Less paper relative to an in-person vote

There is an inherent catch-22 in that the people who believe AI a fluke will rarely have the time/interest in realizing the vast improvements since the initial launch 2-3 years ago.

I am as frugal as they come, yet I shell out money for the paid version and have a reference point on its helpfulness that is grounded in experience. It is almost impossible trying to create a reference point to those that have no (recent) experience and refuse to get any.

It’s human nature/Dunning-Kreuger so I can’t be too frustrated I suppose.

Troublehsooting technology.

I’ve been using Linux as my daily driver for a year and a half and my learning is going a lot quicker thanks to AI. It’s so much easier to ask a question and get an answer instead of searching through stack overflow for 30 minutes.

That isn’t to say that the LLM never gives terrible advice. In fact, two weeks ago, I was digging through my logs for a potential intruder (false alarm) and the LLM gave me instructions that ended up deleting journal logs completely.

The good far outweighs the bad for sure tho.

The Linux community specifically has an anti-AI tilt that is embarrassing at times. LLMs are amazing, and much like random strangers on the internet, you don’t blindly trust/follow everything they say, and you’ll be just fine.

The best way I think of AI is that it’s going through a bubble not unlike the early days of the internet. There was a lot of overvalued companies and scams, but it still ushered in a new era.

Another analogy that comes to mind is how people didn’t trust wikipedia 20 years ago because anyone could edit it, and now it is one of the most trusted sources for information out there. AI will never be as ‘dumb’ as it is today, which is ironic because a lot of the perspective I see on AI was formed around free models from 2023.

koreader, tracker control

Also, they’re new but opentimelimit and unlockmaster for productivity

Reminds me of the time that the FBI created ‘secure’ phones for illicit criminal activities

There’s a great Search Engine episode on it https://player.fm/series/search-engine-3326982/whats-the-best-phone-to-do-crimes-on

I made the jump last year. There will be ups and downs but I don’t plan on using another OS on my computers ever.

I agree 100%. Liberals retweeting how Elon is losing money is actually making him money

There’s an irony seeing Redditors creating threads and complaining about it as if they did anything during the API-gate saga

Yes. Widespread nihilism certainly will not have any negative consequences

I see what you did there

OTA antennae for sports.

For streaming, I usually watch it on my laptop so that I can have easier options to skip and replay.

My desktop is connected via HDMI so I have that as an option but I rarely take advantage of it.

I live by myself so I don’t have as much pushback as you likely would FYI

Earlier this month I finally disconnected the wifi for my 7 year old Roku TV. I miss being able to turn it on w/ voice activation but I’ll trade that in for my privacy

what’s the min-sys requirements for a good experience?

I can’t tell if you’re serious or trolling

Any rando lofi channel on YouTube/Spotify/Online Radio Stations

Probably not for me as I’m not interested in a summarizing tool, but I’m not against AI in general.

OAN, I think over time, the community will see that AI was a bubble, but in the same way that the internet was a bubble back in the day.

Probably because you can pay for a month and download all the wallpapers and cancel.

Their current userbase is not their target userbase. They are trying to reach a more mainstream audience but all of their attempts to monetize are seen as useless by their current userbase.

• They want to increase revenue w/ ads - A loud swath of FF users are tech savvy and have adblocking enabled
• They want to pivot towards AI - A loud swath of FF users see AI as gimmicky

Repeat ad-nauseum

In addition to being in the wrong section, this also shows that Firefox usage was in a steep decline long before the pay took off in 2016.

Did you take advantage of the $9.99 sale as well?

I took a breather after dying a few times fighting the first boss 2-3 weeks ago. I’ve forgotten the control already, yet when I decide to pick it back up I’m going to have to kill a boss smh lol
