I was on Boost when it was for reddit, paid for it even. Then the lemmy version dropped and at some point it became unusable for me. Been on Voyager ever since, haven’t looked back. I might like it even better.

At some point all the fun stuff from a new relationship dies down and most of it just turns into a drag. The deepest conversations you’ll have are about what to eat or whether you’ll be home at a regular time.

I know this is not the case in all marriages but most of them that end in divorce are merely because it started as something fun, marriage seemed the next logical step and then you’re sort of locked into it, longing back to the excitement of getting to know each other. Being single is pretty much like that unless you never meet new people you have a fun couple of weeks with before never seeing each other again.

Cause I got married. It’s not that different from being single.

No discrete GPU? When my 4070 was slightly out of its depth on context for Mistral-NeMo 12B a while back it offloaded some to my cpu and system RAM and it was so slow. Recipe generation timed out after 10 mins while on VRAM it takes 30 seconds.

It’s only clean between each patient, as soon as a patient shows up it gets dirty.

Why have users waste time playing games when they can waste time watching ads instead

There was this guy who started college when I was chairman of the study association for IT. He was a bit of a geek even by IT standards, but all in all okay guy who brought a lot of enthusiasm.

He was never really understood by his surroundings, had a tough childhood with some trauma. Went into special needs schools and working his way up to study IT at a good school. He was like 26 when he started, the more usual age being 18 or even 17.

He was of course always welcome at our study association and everyone accepted him for who he was. He ended up also doing board work for the study association.

Couple years later, I’d already graduated, we met at a general meeting for the association and afterwards he took me apart to say that he’d graduated. He said that it was because of me giving a speech to all first-years that he’d felt more or less at home, felt confident enough to join the association, found friends and that that helped him get his diploma. He said it was because of me he got where he was.

I told him it was not because of me. He got to college before even meeting me. I was just there along the way to nudge him, unknowingly, towards a group of positive people who were always happy to help.

He’d had tears in his eyes and I have him a quick hug. I then told him this study association did a lot of good for me too. Sometimes all you need to do is step into something to generate great change in your life.

DWORD is as obvious to me as all the ones containing unicode strings.

I can say by just analysing the words and what they probably mean that I have 3, 4, 5 and 7, no doubt. Never been tested for autism but I’m fairly certain it’s in there.

5 is only sound that I seem to process differently in the sense that I have very sensitive hearing and misophonia. Especially eating sounds cause high levels of stress for me.

I feel like a lot of Lemmy is basically armchair anarchism of people that feel left out by society one way or the other so they call out billionaires, warmongers, just generally people who have decided on our world’s course for the last two millenia or so. But the farthest they’re willing to go is make edgy comments or some out-of-context quote to underline their doom thinking.

I’m not gatekeeping anarchism or saying these people should take violent action, I’m just saying it’s a noticeable trend. Every once in a while you’ll see some anti-immigrant post or something anti-woke and it’ll fee downvoted to oblivion and it’ll be commented on a lot with no real arguments (don’t feed the trolls) but just hate versus hate. Activism achieved for the day.

Is it MSI? It’s going to be MSI isn’t it

I was really into the Rookie for the first two or three seasons but this last season it’s become a bit of a chore to keep watching. It used to be a believable cop show but it’s turned into a Hollywood bullet and fire fest where they are just picking up these super extreme crimes even though they are just simple streetcops.

And although it was sort of refreshing to see people being so understanding of each other and communicating so well, it’s become a bit over the top and it just irks me now.

I was sort of hoping they’d slap a bow on it and end it after this season but it looks like Hawley is hell-bent on running this into the ground like Castle.

I asked it for a realistic bid for a house, I sent the same text 3 as with 3 different numbers I was thinking of and it told me pretty much the same thing for all of them. I then called it out about it and only then did I receive a decent answer.

Netherlands, all of us also. Two of them solo, one of which bought it like 3 years ago. Me and my wife bought ours in 23, we’re in the market currently.

All of us have hbo level jobs, one of us used to be entrepreneur. Sold his company. The guys all work in IT.

Army of frogs

I read that you did, indeed. I think it’s commendable and a whole lot better for your personal wellbeing than just lying back and taking it. Thing is that the best case scenario is that they’ll say they never realised how their actions have affected others. It’s however far more likely that they think you’re being overly sensitive and that it can never be that bad. It’s sort of similar to having a spouse who snores. You can tell them they snore all you like, they’re not hearing it and they really won’t know what impact it has on you. Short of you recording them, or them moving into your place while you go stomp around upstairs.

Your neighbour possibly already thinks that she’s being as considerate as she can be, in the sense that not blasting music or watching movies, or walking around in heels, is limiting her in her freedom. She’s not going to stop doing stuff she wants because someone else is hindered by it. It’s the same type of person that blocks the aisle of the supermarket whilst having conversations with others. Those who run elbows first through a crowd to get a place up front. Those who talk through movies. They are oblivious to what effect their actions have on others.

I have neighbours like that. I’m usually very self conscious about being the one who’s noisy but they can get it, I don’t care. Their kids, barely teenagers, are still up when we go to bed, screaming at each other in their bathroom where we can hear them verbatim. Or being out in the evening on their trampoline in the front yard, we can pretty much join the conversation.

I’ve been in the situation where I heard people moving their furniture around almost daily. It’s usually not what you think it is. Most people have no idea how their noise affects others. It can just be someone falling in their seat on the couch that can make it sound like they’re moving the couch. This is why our couch is up against the wall, so it doesn’t move. We have those little felt things under chair legs to prevent scraping noise. We take our shoes off inside the house. And if we do watch movies, tv or listen to music, even when having a modest party, we keep the music at a reasonable volume so we can still have a conversation.

It’s common decency that loads of people don’t do because they are inconsiderate. Not because they’re inherently bad people, they just haven’t been taught to take others into account. And they get away with it because those who do, usually avoid confrontation.

Waar hebben we het dan over?

Another one who doesn’t know how to cook umber. For a brief spell, about 33ms in between these stages, umber becomes dark green with a very light green edge. That’s actually where cucumber gets its name, it’s shorthand for cooked umber.

I sincerely hope that when it comes to code this only applies to changes discussed and user-approved with a Plan step in front. I’d hate to come back to it having refactored my entire app with the usual schema drift and it trying to run pwsh commands even though my app runs on a different system
