Curiosity I guess, but I have pretty much dabbled with Linux for different things since the early 2000s. Maybe even the late 90s.

7·4 months agoI enjoyed FH5, but FH4 was better. 5 is the onky one I don’t actually own yet, I basically did everything at launch during a Gamepass trial. I plaued FH4 almost daily for like a year or more.

5·4 months agoWhat I don’t understand. Like, they know people hate shitty ads.
If they had like, literally any level of vetting on the ads, people might actually watch them. But its all fucking scams or podcasts of lies pretending to be ads etc.
I know it costs money to have people but sales people serve a purpose.
It detects if you look away from the 67 ads and starts over if you do.

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Podcast Discussion | Star Trek: Khan | 1x03 "Do Your Worst"English
2·4 months agoSo what are the odds it was those bug things from Wrath of Khan?
I really hate all these snaps and flatpacks and docker and blah blah blah.
Its about impossible to find a simple series of commands to just install and run some program anymore.
I also keep running into issues, especially with Docker where it assumes its the only thing that exists and everything uses the same port.
They can, get a set with numbers ane arrows, move the arrow each time you pass.
Also, what happens if your device with the passkey fails?
Like the drive craps out?

Technology@lemmy.world•AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon studyEnglish
1·7 months agoThe entire concept of agents feels like its never going to fly, especially for anything involving money. I am not going to tell and AI I want to bake a cake and trust that will find the correct ingredients at the right price and the door dash them to me.

Technology@lemmy.world•AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon studyEnglish
72·7 months agoBecause, more often, if you ask a human what “1+1” is, and they don’t know, they will just say they don’t know.
AI will confidently insist its 3, and make up math algorythms to prove it.
And every company is pushing AI out on everyone like its always 10000% correct.
Its also shown its not intelligent. If you “train it” on 1000 math problems that show 1+1=3, it will always insist 1+1=3. It does not actually know how to add numbers, despite being a computer.

5·7 months agoI find its good at making simple Python scripts.
But also, as I evolve them, it starts randomly omitting previous functions. So it helps to k ow what you are doing at least a bit to catch that.
Yeah, I have a lot of droughts of work. But also, my job is babysitting a little data center. If I don’t have things to do, its technically a good thing because it means everything is working right.
I also get a lot of praise from management for how great I am at my job, ahich feela really weird sometimes because I have had weeks where I basically did nothing. Hell in December we have a lot work freezes so nothing breaks and all the routine work for the year is done so sometimes jts an entire month of basically nothing.
I often spend the time learning new stuff so thats kind of work related.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What grocery items are always worth the extra $1-$5?English
4·7 months agoYeah, even just growing them are better. I thought I hated Cherry Tomatoes, but then I had some off my own plant and they taste so good.




There are some games I sometimes play that don’t work. Fortnite, Infinity Nikki, maybe Overwatch.
I also like using One Drive for syncing around and accessing files and it works well with my NAS. I have not really got it working at all in Linux.
On my laptop, when not connected to my home network, the file browser (I tried several) hangs terribly terribly bad when opening it because it can’t find the network drives in my fstab file. It was bad enough I just took them out and manually browse to the folders if I need to by IP.
I really like Affinity Photo and have a paid copy from before it went free. I can’t get it working in Limux on my laptop. I absolutely HATE GIMP, do not sughest GIMP. The UI has been dog shit for forever (I have tried using it off and on for ages now, like, decades, if its been around that long). Its garbage.
