I remember commenting about people going over the speed limit here on Lemmy, and getting so many downvotes from people who could never explain to me why they thought they deserved to go over the speed limit. Emergencies, with your emergency lights on? By all means! Going over the speed limit because you got up or left late for work? No bueno.

Don’t waste your time. They didn’t read it, because they want a narrative to peddle.

Larian was cooking while BioWare was microwaving.

Outlook (New) is such garbage. Web app, and doesn’t support plugins. Less functionality over all. Pathetic.

Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention! I recently upgraded a 10 year old device with a Macbook (first time owner!) and was not impressed with how MacOS operates. Cue to me installing things like Swipe, Bartender, etc. I would have kept happily updating this program without your bringing it to my attention, so THANK YOU!

It would not surprise me in the least, but more importantly, if they get breached and they have sloppy mechanisms in place, my license could be fully out there in the wild. May be whatever to some, but I think it’s too risky to trust some company with it that also has contracts with the government itself.

ID.me offers numerous identity verification products,[9] supplied by third parties. For “high-assurance” identity verification, the company verifies personal data, including drivers’ licenses, passports, and social security numbers.[21] Users must also take a video selfie with their phones, using the ID.me photo app.[1] If ID.me fails to verify users through this information, users are directed to talk to a “Trusted Referee” video call.[22] ID.me users have expressed frustration due to long delays on its video call line

How fucking convenient.

Right, my government also gave me a number at my birth. They know where I live, they know how much I make and where I work. The third party, ID.me, definitely does NOT need any of my information, since the entity that is taxing me, already does.

The catch is that it requires ID.me, and there is no way in hell I’m giving some third party a picture of my fucking drivers license.

If they’re lucky, and hopefully they are! There are a LOT more bad jobs out there than sitting inside and looking at screens.

How was it? What was your use-case for it? The software/theme part of the website started to get drowned out by furry stuff, and the occasional live nude models or just scantily dressed models, which is fine but not what I went there for.

I bought an ultrawide monitor, and it has over the years, become my least favorite part of my setup. The games that I play usually do not even support ultrawide, movies don’t support it, and Youtube videos do not support it.

Basically, I spent the extra amount of money on a monitor that shows black bars 90% of the time I am at my desk, and that has really soured my experience with ultrawides.

The next monitor I get will be a flat, 2 or 4k OLED monitor.

I love LGR and his content. Glad to see others do too!

Ah, man. I remember when I went to this site to get themes for windows cursor, windows themes, and even skins for some of the programs I liked at the time. They went downhill quite some time ago, maybe around 2014 or 2015, as I stopped using that site as much because of the increase in pornographic stuff that showed on the front page. It will be missed though, either way.

So, the whole point of learning is to ask questions from people who know more than you, so that you can gain the knowledge you need to succeed…

So… if you try to use these LLMs to replace parts of sectors, where there need to be people that can work their way to the next tier as they learn more and get better at their respective sectors, you do realize that eventually there will no longer be people that can move up their respective tier/position, because people like you said “Fuck ‘em, all in on this stupid LLM bullshit!” So now there are no more doctors, or real programmers, because people like you thought it would just be the GREATEST idea to replace humans with fucking LLMs.

You do see that, right?

Calling people fucking stupid, because they are learning, is actually pretty fucking stupid.

Yes. That is turned on for me, or else it wouldn’t have answered in the first place.

The issue is that instead of looking at either the integrated weather app, or the CARROT weather app that I mainly use, it wants to try and look it up on safari.

The biggest issue about Siri for me has always been that it is inconsistent as fuck about they way you ask it things.

I swear. One moment, “Play my radio station” works, and the next day it says, “I’m sorry. I can’t do that right now. “ or the weather request earlier.

Finally. It has been, for the last ten years, almost exclusively useless.

“Hey Siri, what is the weather like right now?”

“I’m sorry. You’ll have to unlock your phone for that. “ it says from across the room, as I’m looking at what clothes I should wear for whatever weather it is.

“You are such a fucking waste of electricity. I don’t even know why I keep trying to use you.”

“I’m sorry. I won’t respond to that. “

“You never do anyway, so no change there!”

I use a VPN at all times, because I want to, and I have now learned to not Google anything as it takes me to these CAPTCHAs that I refuse to do. Bing may be crappy too, but at least it doesn’t block me from a simple search. There is no reason, in my opinion, to block a VPN from SEARCHING something. Disgusting.

When I finally learned how do install a different desktop environment, and still use Debian, I was set. KDE!!! KDE!!! KDE!!!

Thank goodness! I can finally get the hell away from Authy!
