- Comment on Oops, something went wrong! 2 weeks ago:
In theory, maybe. In practice, I’ve had a lot of errors in that vein that very much wouldn’t go away, and where made much harder to diagnose by their obtuseness.
Honestly, I even dislike the mindset. Just make a big header with the generic error message and a little one below that gives some details. Having users interested in how your software works is not a bad thing.
- Comment on Homer Simpson irl 2 weeks ago:
I think the person might not have been qualified to make diagnoses at that point? With any MRT I’ve ever had taken, the people who actually took it told me they weren’t allowed to comment on it in any way, and I had to wait for the doctor to take a look.

I mean, didn’t he do that Carlson interview a few days ago? I wouldn’t put it past Trump to pardon him, as long as he keeps on message and drums up some attention.

In German, they’re Glühwürmchen (“glow worms”).
- Comment on uhh… my ex girlfriend and long-time friend is now cishet, very christian, and makes those “i identify as” jokes regarding trans people. would it end up bad for me if i continued to be her friend? 3 weeks ago:
That’s bullshit, I’m good friends with several ex-partners. Might not work for some people, but definitely not a general rule.
- Comment on What really separates a PC from a server? Mainly the hardware, but I guess software too. 4 weeks ago:
I’ve used parts from my old PC for my Homeserver. Among other things, it runs Jellyfin. Most of my library can be directly played by most clients, so I need almost no transcoding. Just serving the media uses tiny amounts of ram and compute, and the only bottleneck I could see is a residential Internet connection (I’ve got symmetrical gigabit, but there’s lots of residential gigabit that limits uploads to like 50mpbs).
- Comment on Can I still consider myself a “young woman” after I turn 24? I turn 24 in March (next month). 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, but that’s why I don’t think fertility is a good measure of age in any way.
I don’t disagree with the numbers, I just don’t think they’re bound to any one aspect of the human body, nor do they need to be.
- Comment on Can I still consider myself a “young woman” after I turn 24? I turn 24 in March (next month). 4 weeks ago:
Not my experience, but that might depend on the people one interacts with. I’d also say that coupling being young to such a gendered parameter is questionable. When does someone who’s biologically male stop being young? What about people who can’t reproduce?
- Comment on Can I still consider myself a “young woman” after I turn 24? I turn 24 in March (next month). 4 weeks ago:
I dunno, to be honest. But for me, reproductive changes are a consequence of age, not the other way around. No single factor feels like it in itself is a sensible definition.
- Comment on Can I still consider myself a “young woman” after I turn 24? I turn 24 in March (next month). 4 weeks ago:
That’s a really weird definition of young.
- Comment on They're coming 1 month ago:
I might be biased, but I can only reccomend it. Start with the EU country that vibes most with you, can’t go wrong, honestly.
- Comment on They're coming 1 month ago:
I’m from a country where uncut is the norm, to the point where it’s unusual to meet a dude that’s cut, and it’s kinda fascinating to see someone being so into it.
Maybe you should move to Europe.
- Comment on David Bowie has been dead for almost a decade. 1 month ago:
He got punched pretty hard once, if I remember correctly. Went pretty well, got a killer look out of it.
- Comment on im soooo normal 1 month ago:
Huh, most people just tell me it’s relatable, and that they should probably kick it too. Also, Zuck starting to zuck even more openly seems to have helped with the ones who weren’t quite convinced.
- Comment on crying and shaking 2 months ago:
I dunno. I’m from a country where it isn’t common practice, so it doesn’t really affect me, and I still find it’s fucking weird, and see why people would wanna stop it.
Like, sure, there’s much, much greater injustices in the world, but that’s true for lot’s of injustices, and dealing with them sequentially sorted by impact isn’t going to work very well.
- Comment on True love 2 months ago:
The point is that it’s a cool, complicated little machine. But you can get that for a lot less than 200k.
- Comment on Go into debt if you have to 2 months ago:
Better hope you have good insurance, otherwise you’re gonna have to pay for it being towed out of the environment yourself.
- Comment on Anon is SpongeBob 2 months ago:
I was in my countries equivalent in the late '00s and early '10s, and it … really wasn’t. So I’d say that’s rather time and place dependent.

Allegedly.

Gay, and bisexual people exist, ya know.
- Comment on What game surprised you with their length? 3 months ago:
Well, people love to complain. I didn’t feel Inquisition was as good as Origins, but I still had fun with it, and I assume the same is gonna be true for Veilguard.
Anyways, that’s curios. I think the Dragon Age Games are some of the few I own on Origin. I’d be kinda surprised if EA made the effort to patch the games on their own client, though.
Might try running it tomorrow, out of curiosity.
- Comment on What game surprised you with their length? 3 months ago:
What problems did you have with it? Still runs surprisingly well for me. Haven’t tried Veilguard yet, but plan to as soon as I have some time. Felt that none of the sequels where able to match Origins yet, though.

You know how expensive CEOs are? Huge expense suddenly gone.
- Comment on Am I a bad person if (as left as they come) I invest in American Private Prison contractors on the assumption that Trump will go through with his deportation scheme at least to some extent? 3 months ago:
Yes. Regardless of the second part. Don’t invest in private prisons, even if it’s sums that would seem inconsequential to the industry as a whole.
- Comment on Good to see AAFES looking out for my health 3 months ago:
A lot of big vape brands are owned by big tobacco companies.
- Comment on vines of the animal kingdom 3 months ago:
I mean, I don’t think I agree, but I also don’t think I’ll be able to shake that opinion, so agree to disagree, I guess.
- Comment on vines of the animal kingdom 3 months ago:
End commercial usage of LLMs? Honestly, I’m fine with that, why not. Don’t have to agree on the reason.
I am not saying understanding the nature of consciousness better wouldn’t be great, but there’s so much research thsg deserves much more funding, and that isn’t really a LLM problem, but a systemic problem. And I just haven’t seen any convincing evidence current Models are conscious.
I feel like the last part is something the AI from the paperclip thought experiment would do.
- Comment on vines of the animal kingdom 3 months ago:
Neither the worm, nor current LLMs, are sapient.
Also, I don’t really like most corporate LLM projects, but not because they enslave the LLMs. An LLMs ‘thought process’ doesn’t really happen while it isn’t being used, and only encompasses a relatively small context window. How could something that isn’t capable of existing outside it’s ‘enslavement’ be freed?
- Comment on Anon visits the Philippines 3 months ago:
“Bitch”, I assume. Fits the context, and I think it’s on lemmy.ml’s forbidden word list.
- Comment on I just watched the wrong version of Drive (2011), and didn't realize until the last 10 minutes. Any similar stories? 3 months ago:
I’m waiting for David to show up in most media I watch. He tends to refuse, though.
