Inside McDonald’s push to have AI price your Big Mac in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] tonyn@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

They already have different prices for different McDonald's. Whether they use AI or an employee comparing spreadsheets makes little difference, except perhaps to that employee. We used to get the bundle box routinely from one mcdonalds until we realized that very same item was like $4 cheaper across town. That one is further so now we just rarely get McDonald's.

anyone play wobbly life? in c/games@lemmy.world

Our youngest got us to start helping him with wobbly life and we have been completing everything with him after each new update. It took some getting used to, and a lot of four player grinding with him and his brother but he has everything complete and owns the best mansions. It's a cute game.

The Death Of The Button: Why The Best Interface Is No Interface in c/webdev@programming.dev
[–] tonyn@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You simply can't get most people to accurately and completely express their intent. Most people will express very few necessary details. "Find me a flight" will be what you get. Not "Find me a nonstop flight from Atlanta to Anchorage on September 27th after 4pm". People will leave out the details and you'll have to give them buttons and autocomplete anyway. I agree with simplifying complex processes with simple decisions but expecting average people to accurately express their intent is a fool's errand.

I've taken to storing it for craft projects. Recently I had the kids fill ornaments with the poo. It was great fun!

Recommend me a distro? (lemmy.ml)
 

I am considering moving away from Ubuntu, but I haven't tried other distributions for years. I started on Linux Mint Cinnamon back in 2012, but switched to Ubuntu when I built my current PC in 2020 because I wanted more up-to-date packages. Now I am faced with needing to replace my SSD which gives me reason enough to install a new distro. I have an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X with 32G of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, so I would need something that plays nicely with nvidia. I routinely use libreoffice, digikam, gimp, virtualbox, bambu studio, sublime text, filezilla, thunderbird, minecraft, steam, Open WebUI and Stable Diffusion (Automatic1111). I liked Ubuntu because it was familiar, fairly easy to customize, and everything was kept fairly well up to date. I am not a big fan of snap, and I would prefer a more logical and unified package management system. I was wondering if you all had some recommendations for me. Thanks

The second dark age (lemmy.ml)
 

And thus began the second dark age. In the 21st century, the election of Donald Trump triggered a chain of events that ceased scientific progress globally. Environmental stewardship gave way to rampant consumption and dirty industry. Women once again became subjugated to property and lost all human rights. Logic and reason was forgotten and replaced with conspiracy theories and superstition. Over the next few centuries tribalism and the decay of modern society played out against the backdrop of now unstoppable climate change, which was largely attributed to superstitious causes by small groups of devolved humans living in filth amongst the ruins of a once great civilization.

Help me with a rotating firesafe data backup (lemmy.ml)
 

I have between 20-30 TB of data I want to keep a copy of in a firesafe. I do not want to use an online storage solution, I want to maintain my personal data at my home.

My current plan is to get (2) Mediasonic HFR2-SU3S2 PRORAID enclosures and (8) WD Red Pro NAS 16TB drives to fill them. The first would contain a full backup and be placed in the safe. The second would be attached to my machine and receive nightly backups. Periodically, I would rotate the enclosures, taking the one from the safe and swap it with the one connected to my machine.

Are there any problems with my plan that I am not thinking of? Are there better solutions?

Is anyone else keeping a rotating data backup in a safe? How is it working out for you?

I printed a Homer disappearing into the bushes sponge holder on my Ender 3 Pro. (lemmy.ml)
 

I downloaded a model but the Homer had several model flaws and the sponge base didn't fit my sponges so I designed my own. I basically kept only the spout.

I started with a PNG of Homer disappearing into the bushes. I cleaned it up a lot in gimp, then used adobe's PNG to SVG converter, which I'll say works very well. Brought that into inkscape and cleaned it up even more. Separated him into colors, pulled them into tinkercad at different heights, then printed him with 4 color changes.
