If it all goes away, I won’t care. Youtube is all about creators and they are the worst. Whatever.

Eh, tiktok was already brain rot.

Not sure it really makes any difference.

And I mean this seriously. People staring at their phones to watch little snippets of shit and endlessly scrolling for more is not healthy.

I am not sure there really is a distinction between "real’ or not real to the end viewers brain.

It is secure. It is your wallet, your keys. The security is you don’t store in on someone elses server just like people should do with any crytpo. Never on an exchange.

It is built from litecoin, which is a fork of bitcoin.

I miss when the satire became a possibility of a real currency. Of all the crypto, Dogecoin proved that there is no point in trying.

Low cost, fairly stable, cheap to send a receive, a ton of clients and places to spend it. I never bought any, but I traded for plenty, and bought many things with it. I never worried about it becoming valuable, so I did not hoard it. I never worried about it becoming worthless either because the inflation rate was constantly shrinking.

But the complaint was always the same: how will I get rich with this?

Which proved that crypto is garbage and a ponzi or pyramid scheme.

Yeah I was wondering that too. Mine isn’t huge, not tiny, but not huge either.

I have not seen that. It is always plex that does something stupid. Jellyfin is extremely reliable. Plex is particularly pissing me off lately.

Both hardware transcoding, same file, same server and there is Plex making me wait, wait, wait. While jellyfin is nearly click and go.

That shouldn’t be. I run mine side by side with Plex and Jellyfin is much faster.

Wait, Jellyfin had HDR tone mapping before Plex didn’t it?

In my case running them both side by side, Jellyfin is as least reliable and fast, which is a lot more important when I am thousands of miles away and just want to watch something.

Does this surprise anyone? Of course they are. Every business is pushing AI as hard as they can.

They changed the save to auto store. Super annoying now. If I wanted to keep it I would save it. Now I have extra clicks.

I am not the only user that pastes things there to look at or temporarily copy from. A lot of people I know are annoyed. Could I turn it off? I don’t know maybe, but there are better options now anyways.

Kate works on windows and edit is coming back so notepad just gets removed.

Being basically a scratch pad. For anything more I have software to do that.

They ruined it by changing the way it saves.

Then bloated it with crap nobody (except apparently you) want. They also introduced a LOT of new bugs.

Well yeah, because notepad did one thing well. Now it doesn’t.

I just spent a good portion of my day today fixing stupid crap an AI had put into documents that a person was trying to use. It was wrong, so damn wrong. Like usual.

It can. But doesn’t have to. And you could do vs codium if you wanted to.

OK, so you haven’t actually looked into any of the studies (there are plenty). It absolutely makes you dumber and lazy while wasting your time.

The amount of garbage that AI puts out is astounding. I am very familiar with it, my department is in charge of facilitating users to use it. I run local LLM’s so I fully understand how offline works.

In the case of copilot+ pc’s "an internet connection is required every so many days. They are explicit that the local processing will be combined with internet processing, and although you can turn it off for periods of time, the model will not be as robust or useful. In addition of course they are still sending all that data back with refresh by simply using windows so there is that too.

Calling VS Code an IDE is a stretch. Are you sure you are not confusing it with Visual Studio?

Because everything Microsoft has said, even when using Copilot + AI local still sends data to microsoft. Sound like privacy, is more like pushing the actual resource compute local while still sending data home.

You don’t understand how using AI to help with writing is awesome?

No, I don’t. It is lazy and not awesome at all. Every single research paper that has come out says it does one of two things (often both): wastes your time making you think you are being more efficient when you are not, AND makes you stupid. Your crutch disengages your brain, and makes it harder and harder for you to do it your self.

And if you are taking notes, what the hell is AI doing?

You said notepad++ which has a lot of features via plug ins. So I would assume you would want more functionality than simply a text editor, hence why I said it. If I am stuck on a windows computer, I use it for code AND notes. It works well for either case. There is even an extension for that.

Your username doesn’t check out… Everything you type in notepad goes to Microsoft now… I can’t understand what is awesome about having an ai try and figure out my text in notes pad.

Would you be better served switching from notepad++ to vs code?

Wait, this seems completely backwards.

Windows: Here is some forum post to some rando’s software. SomeShit.exe. Should I install it?

As opposed to Linux: I look in the category of the software I am interested in, click install.

And as far as breaking… I use linux because it doesn’t break. I don’t have time for windows bullshit.

Just switch to Linux.

This is like saying “put some salve on the wrists where the shackles are binding you”. For fucks sake just walk away from the abusive computing relationship.

I definitely could see geojson getting that large.
