Yes that happens, for some reason that user actively goes to FuckAI and bans people who posted there. I can only assume that they see disdain for AI as a personal slight.

I would go for something like Processing for students who are just trying to learn a bit of programming as an extra credit. The JS implementation is called p5.js. I would introduce a little bit of C later in the course once the students are familiar with basic programming concepts. That way you can show them what is happening behind the scenes without overwhelming them from the start.

I consider the ORM hate uninformed and misguided at best. Just like any other technology not all of them are created equally there are better ones and worse ones. I have used Entity Framework Core for years and have almost no complaints but If I only knew ORMs like NHibernate then I might have a different opinion.

I love that even the hardcore Windows enthusiasts are despising Microsoft's AI slop.

[–] e8d79@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes the mere existence of slop machines is totally forcing those developers to shit all over their painstakingly crafted creations and deliberately hiding it. Really hard to argue with that.

If its such a bother to create something without supporting these fascist enabling and thieving cunts that are all AI companies, maybe they should consider not doing anything at all.

Turns out GloriousEggroll who is best known for Nobara and GE-Proton is defending this shit as well.

Aubergines, cucumbers, kiwi, and citrusfruit are botanical berries as well. The correct answer is that berry should be seen as a culinary term just like fruit and vegetable.

The difference being that Motorola is a well established device manufacturer and not just a community project with minimal funding. Google using play integrity to exclude a competitor could be very easily seen as an abuse of market power and they already have problems with antitrust laws.

No alternative codecs wont do, the application we are building has a hard dependency on these specific dlls due to another dependency requiring them. It was also just one example of many excuse my hyperbole. Here is another one, try to get winget to work with a local package cache. You have to go to some third party developer for that. Want another one? How about debugging windows binaries in an offline environment. Reasonable requirement? Microsoft says no.

Why is this arbitrarily "a whole different story" and who said anything about UWP, it's the media codecs we depend on. Windows 10 N offered an offline installer for that "optional feature" and now Microslop makes my life more difficult for no reason at all.

 

Usually code contributions by various LLMs are easily identifiable because the agent is the author for the git commit. Mozilla on the other hand seem to be explicitly encouraging unattributed LLM code in Firefox. Also note jakearchibald, Mozillas AI spin doctor whenever devs question their intentions, lying about the reasons for this change. I think their true intentions are to muddy the waters to hide the amount of slop contributions in Firefox.

 

Q: "I find this message offensive and hostile."
A: Good. Please prompt your LLM to generate a customized, empathetic apology letter. We are currently out of sympathy, and our SLA for emotional support is 99 years.

 

Guess where I am not going to buy games any more.

 

BlishHUD is a 3rd party addon for GW2 that displays additional game information. It is quite popular but unfortunately it also was really hard to get running on Linux because on Windows it runs as a transparent window on top of the game. There are solutions for kwin that workaround that by using a shader but that lead to ugly artifacts around the BlishHUD windows. I recently found a project called external-dx11-overlay while searching for a better solution. It runs BlishHUD with a dx11 render hook inside of the game and from my testing so far it seems flawless.
