Not dense enough. I stick to old.lemmy.world even with all its bugs.

The term would be a Duopoly.
Get the ones with the strip LEDs that look like they’re trying to emulate a glowing tungsten filament. I can’t remember where I got the information; it was like the Technology Connections YouTube channel or something, but I remember them saying that since they put the LED lights in series on those bulbs, they have a much higher voltage requirement to drive them, and much less circuitry is needed. It’s the circuitry that burns out, and many of these filament-style LED lights literally only have a resistor as their main component.
I’ve swapped to these kinds of LEDs like…5 years ago, and haven’t had one burn out yet. Probably have like…15 of them across the entire house.

Everyone always whines about anything Mozilla does with Firefox. These additions are at least much less intrusive than their addition of Pocket.
I mean, the mermaid is missing the part I like the most…
The web needs ways to establish and convey trust signals which show that a user is who they say they are
Because it’s just a convenient way to track people, confirm they are not bots, so that information can be sifted and sold.
Wait…which side are you talking about exactly?
So maybe like some sort of list of computer instructions – which tells the computer to generate a map, and then tabulates the data and presents it to the user like…
If only we had a term for this…
Like algoism, or arithmos… something to do with calculation or something…
There’s kind of a bell curve of users where their needs are so simple that Linux use is great for them. They’ll never do anything more complex than visit a webpage in Firefox, and that’s great.
Then as your needs get more and more complex, Linux isn’t quite a good fit – You’ll want to use a specific printer, or a specific software (looking at you solidworks!), or you’ll have some sort of organization that requires you use MS Office, etc. – There are ways around all of that stuff, but if you’re not already on the train, it can get frustrating.
Up until your needs get even more complex, where Linux starts becoming the best choice again - You want a tiling window manager, and ipv6 with firewall and ZFS on the network etc.
It’s the middle bell curve where your new user is already kind-of a power user, but not quite a technical-user yet that gets people.
Yeah, see that’s the kicker. Calling this “computer nerd stuff” just gives away your real thinking on the matter. My high school daughters use this to finish their essay work quickly, and they don’t really know jack about computers.
You’re right that old people are bailing - they tend to. They’re ignorant, they don’t like to learn new and better ways of doing things, they’ve raped our economy and expect everything to be done for them. People who embrace this stuff will simply run circles around those who don’t. That’s fine. Luddites exist in every society.
So you got the wrong information about an app once. When a GPT is scoring higher than 97% of human test takers on the SAT and other standardized testing - what does that tell you about average human intelligence?
The thing about GPTs is that they are just word predictors. Lots of time when asked super specific questions about small subjects that people aren’t talking about - yeah - they’ll hallucinate. But they’re really good at condensing, categorizing, and regurgitating a wide range of topics quickly; which is amazing for most people.
Holy BALLS are you getting a lot of garbage answers here.
Have you seen all the other things that generative AI can do? From bone-rigging 3D models, to animations recreated from a simple video, recreations of voices, art created from people without the talent for it. Many times these generative AIs are very quick at creating boilerplate that only needs some basic tweaks to make it correct. This speeds up production work 100 fold in a lot of cases.
Plenty of simple answers are correct, breaking entrenched monopolies like Google from search, I’ve even had these GPTs take input text and summarize it quickly - at different granularity for quick skimming. There’s a lot of things that can be worthwhile out of these AIs. They can speed up workflows significantly.
http://www.pbnation.com – They have shit still up on that forum from 30 years ago. It’s wild.
I mean, it was less than 20 years ago that this used to happen to me, but it was usually a matter of going to archlinux.org, and usually right on the front page, they’d have a “You need to run this command to fix it”.
They even have one for July 1st right on the home page. So it absolutely does happen from time to time.
It’s the internet - so unless you’re under Texas’ jurisdiction, then it’s likely going to just simply be ignored. Lemmy doesn’t have an interest in making money in Texas or anything, so it’s not like they can go after bank accounts, or otherwise retaliate in any manner other than blocking Lemmy in Texas…so…nothing lost.
I’ve heard that anyone who’s drank water has died anyways.
They do still contain a good portion of rubber; the natural type farmed from trees.
Just use Krita or the Affinity line of software (works under WINE pretty much flawlessly).
