That’s probably why they’re modern design principles, UI’s were relatively new in 1999, and most people who used computers still knew how to work with the command line.

Same here, gets you an adequate phone which will last me at least 3 to 4 years. (I usually have to buy new because I broke the old one through my own fault)

I think that for a technological civilization to rise, you need some things to line up. First, life has to be evolved enough to have animals, beings with a brain. Then, a species has to evolve intellence to become a tool making species. This species also has to become the dominating species on the planet. Meanwhile, extinction events, ice ages, climate change and population bottlenecks are always influencing the evolution process.

This is for me the great filter, to have all these conditions line up perfectly for an intelligent, tool making species to evolve and thrive.

It’s probably a great hobby, with pleasantly little potential to turn into a side hustle.

Odroid has some nice boards, though I find them pricey.

Depends of your view of a long history I guess, I worked with OSX 10.5 for a few years, every time I wanted to install something I had to update the OS first.

The easiest to learn is the kazoo in my experience.

More serious: reading music isn’t nessecary to learn how to play an instrument. For instance, guitar can be played using tabs or even chord progressions.

My actual opnion is that they don’t want to think if they should, because they know the answer. The pressure to go public with a shitty model outweighs the responsibility to the people relying on the search results.

The site kissthisguy.com used to be a great source for this, but unfortunately today it’s mostly a place for lyrics which may also fit the song.

LLM’s may not have any intent, but companies do. In this case, Google decides to present the AI answer on top of the regular search answers, knowing that AI can make stuff up. MAybe the AI isn’t lying, but Google definitely is. Even with the “everything is experimental, learn more” line, because they’d just give the information if they’d really want you to learn more, instead of making you have to click again for it.

There are already organisms which can digest certain plastics. The problem (AFAIK) is they can digest other stuff more easily. So maybe in landfills ill work, not so much in nature were there’s other organic matter for the taking.

This article gives the impression that most people who studied English literature are now considered to be doing some equivalent of flipping burgers.

Who says the companies need to keep the servers running? The petition is “to keep games in a working state”.

“Yo dawg, I heard you like colliders, so we built a collider into your collider so it can collide while it collides…”

That makes more sense to me, thanks.

As a Dutchman, do other countries not have rental places everywhere? Over here every diy store has a rental department, I’d guess this is universal?

Wooden shoes

But salary does not equal labour cost.

Are you sure? Because that might say as much about you as about the people you know.

For me all the things you said about GIMP, but my biggest issue is how layers work in it. It is totally unintuitive to me. Last week I tried to edit some simple image in GIMP, basically pasting some small objects and touching them up. I couldn’t get it to work properly, and would probably have redone it in Photoshop if it was to be used by more than three people for a short period.
