ok I must be losing my mind then. I could have sworn it required something like this: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31qtoUfewyL.jpg I remember as a kid going to a babages and picking up a copy and a guy was like “does your computer have a keyboard card? otherwise it wont’ work” and then I swore it was also stated on the box…but christ now I might have just been dreaming it.

and with the fact you have to verify in the UK…nah I’m glad I deleted my bsky account.

Remember when Star Wars Shadows of the Empire came out on PC and apparently, it’s been awhile so maybe I’m not remembering correctly, but you needed a special card for your keyboard to play it?

And now the important question: Sir, exactly how many interns have YOU sacrificed to Micorosoft Khorne? how many skulls did you provide for his throne?

when I moved to Linux a couple years ago I felt the exact same way. I dont’ know how old you are but maybe you remember that feeling logging into win 95 or 98 for the very first time and falling in love with computers and what they could do.

I hadn’t felt that way in decades and when I switched to Linux it made me feel like I was a kid again in the late 90s with my very first PC. Switching to Linux made me fall in love with Computers again.

basically “autopilot” for claude code.

I can tell you exactly what happened. “Hey Claude, I need to configure and setup a DB with Firebase to store images from our application.” and then promptly hit shift+tab and then went to go browse Reddit.

nothing was tested. nothing was verified. They let the AI do its thing they checked in on it after an hour or so. once it was done it was add all, commit -m “done”, push origin master. AI doesn’t implement security stuff. there was zero security here.

if you utilize it as a tool it’s fine. it can be a good rubber duck or github copilot saves you like 2 seconds to just hit tab to complete something that’s correct in the preview. But utilizing it to do anymore than that and you’ve lost. Claude will constantly make things up or tell you to use libraries that have been orphaned for like 5+ years.

anyone who says “it can help you write better code” are fooling themselves. I’ve yet to see it.

Claude AI does this ALL the time too. It NEEDS to give a solution, it rarely can say “I don’t know” so it will just completely make up a solution that it thinks is right without actually checking to see the solution exists. It will make/dream up programs or libraries that don’t and have never existed OR it will tell you something can do something when it has never been able to do that thing ever.

And that’s just how all these LLMs have been built. they MUST provide a solution so they all lie. they’ve been programmed this way to ensure maximum profits. Github Copilot is a bit better because it’s with me in my code so it’s suggestions, most of the time, actually work because it can see the context and whats around it. Claude is absolute garbage, MS Copilot is about the same caliber if not worse than Claude, and Chatgpt is only good for content writing or bouncing ideas off of.

I mean Israel is in Eurovision so…Wouldn’t you like Our Lady Peace or Matthew Good to compete in that too? Sloan is also really great. I won’t mention the obvious ones…

2 weeks? it was a lot longer than that. I mean hell there was a god damn multi-part comic about the “war” between digg and reddit. early reddit was a cringefest.

can’t. the ones that are still there wouldn’t understand how to use lemmy and the fediverse and they’ll just bash for the same reasons that bsky users bash mastodon. They want things to “just work” out of the box and are too lazy to figure things out.

Canadian Here. prior to the election? we’d be welcoming. now? there seems to be a general sense of “we don’t what that idiocy here” the right-wing cons of Canada would likely embrace Americans but the general consensus with my friends and family is that Americans are now considered morons (left and right leaning).

happens on every “new” social media platform that is similar to another social media platform. Was all over Lemmy when people were “boycotting” reddit…course most went right back to reddit when the boycotting was over.

sure, VERY old wallpaper that I (and like many) have had for years. wallpaper link

improved my lemmy experience ten fold just blocking that instance.

honestly the ONLY reason I’m still on Linkedin is the entertainment value. Threads by game devs are just…wild. just that ONE specific group provides a great hearty chuckle in the morning without insanely idiotic they are.

You want to read threads by individuals who think they float on water, their shit don’t stink, and each one is a personal jesus and then fight with each other over it? go read threads by game devs on linkedin.

I think you’re lost. reddit.com/r/worldnews is that way ->

same with me and /r/Toronto got banned for stating a long dead prime minister was horrible to indigenous people. they used the excuse that I was submitting too many articles about crimes in the city as that subreddit’s mods automatically remove any content about crime or pro Palestinian content.

Post god knows how many photos of the CN tower, the fucking sun setting or snow…hey that’s great! anything that’s news worthy and potentially paints the city in a bad light? nope, censored. It’s so bad that i’m convinced the mods there are being paid under the table by the City.

yeah after posting this I read the story on Destructoid about it. It worked. it was a meh game but the only reason I wanted to play it was because of that box.
