No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the deal with people liking old devices?English
10·8 days agoBy using an older piece of tech that does one thing, you make doing that thing an activity again. As in, it’s a conscious involvement to do that thing now, it’s not just an app or a side feature of some other device.
For instance, I got an iPod Nano a little while ago and just loaded it with the few hundred songs I care to listen to. I use a fraction of the space of the thing if I care to add more music, but now when I want to listen to music I have to use a specific device to do so. It makes it more of a conscious decision to listen to music and, to me, makes me enjoy it more.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlashEnglish
15·21 days agoLutris has always been a pain in the ass to use. Nothing I set up worked properly. Manually setting things up via Proton has worked just fine for me, so nothing of value was lost with this fiasco.

5·21 days agoA steaming bowl of chili and some fry bread.
Just do it. It’s a simple process and will only brick it if you’re an absolute moron.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Carney says Canadian military participation in Middle East war can’t be ruled outEnglish
6·28 days agoWe did, and in a perfect world I’d love to vote NDP. Usually do when Trump Lite isn’t a possibility. But let’s be honest, Canada is a two party system. NDP haven’t had a snowball’s chance in hell since Layton. Bloc, Green, et al? Lol.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the best thing made from potatoes?English
27·28 days agoTwice-baked potatoes. Bake them, lay them on the side, slice the top off, scoop out the potato while leaving the skin intact like a little boat. Mash the spuds with butter, sour cream, seasoning salt, cheese, and bacon bits (scallions too if you like them - I don’t), scoop back into the potato, shred more cheese on top, bake until melted.
Perfection.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•I replaced the caps that were disintegrating from a month or so ago!English
7·28 days agoI’m not that person from before, but that is still pretty dirty. Those shoulder buttons are yellow, the grey plastic seems to be covered in a film of what I assume is oil from a person’s hands, and what are those brown things on the side? I assume clips for some kind of rear protection.
That said, no drift yet is astounding. Even the people I know who baby their electronics experienced drift eventually. When did you get this? Curious if it’s a newer model and they made some changes.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google's AI Sent an Armed Man to Steal a Robot Body for It to Inhabit, Then Encouraged Him to Kill Himself, Lawsuit Alleges. Google said in response that "unfortunately AI models are not perfect."English
85·28 days agoThink of the dumbest person you know. Not that one. Dumber. Dumber. Yeah, that one. Now realize that ChatGPT has said “you’re absolutely right” to them no less than a half dozen times today alone.
If LLMs weren’t so damn sycophantic, I think we’d have a lot fewer problems with them. If they could be like “this could be the right answer, but I wasn’t able to verify” and “no, I don’t think what you said is right, and here are reasons why”, people would cling to them less.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•390TB video game archive being taken offline due to skyrocketing RAM, SSD, and hard drive prices — AI-driven supply squeeze results in closure of one of the largest online video game archivesEnglish
19·1 month agoGuess it’s time to archive Myrient. A group of people could take care of it - split it into categories, download, and then sit on it until a new host can be found.
Entire categories are easy to download with a simple curl call.

Technology@beehaw.org•What will happen if the Linux kernel starts having AI generated code in it?English
52·1 month agoIt won’t.


RHEL on servers, then either Debian LTS or Fedora on desktop. Been interested in Zorin OS but haven’t gotten around to trying it yet. Curious if their Windows application integration is as seamless as they claim.
