I miss the old tts voices and now everything is ai generated garbage :( Bring back the robot voices!

That's why we use JavaScript on the front end, JavaScript on the back end, and you can streamline it even more by using JavaScript for the db layer too. After all, if you have too much data to be reasonably parsed in a single .json file, you are probably just architecting wrong.

And then power toys shortcuts conflict with the standard shortcuts and requires a ton of fiddling and customizing configs. You know, the thing windows users always say is a reason they don't want to use linux.

That should also come up in a reviews also. Not trying to imply one guy should get fired as a scapegoat, just talking from experience how much it sucks to know your code caused major issues.

So the actual outage comes down to pre-allocating memory, but not actually having error handling to gracefully fail if that limit is or will be exceeded... Bad day for whoever shows up on the git blame for that function

It does look very chonky, and not very aesthetically pleasing.

However, as a heavy user of the steam deck over the past year, I am super excited. The track pads and the extra inputs on the steam deck give so much flexibility to play games that otherwise wouldn't work well with controller at all. I'm just hoping it feels better (or at least not worse) than the steam deck in terms of ergonomics. I plan on getting one for my desktop PC.

I've seen some people say they got fusion 360 working on linux with bottles, but I didn't have any luck with it. I use OpenSCAD and FreeCAD for making models to print, but if you need Fusion360 specifically for work (or specific Adobe products) then you are kind of stuck unless your company is ok with a change. You won't be able to view or edit other people's Fusion360 files without that specific application. You can always run Windows in a VM on linux and install only the applications you need it for there. If you have a good enough PC that is viable, but isn't a great experience on a lower end system.

My 8 and 9 year old kids use xubuntu on a 2013 macbook air. They use it for writing stories, making a lot of pixel art with Piko Pixel, and some code block style programming with Lego Spike. They are learning about multi-user systems, file management, etc. I'm keeping an eye out for a cheap pc that can run Minecraft (lots of those right now since people are just trashing old win 10 machines) because the older kid wants to learn how to make Minecraft mods.

Also the fact that a lot of the big firms really seem to be just interested in it as a way to get more user data. People will share some pretty sensitive info with an LLM that they wouldn't otherwise provide.

Running locally is definitely the way to go, if you're going to use them.

Only exception I have seen was when the professor was kind of a troll. He was a good teacher. This was in a pretty entry level physics class at a tech school, so we basically got a high school level physics as a pre-req for our degree in whatever 2 year program we were in.

He spent the week leading up to the first big test talking about how hard it was, how people needed to take it seriously, etc.

He handed out the grades after and everyone was visibly upset, nobody had a passing grade. Then he explained, after letting us freak out for a minute, that the score at the top was out of 50, not 100 and I think everyone passed

After that the class pretty fun.

This is amazing! I will definitely be making use of this

Expeditions are amazing, but I've only finished one because I'm usually out of the loop and start them way late. It would be amazing if they brought old ones back into rotation so people who are new or just missed them could earn the rewards eventually. I feel like they have enough now to make a pretty good rotation without feeling repetitive
