Yes thats true. However I always do say at least back then people had to learn and put time into music (even what we consider bad). There is a lot of great music now but the majority of the population wont hear it ever because they are brainwashed by Ai pop music. At least in ye olden day, good music that took talent was promoted (Boston, for example). The good news is now we have access to the old and the new music !
That is awesome. A little beyond me but I've played in docker a bit. Is a VPN needed to keep your ip from being exposed ?
Is just using an existing searxng instance just less secure then?
Its likely a very large percentage of people would choose to have been born earlier than they were if given the choice.
Not like 1912, but say 1979 instead of 2003 for a gen z. Now, if you would retain the knowledge you have now or not, thats up to the genie.
Live with autotune.
Can't describe how much I hate people covering and ruining amazing original songs. Should not be allowed.
Its gratingly bad. But people today do not understand good music anymore.
Umm, it's fucking hot garbage shit. Kids today haven't listened to Bridge over Troubled water all the way through, guaranteed. What a sad realization.
Hopefully unintalling and disabling is actually doing something. I feel like they are just tricking us and you can't really disable it.
You're right. They try to hide it from you.
Didn't organic maps change to comaps ?
I've tried liking co maps, but here wego works so much better, in the US..
Good. I love to hear about outages. Really wish all data centers would implode so we can be rid of this shit.
Its mostly for lost pets and being mad that a brown person existed near your neighborhood.
Yeah, people are lazy as fuck. They don't want to curate their own content. Which is fine, people work hard and just want bread and circus at the end of the day. I think it's OK for like minded individuals to be present on better platforms though, makes it a little easier to communicate I think.
Nfs hot pursuit 2 holds up insanely well. Ahead of its time. Gt2, ff12, musashi, crash bandicoot. Lot of ps2. Still play all my 2600 and nes and n64 games too
The more I read the more I think im somewhat autistic and not adhd.
Can't stand the building. I'll build in Minecraft and shoot in cs. No need to mashup!
Walking simulator...no fun for me
Same with me. Can't get into Pokémon. Love the show though. Same with zelda...super boring.
Sure, there's other factors, but even if they were exactly what voters wanted, there would be a stigma around it. I mean, even women hate women and actively vote to sabotage their own Healthcare so it's not really based on any logic. Maybe in 20 years when the olds are gone, and IF the youngs don't get brainwashed by Tate types, there could be a female president.
What nerd terms should one know while on lemmy?
Things we see all the time, but no one can really describe, like
Docker
Federated
Self host
Fork
Container
Instance
Flatpak
Tailscale
Distro
Wayland
Nginx
Etc.
Sure we can search but the terms are just so abstract I can't understand some of it.
*this is for helping some new users as well as myself -
Im going to look into this. What's the benefit of hosting your own searxng instance?
This is what I was saying to the poster above, that thinks there'd be no problem with a woman running. They clearly haven't been outside or even in 1 gaming lobby or they'd know how bad it is.
Something I noticed
Something from work I noticed today that will unfortunately become the norm.
If you gibbity an answer, you're regarded as smarter than someone who searched it. The funny part is I've actually given it a try, and it's wrong so often that it actually wastes my time. And, if it's right and I don't agree, I can say it's wrong, and with a 98% confidence level it changes the answer.
Side note, this is exactly why the fascist tech bros are pushing hard to shove this tech down our throats.
Having to search to do everything..
Not that I don't still love using linux daily, but it is getting a little old having to search for how to do anything even just install a simple program (recently, had a. Deb file to install unifi software that wouldn't install and had to find a custom script to do it).
I feel like there's no way I'd ever learn all the random commands I've been copying and pasting (and keeping in a text file for later) and can't help but feel it's kind of clunky. And I don't feel like I really know anything of what Im doing. Even man pages baffle me. I've been into computing for 20 years but only used linux a little like 8 years ago, but now it's been my main os on my desktops for probably 2 months. I know, maybe that's just not long enough. I just don't like the fact that if I couldn't search, I'd be completely stuck on a lot of tasks.
It it more common for us to love physical media?
Wondering if this is common with ADHD. maybe not only physical media but just things in general. I for one am not a fan that everything is digital and nonexistent so make it a point to own media I care about on physical copies.
Has anyone's job been asking them to utilize LLM's?
My work thinks theyre being forward thinking by shoving ai into everything. Not that we are forced to use it but we are encouraged to. Outside of using it to convert a screenshot to text (not even ai...thats just ocr) I haven't had much use for it since it's wrong a lot. Its pretty useless for the type of one off work I do as well. We are supposed to share any "wins" we've had but I'd sooner they stop paying a huge subscription to Sammy A.
What do you even do at a gym?
First off I have no clothes you'd ever wear to a gym. I wear jeans and a t shirt pretty much daily (think Hank Hill). Second, I don't get what you do there. I hated gym time in school (workout gym, not like throwing balls and running around gym, thats fun) and I don't get what you do. Run on a treadmill and lift some weights? I feel like I could do all of that at home. Gym memberships are insanely expensive. Are home workouts actually effective? Does one even enjoy gym time?
Your favorite learning resource for...Windows
No, im not trolling lemmy users..
So in looking for jobs, I do see a lot of them require windows server experience. I've been immersing myself fully in linux learning but figure that is kind of useless for me since a ton of places also use windows for networking.
Will many of the skills transfer? Are there specific large differences to watch for? Also, can one even mess with windows server since it's expensive and enterprise only?
I hand draw lines in CAD for design. What crazily outdated stuff do you do for work that seems hilarious ?
I've always thought this method was hilarious, but it's a very specific type of work that requires it. There's not much automation to be done since it's different every time. I also had a previous job where some days you'd have to count product in boxes all day long, and hand write the numbers (this was about 3 years ago).
What outdated things at your work do you find amusing?
We went from LEARN TO CODE to NO ONE LEARN TO CODE GET A CONSTRUCTION JOB in about a 3 year span.
I found this thought funny. A few years ago everyone was all learn to code so you don't lose your job! Now there wont be any programming jobs in 10 years. But we will need a lot of manual labor still.
Anyone else kind of disgusted at the waste created by going out to eat?
I could have titled this as just waste created by living daily, but wanted to focus it down a little more. I feel kind of like im the crazy one that sees this insane waste when eating at restaurants, wrappers, cups, drink carriers going right in the trash, billions per day. Its insanity if you think about it.
I've at least been never using cup lids or straws and never taking drink carriers when theyre offered (what a massive waste of cardboard!). Then most of the waste is at least paper from the bag and wrapper. Still not great. And yes, I know the solution would be "cook at home!" But that also wastes a lot of freshwater from dish washing, and sometimes it's just nice to eat somewhere else.
I wonder if this is just something you notice as you get older. Then again older peiple probably waste the most, but I'm just guessing.
PSA: VLC is awesome for radio and podcast streaming too!
After using VLC for over 15 years, I decided to explore a little more. I had no clue that it comes with thousands of internet radio stations on Icecast, as well as the ability to add all your podcasts into it (just need to find the link to your podcasts hosting service). I no longer use any streaming services (to me, they are criminal, plus they're full of ads and generally getting worse and more expensive every day)
Just wanted to let anyone know who may not know how much VLC can do!
Github- I don't get it!
I feel super dumb asking this. But what actually is and how does github (or similar sites) work? Are they all just source files one needs to manually compile? I am always confused when I look at a github page. I know some have directions but they still go way over my head sometimes. Im not a total noob but some of this stuff seems like you need to be in programming and have an IDE just to run a program.
Is moderately severe back pain really normal at 30?
I know it's a joke " oh haha you're 30, everything hurts now cuz you're so old!" But really, is something wrong with me or are backs just this stupid? Not overweight. Decently active although I don't exersize every single day. No genetic issues, doctor always says im in perfect health. But my lower back will randomly act up, sometimes it gets so bad that I about black out from the pain. Thats pretty rare though, usually it's just an ache all day when I move or try to put my socks on. Its not sciatica, as I never feel numbness or pain in my legs. Mild weakness maybe if it hurts really bad.
I feel like any doctor is just going to say welp, you're old it happens, or tell me I need 3.5 million dollar spinal surgery.
