Beautiful. I’m very sorry for your loss. I know he loved you as much as you loved him.❤️

Programming@programming.dev•Are there programmers that still don't use AI?
15·1 day agoNever used it. Don’t see any reason to. I just type stuff in my IDE. Works like a charm.
Most of the time I’m not writing large volumes or boilerplate code or anything, I’m making precise changes to solve specific problems. I doubt there’s any LLM that can do that more effectively than a programmer with real knowledge of the code base and application domain.
I also work on open source software and we haven’t seen a meaningful uptick in good contributions due to AI over the last few years. So if there’s some mythical productivity increase happening, I’m just not seeing it.

Linux@programming.dev•Bcachefs creator claims his custom LLM is 'fully conscious'
17·1 day agoYeah… I’ve always heard a lot of big talk from him about bcachefs that didn’t seem to be very easy to verify with any concrete data or benchmarks, but now I’m starting to maybe see why.
Delusional thinking and LLMs are a bad combo.

Anime@ani.social•Evangelion New Series Announcement Video 2026-02-23
2·2 days agoAdditional info:
- Directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki (End of Evangelion, FLCL, Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX)
- Written by Yoko Taro (Nier game series, Nier Automata Ver1.1a anime)
- Music composed by Keiichi Okabe (Nier, Tekken)
After 20 years of Evangelion rebuilds I was kind of ready to see Khara and Tsurumaki move on to something new, but I’m more excited and interested in this announcement than I thought I would be thanks to the intriguing trailer and drastically different production crew. If nothing else I think it’ll be really interesting where they take this show, and the high quality background art of the teaser showing a bunch of musical instruments in an overgrown environment makes me think that they are going to make a serious attempt at making something cool and new.
They got me hooked!

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•AMD Risks a Hefty 20% of Its Company To Enter Into 'Mega' AI Deals, With the Latest Venture Tied to a Meta Agreement for Next-Gen Infrastructure
3·2 days agoDislike. But I guess I can’t blame them for letting someone else hold the bag.
Just here to comment that there are so many songs listed in this thread that I like: Black Hole Sun, Rooster, No Rain, Wonderful Christmastime, Born to Run, Bohemian Rhapsody, etc.
None of these are my favorite songs or bands, but I like them.

Stoat also seems pretty good, though it’s more centralized than I’d like.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Phoebe Gates wants her $185 million AI startup to succeed with 'no ties to my privilege or my last name': 'I have a chip on my shoulder' | Fortune
8·3 days agoFirst, I’m not mad at you. 😅
Second, laws and regulation doing prevent people from doing bad things, they only disincentivize them. A life sentence for murder sadly doesn’t prevent murders from happening. But we agree that it’s important to dissuade would-be murderers.
I just don’t like the defeatist attitude around this stuff. We can fight this exploitation of workers and creatives, and we should. This is not a legitimate way to do business.

241·3 days agoI agree with that. However, as I’ve discussed in other areas, the theft itself may be too far gone to catch the criminals. It’s akin to a crime from past generations, since AI research is so fast.
Bullshit.
The crime is happening right here, right now. Our ancestors put slavery, child labor, robber barons, and segregation to an end, and yet we are somehow powerless to stop corporations from being beholden to the very copyright laws that they helped create?
Bull-shit, my friend. We can do better.

74·3 days agoImagine being born with a silver fuckin’ spoon in your mouth and still having a chip on your shoulder.
You wouldn’t have a $185,000,000 AI startup if your dad wasn’t Bill Gates, and he wouldn’t have been the who he was if it wasn’t for his parent’s connections to the tech industry back in the 1970s. Would it kill you to have some fucking perspective?

1·3 days agoI don’t think I am. How else do you verify a person’s age?
So far the options seem to be:
- AI video facial recognition (privacy nightmare)
- Government ID verification (privacy nightmare)
I suppose you could use a credit card transaction, but so far nobody seems to be going that route.
Regardless, ALL of this shit is a poor substitute for decent parenting.

Linux@lemmy.world•I tried to install Pop! and broke my system and really really need help if anyone is willing
11·3 days agoFirst, calm down! There’s pretty much no way you broke your computer doing this, and unless you installed Linux over your C: drive by mistake, then you probably didn’t even accidentally lose any data.
I really thought I was doing it right and installing Pop to my second D drive to leave windows alone but somehow it completely broke Windows and I can load into that, only Pop!
Dual-booting is kind of a mess at the best of times. In the future I would recommend backing up ALL of your important data before doing anything involving partitions or OS installed, regardless of whether it’s Linux or Windows.
Assuming you didn’t install over your Windows install or anything like that, then your Windows partitions and stuff should still be there on your other drive. There are a couple of things you can try in order to confirm that your data is still where you left it.
-
Reboot your PC and press whatever key is needed to enter into your UEFI/BIOS menu OR your boot device selection menu. From there you should be able to try to instruct your computer to boot directly into whatever drive you think has Windows installed on it. If that works, you should still be able to boot into Windows (and then back up your important data!).
-
If for whatever reason you still can’t boot into Windows, another thing you can try is to “mount” your old Windows NTFS drive within Linux using something
sudo mount /dev/YOURPARTITION /mnt, where YOURPARTITION is whatever NTFS partition your C drive is on (it’ll probably be something like “/dev/sdX” or “/dev/nvmeXnY”). Once you’ve mounted your C drive to /mnt, you should be able to use thecdandlscommand to look around your files, at which point you should absolutely make sure that you make a backup copy of everything you care about before you proceed.
(To drive the point home, making a proper backup of your system before doing any OS-level stuff is not only a good idea, but in the future it’ll save you a lot of stress and/or heartbreak.)
Note: If mounting your NTFS fails, that doesn’t necessarily mean anything has gone terribly wrong. sometimes that can happen when Windows doesn’t shut down properly, leaving a flag in the wrong state. If that happens, you can still fix it, but that’s a different story.
I guess isn’t really my GPU (Nvidia 1080ti I think) so on my 4k monitor everything is blown up and the wrong aspect ratio, cutting off the bottoms of windows
I don’t know about PopOS specifically, but I would assume this is because NVidia dropped support for 10-series cards from their most recent Linux driver. I ran into a similar issue with my little 1060-3gb, recently, and it sucks. I solved it by upgrade to a RX 9060 xt, which works flawlessly.
If you’re not too afraid of the terminal, you should still be able to access a full-screen Linux terminal (called a TTY or virtual terminal) using Ctrl+Alt+F3. From there you’ll at least be able to control you computer and check that everything is still working and all of your data is safe. I don’t know enough about Pop to say if/how you can change the resolution or fix your driver situation from there… Ctrl+Alt+F2 usually brings you right back to the desktop, by the way.
I’ve tried some terminal stuff I’ve read online already but nothing has worked and I’m afraid to do the purge ~nnvidia command because it said it might turn my screen black and if I can’t even get into Pop! then I’m screwed.
I’ve never seen a driver situation that’s so broken that you can’t at least get into a TTY using Ctrl+Alt+F3.
Have you tried getting on your phone and visiting the PopOS discord or other chat rooms?

Just like basically all of this AI shit… Who is this for?
They should be focused on making their food better and cheaper, not making their employees miserable.
I’ll get my burger at whatever restaurant treats its workers and customers like human beings.
