Even in 2024, so many pcs people regularly use are utter shite. It’s gotten to the point where people just expect it to take 5 seconds for the ui to respond to anything and consider it an unchangeable fact of life.
It took a lot of effort the other day to convince a boomer that Edge freezing then crashing while using it and losing all the data was actually, in fact, undesirable and unintended behavior.
The internet has slowly become more and more useless over time since the pandemic. It’s fucking impossible to find anything now. Half the time it’s like I have better luck doing an lan search on my home network than looking it up on Google and I’m not even very deep into the self hosted everything rabbit hole.
It’s like they want us all to be stupid, uninformed and not know how to do anything.
Vaccines are important but a primary reason I’m voting for Harris is because if she doesn’t win, this could be the last election. There are morons voting for Trump just because they think they’re getting “revenge” for the existence of trans people by voting red. Both sides have wildly different priorities.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
C9H9N smells like poo

Wow what a couple of freaks. I bet they probably even sleep in the same bed. Who tf does stuff like that. This is the biggest scandal that has ever been posted on lemmy.
Possession of marijuana is already illegal in Japan. Now they’re sending anyone to prison that’s tests positive for thc metabolites. Boycott these fascists, don’t buy stuff from Japan and don’t support Japanese companies if you can help it.
I’m going to boycott everything having to do with Japan from now on then. Putting people in jail over thc metabolites is absolutely wrong and absolutely unacceptable.
Polishing cloth compatibility? Does using a non apple screen wiping cloth brick the phone now?
Tired of waiting 2 seconds for hyperpi to download? Simply do infinity calculations by hand and some basic algebra. Cut out the middle man. Thanks, internet!
The CIA got 'em
Delaying pc release that fucking long. What consoles are they even trying to force people to buy? Consoles have become kind of a niche thing, now everyone has macbooks and pcs. Nvidia graphics cards have replaced the console pyramid scheme. Will Nvidia even allow them to do this? They develop the game on pc for fuck sake.
If I play the game at all I’m pirating it. There is no acceptable reason to release the pc version 18 months after the console version. Are there even going to BE any consoles out in 2026 that can run the game?
I’m on lemmynsfw because I like to argue about how shitty society is between wanks
That’s why you connect an arduino to the motherboards reset pin and load it with a program where it resets the system if it doesn’t receive an ACK signal over the usb connection every 10 minutes.
Eventually though the networking and apache stops working after around 150 days so you also have to make a script that resets the system after 30 minutes of not having network.
What if we switch to electric numbers?
I sprinkle helium 3 on my breakfast cereal every morning. Sure, it’s wasteful but don’t tell me how to live my life.
One of the few things they’re good at is academic “cheating”. I’m not a fan of how the education industry has become a massive pyramid scheme intended to force as many people into debt as possible, so I see ai as the lesser evil and a way to fight back.
Obviously no one is using ai to successfully do graduate research or anything, I’m just talking about how they take boring easy subjects and load you up with pointless homework and assignments so waste your time rather than learn anything. My homework is obviously ai generated and there’s a lot of it. I’m using every resource available to get by.
I think usually it’s just about costing the competitors money to try and fuck them. That’s the payment. 3ds max is priced unfairly and it’s unreasonable, that’s why Blender exists. Autodesk bought eagle cad, made it cost money, that’s why KiCad got made. I take pride in supporting open source everything in protest of how enshittified the world has become. It harms those corporations when more people use open source which is a cause I can get behind.
Ai is excellent at completing low effort ai generated Pearson programming homework while I spend all the time I saved on real projects that actually matter. My hugging face model is probably trained on the same dataset as their bot. It gets it correct about half the time and another 25% of the time, I just have to change a few numbers or brackets around. It takes me longer to read the instructions than it takes the ai bot to spit out the correct answer.
None of it is “good” code but it enables me to have time to write good code somewhere else.
I made a similar thing on my home network. It uses php’s built in file upload and runs in the web browser so you don’t even need an app. It’s just basic beginner level html and php in 2 files that goes on my lan server. Makes it super easy to transfer files between phones, windows pcs and Linux pcs.
I gave up on fighting with windows pcs to try getting them to connect to samba shares a long time ago and you’ll never access a samba or windows network share on a smartphone without paying money for some shitty app anyway. Despite this relatively low-tech solution it ends up being more practical just because it’s easy and convenient.
