Yeah I find LLMs most useful to basically read the docs for me and provide it’s own sample/pseudocode. If it goes off the rails, I have to guide it back myself using natural language. Even then though it’s still just a tool that gets me going in the right direction, or helps me consider alternative solutions buried in the docs that I might have skimmed over. Rarely does it produce code that I can actually use in my project.

Not trying to criticize you or anything, just genuinely asking - why is it so much worse to turn your computer off when you’re done with it than putting it to sleep?

They sell gameplay and not graphics and that’s timeless.

No, they keep rehashing the same like 4 IPs over and over, feeding off the nostalgia kick people get out of their favorite childhood video game releasing on a modern console

Hey, that’s not completely fair. They added a C-button that activates GameChat, so you can take up space on an already small screen to watch your friends stream their face or their game at 9 frames per second. Oh and also a microphone. Revolutionary stuff, really

Devs/publishers aren’t any more greedy than they were 15 years ago.

Looks at the dozens of live service games that have come out in the past decade, with their multiple currencies and premium battle passes

A little display or indicator light somewhere on the toilet itself would be better than connecting it to some IOT app

Yeah I’d much rather spread poo particles all over my smartphone instead

You know what, I like this one. And just like KBBQ/hot pot, there’s gonna be people who ask “what’s the point of going to a restaurant if they make you cook it yourself?” And you know what I say to those people?

You’re entitled to your opinion and I respect that - also, more hot pot for me!

Weird to recommend someone develop software for Linux then, on the basis that “it should Just Work ™️ in Windows because Windows has the Linux Windows Thing”

Dawg, you can’t make a post talking about how dumb you are, include an anecdote that demonstrates how dumb you are, and then get defensive when people call you dumb lol.

Also, if you actually want productive help, you probably need a financial literacy class and a financial advisor, not a post on Lemmy.

implying the big Linux DEs of user-friendly distros (usually Cinnamon, KDE or Gnome) were bad is just utter nonsense

Where did I imply that?

Incomplete at times in regards to very specialised administrative tasks, sure.

Right, that’s all I was saying.

Lol stop putting words in my mouth

You missed my point so bad that I’m unsure if it’s worth trying to re-explain myself

The one enabling people to understand and use their devices on their own.

If you’re using a UI, and you have a question about something or don’t understand what you’re doing, isn’t that a sign that either the UI you’re using is insufficient, or your own knowledge is lacking?

Good UI/UX conveys function.

Exactly. By itself, a good UI should “enable people to understand and use their device on their own”. If you’re a UI user and you can’t figure something out on your own, maybe you need to use the terminal to accomplish whatever you’re trying to do.

Depending on how many layers of abstraction you have, your app may not have access to the raw HTTP response.

That sounds like either over-abstraction or bad abstraction then

The numbers I’m “throwing around” say that you’re literally and objectively wrong

Because over half the people voted for him

No they didn’t. Only like 60% of eligible voters actually voted in this past election. Which means only about 30% of eligible voters voted for Trump. About 80% of the country’s population are eligible voters, and since only 30% voted for Trump, 80% x 30% = 24% of the population voted for him. Roughly a quarter of people voted for him, not half.

And for anyone who’s wondering, “why did only 60% of eligible voters vote?” The answer is mostly voter suppression in various forms.

Right? It’s also got a cast aluminum frame that breaks if you load the trailer hitch with around 10,000 lbs of downward force. Which means that the back of your Cybertruck could just straight up break off if you’ve frontloaded your trailer and hit a pothole wrong.

Fair enough, sorry for the misunderstanding.

I’ve had the opposite experience with Windows audio though. It’s always been weird for me, randomly switching outputs for no reason, and I stopped even trying to connect wireless headphones because it would always seem to prioritize those, even when they’re turned off. Every 5 to 6 months I’d have to dig deep in the audio settings to fiddle with the gain on my mic so I’d stop blowing out my friends’ ears on discord.

I had a heck of a time finding a distro that would properly do 5.1 out of my integrated ASUS audio device

That’s not even close to a common use case though. Using that as an indicator of how user friendly Linux is is unfair.

Even the Nvidia graphics card sentiment is becoming outdated. There have been sizeable improvements in their drivers over the past couple years.
