At my work we call the ‘granny browser’.

I love this.

Also love this comments section.

Barf

And not the good version from Spaceballs.

Oh, true, but back then game companies would sell you those single disks you needed. My copy of Baldur’s Gate 2 was missing one that I was able to replace for a few bucks.

In hindsight, I kinda miss the awesome customer service that used to exist.

I understand where you’re coming from, as I too hate the Waltons, but food deserts are increasingly a thing in the United States and I’d wager tens of millions of people don’t have a whole lot of choice.

And this is 100% something that should be illegal, but never will be in this capitalist hellscape.

Can confirm.

This is why I have a dual-boot.

I have fond memories of Windows XP working well.

Do not have fond memories of the multi-dvd game installations, but I still have my library of physical games. :)

2/3 of the US states still adhere to $7 an hour, so I respectfully disagree.

Though I am on board with raising it further, and tying it to cost-of-living, so employers can’t game the system and ratchet up inflation in response.

Oh hell yeah.

The night shift at a 24-hour gym is the fucking best if you can swing it with your schedule and energy.

Until that love ends.

And then the world is permanently gray.

Wild to see actual uplifting news in Uplifting News, instead of the usual headlines about things that shouldn’t have to happen in a more sane society.

I have a home gym now, but when I was a regular, it was always aggravating.

Part of you wants to root for these people, but so many are rude or don’t treat the space with respect and leave trash everywhere, so you find yourself just counting down the days until 90% of them quit. (And then you root for the ones who get with the program and learn to behave appropriately.)

Yup.

The first three weeks of the new year are really crummy if you’re a gym regular.

One of the keys to being happy is just letting other people enjoy things.

Or mine: Ron Jeremy.

Yeah, I have a gaming-only laptop that is Windows for more powerhungry games, and a dual-boot for my general use laptop.

Okay… so?

Yup.

In some instances that’s sufficient though, depending on how much precision you need for what you do. Regardless, you have to review it no matter what it produces.

In hindsight, I’m really glad that the first time I ever used an LLM it gave me demonstrably false info. That demolished the veneer of trustworthiness pretty quickly.

At my work, we don’t allow it to make citations. We instruct it to add in placeholders for citations instead, which allows us to hunt down the info, ensure it’s good info, and then add it in ourselves.
