Their first ever sunday was so boring they tried fathers day for the next one. It was too much and they said never again.

Ain't AI. Just good ol' bad human design.

A little known fact: In finland, fathers day lasts the entirety of november.

There's a lot wrong here, but for a start, swap J and M.

  • Useless fake spam content.
  • Posting AI slop ruins the "social" part of social media. You're not reading real human thoughts anymore, just statistically plausible words.
  • Same with machine-generated "art". What's the point?
  • AI companies are leeches; they steal work for the purpose of undercutting the original creators with derivative content.
  • Vibe coders produce utter garbage that nobody, especially not themselves understands, and somehow are smug about it.
  • A lot of AI stuff is a useless waste of resources.

Most of the hate is justified IMO, but a couple weeks ago I died on the hill arguing that an LLM can be useful as a code documentation search engine. Once the train started, even a reply that thought software libraries contain books got upvotes.

Not exactly inside. Pretty cool though

Could you explain how that would have worked?

PR month, time for rainbow capitalism.

Or maybe a bit less of it this year.

They reached the most sensible, logical conclusion: deport musk and impeach trump.

Suddenly I'm starting to understand how canonical makes its weird, bad decisions.

annoying esoteric vehicle

You're making it sound a lot harder and more painful than it is. Do you also judge people who ride 2-wheeled vehicles that "require attention" for staying balanced?

"I don't like X, therefore people who like X can't possibly like it for real and must be pretending. In fact, they are elitists who only do it to feel superior to me."

C'mon mate.

I just learned about this cool PC case a couple days ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqyQeCbq4YA&t=221s), and I kinda want it over my boring aluminium and glass box. I like both the idea of an old looking sleeper and the horizontal pizza box form factor (or pizza box adjacent as it's whole 4U thick).

So I started thinking about possibilities. The FLP01 is just an off-white version of silverstone's normal HTPC case with a different front panel. So what if I got the case and modded it in a similar manner?

a very rough sketch.

I could 3D print this, and probably post-process the surface finish to look as if it were legit. It will probably go nowhere as I can't justify buying a new case just for fun, but I wanted to share this thought anyway.

Hi, I tried a new Lemmy app yesterday. I was already kind of annoyed by different sort icons when using Photon and Voyager, but something snapped when I opened the menu in Interstellar. The third meaning of this arrow was too much.

Voyager Photon Interstellar

Here's a table of all sort icons:

Some of these differences I'm okay with, like controversial sort, but others not so much. Especially when the same icon is used for different things. The symbols become useless if the meaning is different in every ui. I guess because Lemmy-UI doesn't use icons for sorting, other devs just picked something in isolation.

So, my solution is to build a reference icon set that apps / frontends would loosely follow. This could then be added to Lemmy documentation. Any thoughts?

My ideas so far:

  • Hot: fire. rocket is also pretty descriptive, as the post is just taking off.
  • Active: It's Active Discussion, so speech bubbles?
  • Controversial: Anything negative or conflict
  • New: leaf, sprout
  • Old: clock, hourglass
  • Scaled: I don't like the scale icon, but it's still better than random.
  • Most comments: Multiple speech bubbles?
  • New comments: Single speech bubble? I like the unread dot in interstellar.
  • Top: trophy, medal, podium

This post was kinda lemmy-specific, but I'm posting to the generic /c/fediverse since other platforms could have similar issues, and extra perspectives don't hurt.

Menin tilaamaan kirjan. Matkahuolto toimittikin paketin valitun kaupan kassan sijasta vähän matkan päässä sijaitsevaan automaattiin. No, mikäs siinä, ei matka paljoo kasva. Automaatin edessä tarkastelen tekstiviestiä vähän tarkemmin. Ei lokerokoodia, pelkkä käsky asentaa joku appi puhelimeen. No en asenna. Tarkastan sähköpostin, sama sisältö. Matkahuoltolaiset meni näköjään keksimään takuuvarman keinon kasvattaa käyttäjämäärää: asenna appi tai paketti jää saamatta. Perkele.

Panttivankitilanteen pakottamana asennan Matkahuolto Paketit-sovelluksen. Eijjumalauta, appi aukeaa rekisteröitymislomakkeeseen. Vitutus kasvaa odotellessa sähköpostin vahvistuslinkkiä ulkona noin viiden minuutin ajan. Sovellus kaatui kerran, mutta hyväksyttyäni tietojen jakamisen saan paketin ulos. Keskimäärin 1,6 tähden arvosteluissa joku sanoi, että soittamalla maksulliseen palvelunumeroon voi pyytää paketin siirtoa muualle.

Vastoin Matkahuollon mainoslausetta "Ei tehdä tästä pakettisovelluksesta nyt mitään numeroa," aion heittäytyä mahdollisimman vittumaiseksi asian kanssa. Tämmönen bait-and-switch menettely ei kai edes ole laillista.

Edit: Tili poistettu, tein pakettisovelluksesta numeron kuluttaja-asiamiehelle. Pitäiskö vielä varmistaa, että tiedot poistetaan GDPR:n mukaisesti.

HV koko ~~postin~~ matkahuollon väki.
