Even for indexes I do index or something more specific for what it’s indexing. Any simple iteration I just do map or each so the only time I ever need to actually index things is for more complex scenarios in which case it’s worth it to have better names. Also with modem IDEs, auto complete is really good so you don’t need to write a full variable name more than once.

That sounds like ea making an excuse for why they were voted worst company. I don’t doubt that they got those emails and letters but I doubt that was the major reason they got voted worst. That was a year they had a lot of gaming controversies

Yeah, people need to post in a lemmy drama community or something, I’m sick of it and would like to read about something else.

Exactly. I don’t get why people are freaking out so much when it’s easy to create a new account and clients support multiple accounts anyways. Big instances are a big target so they need to protect themselves. On Reddit the piracy subs are neutered because they can’t link to anything. What’s good about the fediverse is you can have sub verses within it. It’s dumb to have your piracy account linked to your main account anyways.

They’re not just talking about piracy, they’re linking to it. There’s piracy subs on Reddit too and they’re allowed because they are very careful to only talk about it and not link to it, and they’re severely gimped because of that. What’s great about lemmy is that instances that are on with the risk can do so without having to follow anyone else’s rules and users can access it by simply having another account.

You can discuss and promote piracy, but lemmy.world is the biggest instance so hosting links up pirated content will get them shut down. The post is 100% right, just make multiple accounts. You want the illegal stuff distributed. What’s great about Lemmy is you can still have other accounts on those networks.

Dude, just make multiple accounts. Don’t use one account for everything or you’ll associate personally identifiable information with your piracy account.

Yes, because it’s illegal. If you’re going to be the biggest host you’re a bigger target which means you need to be more careful. What’s good about the fediverse is that you have distributed instances so smaller ones can support things like piracy, and if a small one gets taken down there will be others in its place. The same game of whack a mole is what has allowed torrent tracker sites to exist. If there was one centralized torrent tracker site it would get shut down.

What the post says is exactly right. You’d be an idiot to have one account for your normal usage and piracy usage. In your normal usage you’ll inevitably leak personally identifiable information. Having multiple accounts and multiple instances is the exactly right thing to do to keep piracy alive.

It’s usable with photogimp, but Photoshop still has better tools and filters.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a driver issue in Linux where something straight up didn’t work, except for printers (but I’ve had printer issues with Windows and osx too, so that’s more a printer than an OS problem). I have had to find different drivers when I want some very specific feature though. Really most of my issues with Linux are just because I’m trying to do something complicated in the first place. If I had simple usage I don’t think I’d have any problems at all, vs Windows where sometimes it just randomly fucks itself up.

For obscure problems I actually find it easier to solve issues on Linux. The problem with Linux support isn’t that it isn’t out there, it’s that there’s so many variations that it’s hard to know which one is right for your setup. It’s the main reason why I stick with Ubuntu forks.

You could just use vs codium as a fully open source option.

It’s similar to chrome. Chrome is not open source, its base project chromium is. The VSCode distributable has closed source stuff on top which is mostly telemetry. There’s a purely open source build of VSCode called vscodium.

To really be successful you need to be curious enough to want to understand things at a deep level. With LLMs people who don’t really care well learn even less than before.

Even with images, unless you’re looking for it most people will miss glaring problems. It’s like that basketball video psychology experiment.

The problem is definitely bigger with LLMs though since you need to be an expert to check the output for validity. I will say when it’s right it saves a ton of time, but when it’s wrong you need to know enough to tell.

Yes, LLMs are great as a research assistant if you know what to look for, but they’re a horrible learning tool. It’s even worse if you don’t know the correct way to search for an answer, it will set you down a completely wrong path. I don’t use any answer without cross referencing and testing it myself. I also rewrite most of the code it spits out too since a lot of it follows terrible programming patterns and outdated standards.

I’ve never used that much. I just assumed it was to look nice since a pea sized about would look silly in a picture. I think it I used that much my mouth would be so full of foam it would be uncomfortable

It’s great at directing and narrowing your search, and when it knows, it does a great job. Problem is when it doesn’t know it just makes shit up. I was using it earlier today to debug some error messages and it just came up with some non existent cli parameters. You still need to know what you’re doing and test everything first.

Why should anyone care? I don’t go around telling people every time I use stack overflow. Gotta keep in mind gpt makes shit up half the time so I of course test and cross reference everything but it’s great for narrowing your search space.

Wait what? I’ve never seen it, how does that make sense?
