I use Claude, I find it best for technical tasks and I ditched ChatGPT when they started bending over for Trump.

I like the idea of creating software and things in general, but I’ve never really been interested in programming. Having a bit that can do the boring part for me has made lots of stupid little projects possible where they wouldn’t have been before. I also use it to research for me on random boring topics which might otherwise have taken me at least an hour. I know people talk about protecting all these sites that require humans to visit but then I remember how many times I’ve tried to look up a recipe and instead got somebodies life story. Or times when over tried to look up a command and had to scroll past ten paragraphs of filler crap before I get to the answer.

    Get fucked Russia. Of course you don’t want these forces in Ukraine. All this stuff Russia moans about wouldn’t exist if they’d stop “liberating” bits of other countries.

    I know a lot of people nowadays talk about nuclear as this abundant energy source which is much cleaner than fossil fuels but this is exactly what was being said around the 70s, then we had two huge nuclear disasters. There’s two generations here that have starkly different views of nuclear energy.

    I’m not a professional solderer or anything but I had a training course by a bunch of people who do it to a very high level, like they spend all day pulling off and examining chips on boards, etc. They said that you don’t normally need flux, you just need to apply hear properly with the iron. During the whole course the only time they used flux was when they were re-soldering a chip.

    Ukraine is never going to accept that the land Russia has stolen is actually “Russia”. I would have thought that Russia would require that Ukraine and the West recognise them as Russian territory. I expect there will be some kind of ceasefire that just goes on and on.

    Honestly, it’s pretty left wing and there can be duplicates of communities. There’s far less content than on Reddit but I find that better because I lost weeks of my life doom scrolling on Reddit. I hit a point on here where I just have to wait for more stuff to appear. One good thing about that is you can comment on something and actually be heard. Not like on Reddit where all but the most niche communities have 200+ comments on each post.

    Also, and this is a big one, you have to be running Linux.

    Makes sense but Packman’s for proprietary media codecs and stuff right? What’s the alternative? I want those codecs. Is there a way of getting it to never try to overtake what’s available on the official repos?
