Vent,

Only if you’re using a bad font that doesn’t differentiate between I and l

Vent,

I was assuming it was all uppercase

Vent,

We should follow Calculus’s example and represent all lowercase l’s as ℓ

Or just add serifs to I even in sans serif fonts

Vent,

I’ve been using a single-burner induction cooktop as my primary cooktop for over a year now, and it’s awesome. I very rarely need more than one burner, and have never needed more than two. Paying $50 for a cooktop vs $5000 for a range is a pretty easy choice.

I also have a large toaster oven and generally avoid any dishes that would require a full-size oven. That toaster oven was not cheap, though, unlike the induction cooktop.

Vent,

The gentle breeze that a microwave venthood blows 6 inches above your head isn’t exactly premium-grade ventilation. It’s not even ventilation at all, really. The gas is just moved like a foot up before it fills the room.

Vent,

Step 1: Open can

Step 2: Spoon from can into mouth

Vent,

I guess the Overwatch market is wide open ever since Overwatch self destructed

Vent,

That’s more of a Counter Strike clone. The “abilities” are more akin to CS utilities like smokes and flashes than they are to Overwatch characters. The rest of the game is pretty much a direct copy of CS.

Vent,

“Data will not leak across workspaces because trust us.”

Yeah, and every other LLM has demonstrated such great abilities to avoid reproducing training material 🙄

Vent,

I, for one, welcome our all-almost-knowing trade-secret-leaking waste-of-time-and-resources LLM overlords

Proton Annual Survey: Gentle reminder to kindly ask for a Linux Client for Drive, now. (www.youtube.com)

The link right here goes to 40:02 of Proton’ boss on the TLE channel about Linux support, where a Drive Client is deemed so difficult to achieve that they don’t even have a roadmap for it. Nor is the word “Linux” featured anywhere on proton’s pages about Drive....

Focus of my survey:

  1. I don’t care about LLMs
  2. Focus on core products instead of making new stuff

I’ll be interested to see the results on how everyone else reacted to all of the AI questions.

Vent,

Puddle jumper is a common term for small planes that are used to cross a small-ish body of water like a lake.

Vent,

And even more ironically for interstellar travel

Vent,

The measure signed by DeSantis would also launch a study of small nuclear reactor technology, expand the use of vehicles powered by hydrogen and enhance electric grid security, according to the governor’s office.

Got some whiplash at the end there after reading some of the most dumbass policies that’ve ever been written.

Vent,

You know what they say: the only thing that can stop a TikTok with a knife is a Facebook with a knife.

Vent,

8 dead and 40 hospitalized with a high probability that more will die all because some bozo decided to drive drunk? It wasn’t even a real “truck”, just a pickup truck. Absolute nightmare scenario.

Vent,

Devices should never accidentally bend. Unless you drove over it with a car, chances are it wasn’t your fault.

Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says (www.cbsnews.com)

Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....

Vent,

If you order online, Subway always has a coupon to get footlongs for ~$7, which is about $5 from 2010 adjusted for inflation. They have a lot of perpetual coupons that they rotate the codes on about once per month, but there’s always an up-to-date list on the subway subreddit.

Vent,

WARNING: This update removes the ability to hide the navbar so they can push useless AI features on you.

Vent, (edited )

Thanks for sharing, I’ll try it out! Absolutely ridiculous that you need to install TWO apps to restore a basic feature like hiding the navbar. But I guess we have to do whatever’s necessary to endure this corporate race to the bottom everyone seems to be highly invested in.

Edit: that workaround worked for me! Thanks again!

Vent,

Oh good, I'll fire a few thousand people and add this to my collection!

Vent,

I’m having a hard time envisioning the flexibility required to make that work. It couldn’t have been both at the ends at the same time? Also, did this kid just get naked in front of everyone at their party? To each their own, I guess.

Vent,

Ah, that makes sense. I was thinking more like a mini-m&m tube.
