Whether it smells “good” or not, it’s probably very dense in information.

When I lived on a slightly tall hill, we had a lot of lightning one night.

Bitcoin didn’t really make it as a currency, though - as far I can tell it’s mostly used as a investment vehicle. What’s the actual value behind all the billions invested in it?

yeah…

TBH I doubt that the AI bubble is going to burst that soon. If at all - the Bitcoin bubble still hasn’t burst, and it’s been going for longer.

Looks to me like the supposed dad’s joke satirizes the bullshit that rightwingers peddle, while also complaining about the much less outlandish but actually real, and obviously infuriating, issue of teacher having to pay for chalk and other lesson supplies. That’s punching up, not down.

Yes, many moderators aren’t doing their job, what else is new.

Yes, but they need to all agree with it, which is rather unlikely. Tags or any kind of topic filtering beyond nsfw and blocking entire communities or instances aren’t a thing in the standard Lemmy UI anyway, which will lead to a lot of mods who agree with the basic idea being uninterested in enforcing it.

I don’t think calculators have quite the same issues as LLMs, though. Calculators are deterministic and aren’t used to influence your opinion. Also, elemtary/gradeschoolers are generally not using calculators anyway, because you do need basic knowledge of how to do calculations by hand or in your head.

Either way, it’s a reach to post this on c/programmer_humor.

That would be amazing, but enforcing it seems unrealistic.

What’s funny about this?

Inertia?

TBF, on Debian apt install firefox installs firefox-esr, and on Ubuntu it’s a placeholder that installs the snap package. Both work and are clearly better than downloading from random websites, but they do come with surprises for unsuspecting users.

AFAIK and IME, most of the cheap ones Just Work™. At least on Linux, would be unusual if that wasn’t true on other operating systems.

I assume that leaderships don’t want to put in the work, because that would cost money and talented developers get uppity when you can’t/won’t threaten them with immediate replacement with LLMs and inexperienced, low-paid devs. And nevermind getting on Larian’s level, most big publishers seem to prefer remakes over originals.

Yes. From everything I’ve heard and seen, it doesn’t look like they’re going to be making another isometric CRPG anytime soon. It’s a pretty niche genre anyway, even Larian’s success with Baldur’s Gate 3 doesn’t change that.

Pillars of Eternity 3, in the style of PoE 1+2 (i.e. isometric perspective and party-based combat). The original developer was bought out by Microsoft and now makes games that are more in line with The Elder Scrolls.

Tabbed mode basically replaces alt+tab … you could even rebind Mod+Arrow to Alt+Tab if you really wanted (if you didn’t set your Mod key to Alt).

Yeah, I’m not desperate enough for a preconfigured i3/sway distro to learn a different package manager. There’s also Ubuntu Sway Remix, it’s even configured without Snaps out of the box.
