I think there should be some kind of a tax or a fine for anyone who comes up or even suggests a new acronym. Regardless of the field. While I do agree with the article on some level, I still think even a randomly picked word from the dictionary is better than YAA (Yet Another Acronym).

Most ps1 games only supports the d-pad. If you have a dualshock controller but want to move your dude with the analog stick instead of the d-pad, you activate the analog mode.

Dope, I guess I never played a PS1 game that was written for DPAD only.

My biggest issue with LLMs right now is that they're such spineless yes men. Even when you ask their opinion on if something is doable or should it be done in the first place, more often than not they just go "Absolutely!" and shit out a broken answer or an anti-pattern just to please you. Not always, but way too often. You need to frame your questions way too carefully to prevent this.

Maybe some of those character.ai models are sassy enough to have stronger opinions on code?

both if and may in a single title. that's so cool

Cool, found this gem with it.

Boom!

Maybe add a search/filter to the results. I had to browse through 4 whole pages to make sure your post is actually there!

HTML was a mistake. I think banning XML would make the world a better place.

so you don’t use websites?

How would I be here if I didn't?

How do you think the page was rendered?

with an old mistake of a language

they're just competing with the urban dictionary for relevance and rizz

The word for copper is a native uralic word and thus it's hypothesized that the uralic speakers unlocked the bronze age independently.

Native copper could be found pretty readily in prehistory

Why not? Everyone's using it on their steamdeck with no problems. Outdated attitude. If you're not technically competent you shouldn't use windows because it's harder to use than linux or mac.

"If you're not technically competent you shouldn't use windows because it's harder to use than linux or mac".

Harder but easier and less challenging. The distinction I would make is for users who are comfortable interpreting the command line and those who aren't. That comfort level is what should dictate the user's decision to opt for linux vs windows/mac.

(PS: IMO, mac power use often requires the CLI, but macOS has built-in some guardrails to prevent noob users from completely messing up the system. Linux has no such guardrails).

It's much easier to us the command line on unix-likes than on windows, but it's not really a necessity. I know linux users who say they never use the terminal because they don't want to, and they're doing just fine.

Have you guys even used linux in the recent years? Sure it's a bit janky sometimes but so is windows and only getting worse. You can get quite far with linux by using graphical package management apps only, and now with steam you can even install games as easily as on windows.

Linux is way easier and more intuitive to use even for a novice than windows. I don't get why people think windows is somehow easy to use.

The use of the command line stopped being mandatory years ago. Everything that an average user is likely to do can be done though the GUI, just like other OSes.

> users who are comfortable interpreting the command line

Why would you need to do that?

How is that relevant to someone switching to Linux desktop? Android is also Linux and also not relevant.
