No one was worried their razr flip phone text auto complete had feelings. This isn't any different. You'll be tempted to think it is different, or more advanced, but it isn't. LLMs just have more money than the razr auto complete did.

Making your bed is, at best, a performative waste of time... in c/unpopularopinion@lemmy.world

It makes it more comfortable to sleep in.

I have absolutely no idea where that comes from. Do you all sleep like Dracula? My bedding is usually tussled about within minutes of me laying in bed. Blankets balled up for knee support, one leg sticking out for temperature venting. I couldn’t imagine sliding under the covers and laying perfectly supine like Vladimir Lenin.

You fold your clothes after you clean them? Why, your clothes are just going to get wrinkled anyway.

You eat your food without blending it all up in a blender first? Why, your stomach mixes it all up anyway.

You take a shower? Why, you're just going to get dirty again anyway.

You wash your hands after you shit? Why, you're just going to shit again the next day.

You make slippery slope arguments? Why, you can just frame them as unpopular opinions.

Use the time and space machine on a ruler and send it back in time a pico second, then a millisecond, then a thousand, then a second, then a minute. You just have to calibrate with measurements first.

I think they mean, why is the girl looking left over her shoulder so far and she already behind the boy. Also, way outclassed.

I had an uncle who got into breeding cats. There are dog breeders, why not cat breeders he thought. The trouble, he said, was all the scratches he got on his dick.

There's some good driving sims that could help the anxiety. Safe place to practice if you live in one of the places without public transport.

Is having a place to live consumerism? Don't need a mcmansion. Not suggesting tiny home shit, but there's a lower bound for shelter as a human right.

[discuss] Errantry, jrr Tolkien first mumble rapper (lemmy.world)

I was just introduced to errantry by jrr Tolkien. This thing is fire.

There's a polygon video by Brian David Gilbert where he explains the triplet flow used by a lot of mumble rappers, and then he goes on to rap the three -syllable Pokemon names. Great vid and a great rap. I mention it because the triplet part has always stuck in my head and gotten into my own writing. It was interesting to find triplets in an old jrr Tolkien poem.

Anyway, was jrr Tolkien the first mumble rapper? ~~Ant~~ Any other good old poems that use triplets?

Impedance, floating (lemmy.world)

What's the difference between impedance and when a pin on a microchip is floating?

I get the basics of impedance. I'm capacitive impedance it's a build up of charge. Like air in a balloon. In resistive impedance it's a build up of the magnetic field, like a flywheel.

A floating pin isn't connected to anything reference voltage so it can fluctuate with surrounding interference or whatever.

Why do some ICs have tri state, low, high, and high impedance? Isn't high impedance the same thing as floating?

If it is high impedance that means it had to be connected to something, right? ~~Don't~~ Some kind of big capacitor or inductor in the chip?

Saw a "deer hearse" sticker the other day. So nice these guys have an outlet to express themselves. Like Lisa Frank stickers.

T-shirts sleeves that poof out (lemmy.world)
 

Poofy tshirt sleeves are the worst. Is there a name for how the sleeves are cut? When my arms are at my sides I want the hem of the sleeves to be touching my arms, not shooting out at 45 degrees. Same for any short sleeve type shirt.

There was an author before lovecraft, I believe he was an ambulance driver in ww 1, or something. I know he was on ww 1 and one of the stories talked about how much that shit sucked. I think he's died young, like 20s. Had a few published stories.

Ring any bells for anyone?

GPL + butt hole? (lemmy.world)
 

License stuff came up the other day. Got me wondering.

Could I use something like the mit or GPL license, but add a requirement that anyone that uses the software had to send me a pic of their butthole?

What is the use case for this GPL + bhole license?

Memes mostly. It world also need to have an age of majority clause.

Then if the library actually gets picked up somewhere it would be a good extortion tactic.

Debian on beagle bone black, basics? (lemmy.world)
 

Messing around with Linux for the first time in a bbb.

I've learned things like ls -1al, those types of basics.

I'm getting the picture that Debian for the bbb is kind of bare bones, no pun intended. Is that right?

I'm interested in some bigger picture basics like that. Any suggestions for resources?

Selfhosted rss w/ push? (lemmy.world)
 

With Google podcast dying I'm looking for a replacement.

I'd like to unchain myself from the corpos if I can too. So I'm not interested in another pod catcher that'll just try to monetize me.

Are there are self hosted rss readers with push? That seems like a great solution for pods and just about anything else I might want to keep up with.
