As someone who owns a Kawasaki motorcycle and has been very pleased with their sales and service staff: won’t touch that thing. I don’t even know how/where one would refuel the thing; I’ve not seen hydrogen Stations anywhere here in japanJapan so far despite various automakers talking about it.

I borrowed one (I can’t even tell you what the make/model was) in the early 2000s. The pics were OK, but the thing took forever to save; there was no quick shooting by pressing the button again.

The groups specific to life/legal issues/visa issues/finance in Japan steadfastly refuse to move so I visit for those only.

I really liked unless in perl; especially as I get older !length or something makes that bang really easy to miss. I use !(length) or something instead to visually set it aside. unless made this much more visually clear.

Or, if on mbin, do that in reverse (at least in my case; hot stays stagnant but active is always changing).

I could be connected to the internet but unable to route to something so there may be cases where an internet connection does not strictly mean the internet is working properly

It’s ostensibly to stop the huge scalping and reselling problem here. Also, then yen is kinda shit right now.

Foreigner in Japan groups are pretty pissed since it’s not currently clear that, if you have a Japanese account but also a foreign one, whether you won’t even be able to connect your other account (i.e. lose access to all your old games). Anything that relies on system language to determine game language also suddenly becomes Japanese-only since this version will only have Japanese. It’s really shitty for people who want to do anything in their native language. My wife also sometimes tries to play on my US account to work on her English.

I actually never use the laptop’s display; it goes to a monitor via HDMI that I switch between sources. It could cut output to the HDMI port and I’d be equally happy

I have a mac m3 I’m forced to use for work. It is managed by my organization (I’m not sure exactly what that entails).

There is no screensaver that just turns my screen black. I don’t want animation, I don’t want color, I just want the screen to be blank.

Speaking of, I kept hearing my fan spin up and was wondering why. Flurry screensaver was just taking up like 2.5 CPUs and a couple gigs of ram. No clue why. It was actually supposed to be the photos screensaver, but I’m assuming it was angry that the photos screensaver was pointed at a folder with no photos (nor anything else). This was when the PC was running and in use so the screensaver should not even have been running.

Sometimes, when logging in, the password will just not work. If I click off my user and click on admin or another, it will then work fine. Multiple occurrences, not sure of cause.

I mean, if war kicks off, we’re full of US bases and still get a lot of petrochem from Russia, so I’m not so sure. Island nation without a ton of resources and all that.

I don’t think most people would care unless the community rules forbid it. Some might be curious, some might skip it, and you might get a nettouyo being a racist twat every now and again.

Everybody learns the Latin alphabet and English in school (used to be Jr high but pushed back to elementary recently). Proficiency levels are low, especially in speaking and listening, and shyness/fear of mistakes are factors. However, reading can be pretty decent. Of course, people very good at English also exist.

Could also be that many use machine translation, at least for the output side.

Mastadon seems to have a lot. I don’t see much outside of it personally.

This is me. We had a public holiday the other day and, since the weather wasn’t great, I decided to start a new project to write code because I enjoy it. Also, Twitch’s event/API documentation does not spark joy (weird grammar like “one of the following” what looks like a partially deleted line; response/requests that are in tables aligned by a number (only two, so good luck people like me) spaces to indicate level, and just plain wrong and missing info (“this API responds 202” – LIAR!).

Except when the government is immune to this and passes things off as real since it isn’t marked as AI.

Might have been microwave link. We had those as part of our disaster recovery at a few places I worked.

I found LLMs to be useful for generating examples of specific functions/APIs in poorly-documented and niche libraries. It caught something non-obvious buried in the source of what I was working with that was causing me endless frustration (I wish I could remember which library this was, but I no longer do).

Maybe I’m old and proud, definitely I’m concerned about the security implications, but I will not allow any LLM to write code for me. Anyone who does that (or, for that matter, pastes code form the internet they don’t fully understand) is just begging for trouble.

As an android user (Pixel), I’ve only ever opened AI by accident. My work PC is a mac and it force-reenables apple intelligence after every update. I dutifully go into settings and disable that shit. While summarizing things is something AI can be good at, I generally want to actually read the detail of work communications since, as a software engineer, detail is a teeeny bit important.

Ok. Thank you. I’ll go hunting to see if there’s already a PR or issue about it. Thanks!

I learned about it as the buttbuttination problem before I new it had a proper name, heh.
