Pro tip: If you find large mysterious eggs on a derelict space ship, ALWAYS inspect them very closely. They tend to contain some really cool stuff. Mind-blowing, transcendental best stuff ever. I'm talking, like, way too legit to be legit, feel me? If you see movement inside, be sure to place your head close to the top of the egg. You should try to smell the egg or even give it a lick.

  • The terminology is a bit confusing, so let’s clarify. What you really have is just one mailbox, not many. It acts as a catch-all mailbox for all mail sent to any addresses under your domain. You just need to set up folders and sorting rules to keep things tidy.

    So let’s say you bought cool.tech and you made a single mailbox like inbox@cool.tech. Nobody sends mail there specifically, but that’s where it all goes because it’s a catch-all address. All the other addresses mail is sent to were never explicitly created, but they can receive anyway.

    Instead, you get mail to addresses like ScammyAppName@cool.tech and iJustWantedToDownloadThisOneFile@cool.tech, etc. Anything sent to those addresses gets sorted into two separate folders within the only mailbox you’ll ever need. If you want the same email to appear in two folders, you would need to make a copy of it.

  • Post it on peertube, and you’ll reach the viewers who don’t even use google adware. Post it on YT, and suddenly you’ll have an audience that realistically could implement the advice.

  • Never needed to mess around with that, so I don’t have any advice.

    As far as maps in general are concerned, I’m currently experimenting with OSM based maps. If you’re on iOS, you can easily get away from google by using apple maps. Not gonna get away from big tech that way, but still…

  • Tuta.con

    If you like, get your very own domain as well, and make infinite aliases.

  • Step 2) Get a proper email where you aren’t the product.

  • If they figure out a way to refine the slop code with another agent, there will be hardly any need for programmers in the future. We’ll see how that works out.

    In the meanwhile, LLMs are being used for cyberattacks and many companies are deploying lots of vibe code everywhere. What could go right…

  • If producing quality code no longer requires skilled programmers, you’re right. As it stands, LLMs produce very raw code that absolutely requires lots of human oversight to qualify as functional.

  • Exactly. Vibe coding is horrible in the wrong hands, but a skilled programmer can utilise it to carry out boring tasks.

    If you’re still learning to code, you can’t evaluate the quality of the output, which will result in wild goose chases, wasted hours and tangled low quality scribble code. If you can find and fix the mistakes, you can actually make certain tasks go much faster. Also, don’t let an LLM write more than 20-50 lines at a time. Finding mistakes in longer segments gets very tricky.

    If you have a plan in your head, you can request short segments like that. If you let the LLM take care of everything, it’s just going to dump 200 lines, and then you’ll need to rewrite most of it by hand. Gradual step by step approach works well, but it requires constant oversight.

  • Anyone who knows at least two languages can tell you that you need to listen to the whole sentence before you can start translating. Usually there’s something in the end that changes everything. In many cases, the word order is more or less reversed, so you have to start translating from the end.

  • LLMs always write with a very dramatic tone. I really hate that high impact language now.

  • Also, you shouldn’t pet any cat without their consent. Pay attention to the tail. Let the cat approach you first.

  • LOL, that pretty much covers it.

  • I always swim in T. rex blood…. Well more like homeopathic dilution of it but that only makes it more potent.

  • Try having a technical conversation about Internal Combustion Engines without using that acronym. Spelling it out once is fine, but what if you're comparing different engine types and you need to refer to that one frequently. Yeah, it gets awkward pretty quickly.

  • As far as I know, a blockchain solves a very specific kind of problem you never hear people lamenting about: trust. If you can’t trust your bank or the local shop, and those two can’t trust each other, let alone you, that’s when you need a blockchain. This tool is for situations where everyone is constantly worried about someone else screwing you over and running away with your money.

    If there is sufficient trust among all three parties, you don’t need a blockchain. It solves a problem you don’t have.

  • You should seriously consider a career in pen testing. Physical security needs to be tested too, and if you can just talk your way in, that company has some serious problems.

  • Did you get to use the classic line: “Don’t ask me, man. I don’t even work here.”

  • We should make a new gesture that involves your ring finger and little finger. That’s where the dexterity practice will pay off. Better yet, make that gesture the most insulting one, and kids will be practicing it in no time.

  • Each corner is infinitesimally close to 180°, and there are infinitely many of them. If you dislike corners, you're going to hate circles.

    Dreams are extremely forgettable because the plot is flimsy, the dialogue is uninspired, and the acting is lifeless.

    On Reddit, you had the "fake internet points". On Lemmy the points are totally real, but still worthless.
