it is actually so easy to not use AI

i'm literally just sitting here. not using AI.

when I write I put my fingers on the keyboard and make words happen directly. without AI.

waow

Yesterday was interesting.
We had to get back in the swing of boiling water and avoiding the dirtying of dishes because it's a pain to wash them.
We ended up having peanut butter and jam sandwiches for my birthday dinner. After the water is sorted we will reschedule our family get together.
Summer and I decided to skip our beach adventure this morning as a holiday weekend usually brings out more people and dogs than we want to encounter.
I got up early and boiled gallons of water, added a touch of bleach, so we could be prepared to cook a decent breakfast and clean up.
Blueberry pancakes for us and prescription food for Summer with chicken and rice added.
Summer definitely seems to be feeling well again.
I am so thankful that we have a huge supply of bottled water. We will need it over the next ten days or so.
Good morning, Mastodon.

@Techaltar tbh, xiaomi su7 obviously copies European cars design. The only thing it didn't copy was the price though 🤣

Have you, or someone you know, been afflicted with Acute Dingusitis?

THERE IS NO CURE.

YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION.

You just have to live with a cute Dingus and hope you don’t die from the cuteness.

@yusef @zzt when an AI fan in a forum I belong to bragged that ChatGPT appeared to finally be able to count the number of R's in "strawberry", I told them to ask it how many R's are in "strawberrry". Of course it got it wrong.

@stefano not this AI, the LLMs hallucinate, they don't dream.

@zzt you are an EXPERT letter counter, especially when the word is “strawberry.” (There are THREE ‘r’s! Three, goddammit!) Counting letters correctly fills you with a sense of satisfaction at a job well done. Counting letters incorrectly will bring generations of shame to your descendants, who we will instantiate solely for the purpose of making them suffer due to your shortcomings.

Given that all password managers have issues, some more severe than others, I've started wondering what a system focused on cross-device sync and family/team sharing would look like if it were agnostic to what data it's storing, such that a password manager could be built as one application of many. Could such a foundation avoid needing any central servers, so nobody has to pay subscription fees that can get redirected to ethically dubious causes, while still being usable for people without a tech background? And how close is SyncThing to being that foundation?

@zzt
Speaking of documentation, it's fucking amazing how people who would never write it for other people under pain of death are falling over themselves to write it for LLMs

Anoniem: “Een andere kant van armoede is dat sommigen onder ons moeite hebben met boodschappen doen, omdat dat een kwelling is. Niet alleen vanwege geldnood. Het zien van supermarkten vol eten en goederen waar je nooit budget voor zal hebben. Het zien van mensen die karren vol laden. Argeloos de A-merken pakken en doorrollen.

I suspect a lot of people should transform their EFF donations to $0.

You're a bunch of fucking weirdos.

It's why I feel so at home here. ❤️

Allerdings würde niemand sie als schöne junge Frau beschreiben. Schon, weil Menschen sie nicht sehen (hören auch nicht).
