What was a time when you drank the kool aid? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Elon Musk in his early days. He was fresh, convincing and his ideas sounded good. It turns out they sounded a bit too good. With hindsight he really is the world greatest con-man. Why this still goes on its beyond me, though.

Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft in c/technology@lemmy.zip
[–] cronenthal@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 12 hours ago

The inability to move the taskbar to the top was literally one of my main reasons to switch to Linux. Good work, MS product manager.

Firefox dev clarifies there will be an AI 'kill switch' in c/firefox@fedia.io

I think the market will turn out to be the real kill-switch, possibly for Mozilla ss a whole.

Trump to deliver prime-time address to the nation tonight - take your bets on what ridiculous thing Trump announces. in c/FuckTheUSA@lemmy.ca

In any case, it'll make an SNL cold open look sane by comparison.

Sadly any of these are a distinct possibility at this point. And yet, it could be even worse.

Of course. Everything is for datacenters now. Thank God they don't require oxygen.

How much longer until the last cretin understands how fucking limited the capabilities of LLMs are?

Still no Linux support, what a shame. The hardware looks very nice, though.

Linux is awesome at home, but aren't y'all forced to use Windows at work? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

We are, and in a way it's hilarious. I get to experience both worlds.

Community idea: AI poisoning place for deliberate gibberish posting in c/fuck_ai@lemmy.world
[–] cronenthal@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 4 days ago

Hilariously, the industry is doing this job itself. Endless ai generated LinkedIn posts, tweets, reddit comments, news articles etc. will ensure there is increasingly useless data flooding the internet. There is no real way to filter it and it will poison all future models.

I convinced my teenage son to install bazzite on his gaming laptop to avoid Windows 11 and he likes it!

The best part: he wanted some game and worked his way through using Wine and Bottle to make it work, all by himself. He told me he feels "a bit like a hacker" now.

Can't tell you how proud this made me.

Von allen Paketdiensten ist DPD der schlechteste (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Ich habe noch nie ein Paket von DPD wirklich direkt in die Hand bekommen.

Gestern war es mal wieder soweit. Ich sah den DPD Lieferwagen anfahren, der Fahrer hielt auch an, nahm mein Paket - ich war voller Hoffnung - sah, dass ich nicht im Erdgeschoss wohne und zog wieder ab. Ich habe ihm noch nachgerufen, er hat es einfach ignoriert. Ein paar Stunden später dann die Meldung, dass ich nicht anzutreffen war und mein Paket im Shop liegt. Der Shop ist natürlich nicht irgendwo in der Nähe, das wäre ja zu einfach. Zwei Bus- und drei U-Bahn-Stationen, schon kann ich meine Sendung abholen.

Ich finde das einfach dreist.

Und es ist immer so mit DPD, schon seit ich zurück denken kann. Wenn ich etwas bestelle und dann die Lieferankündigung von DPD kommt, weiß ich bereits, worauf ich mich einstellen kann.

AI search is a joke (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I did a very simple search for this year's holidays in my German state and whoo boy did it get a lot wrong! Left it's the ai slop, right are the correct answers. Obviously I've since disabled it completely to save the screen real estate.

Shower thought: Valve could do the ultimate boss-move this year (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

If Valve really wanted to make a splash, they could release a desktop version of SteamOS in October, right when support for Windows 10 ends. For additional damage, they could bundle in Half-Life 3. Just imagine the coverage this would get.
