A live service game failing isn’t newsworthy. It’s newsworthy when one isn’t completely terrible

After 6 months VC money demands they move on into live service and other ways to screw their audiences

I believe what he is saying is that he can’t load Reddit results because Reddit blocks his VPN, so blocking Reddit from search results is useful to him

To me office is the bonus to the cloud storage and syncing. Yeah I know it’s easy to run a NAS but the UX of having to manage it is a headache and quite frankly it gives me more piece of mind to pass the buck of getting pwned to Microsoft or Google

Todays Mac’s are tomorrow’s Linux machines.

I deleted my Reddit back in the API debacle (well I deleted all my content, still squatting on the username since I use it else where as well)

Being here shows that there really is no reason to go back to Reddit for the default subs which are just absolutely useless karma farms. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze for niche subs, I do hope that the fediverse will grow enough to support the niche interests without falling into the enshittification pitfalls of corporate social media

It’s like 8 total games. They are probably going for their stupid drip release strategy.

What’s wrong with technology connections? He makes easily digestible if not a bit snarky videos on classic and popular tech. It’s not really appropriate for this community though so I can see why you wouldn’t care for it being posted here

I think I missed a bit of sarcasm here…

If someone really wants to use the contribution of the expelled maintainers they can just make their own fork. Part of the Free in FOSS is the freedom to associate or not associate with contributors.

It probably depends how many good examples it has to pull together from stack overflow etc. it’s usually fine writing python, JavaScript, or powershell but I’d say if you have any level of specific needs it will just hallucinate a fake module or library that is a couple words from your prompt put into a function name but it’s usually good enough for me to get started to either write my own code or gives me enough context that I can google what the actual module is and find some real documentation. Useful to subject matter experts if there is enough training data would be my new qualifier.

It’s perfect for topics you have professional knowledge of but don’t have perfect recall for. It can bring forward the context you need to be refreshed on but you can fact check it because you are an expert in that field.

If you need boilerplate code for a project but don’t remember a specific library or built in function that tackles your problem, you can use AI to generate an example you can then fix to make it run the way you wanted.

Same thing with finding config examples for a program that isn’t well documented but you are familiar with.

Sorry all my examples are tech nerd stuff because I’m just another tech nerd on lemmy

After Apollo went down, made me realize how much unnecessary screen time I was wasting my life on. The smaller size and scope of the fediverse is probably better for my mental health than Twitter/Reddit were

I don’t use Reddit whatsoever. Being away from that site for 18 months has really shown how low quality the content there is. I know longer have any desire to ever interact with that site if I can help it, even if the fediverse is missing some of the active niche communities on reddit

!parenting@lemmy.world is pretty active. Doesn’t get a huge amount of discussion threads but when someone starts one they always have plenty of responses.

I don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of every random library or built-in function of every language on earth so what’s the difference between googling for an example on stack overflow or asking an LLM?

If you are asking ChatGPT for every single piece of code it will be terrible because it just hallucinates libraries or misunderstands the prompt. But saying any kind of use makes you a bad programmer seems more like fud than actual concern

I did the same using Mastodon for my blog, ended up switching to Disqus (shudders) just because it supports more SSO options for accounts that my limited readership is likely to have

Buy physical, dump the cart and then install it digitally to whatever damn device I please

Number 2 belongs in the trash

I don’t refrain from participating in Lemmy.ml community unless the mods of that community act like the admins do. The majority of users aren’t my issue with Lemmy.ml at least on the non political communities, it’s the admin’s suppression of opposition
