killswitch doesn’t work because packets can still get through between the time when the VPN goes offline and when it activates, need to bind torrent client to vpn or have some firewall configuration to prevent non-vpn traffic

As long as they aren’t putting ridiculous terms on model usage like SD3 and the weights are provided I’m happy with it

This often happens to me on Windows with the Index so it might not even be a Linux specific issue

I’m not sure how you’d tell unless there is some reputable source that claims they saw this search result themselves, or you found it yourself. Making a fake is as easy as inspect element -> edit -> screenshot.

Yeah but it’s funny in a different way; they are giving ignorant and condescending advice because while big cats have impressive hunting abilities, they don’t normally hunt mice.

entertainment where you can laugh at how they put effort into creating an illusion of professionalism but left enough gaps to make it clear it was just an illusion and he’s in way over his head

I liked the time when he tried to use linux and ended up destroying his os by blindly following googled command line instructions

it’s called milliseconds since epoch

The way blocking works on Reddit is awful and is frequently abused, so I’d rather not see Lemmy go in that direction.

If you happen to forget the -m though, you may also need to have mastered exiting vim

I do like the idea of streamlining donations to open source projects directly through a package manager, and crypto seems like a good fit for that (decentralized, uncensorable). The issue here seems similar to knowing what charities are properly using funds; making a system to make decisions about how to spend money is hard when there’s so many people looking to misdirect it to themselves, and the point of this would be to relieve the people who would be donating the money from putting effort into doing the research themselves, so that big problem has to be solved.

This has also been happening to me, but it’s inconsistent. I have been using FreeTube instead of a browser for links to get around the issue.

I don’t think it has to be a sad thing. Without that sort of structure you can be more imaginative, which has many advantages. Again, I don’t want to be an engineer, I feel that would suck all the joy out of it and just isn’t my style. That isn’t to say an engineering approach to programming doesn’t exist or isn’t useful/necessary in some cases, but I would say it isn’t the norm and probably shouldn’t be.

What makes something engineering vs not? Personally what I do doesn’t feel like engineering because I imagine engineering as being about following a particular process and doing things in a very cautious and structured way, where programming is normally way more chaotic.

Programmers mostly aren’t really engineers and that’s ok. I don’t want to be an engineer.

This must be one of those people whose hobby is watching live car chases

Being polite is better than not being polite, but the way I see it, all user complaints are valid and are better not taken personally if possible. Maybe you as the developer didn’t do anything wrong that contributed to their problem, or are not actually in a position to resolve whatever their problem is, but it’s worth keeping in mind the bigger picture: how well peoples computers work to benefit their lives.

If someone is getting upset that they have to spend time troubleshooting, maybe because they didn’t understand something or made a mistake, there’s definitely other people going through the exact same less-than-ideal experience and not saying anything about it. That’s information about the state of how well things are working and it’s better for it to be out there in some form than not.

Idk, often when I see someone with pronouns in the username I hover over the name to check the instance, and normally if they’re being an asshole in the comment it’s hexbear and if they’re being nice and reasonable it’s blahaj, so to me it doesn’t seem quite the same.

A year ago local LLM was just not there, but the stuff you can run now with 8gb vram is pretty amazing, if not quite as good yet as GPT 4. Honestly even if it stops right where it is, it’s still powerful enough to be a foundation for a more accessible and efficient way to interface with computers.

Modern version of this will be ChatGPT jailbreak messages

So what do people think of TPM, supposedly why they’re doing this?
