All good. No problem.

Which country are you thinking of?

The US FtA adv ratio meant I didn't watch any TV when I crossed the pond. There just wasn't any point because for every 10 minutes of content, I have forgotten or lost interest what was happening during the following 5 minutes of ads that follows.

The UK BBC doesn't have ads within programmes, but now you get to watch a (yet to be outed) Woke paedophile presenting, I'm told. And I grew up here in the 70s.

So that's what rimming is all about; they have anxiety. TIL.

Has the model just gotten worse for anyone else (search, hallucinations) in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

The only model worth using for a topic is o3. Everything else is just garbage a lot of the time.

Minimal context window so you ended up repeating stuff, or it didn't bother to look at its memories. Stuff that just doesn't make sense unless it's more complex that a couple of simple Google queries.

ChatGPT Is Telling People With Psychiatric Problems to Go Off Their Meds in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

There are so many stories and my own experience of General Practitioners getting very serious things very wrong that I have difficulty in trusting anything they say. No so other specialists, just General Practitioners.

"It's only a cold." seems to be the GP equivalent of the IT " Have you tried turning it off and on again?".

One seems to need to keep ones wits about one with both AI and GPs.

I don't think AI can be fully blamed. People have been taking incredibly stupid advice from themselves and other people since language was invented.

Getting to the point where it's just not worth using YouTube. It's good for me because I had stopped reading somehow; I used to read loads.

Eight ads in five minute video and I think fuck that.

I'm not going to join the subscription economy either: Every film/video producer wants a tenner a month for only their content. No-one has a majority. That's far far more than I was paying before by going to the cinema, even with the £20 popcorn!

Maybe I've missed something everyone knows. I was expecting to see the recipe in the comments or post. Am I being stupid?

Nothing significant. Just best wishes for anyone applying (reddthat.com)
 

Went to uni last century here in the UK (native Brit).

Much much more difficult now for you all and I feel for you all. The idea of fees for our elite students is pure folly. Shame on them.

Good luck all.

Removal of old packages (reddthat.com)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I'm sure I saw somewhere some while ago a way to remove old/obsolete packages from an system-upgraded install. Packages that wouldn't be removed because they're dependencies somewhere still.

For example, the xorg drivers can be removed from my F40 when upgraded to f41 install. As if I'd installed it from the to-be f41 everything iso.

I can't find it from the documentation; can someone point me in the right direction, please.

I can't quite remember but I think it was an official Fedora package that one 'installs' which contains a script to remove obsolete packages from the prior Fedora version.

UPDATE: found it. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/#sect-clean-up-retired-packages

[Possible bug] Sharing a post to Firefox makes Voyager into Firefox, and I can't get back! (reddthat.com)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Picking a random post from the list of posts in Voyager and then using the share facility to share it to Firefox makes Voyager look like Firefox with the address bar and so on.

However, when I want to go back to using Voyager flicking back - partial right swipe on my Pixel 7 Pro w/Niagara launcher - doesn't do anything useful and I'm still in a version/instance of Firefox with the Voyager icon.

Can someone double check that this does/not happen to them to an up-to-date Android phone before I report it, please?

Thank-you in advance

UPDATE: looks like it is my end from your comments, thank-you people. I'm going back from whence I came, shame faced. 😳

I'm glad. Voyager is my Lemmy of choice!

Maybe it's Niagara. There's a couple of stability fixes coming through. So here's hoping! Meanwhile I have a reeducation class to attend! 🤣

[pre-noob] What's the process for migrating from, in my case, Alexa, Smart Life to Home Assistant? (reddthat.com)
 

Hello all,

What do I actually do when I finally have a running instance (of containerised HA on a Raspberry Pi)? Delete all the toys from Alexa and Smart Life and start again in Home Assistant?

Is deleting everything the intelligent way to go rather than trying to transition?

My Google-foo is failing I did try to find an answer in Lemmy/Reddit/HA. Apologies if I miss an obvious place.

Thank-you in advance.

Is there a community for instrument learners, particularly piano/keyboard? (reddthat.com)
 

My early teen cousin is learning to play keyboard/piano. She likes to compose her own songs, and she's good at that, but perhaps could use some help with the basis rhythm.

I thought that a book of rhythms might help. Something like this, but it's going to be the wrong era for her on the surface, although the rhythms repeat through the ages. Encyclopedia of Piano Rhythm Patterns: Popular Piano Rhythms and How to Play Them https://amzn.eu/d/2JdTsST

Please point me in the right direction. Thank-you in advance

Abbott Freestyle Libre new user: hints please (reddthat.com)
 

Dear all

Just ordered my (first) trial Freestyle Libre attachment! I understand it's a v2 (flash) not a v3 (CGM). I don't think that they send v3 as trials.

Can I have any hints for anyone who has never used anything like that, please.

I think I saw that people use a bandage like thing to help keep it on, but hints about simple things like where to put it and showering/bathing would also be appreciated.

Thank-you in advance.

[Reddit] avoiding Reddit links in Lemmy. (reddthat.com)
 

Hi all

Is there an Android client that allows me to avoid Reddit posts which are currently crossposted and overwhelming my Lemmy timeline?

Something like Domain exclude as on the Relay for Reddit client.

Thank-you in advance
