IngeniousRocks (They/She)

I enjoyed BROCKHAMPTON for the brief period the group existed. Its some kind of unholy combo between a rap group and a boy band and I love it. I’m pretty sure they’re all queer.

Edit: I just realized you said woman. I’m sorry, this whole group is Masc.

Since they added free-form window management.

Oh wow 256 MB, that’s so much more than I’m used to working with!

Its not a search engine, its a data digester. Dont use it as a search engine. Despite what alphabet, micro-shit, and DDG think, AI chatbots do not now, nor will they ever make good search engines.

This is a prime example of why access to these tools should be restricted to computer scientists and research labs. The average person doesn’t know how to use them effectively (resulting in enormous power wasted by ‘prompt engineering’), and the standard available models aren’t good at digesting non-linguistic data.

I’m not gonna downvote you, or be like all “AI is the devil and its gonna kill us all” but people need to use it correctly or we ARE going to kill ourselves with its waste heat.

Edit: ficksed an werd

The cheapest tier is sold at low margin and recouped with ads.

You know we don’t like corn syrup right?

Seems like if you’ve got the ad-free plan and an older chromecast you’re still ok… For now. This is indicative though that the service may not be viable for long for you.

Network Attached Storage

Right. That makes sense, thank you for clearing it up.

Is that not common anymore? I remember back in the day I’d commonly end up with installers that were just self exteacting archives with a little extra. Idk I haven’t used windows basically at all in at least a decade

I’m not familiar with app bundles, and tbh my only experience with exe’s are the kind that are just zip files with a different extension. I’d assumed that under the hood they were similar, but I guess I never actually checked.

If your distrobution’s maintainers have your package in their repos it will generally only be 3-5 clicks in the GUI package manager or 1-2 lines at the terminal.

Flatpak solved compatibility and library issues, becoming huge in the process. AppImage is basically like an Exe for windows.

can I run exe’s yet…

This has been possible for over 20 years, but with the more recent changes to WINE most (MOST not ALL) windows apps will work fine but you really shouldn’t be trying to use the windows apps unless there’s no other option

Today I made vegetarian salisbury steaks using impossible patties, store bought broth, and fresh veggies and herbs (and some stuff I had laying around). I spent less than $15 total (costco, price per unit) on the ingredients. It took 2 hours of cooking.

Assuming a wage of $25/hr, lower than adequate but relatively high in service fields in the US (those who work enough that delivery is super tempting), my meal cost me $65 including my labor. That’s less than it’d cost for delivery of a similar meal, is higher quality than I could get for delivery, and I’ve got leftovers for tomorrow, which I wouldn’t get with delivery.

Delivery is a scam. Gig economy Based delivery doubly so.

I love burning entire trees as firewood on ice, that’s definitely a smart and cool human activity.

Linux doesn’t really have issues with NTFS, you just need to install the drivers.

My entire server storage is NTFS (except the boot drive) because its migrated from a windows system, but I use linux.

I mean it all looks like its working now, it was around 1 hr 30 ago when I tried

I couldn’t view any content hosted on blahaj, kept getting a CF http 500 error. Poats that had already federated out were fine but links back to uploaded content were all broken.

Its actually cloudflare.

Blahaj zone is down too, presumably anything that routes traffic through CF.

Editing later to clarify because I noticed this comment made some implications: Obviously it wasn’t just blahaj that was down, I’m sure plenty of other instances were too. I saw someone mention one of the austrailian ones as well. Blahaj was the one I noticed since I subscribe to a lot of their comms in my feed. This comment was not meant to throw shade at them for using Cloudflare.

Bud if its not feasible for you don’t do it then.

As I stated in my original comment, some people use readymade suites and pay for support, that is their perogative.

I find I do Better quality work when I build my own toolkit, and tie the tools together my way.

To borrow an example from my father in reference to working on cars:

Sure you can buy a mechanic’s toolbox that will have everything you need but those are cheap, mass produced tools desogned to fit the needs of the everyman. If you buy an empty toolbox instead you can fill it with the tools you use, then you can have higher quality tools for the things you actually do with them and not waste space on tools you don’t ever touch.
