What a terrible day to have eyes

Because what's the fun in that?

I hope so, and with the 2L Mt Dew!

Cross-posted as part of ongoing boycotting/protest efforts to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize and drive non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because of the behavior and attitudes of the .ml instance admins (see megathread link above)

Some highlights from the link:

Hehe same, I powered on a stock system to play a few years ago and I'm like sitting there wondering if it's broken or if this really all there was to the stock system LMAO

Not really, unintended side effects.

Couple of different reasons really

Shopping for a new home instance

Exploring the Threadiverse from different perspectives (the "hot" feed you see can vary quite a bit depending on the instance you're on lol)

::: spoiler Trolling .ml (or Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.

"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

"NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team. :::)

Learning that the bot intended to better interconnect instance comms may not be doing as good of a job

Interconnecting wayward instances, this one for example not a single comm I posted to was federated, I had to manually federate each one for posting

Creating comms on fitting instances or just among a regular rotation of general instances so I'm not making a whole bunch on any one instance

Now, what do do with the copilot button?

Well if you're into running local LLMs, you could always tie it into that

Or just make it a dedicated Steam button LMAO

I used to beat my kids to the trucks when they appeared, not since those greedy bastards took away my Choco Taco tho 😔

I find some utility in them, they're VERY far from the end all be all tool that AI bros hype.

I used it heavily to generate more cover letters for a recent job hunt than Ive ever done in my life and that's in addition to generating pretty much all of my written communication. So it was of great help there to help me mass apply to shit (without using one of those dumb AI applying services (tried like 2 of em, utter dog shit lmao))

Just yesterday I used my local LLM to process a pic I snapped of a handwritten birthday invite one of my kids got and it was inserted into my calendar accurately. Is GenAI 100%, no, but it's more accurate than the previous solution for something like that I think.

Us Americans should really stop being such prudes, I know the scene you're talking about and it's not bad or even sexual lmao

Too many letters to type obvi! /s

Edited with the link to their website, according to the FAQ

Will there be a 5.25" or 2.5" version?

PicoIDE will launch with a 3.5" enclosure only, but depending how things go, other form factors may be made available.

So it sounds like it could be coming, plus it's open source so you or someone else could modify the enclosure print to be bigger

Lmao why is cheese so special
