  • I am not really versed in federation. I just use beehaw and I treat it like a standalone website.

    Even though I am writing about Emacs, I am not really that technical. I didn't even know these groups existed since they're not listed here. I just kinda use the website :/

  • Crunchyroll accidentally confirmed it uses ChatGPT for subtitles

  • Sure. But company policy and failure to regulate employees are different things. They are both bad but they are not the same.

    Jump

  • Although it seems likely that Crunchyroll uses an LLM for translation in some way, I wouldn't call that "confirmed" since that might be the result of an individual translator using it.

  • Is that the best you can do? Put some effort into it.

  • Yeah... I used to date plus size women exclusively. Now I am married to one. I had to go throught lots of skinny women to find what I wanted.

  • If there was an Emacs group on this website I would certainly post there instead. In any case, Emacs is a well-known FOSS project, and Org-Roam is very popular among Emacs user.

  • Org-roam is "a plain-text personal knowledge management system" for Emacs inspired by Roam Research.

  • I'm 42, dude. Limited mental energy. I would gladly be part of your server, though ;)

  • My impressions of Bear Blog

    Jump

  • That is way over my head as I am genuinely a non technical user. I tried many times to have a statistic page and every time I failed. It may be hard to believe but some things that are trivial for hackers are not trivial for most people. For years, my domain name was going to waste. So my choice was between having a webpage on someone's server or none at all. If a professional programmer wish to dedicate their very valuable time to make a static page for me for free, I'm all ears :) Until then, Bear Blog seems rather reasonable.

  • Amazon cloud boss echoes NVIDIA CEO on coding being dead in the water: "If you go forward 24 months from now, it's possible that most developers are not coding"

    Jump

  • That was a a fairly short article reporting on another article. The title gives the impression that the assertion was made with certainty when the actual quote makes it clear that this was meant as speculation, a calculated guess made on a conversation that was not meant to be public. I truly have no inclination to defend corporate leadership, but perhaps it would be more productive to direct our sentiments towards the article that is being quoted instead.

  • People who wear glasses, what are some things someone new to glasses should know?

    Jump

  • For years I was the only one in my family that didn't wear glasses. When the doctor told me I needed glasses, I was so happy. I found glasses distinct, elegant, and, in girls, very very cute (my wife just started wearing glasses... wowza!).

    My "real" me, the one I like and recognize in the mirror, has glasses on. And it's not one of those glasses that pretend they're not even there -- it's a thick black frame that dominates and complements my face.

    I could totally get away with not wearing glasses in some situations, but (1) I like the visual comfort, and (2) I love wearing glasses.

    Get the glasses that make you feel like yourself.
