Yup the readme reeks of llm generated fluff. Lately I find myself getting more and more suspicious whenever I see lots of emojis in markdown headers..

Ive installed the gtar formula and aliased it to tar. Cant be bothered to memorize the differences between macOS tar and unix tar, especially when the latter is considered to be the de facto standard

This has been ongoing for some time. I’ve raised valid issues in several encode projects and received rude/dismissive comments from this individual. I’ve reviewed their recent interactions with others on GitHub and it’s obvious that

If component prices keep going up and the respective monopoly/duopoly/triopoly for each component colludes to keep prices high/supply constrained, then eventually devices will become too expensive for the average consumer. So

Yup that’s why I suggested it. The vsdx schema is notably complex and I don’t see a lot of code examples in the wild. I seriously doubt an llm would be able to output working code for it. Docx is a common use case and a quick google searc

Citation needed. I know folks using the free plan that have gotten ddos’d and cloudflare kept them online. Can you point me to an article where cloudflare disconnected someone for getting attacked

Personally I gave up a long time ago and just installed Debian Linux. But it’s wild to me that the average non-technical/casual windows user has to put up with so much bs… it’s an atrocious ux

I’m using steam on Ubuntu 24.04 with 9y old hardware (which was mid-tier when new), playing mostly 2d platformer games and older resident evil titles. Never had any issues, this setup runs like a champ

There’s already a free self-hosted version of this that’s significantly more capable: https://github.com/C4illin/ConvertX . Not sure what your path to profitability is here but you may want to rethink your approach

It’s just another tool in the downsizing toolbox. Also traditional layoffs and RTO “layoffs” don’t have to be mutually exclusive, both can easily occur at the same time

I’ve got 90tb of Linux isos consisting of tens of thousands of files on 168tb of spinning rust. I’m running reasonably powerful hardware though (5600x + 128gb ram), suspect GP is bottlenecked by hardware

Agreed, but that’s not the point I’m making here. It’s not like this is some closed-source commercial product where the community can’t do anything about bugs/lack of features. My observation is simple: all of this time people spend c

Bemused by the number of people complaining about a free and open source project. A quick review of the git history tells me that it’s maintained by a very small group of people who generously work on this in their free time. Luckily je

I expect in person interviews are going to be the norm soon, assuming they’re not already. For now, the challenge I give candidates causes ChatGPT to produce convoluted code that a human never would. I then ask the person to explain the co

Some are, but not all. That’s why you do your research and pick reputable services. I’ve been a happy user of Mullvad & protonvpn for years. They’ve had ample opportunities to mitm me, but I reckon if it hasn’t happened by now it pro
