Yes smartphones and tablets have replaced desktops for most general users.

This is something people fail to realize, and I think part of it is because Linux people tend to surround themselves with other Linux people.

I have been helping my friend get into Linux, we picked a sensible distro, fedora, with the default gnome spin. He loves the UI, great.

But there is a random problem with his microphone, everything is garbled, I can’t recreate it on my hardware and it’s unclear.

He reads guides and randomly inputs terminal commands, things get borked, he re installs, cycle continues.

He tries a different distro, microphone works, but world of Warcraft is funky with lutris, so no go.

The result is, all of this shit just works on windows, and it just doesn’t on Linux. Progress has been made in compatibility, but, for example, there was a whole day of learning just about x vs Wayland and not actually getting to use the computer. For someone who has never opened a terminal before, something as simple to you and I as adding a package repo is completely gibberish

Yes you can learn all of this, but to quote this friend who has been trying Linux for the past two weeks “I’m just gonna re install windows and go back to living my life after work”

When you have 20 years of understanding windows, you need to be nearly 1 to 1 with that platform to get people to switch.

They influence the people watching them.

Well traditionally, cars only had one trunk, now it is common that they have two. The need arose to distinguish them, and ‘front trunk’ easily collapses into a nice single syllable portmanteau that makes communication simple and concise; the language evolves and a new word is born.

Generally green means go and red means no-go, regardless of which is the desired outcome.

The game explores the idea of choice and structure in modern video game narratives.

It’s presented to you in such a way that you feel like you can’t break away from the established narrative, everything you do has actually been planned and accounted for, and even intended by the developer.

Genuine question, since the code itself doesn’t infringe on IP (I think) wouldn’t the user executing the code be responsible for accepting the tos, not the repo.

The repo is just static non-compiled text files, it afaik isn’t actually communicating with their servers and therefore wouldn’t be able to accept any tos (implied or otherwise) (I don’t know if there are any actions, ci/cd pipelines, or deployments that would be in violation though)

It’s actually making me mad how close this was to my onboarding experience when I first started working with PLCs.

The test setup especially. Having to create this complex pseudo machine in order to make a preliminary proof of concept, only to find my IO block poached off my desk the next morning because someone else needed one.

Also, fuck having to deal with stl and ladder logic, if the industry minded towards more common languages and frameworks, you wouldn’t need to have mechanical engineers learning plc programming, you could have actual developers working on it.

Every second that I had to spend on software like tia portal drove me further and further away from industrial automation

Not trying to be pedantic, but did you mean 2023?

Glass cockpit is a specific term for flight decks that have replaced analog gauges with digital gauges and screens.

Pilots use the windows all of the time. They use it to look for traffic and for vfr approaches.

You are insufferable.

The key for me is the gpt can give you a pointed response to your broad question and then you can further research the now broken down problem.

For example, i may ask gpt: is there a tool that can translate knex style sql queries into what the queries that actually gets executed?

And then got responds with info about how to do that and I can then Google the specific things it responds with.

Ironic that the website itself is http.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghetto

Downvoted for this and the parent comment is upvoted for literally wanting immigrants to be segregated. Wtf is wrong with people here…

From the wiki article: A ghetto is a part of a city in which members of a minority group live, especially as a result of political, social, legal, religious, environmental or economic pressure.

This is what the parent comment wants, they want immigrants to be legally bound to certain areas within the country. They want immigrants bound to ghettos.

Amazon is one of the biggest tech companies in the world.

There is a good chance the instance you are browsing lemmy on is using Amazon hardware.

They are one of the premier IaaS and PaaS companies, as well as the owners of tons of platforms including websites like twitch.

It could unfold front to back, covering the hood and the trunk, taking up no more space than the car itself.

Or happened to be in the same place as someone who is looking up this type of thing (for example coworkers, or patrons of a park you visit often.)

In reality, the other data that can be gathered is more useful and easier to work with than trying to parse audio and video all the time.

And random social media text posts need to be taken with a cargo ship’s load worth of salt.

I’m willing to bet the adoption rate of ota recalls is way higher since you don’t have to a) be informed of the recall and b) go anywhere or do anything to get it, and c) dont have to hassle with cinvincing a dealership to give you a rental if the recall work takes a long time.
