It’s not just code, but day to day shit too. Lately corporate communications and even training modules feel heavily AI generated. Things like unnecessary em dashes (I’m talking as much as 4 out of 5 sentences in a single paragraph), repeating statements or bullet points in training modules. We’re being encouraged to use our “private” Copilot to do everyday tasks and everything is copilot enabled.

I don’t mind if people use it, but it’s dangerous and stupid to think that it produces near perfect results every time. It’s been good enough to work as an early rough draft or something similar, but it REQUIRES scrutiny and refinement by hand. It’s like it can get you from nothing to 60-80% there, but never higher. The quality of output can vary significantly from prompt to prompt in my limited experience.

I really like the Kensington Expert mouse for this reason. Expert Mouse Wired Trackball

I use my index and middle fingers to manipulate the ball (together or alternating scissor-walk like fashion), and ring finger to turn the wheel. Thumb for left click (bottom left button), and ring finger to right click (top right button). The hand doesn’t move at all, with movement all in the fingers.

It freaks out visitors when they try to use it, but it’s a life saver for click intensive workflows. So much so that I would have a second as a backup. My only complaint for it if I had one is that the scroll wheel can get a little loud with aggressive scrolling in a single direction, like trying to get to the bottom of a page.

Not a youngster, but I would say because it’s a simple choice. Don’t have to think which brand sporting Android is better and definitely don’t have to worry about what custom ROM to install. Troubleshooting between different models can be a pain. People just want something that works out of the box without having to be an expert.

1 choice (mainly) vs (too) many choices.

Correct. These are often found in takeaway containers.

I’m not defending the use but should mention that these are convenient over traditional sauce packets. They allow precise application in a droplet form, don’t spill everywhere, and can be closed with the included cap.

Brothers!

I only found out about this today from someone whose computer got bricked from trying to enable secure boot.

It’s about control. They can grant you access or revoke it based on your id.

The powers at be hate that they can’t control the narrative as well as they used to so this is their solution.

Any iOS alternatives? The ad experience is not great.

I loved using Forge to do stupid shit 🤣

Yeah but your ISP knows someone at your address is consuming a metric ton of corn.

Easel. But we understood. 😀

He was against it, which resulted in a lot of negative opinions about the bill and netting less votes because of it. It’s gone full Streisand effect.

Baby shark

Have to disagree. The war bonds have been some of the easiest to pay with in game currency compared to games like cod where their cod points feel next to worthless.

If you are netting very few credits per hell dive, you may be playing with those that don’t need them or playing bots, or a newly released content. Farming on level 1 will often get you with like minded folk, especially before a war bonds release. Farming is quick when you realize you don’t have to extract, just abort to ship.

Disagree on first and last point. MJ is NOT comparable to cigarettes. At all. This is coming from someone who has partaked in both. Both produce smoke but are not equal.

Cigarettes are WAY worse for your chest, and far more addictive, and easier to access/cheaper.

Wow, lots of “double clicks”, which is fairly new to the usual list.

I’m finally included.

An excuse to access the war purse strings.

No, not in a North vs South sense. If anything it’s just going to be in the form of terrorism like we saw during his presidency. Just more bold.
