Aa!

WSL is pretty good these days. Dual boot with Windows is still a pretty risky move with how easily Windows will overwrite your boot loader. I usually recommend you pick one os or the other rather than dual boot, so I’m in favor of WSL or virtualbox. Personally, I have never cared for needing to reboot just to switch operating systems. I tend to stick with one and the second one does nothing but take up disk partition space.

WSL lets you run both simultaneously without rebooting. Virtualbox lets you do the same with extra setup. Virtualbox makes it easier to do GUI setups than WSL does, and the network configuration is a little more obvious.

The best option is to get a second machine so you can run both. If that’s not an option, virtualbox is the better choice for learning. If you just want a Linux environment on your existing setup (similar to using a Mac) then WSL is usually good enough

Taylor Swift endorsed Harris, and she signed it “childless cat lady.” (There’s a little history of the term being used recently by Trump or Vance)

And Musk is responding in the dumbest way, when nobody even asked him

Tabasco?

I prefer hot sauce on old pizza, not vinegar

I know those words, but that doesn’t make any sense

You’re arguing opinions and trying to convince someone as if they are facts. There’s plenty to criticize about how AI is used, but it is a valuable tool for those that use it.

The amount of value it provides is very subjective, and even if you don’t find it useful, many others do. You might as well be trying to argue that you don’t like photography because it doesn’t provide the same experience of drawings and paintings. You wouldn’t be wrong to feel that way, but you would be wrong to tell someone else that they need to feel the way you do.

I want an instance already established, very populated, and proven to last long term, so I don’t have to create another account

I think it would be wise to have a partner, first to be a backup child-watcher in case your attention focuses in one direction. And the legal witness isn’t a bad thing to have also.

Complaining that it’s called AI is like complaining that smartphones are called smart. There’s no stopping it, you just end up sounding like an old man yelling at the cloud. (Which isn’t really a cloud, but we still call it that)

What debacle? The biggest mods out there worked right out of the gate with the next gen update (Sim Settlements 2, for example). Most mods on Nexus have not been updated in years and still work fine

The script extender was updated within hours of the last update, and anyone depending on the script extender was aware that updates would mean they would have to update their se plugins.

All this says for me is that fallout London is likely a mess. And after the way the Frontier turned out, I was not going to get my hopes up until I saw the finished product

Not everyone. But it’s definitely very overrepresented here, including some large communities of extremists that I don’t typically see elsewhere.

Reading these comments I feel fortunate to work for a company where this is all uncommon.

There is arguably some drama when layoffs happen or when there are organizational changes, but it’s pretty tame.

All I can think of is I work for a large company in a relatively educated field (I’m a senior software developer for a technology company) in a very corporate environment. Most of my peers are just looking to be professional and foster a productive team dynamic, so they can keep a healthy balance between work and their families

It used to be at the same time, so you’d have to choose between the two

You know which one I was more interested in

For that matter, why is waist size a Boolean?

I could do without most of Oregon too

• 7 felt like it was mine

I remember that marketing campaign. Windows Vista had a shaky launch, because the hardware manufacturers hadn’t polished the Vista-compatible drivers yet. 6 months later, they had caught up, but people still had a bad taste from it.

So when service pack 1 came out, Microsoft made a reskinned version of it and started an ad campaign with “customers” claiming “Windows 7 was my idea!” and the public ate it up.

I can only imagine what it would have been like to work with Tim Curry, JK Simmons, and George Takei on that game. So much ham from such talented people, I have to assume they were just having fun with it all.

I’m not sure what it is “for” exactly, but in practice it tends to show a lot of brand new posts with zero comments or votes

That’s gonna depend on the station you were listening to

I couldn’t imagine tying myself to a single category for my whole career.

I’ve done front end, back end, database, web, Windows, and Linux development. If the job calls for learning something new, I’m on it. These days I’m making datacenter software for admins to use to manage their distributed applications. Before this, I was doing the same thing for factory automation at the edge.

Specializing has its value, but the more flexible you can be, the more useful you will be when the landscape changes and your boss suddenly asks you to set up an AI system or something.

Yes, if you want to see Hackernews posts, get them from Hackernews yourself. Reposting to Lemmy just adds more posts with zero engagement that new users will see and be put off of the site for

Several months ago we had three different instances with their own Hackernews communities and their own repost bots posting the exact same things, with zero discussion.

Lemmy needs more actual discussion, and fewer bots adding noise to the feed.
