BeanCounter,

With the default FE, you can’t. Yet.

Does Bing Chat give reliable answers to math and physics questions? If not is it possible to make it more reliable?

I realize and understand the criticisms of ChatGPT and I have personally seem how bad it can be. Once I asked to count the number of days till a random date giving the present date and it failed miserably, again and again. Trust me! I get the criticism. But, what about Bing Chat Bot?...

BeanCounter,

As every generative AIs are, yes and no.

Even if you explicitly say to do something, it will do what it see fits. Most of the time it will work, some times it won’t.

It’s just another tool after all. You cannot safely rely on it, no. It’s neat and explains some things well. It won’t sometime.

BeanCounter,

They honestly get under my skin when it comes to NK. So many people suffering under their tyranny and they go full on denial or blame US shit.

There are a lot of NK defectors who had suffered so much. They will be more than pissed off to see how some people just go this bad… and I feel for them.

BeanCounter,

BeanCounter,

Will Google know where I am if I turn off every tracking shit I can turn off?

BeanCounter,

Mobile carrier I (although it’s against my will) have less problem. Thanks for your input!

BeanCounter,

In my experience with Ubuntu, it worked quite flawlessly. Just follow Lutris.

BeanCounter,

Fennec has been amazing for me for quite a time now but it is a bit frustrating to use FF only when you’re using android. That’s only because Google sucks ass but this will somewhat be a remedy.

BeanCounter,

Because if they try, you get gems like XÆA-12

Huh. That’s a weird way to say that you dug up pile of hot steaming horse poo.

BeanCounter,

I only use Torrent with Transmission because that’s what is sitting in my server.

BeanCounter,

Careful recommending glacier. It is shockingly, crazy expensive to retrieve data.

BeanCounter,

Doesn’t Ubuntu do this? I use Ubuntu inside WSL and it bugged me so fucking much

BeanCounter,

zsh is so much nicer to work with

BeanCounter,

I think what you’re looking for is right wingers

BeanCounter,

Hey son how about we stay out of politics or whatnot and focus on this nice family time?

Normal response: Okay sorry dad, guess I was making everyone uncomfortable. It was just one of my hills to die on. So how’s the food?

OP’s response: But everything is political? How do you taste of that animal exploits cooked with nature crushing electricity dipped in yet another animal cruelty and forced labor? Family? What is family anyway? Do you realize that by forcing me to have a nice family time is actually only beneficial to fat capitalists? These things matter. And if you don’t want to hear these wherever you go then it’s your problem not mine.

BeanCounter,

Yeah. I only mainly use Newpipe because it’s just a better experience. Way nicer than Google’s own, even without considering ads.

BeanCounter,

My first language is Korean. A lot of the time people just write some words or phrases in Korean in English keyboard layout.

If I, for example, write 손톱깎이, that way, which is nail clipper in Korean,

thsxhqRkRdl

Basically totally random. Add in some numbers and !@#$% and you have easy to remember, quick to type and secure password.

Quite nice.

BeanCounter,

I use Vaultwarden personally. It’s just whag a lot of people do.

BeanCounter,

Do companies know that it’s just a fucking HTTP client? You compete with curl smh

BeanCounter,

Yeah that’s why I switched from VSCode to nano!

BeanCounter,

We do what we can. Privacy is not go full on paranoid or go home. I might have worse data collecting pos apps that I definitely need on my device but I at least use FOSS softwares from Fdroid whenever I can. It helps.

BeanCounter,

Can it run Need 4 speed?

BeanCounter,

Most people’s reaction: Yeah so what? No one cares about me and you.

90% of the time.

BeanCounter,

I belive that’s the reason why Librewolf doesn’t turn on something along this kind of option by default.

BeanCounter,

That’s very cute ngl

HTMX: Best front-end recommended by https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/

Why don't laptops have proper low power states where useful stuff like downloads can run during sleep/with the lid closed?

Basically every laptop I’ve owned I’ve had to disable sleep when the lid is closed as I often leave them plugged in and want background tasks like downloads or updates to be able to run while I’m not using the machine. However, I don’t think PC laptops have a way to switch to a super low power state and just run...

BeanCounter,

x86 isn’t built for that kind of usage

BeanCounter,

Mmm hexbear comment what a credible resource

BeanCounter, (edited )

From the very first article that braindead comment quoted:

But there’s no question many people were killed by the army that night around Tiananmen Square, and on the way to it — mostly in the western part of Beijing. Maybe, for some, comfort can be taken in the fact that the government denies that, too.

From the second article:

There was no Tiananmen Square massacre, but there was a Beijing massacre … What happened in 1989 was by far the most widespread pro-democracy upheaval in communist China’s history. It was also by far the bloodiest suppression of peaceful dissent.

Actual video taken that day

but if you were smart enough to actually read them, you wouldn’t be denying it anyways.

What do you think of framework and their methods? (frame.work)

We are not sustainableAnd neither is any other device maker. This industry is full of “feel good” messaging, but generates 50 million metric tons of e-waste each year. We believe the best way to reduce environmental impact is to create products that last longer, meaning fewer new ones need to be made. Instead of operating on...

BeanCounter,

Huh. More you know.

BeanCounter,

Kinda cheated by explicitly commanding it to answer that way

https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/6450a824-f46e-40e0-86e0-122715bdb28d.webp

But I’m pretty sure it’s never going to just say “Yes” without such instruction.

BeanCounter,

I’ve never even heard of beef stroganoff in my life before this. Is it any good?

BeanCounter,

I search way, way more than 300/month. I’m also not paying $10/month AND give my search history to a company that I made transaction with.

How likely is this to work? KVM/VFIO Single GPU Passthrough (www.youtube.com)

I’ve been wanting to make a proper switch over to Linux for a while now. I’ve currently have a dual-boot setup but still mostly use Windows. The majority of my games should work without fuss, but I’d like to have a simple solution for running the handful of things that don’t work in Linux, such as my WMR VR headset and a...

BeanCounter,

I ended up giving up on this because this is more of a headache than a solution… Check out Proxmox. I think they now support single gpu pass though.

It doesn’t tickle fancy to corporate suits

What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts? (sh.itjust.works)

I used Plex for my home media for almost a year, then it stopped playing nice for reasons I gave up on diagnosing. While looking at alternatives, I found Jellyfin which is much more responsive, IMO, and the UI is much nicer as well....

BeanCounter,

Doesn’t VSCodium break quite a lot of extensions even if installed manually?

BeanCounter,

I thought so too but then I read some complaints about some extensions breaking. I’ve never used it myself so 🤷‍♂️

BeanCounter,

Fuck docstring or JSDoc. This is clearly the way.

BeanCounter,

I am not that familiar with browser extensions dev enough to contribute rn but that looks awesome. If there’s any chance, I’ll definitely contribute!

BeanCounter,

Windows 11 I hate

So much stupid shit day by day

WSL mitigates.

BeanCounter,

I have an account on one server, but often browser from 9 other servers.

Do you literally open 9 tabs for each instances? If that’s the case, that’s kinda weird. You don’t have to. That’s the whole point of Lemmy.

Link for a community in lemmy should be something like this: [Link Text](/c/[email protected]). If you click that in whatever instance you’re in, you should be able to access the community in that instance.

However, quite a lot of people just don’t care and copy/paste link for the community which is (understandable, but,) quite irritating. So after I read this post I just wrote this hacky Tampermonkey script to fix those links.


<span style="color:#323232;">// ==UserScript==
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// @name         Fix community link
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// @version      0.1
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// @match        https://[YOUR INSTANCE HERE]/post/*
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// @run-at       document-end
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// ==/UserScript==
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">(function() {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    'use strict';
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    const postLinks = document.getElementById("postContent").querySelectorAll("a:not(.community-link)");
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    const comments = document.getElementsByClassName("comment-content");
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    for (let aTag of postLinks) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        const isCommunityLink = aTag.pathname.startsWith("/c/");
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        aTag.href = isCommunityLink?aTag.pathname + "@" + aTag.host:aTag.href;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    };
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    for (let comment of comments) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        let commentLinks = comment.querySelectorAll("a:not(.community-link)");
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        for (let aTag of commentLinks) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">            const isCommunityLink = aTag.pathname.startsWith("/c/");
</span><span style="color:#323232;">            aTag.href = isCommunityLink?aTag.pathname + "@" + aTag.host:aTag.href;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        };
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    };
</span><span style="color:#323232;">})();
</span>

It’s very far from being pretty (I especially hate how isCommunityLink works) so let me know if there’s a better way I can do this!

BeanCounter,

Big fan. I’m the mod of /c/[email protected]
