That’s kind of outside the software development discussion but glad you’re enjoying it.

Most ides do the boring stuff with templates and code generation for like a decade so that’s not so helpful to me either but if it works for you.

Explain this too me AI. Reads back exactly what’s on the screen including comments somehow with more words but less information Ok…

Ok, this is tricky. AI, can you do this refactoring so I don’t have to keep track of everything. No… Thats all wrong… Yeah I know it’s complicated, that’s why I wanted it refactored. No you can’t do that… fuck now I can either toss all your changes and do it myself or spend the next 3 hours rewriting it.

Yeah I struggle to find how anyone finds this garbage useful.

At least on my pixel 7, they rolled out Gemini replacement but you could revert it to the classic assistant. It was slow, none of my normal commands worked, and it wouldn’t find anything I was looking for just “answer my question”. I asked it how to disable itself and it couldn’t answer that though. You can probably find documentation online if you use an actual search engine

With the local law, probably not. With the translating the concerns of open communities like the fediverse and FLOSS into legal terms, most definitely.

I meant that in the video it’s consistently not worked for a very long time. Seems the switch to HDMI left it behind. While it would be nice if devices supported it like he asked, the fact it was skipped in the HDMI standard and not mandated by law means it’s unlikely devices racing too the bottom line will ever care. And that’s basically what we see. Only the most expensive devices even acknowledge it’s an issue.

That said, I hope VLC devs see his video and improve things. I’m sure it’s more complicated then it seems but it would be cool for them to add that to the ways they’re better than every other player put there.

If someone wants to make me worth 100 million I wouldn’t complain. Can’t guarantee I’ll understand though.

After watching his video it feels like it was already left behind.

If you’re giving me the choice of killing the AI industry or artists it doesn’t seem like a hard decision. Am I missing something?

He did day that about our plugs a lot. Maybe you would you like a link to the technology connections video saying basically exactly what @chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world said about our split phase 120/240 setup then?

I mean it seems to happen pretty often. The Curiosity Nebula mess, Crunchyroll had a $10 for the lifetime of your account thing but when Sony bought them they started messing with it. Even Google tried it with Google App domains free tier which they promised for life. I think everyone said fu to the buyout and just waited for the class action until Google blinked at the last minute.

I assume Plex will find a way to start charging lifetime purchasers any day now.

At this point I look for them just to see what sort of train wreck it’ll turn into.

Teams is a giant turd but using it is a reality of working with a lot of companies so it’s nice it’s at least easy to install a slightly more functional version.

Nope, no waiting, sitting on the call with me while we try multiple things and waiting through reboots while he bounced ideas off I believe an internal slack discussion or something. no trying to get off the call or hand me off to meet some arbitrary call time quota.

Safari used to be khtml/Konqueror so … I’m not sure how we’re dividing actually.

I mean, before DOGE ostensibly took over USDS I was aware of it funding open source projects through normal processes just because their continued improvement helped the government function. Making software good for government agencies was one of their mandates.

If I had full faith in the current Mozilla project like I used to, I’d say they could just accept funding through the nonprofit in a similar setup and just do good things.

My point is there are ways to make it work where there is funding without influence. Just corruption and capitalism are fighting against it.

My SOs system76 had intermittent graphics issues and their tech support had hour-long calls with me over several weeks and additional emails correspondence where we did some very in-depth testing and monitoring of the machine. I think most of the testing was that their team genuinely wanted to know if it was a hardware or software issue and fix it right.

In the end they replaced the entire motherboard under warranty because they pointed out in another month and it wouldn’t be covered and it might fix it. It did.

I suspect it was just a bad Nvidia GPU. It sucks that it had the problem and that it was difficult to track down but all laptops break.

I challenge anyone to find that level of support from a Windows manufacturer without having a corporate account.

They discontinued that native app and have a kinda broken pwa. But open-source community delivers.

Great! Now not only can chrome eat all my system memory, it can use all my GPU memory at the same time! It’s genius!

I need to figure out who’s giving out all this free money because I’d really like for some to come my way.

You can tell because his mouth is moving.
