The Vietnam war was broadly supported through most of it. We tend to rewrite stuff like that to make ourselves feel better. To give you an idea of how screwed up public opinion was, on the Kent state massacre, “A Gallup poll found 58 percent blamed the Kent students for their own deaths. Only 11 percent blamed the National Guard.”

This is some far right shit?

Firefox finally added desktop client PWA support so they’re announcing it, and for whatever reason Windows didn’t squelch it during a full screen session like it’s set up to do by default.

In the article it’s how Putin phrases it. But, it’s also how anti-air missiles typically work. So…

Monitors at Walmart still have VGA available, so someone must be using it.

Also a bit weird in that they have a “modern” set of just VGA/HDMI, as a monitor of the period would have DVI, too. Think DVI wasn’t ever really a thing except for power users though.

Yes, saving is definitely not a thing in any app...

What I was specifically referencing there though is that Linux distro upgrade installers universally suck AFAIK. They break left and right and when they do they basically take out the system. Otherwise, Windows’ behavior there does suck a fair bit

Windows also does most of its updating silently while handling its major version upgrades a lot more elegantly.

Youngins. They’re talking about the entirety of Windows and calling it all a solitaire game. EG - Windows 98’s minimum requirement was 16 MB, and 95’s was 4 MB.

It has been quite a while so I’m fuzzy on it, but I had a board with a status LED and it would stay on for a bit as the capacitors drained? Generally a good thing to watch when you wanted to properly pull power from it for whatever reason though, especially with how often I was thoroughly crashing it and then resetting things with my overclocks. :P

Nah, there are good reasons to dislike LLMs and GenAI. I’m just not gonna waste my time on it.

[–] CabbageRelish@midwest.social 3 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Have you seriously applied them at all?

I’m well aware of the limitations of LLMs and I use them when it works.
