s crazy talk, the only way to expand Mother America is through the womb of our courageous breeding females.

Browsing the internet will be like playing AI Quake II, you’ll think you are in this alternate universe.

I use Devuan on my servers, changed because I was annoyed that systemd was forced on me. (I have mellowed a bit since and accept that systemd is here to stay)

I chose Mint for my laptop, because I just want a OS that works and still gives me a taskbar. (Here I got fed up when Ubuntu switched away from gnome)

All of them are apt based Linux because it just works and when apt shoots itself in the foot during dist upgrades you can still wrangle it back in working order.

Sounds about right, I had a positive experience when I told my local LLM to refactor a function and add a single argument.

I would not dare letting it loose on a whole source file, because it changes random things giving you more code to review.

In my view current LLM’s do a acceptable job with:

• Adding comments
• Writing docstrings
• Writing git commit messages
• Simple tasks on small pieces of code

I think they talk about Jihad for Lisan al Gaib, https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Muad'Dib's_Jihad

Top Secret (1984) made fun of Ford Pinto

The felon is too weak and demented to do anything else than sign documents.

He is a weak figurehead for the billionaires and it’s his handlers that decide his agenda.

The longer we get into his term the more clear it will be that gramps should be in a nursing home.

Musk Jr. would like it on the record that we need more candy and toys.

You are correct it’s an confusing article Quantamagazine have written, why do they start highlighting “Tiny Pointers” https://arxiv.org/pdf/2111.12800 when “Optimal Bounds for Open Addressing Without Reordering” https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.02305 is the main paper, and it disproves part of Tiny Pointers.

Here’s a link to the paper “Tiny Pointers” https://arxiv.org/pdf/2111.12800 those editors at Quantamagazine writes their summary in a strange fashion, for instance using x in stead of n which is normally used in computer science when talking about big O notation.
