I think it makes sense. I like ChatGPT and I appreciate having easy access to it. What I really wish is the option to use local models instead. I realize most people don’t have machines that can tokenize quickly enough but for those that do…

How do they prove your age? Non-technical savvy people probably just give their kids a phone and don’t do much to lock it down.
Nah it’s literally a waste of physical resources. Crypto currency is a waste of fossil fuels. AI has its functions at least.
For me it’s a pattern of “Ctrl+t” to open a new tab and then I search “my interesting query”. After that, I use “shift+tab” or “Ctrl+shift+tab” to navigate between tabs. Rinse and repeat until I get tired.
I don’t like searching in my current tab because I don’t want to lose the info I have.
I didn’t until apps started breaking. The snap version of steam, Firefox, and Unity (I think?) all started to have issues. When I googled around people would often ask “deb or snap”? I uninstalled the snap packages and installed the deb packages and most of my issues went away.
I ultimately switched to Linux Mint because I kept having stability issues and I was just desperate for a solution. But snap was not a great experience for me.
Yeah the majority do it and I think it’s bad.
Thermostats are easy to change out. So this isn’t a huge deal. But I don’t love the idea that tech isn’t built to be self-hosted or maintained in any meaningful way. If you’re not shipping an open source version of your software when you close up, you’re an asshole.
Yeah, self hosting isn’t for most lay people if it’s just a GitHub repo. But GitHub repos quickly become adopted by nerds like me who build tooling around it that eventually let lay people self host software with the click of a button.
did you even read the full thread which provides the context you’re neglecting?
No.
Oh yeah for sure I could use virtual desktops in addition. But a single monitor doesn’t accomplish what I said. Hence why I brought it up as a counter point.
Yeah I guess you could do something completely different than what I said.
Yeah I can do both. Most movies are dialogue forward so I’m not always watching the screen. And then when there is a break in my game (loading screens, waiting for something to happen, mindless tasks) I can watch the screen. I only do it with games like Minecraft, Satisfactory, Cities Skylines, etc.
Watch a full screen movie while you do something on another monitor. Virtual desktops can’t do that.
This is only for deleting your entire account. Not deleting an individual image from your post history. At least there’s a solution for now.
What’s the end goal here? You should be able to use fstab to mount the drive to a particular folder on every boot. That should allow you to access the mounted folder consistently.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I guess that’s why I asked. I’m just curious if it’s even possible.
Is there a perfect scheduler that is non-optimal in the Big(O) sense but is optimal if you’re looking at maximizing hardware utilization? In other words, scheduler that takes a long time to determine CPU utilization for each process, but provides an optimal total CPU utilization? I realize that it would not be ideal since we’d essentially have these “sudden stops” as it recalculates the schedule. I’m just more interested in the theory.
Oh that is news to me. I always assumed a partition was all it needed.
The common thread I’ve seen online is this:
These two tools are quickly becoming coupled for Google-Fu expert users. The historical forum history that goes back 3-5 years on Reddit is their goldmine. You can’t just make a new subreddit overnight when a sub gets paywalled. All of that historical data will be lost and paywalled.
I think a paywall could be an effective money maker for Reddit because they’ve basically become their own Google - in that each subreddit acts like a unique website with real, human, responses. The only problem is that reddit has a god awful search algorithm that they refuse to improve. So people use Google to essentially search reddit. The “whales” so-to-speak are the only people they need to capture. People like myself (frugal people) aren’t in their peripherals. But the people that think “I’ll pay each month for NYT” or “it’s just a few dollars for the WSJ” are going to use the same logic for Reddit: “it’s a small amount of money to have access to high quality forums on X, Y, and Z”.
In addition, this might bolster Reddit’s content even further. Since paywalled subs will automatically reduce the amount of AI content spammed on them, they will inherently increase the legitimacy of each forum.
Lastly, this will give them a path towards monetization for moderators which doesn’t require them skimming off of their own pay checks to achieve it.
Do I like this? No. Is this fair? Also no. People contributed to Reddit under the impression that their data would be available and accessible to anyone with an Internet connection. That implicit guarantee is being violated. It’s an afront to the hard working individuals that have developed these communities brick by brick.
But does this “solution” make a lot of business sense? Possibly. As long as they survive the changeover in the short term, I think they’ll thrive from this choice for the reasons I stated above.
Again, it’s going to give them a pathway for:
I’m pretty much over Reddit anyways. Lemmy has been my backup social media for a while now. The Internet is still free - for now. I just hope we can all find better search engines and forums in the future. Google has been degrading. Reddit has been locking things down. We obviously need to pivot to other platforms. Or maybe just go back to the old days where you find niche forums hosted by some dude in his basement. Nothing wrong with that.
