I’d recommend libreoffice, because oracle also kinda sucks.

look at a physical keyboard and show me any of those symbols.

what bothers me even more than the price is that they all suck, and none of them fit my aesthetic. I could make my own decorations, and I’m offended that discord won’t let me.

Can i not bitch about how shit things have been? Or that these fixes shouldn’t even be necessary because they could have just not fucked it up in the first place?

Does nothing for existing cables.

also also, dufuq is this comment section? People need to chill out.

come on blahaj, yall are better than this.

The amount of effort for such imperceptible improvements is insane.

Also insane is how shit modern games run without multi thousand dollar hardware, even if you turn down settings, but then it also looks like ass in addition to running like shit.

is there an easy way to do this that doesn’t require me to understand how github works?

our fanatical obsession with convenience (and corporations exploiting that) is what created this mess.

Autopay is so expected now that many subscriptions simply don’t offer options to pay per month.

look near the condoms. You’ll find some really basic and boring ones.

not a problem for people with nothing left to lose.

I’ve got the same complaint here. Firefox has a setting, but it’s kinda crap and is only in Firefox. I haven’t been able to find a solution that works system wide and isn’t horrible jank. I’m on mint with cinnamon, btw.

I have a book that I’m never going to write, but I’m still making notes and attempting to organize them into a wiki.

using almost natural conversation, i can explain a topic to the gpt, make it ask me questions to get me to write more, then have it summarize everything back to me in a format suitable for the wiki. In longer conversations, it will also point out possible connections between unrelated topics. It does get things wrong sometimes though, such as forgetting what faction a character belongs to.

I’ve noticed that gpt 4o is better for exploring new topics as it has more creative freedom, and gpt o1 is better for combining multiple fragmented summaries as it usually doesn’t make shit up.

consistent middle click to scroll in all programs.

AAAA cringe.

not as good as it used to be, still the best news sub on that shit site.

I made the jump to Linux a few months ago, and while there are certain conveniences that I miss, everything I actually need works fine. As for gaming, I don’t play anything with kernel level anticheat, so it doesn’t matter to me that those don’t work on linux.

Damn. The thought-police are out in force in this thread, and are completely unable to separate fiction from reality.

to copy my own comment from another similar thread:

I’m an idiot with no marketable skills. I put boxes on shelves for a living. I want to be an artist, a musician, a programmer, an author. I am so bad at all of these, and between having a full time job, a significant other, and several neglected hobbies, I don’t have time to learn to get better at something I suck at. So I cheat. If I want art done, I could commission a real artist, or for the cost of one image I could pay for dalle and have as many images as I want (sure, none of them will be quite what I want but they’ll all be at least good). I could hire a programmer, or I could have chatgpt whip up a script for me since I’m already paying for it anyway since I want access to dalle for my art stuff. Since I have chatgpt anyway, I might as well use it to help flesh out my lore for the book I’ll never write. I haven’t found a good solution for music.

I have in my brain a vision for a thing that is so fucking cool (to me), and nobody else can see it. I need to get it out of my brain, and the only way to do that is to actualize it into reality. I don’t have the skills necessary to do it myself, and I don’t have the money to convince anyone else to help me do it. generative AI is the only way I’m going to be able to make this work. Sure, I wish that the creators of the content that were stolen from to train the ai’s were fairly compensated. I’d be ok with my chatgpt subscription cost going up a few dollars if that meant real living artists got paid, I’m poor but I’m not broke.

These are the opinions of an idiot with no marketable skills.
