operation switched to HYPE mode

a million times this, so many young people overwork themselves and burn out quickly

I cringe whenever a see someone has checked in code at 1am on a weekend, and these people are also working normal business hours so it’s not like they are only working at night

sadly it’s usually the same people who never take PTO either

that sounds very interesting! I’m gonna go lookup FPGA emulation now

r/reddit.com

man that brought back some memories, I remember when they shut that sub down and now I’m sad again

interacting with chatgpt is a learned skill

i’ve used it several times and while the initial code may have some issues you can get them cleared up with a few direct follow ups

I bought the Hanson CD

but you know what, I ain’t ashamed! MMMbop was catchy and I’ll listen to whatever gets my body groovin’

KoRn was my favorite band as a teen!

still enjoy their music even though I don’t seek out nu-metal as much as I used to

ARE YOU READY??!!

it’s funny because I was able to get a standup desk in my home office

I’m in better shape now than when I was sitting at the office (plus zero distractions from the cOlAbErAtIvE oPeN fLoOr pLaN)

I use chatgpt to get me pointed in the right direction and have it provide some basic boilerplate code for smaller tasks

I needed to go through a bunch of .json files and modify various elements

I was able to implement what I needed without google/documentation/stackoverflow

I was going to come in here and praise SDF but I see I’m too late

Damn you Dark Souls Remastered for taking me away from Lemmy for a bit!

I guess I’ll link the FAQ for SDF here for anyone interested in learning more

and also mention that SDF runs a Mastodon and Pixelfed instance for all your federation needs

didn’t realize people had issues with .webp

MacOS must have native support, I don’t recall installing anything but they work fine in Preview and Quick Look

keep the original voices though!

The voice acting in those games were top-notch and I don’t want to risk ruining that

years ago they used to have phone cases with a bluetooth keyboard so you could slide it open and it would be pretty similar to having a keyboard integrated right in the phone

must not have been popular cause I don’t really see them anymore

oh yeah, I actually do for local food/grocery deliveries

$5 or $10 depending on how much crap I order, not sure what the expectations are though for this type of service??

I only tip for sit-down restaurants where an actual servers brings me my food

everywhere else I preemptively give the stank face as I mash the ‘no tip’ button on their payment system

I usually just round up to the next $5 amount to make the numbers clean, don’t really care what the % is

so a $16.83 bill gets a $3.17 tip

this makes it easier to plan a meal budget, like “ok I’m spending $20 on a burger and fries today”

yep, and I am too timid to ever end the conversation

so now I have to hear Larry’s entire life story, or about how Wanda’s cousin has bowel cancer

yeah I downloaded tiktok to see what the deal was

I am immediately bombarded with some stupid auto play video I didn’t ask for, so I swipe it away

which just sends me another stupid video in an endless stream of garbage

I’ll never understand this type of social media, it truly felt like idiocracy

I know peertube already exists, but I wonder if a federated app specifically for short videos (to reduce data storage costs) could find some success?

would probably also need to use some intense video compression technology before upload to further reduce file sizes

yeah sometimes it is helpful to have lower volume of content

reddit is like trying to drink from a bot infested firehose

the fediverse is like sipping on a nice wine/coffee/tea, etc with your friends

quality over quantity as they say

I asked ChatGPT to pitch me a social network using tech buzzwords 🤮
