The US sets the pace, and the EU has no choice but to react at that pace. In Trumps world view there are no allies, only exploitable resources and enemies. International relations erode quickly when souvereign countries are threatened to either bend the knee or be treated as an enemy.
I don’t like LibreOffice as the only open source Office software that seems to compete with Microsoft. It feels bloated and outdated and for years and years I have display problems with it. The community answers to problems are often written by arrogant pricks.
However, at the pace Microsoft Office is deteriorating with all that copilot crap LibreOffice begins to look better every day. They don’t even have to do anything for it.
You got that totally wrong. In fact we replaced dog shit with horse shit.

I feel your pain. Our parent company has set a ridiculous goal of replacing 50% of processes with AI. As a developer I know that our processes are mainly based on automation. Systems that do automatic data processing without any human interference. AI can’t make this process any more efficient than it already is. And yet these clowns demand we change it to involve AI. The fun part is that they appointed me of all people to oversee this AI transformation for our unit. Fun times ahead and my only hope is early retirement.
Compared to Spotify’s artist/song radio feature, Qobuz attempt at radio is absolutely horrible. They seem to sort everything into a literal handful of genres. The “similarity” seems to stem from song features like “has a singer” and “uses chords”. I switched from Spotify to Qobuz a few months ago, it’s comparable in available content, has much better audio quality but is severely underwhelming for discovering new music.
Similar to the crypto hype. Adoption is imminent, bro. Just a few more months, bro. Please, bro
Did this Microsoft tactic ever work in their favour? Forcing people to use things they don’t like? Internet Explorer, Edge, Bing Search, AI and so on. I think it’s not a long-term success story. Also, why focus on tool usage instead of actual goals.
TL;DR 640x480
This should be illegal. We had webcams like this 20 years ago. But Nintendo customers seem to enjoy outdated hardware. It’s a tradition at this point
I personally try to reverse smartphone usage. Got myself a dumbphone and try to use a computer for everything else. The reasoning behind this is, I want it to be a conscious decision to do internet things at a defined physical place, instead of mindlessly using the smartphone everywhere. This should encourage me to reconnect to the world around me.
I’m still in a transition phase though.
That’s an excellent idea, particularly because that service would use AI against the type of people who typically shill or welcome AI products. Let’s build more of those.
This is a train wreck from beginning to end, with only one winner: Trump.
It was stupid to call for an impeachment vote in the first place, because it had zero chance to succeed. It’s quite lame as a symbolic gesture too, because a failure is a failure in the books no matter what the intentions are. And you put your own party members in a position where they can only lose either way. This is terrible from a political strategy standpoint unless your explicit goal is to divide the party, which in turn weakens the party even more. A sad and unnecessary shit show all the way. The only hope left is that Trump dies laughing.
This might be the wrong place to ask. But anyway, can someone please explain the difference between Lemmy and PieFed to me? I’ve searched a bit and it seems that both are doing roughly the same thing, but with a different fediverse protocol or something?
Why am I even reading that? It’s just more of the same vile shit to distract from the real issues. It’s all the same and it always begins by giving me an “option” to “customise my cookie choices”. Hell, I already feel conditioned to a hopeful longing that, on the next popup page i’ll be allowed to “reject all" to finally be able to consume the meaningless depictions of hate and stupidity.
Sorry for the rant.
Taking a bath in style
That’s a very long answer to my snarky little comment :) I appreciate it though. Personally, I find LLMs interesting and I’ve spent quite a while playing with them. But after all they are like you described, an interconnected catalogue of random stuff, with some hallucinations to fill the gaps. They are NOT a reliable source of information or general knowledge or even safe to use as an “assistant”. The marketing of LLMs as being fit for such purposes is the problem. Humans tend to turn off their brains and to blindly trust technology, and the tech companies are encouraging them to do so by making false promises.
Well, they are quite bad from a UI/accessibility perspective. While looking nice and fancy, it can be difficult to read the contents and makes it harder to identify information. That’s totally fine as an optional feature for those who like it, but the default should be a clean and easily accessible design.
It’s funny how people always quickly point out that an LLM wasn’t made for this, and then continue to shill it for use cases it wasn’t made for either (The “intelligence” part of AI, for starters)
This article expresses opinions which are so dumb that it hurts.
Thinking that Trump is “anti-establishment” was fucking stupid to begin with. As a millionaire he is by definition part of the elite.
And if it takes the Epstein case to realize that you have been duped you’re also a bit late to the party. They have been taking everything they can from you and gave it to the rich for months now, and there is no end in sight. Enjoy working those shit jobs for minimal wages. Those that were previously done by immigrants which you wanted to see deported.
Also the whole gullible MAGA male problem is not limited to Gen Z. Being a dumb fuck is a fun activity for the whole family.
