The internet would be a better place if you weren’t here

Hard to imagine a shittier thing someone could do in a comic thread

Alright, so you’ve changed your argument. Slang does not mean “an exaggeration.” I’m not trying to be the word police, it’s just hard to understand your argument if you aren’t using common definitions of words. You are arguing that the other person exaggerated, not that they are using slang. And to some degree, I agree with that.

I will also admit that my last response missed a key point. Open source projects have been struggling to keep up with garbage PRs that started once AI bots have had the ability to submit PRs themselves. Hell, it started before that, when people still had to submit their AI generated PRs. On the whole, PRs across projects have been more slop than before LLMs existed. In your dog example, it’d be as though a breeder specializing in breeding female dogs moved in and business was booming. Yes, not every dog coming into the vet is a bitch, but there are significantly more bitches coming in than before.

Ultimately, as they are right now, the net result of AI PRs is negative, so anyone choosing to release them is actively increasing the level of slop, even if a few of their changes aren’t themselves causing an issue. I’m not saying the people submitting them are malicious, just that they are contributing to an overall worse open source scene.

In what way is it not literal? I’ve had to work closely with AI in a software engineering capacity, and if you let the AI do anything unchecked for long it will spit out slop. Slop by Merriam-Webster definition, is “a product of little or no value” or “digital content of low quality that is produced usually in quantity by means of artificial intelligence” which sounds exactly like an unchecked claude bot randomly submitting PRs to open source projects would be producing.

Other than first-party Nintendo games, I do all my gaming on Linux

Are you referring to “slop” as slang? In what way is it slang?

I could see it being touched up by an LLM, but it doesn’t feel like it started as an LLM generation

I read the whole letter, I don’t really see any of the it’s not x, it’s y shape. I’ve unfortunately had to read a lot of AI generated content due to the nature of my work, and this letter really doesn’t sound like it to me. The em dashes are very present, but not really used in the places AI likes to use them.

Don’t change now if you don’t have an issues in my opinion. However, if you have the space for the jellyfin backup, it should be a pretty simple transition. I always prefer deploying using docker compose for all my services, I have backups of the compose files, and it handles all the networking between all the services (VPN, *arr stack, qbt, seer, jellyfin) When I had to move off of my ancient server after it kicked the bucket, it was as simple as copying my compose files, a single docker deployment per stack, and loading the backups for specific services. I’ve not had any issues with Jellyfin on docker, but I am using GPU passthrough to allow for hardware accelerated transcoding.

I was as well. Put off buying it for years, as I am the patient gamer who waits for deals. I caved after playing Satisfactory and still having the itch to build factories

I think it’s cute, but I cannot agree with selective breeding for defects, so I would never own one

Apple

This is how I do it. As soon as I sit down, it’s over. Really annoying when I am working with friends/family who always want to take a lunch break, because they insist I join them and I lose all my steam if I do.

I think past thunderbolt 4 you get 2 displays daisy chained off of one port. I have a thunderbolt 5 port and I run 2 4k monitors off of it

The inclusion of Indigo was hotly debated for a few hundred years, apparently not everyone can see 7 colors in the rainbow, only 6. It’s a (mildly) interesting story worth looking into. As for the order, yeah he really fucked up

Yeah, I was going to say that this is the bare minimum of public decency, if you don’t think this is normal behavior you are a plague on this earth.

Pannenkoek has so many sm64 videos covering the most niche topics, you’ve got plenty of content there if you are hearing of him for the first time

The only missing ones these days are consoles, since they have proprietary codebases that Godot doesn’t support. There are companies/tools you can pay for to port them over, but those are really expensive ($800/year for the most popular one)

Language isn’t set in stone, and when people use the term “algorithm” when referring to the system in place that decides what content is put in front of them, people understand what they mean. No one gets this algorithm mixed up with the math/computer science term algorithm.

The discord one is slightly different, but I’d argue it isn’t that harmful, as Discord “servers” function effectively as a server from a user point of view. The only problem with this nomenclature is that it somewhat implies to a layperson that there is some form of privacy/security in place, which there isn’t.

A pedant’s job is never done, huh?
