In my opinion yes, unfortunately. It’ll suffer from Gartner hype cycle soon but it’ll recover and will slowly get better every year to the point it’s really good.

The worst thing is that I don’t see any “stop sign”. Like f.e. with self driving cars it was kind of obvious that it’ll get ridiculously complex in real life situations, thus having a problem with legislation and mass adoption. But with AI? I don’t know, I don’t see any stop sign … Maybe that it never reaches this high mark we all expect?

Fell in love with it when I visited Bavaria ♥️

I never thought I’d witness the release of 3.0 in my lifetime

So true, put this on a tea cup!

I was there for a teambuilding! Beautiful city, I want to return one day

A classmate of mine from elementary school is a professional voleyball player. She traveled the world, played for teams in Europe, Middle east and Asia. Eventually she settled in the exact same village as me on the completely oposite side of the country from where we grew up. I didn’t even know until my wife told me that one of our neighbours was born in the same town as me

When it comes to Christmas movies my most favorite ones are:

• Joulutarina (Finnish)
• Listy do M (Polish)

9gag, they also have 816. Is this where the screenshot is from?

Citroen Saxo, everything was SO cheap. I remember I had to replace a side mirror and a new one was like … 30€? And I was able to do it myself.

Replacing a side mirror on my Octavia was almost 500€!

I mean, probably not equally but isn’t it sort of true?

Wait, oh no. No, no no no no no Lemmy no! I can explain! No! Don’t hurt downvote me!

Hi, first of all sorry for all the downvotes and people not telling you why - c/asklemmy is meant for more generic, openended questions. If you need help, then try one of the programming communities or maybe stackoverflow.com. Not sure how many such communities we have on Lemmy but I’m sure we can find some

Edit - to people downvoting, don’t be dicks, we aren’t on reddit anymore 🙂 We’re relatively small group of people here, try to be helpful instead and suggest the right communities 👍

Yeah, well maybe you should put this into your graph as a choice. You might not like it but Ubuntu still has a major support for anything Linux related. Any manufacturer or software development - if they support Linux, there is a high chance that they mean basically Ubuntu, quite often they tested it just there. This is a HUGE advantage for any beginner.

Beginners don’t care about behind the curtain stuff, they just want things to work. And you might not like Canonical but Ubuntu does this

Counted calories, ate less, reduced sugar, flour and potato consumption. No exercise.

Exercising has a lot of health benefits and helps with loosing weight but food consumption is the most important.

Eventually I started running but this was after I lost weight. If exercising demotivates you, don’t force it

AI generation can be used for disinformation which can literally destabilize or right away end the world as we know it.

But fake Taylor Swift pictures, this is where we draw the line …

I mean Notepad++ is like a monument to Microsoft incompetence and them not caring about technically minded people for decades. Where a single guy beats trillion dollar company’s ass, actually not just beats, absolutely destroys big time. And they were either not able or didn’t care with responding and providing some power text editor. The fact that their OS was able to acquire any significant market share in developer’s community is an ultimate triumph of marketing department

I’d see 2 reasons:

1. A lot of people put a lot of money into it and they won’t give them up. They’ll keep buying and selling, keeping it sort of artificially afloat even if it has no real world usage. Well there is actually one which leads me to the next point
2. The illegal market (and gambling) has a use case for cryptocurrencies so they actually use them

But to put it simply - they don’t die because they don’t have to. There is no single company that would pull the plug. By it’s design, they can coexist in our world and no one can stop it, doesn’t matter if people use it or not

It’s like a torrent with millions of seeders. As long as there is at least one seeder, the torrent will exist even if the files it contains aren’t really useful

Of course they will! This is the sad, sad reality of todays internet - the power is so centralized in the hands of like 4 companies, that every business basically can’t ignore them. Like you can but by that you’re just hurting yourself from the business point of view. Elon Musk can literally say Fuck You to advertisers and they still need to advertise there. This is just crazy. On nation level the anti-monopoly bureau would take action but we don’t have world wide anti-monopoly bureau.

That’s why when people tell me “Oh, Elon Musk just bankrupted Twitter” I say “Did he?”. At this point I believe he can do anything he wants, he can murder like dozen people, blow up the headquartes or start selling drugs to children and Twitter would still be fine

Enough phone and laptop chargers to not have to constantly go to another room to grab one.

Yes! I had enough of this so I bought like 6 USB-C cables at once, best buy ever

That’s a good question. It’s hard to go back to my teen years but I’d suggest:

• buy a musical instrument and learn to play it, really doesn’t mater which one. Especially during college years everyone who could play anything was suddenly a superstar
• buy some book to learn some skill, again doesn’t matter that much what you learn. I don’t know, like mixing cocktails? Sounds fun. For example by accident I learned “reading of hands”. I quickly learned that it’s bullshit but boy, was it an interresting thing to perform during parties in college
• Nothing really comes to my mind regarding of profesional development. Really at your level most of the stuff you can learn is free online and you don’t need anything expensive
