Seems like an efficient way to take the fun out of watching sports to me personally. The whole sportsbook thing is less of a novelty to people like me from the UK though; we’ve already been through the cycle of the adverts becoming so obnoxious that there is a consumer backlash and regulation ends up getting tightened again.
Not sure why people are downvoting you. It’s a simple enough task that the risk of LLM hallucination is very low.
Suspect it is just from people who dislike AI but in my experience using it as a replacement search engine for some stackoverflow type questions is about the only useful thing I’ve gotten it to do.
Neighbour took me out on a dog walk on a hill and to stop me stepping on rabbit shit she told me that was where baby rabbits came from. Took a few years to untangle that in my brain!
Less of a problem on lemmy but mastodon has a lot of accounts posting anime pictures that are not necessarily illegal but are weird - like children dressed as animals or with animal features.
Not sure if there’s anything you can do about people just being weird but often other users will boost a different post by the account, which will be a meme or something, so the accounts end up on your timeline. If you click through to see more similar memes you get greeted with a profile where they are clearly not a teen but are pretending to be one or similar…
idk I suppose my complaint is that the culture is overly tolerant of creepy behaviour.
I’d recommend getting to grips with the fundamentals of python or JavaScript first before jumping in but Godot is a great open source tool for picking up some gamedev after you are used to the basics.
This would be my recommendation too. Hilarious and thought provoking in equal measure.
The Archers is hugely popular and I’m a big radio4 listener but have never got into it. I understand that twee is supposed to be part of the charm but it just doesn’t gel with me.
I liked coffee, beer and spicy food right from the first time I tried them.
Anchovies were a personal challenge that I undertook - putanesca pasta was fine but the first time I tried them on pizza I thought they were unbearable. Over the decades I might get one anchovie pizza a year and each time I found them more palatable, but it was a bit of an exercise in willpower. Recently, it has paid off and I’ve found that I love them. Many pizzeria’s don’t offer them because they are so unpopular but if I get the chance I’ll eat them; has displaced peperoni as my favourite topping.
Using window managers that have shortcuts for tiles improves both the UX and general productivity. I’m not quite so elitist as to say the point and click GUIs are objectively worse but power users are missing out if they don’t invest some time in learning keyboard based window management.
Had definitely been hoping for some magnum dong
Yeah the satyrs had enormous dongs because they were animalistic sex maniacs while learned people demonstrated their mild temperment by having modest genitalia. Michaelangelo’s David is a famous example of the latter. Disappointed to not see the former in Disney’s Hercules.
I’ve just installed gentoo on my grandmother’s PC and left a post it note with some basic portage commands. No complaints so far! Since they lost their phone I’ve not received an annoying tech support email for weeks
flamiera SLAMS new age SLOP words for their ubiquity
Kind of splitting hairs there imo. MPV does show the album art if it is on the audiofile metadata for example. I think cmus would fail to be a dedicated music player given your definition.
I still get reddit content by using old.reddit.com/r/subreddit.rss so that I can consume certain content without interacting with their hellsite or bloated app
To flex on strangers online and post to unixporn fora
I studied philosophy and history of art as a double major for undergraduate. Doing a humanities degree was the right decision at the time for me. Should mention that I didn’t have to pay tuition fees as a Scottish person in Scotland.
During that degree I ended up getting interested in Linux since I enjoyed seeing a practical example of altruism in the real world. Laterally I did a masters in Computing at a former polytechnic uni and have been working as a programmer ever since. Analytic philosophy actually maps onto coding really nicely since they are both ultimately concerned with discrete mathematics. I did have to take on a student loan for that degree but it didn’t take me long to pay it off. It wasn’t computer science since I didn’t have the prerequisite STEM undergraduate degree but it focused on practical aspects of computing like developing desktop applications with Java, webdev with C# and JS, databases with SQL and introduction to operating systems.
It also helped that in my advanced logic classes in philosophy I’d studied the Church Turing thesis, which is just about the most fundamental concept in Comp.Sci.
Shh we’re trying to circlejerk here! Keep your voice of reason down and grab some lotion
