I tend to lurk just because I have nothing to add to the conversation lol

I use fish instead of zsh just because it has all the nice stuff without having to set anything up. Helix over Neovim is pretty nice for this too.

That’s the great thing about Bluesky. I don’t have to deal with this bullshit as much because they give people the tools to moderate it themselves.

When I was in school, someone figured out that if you go into Google Translate and type in a link, you could go to whatever website you wanted. We also figured out that despite Google Images being blocked, you could just click on the images tab of Google search and use it that way. Even the teachers told us about that one lol.

Pixelorama is completely free and is a pretty good alternative to Aseprite

The more I use ChatGPT and the like, the more I realize “the old ways” is usually just faster and easier. At best, I might use it to point me in the right direction instead. Which is very helpful, but it’s nowhere near good enough to be a replacement for most of its applications.

I know the article is about Gemini but people are realizing that AI isn’t replacing anything any time soon way faster than the people making it.

Can confirm. I don’t talk much lol.

Just when I forgot about it

I’m currently making an Astro theme to make static sites way easier and then after that I’m probably going back to working on the API viewer I was making with Svelte, Tauri, and Rust. (Think of something like Postman but way less bloated.) I mainly just need to finish the settings and redo the data input form and then it should be ready for a first release (but it’ll still obviously be far from finished.)

I sadly don’t have any programming friends

Honestly once ChatGPT started giving answers that consistently don’t work I just started googling stuff again because it was quicker and easier than getting the AI to regurgitate stack overflow answers.

Pretty cheap for a 256TB drive

I haven’t noticed any downtime yet so good enough for me

Sure, they’re two different sites, but the smaller user base makes Mastodon harder to enjoy for most people since the people they know aren’t using it. That’s not an issue for Lemmy because no one cares about the specific users, they just want the content and discussion. I just think it’s kinda interesting how the fediverse approach works to different degrees for different kinds of sites.
