Lemmy seems to be anti-AI, at least from my impression, but I am hopeful that AI will help invigorate the open source software world. If people can code better, faster, cheaper, safer (more secure) that will surely apply to open source as well. AI coding tools could bring on the Linux mainstream revolution. Imagine thousands of autonomous agents refining software for Linux. There could be a glut of driver support, apps coming to Linux, and so much more. I am hopeful about it.

A little kindness goes a long, long way.

Yes, he's so orange, I can see him being painted with Cheetos flavored Cheetos!!

From that, to 1 TB on a microSD the size of a fingernail. Impressive!

I remember reading about the 'first' 8-core CPU by AMD around 2012. My how times have changed. I'm now rocking a 16-core CPU!

Also, computers are so much better and more reliable than 20 years ago. Remember how frustrating they used to be compared to now??

Imagine how much work it would be to vaccinate 1,000,000+ chickens in those big factory farms...

Troth Sential!

Yes!! Was hard to find a PC with the logo still on it by the time we graduated!

Oh my! So cute!!

I'm back to report my findings. I covered over the light with electrical tape, but I hit a problem. Now my remote control doesn't work.

They've combined the IR sensor with the LED that flashes when there is no internet connection present. The clever bastards clearly thought of this ahead of time.

This is malicious design.

You're right. Might as well do it. Stop letting them harvest my data. I just hope there isn't some sort of persistent pop up or anything annoying.

My smart TV flashes a light until it has been connected to the Internet 🙃

I've heard that the commercial display panels are more expensive, because they're geared towards enterprise use.

I've been working out at home, but I'm considering joining a gym as well. I'm glad you were able to do it!

We are the ones with 'invisible illnesses'. They are every bit as real as a physical disability, or other organs/body systems not working.

You don't tell someone to 'man up' when they have diabetes, so why say it to someone who has a mood disorder?

I feel your pain! Sometimes I feel like I'm 'unworthy' of being helped. I try to remind myself that it's not my fault my brain doesn't work right, and there are tons of people out there who have no issue helping people like me, like us.

I would abolish toilets without bidets. You would be legally required to have a bidet in all bathrooms, private and public. Worldwide!

I think of a Lemmy account on an instance the same as an email address: it doesn't really matter which one you pick. Pick one that works best for you. Yes, you are beholden to the instance, but it's the same with Gmail, Outlook, GMX, etc. They can close your account at any time, but they likely won't.

Of course it does matter a bit what instance you pick: you want one that is well-federated with other communities that will have content/users you will enjoy engaging with. I'm pretty sure you can visit a list on each instance that shows what instances it is federated with.

Is measles going to become a large problem again? Because it sounds like it is.
