Is it the AI itself? Or is it that it’s being forced down your throat despite being an alpha-level (in programming, alpha means very early release with lots of bugs and missing features, and nowhere near production quality) software?

Personally, I like the idea of AI. And occasionally I will find a use for it; i.e. summarizing long texts, or giving me pointers for a complex software problem I need an example for visualizing a potential solution. I do also use an LLM for code completion, and it is actually useful more often than not.

But, this idea that it should write my code for me, or be integrated so deeply in an operating system and other integral software (browsers, email, and search engines), is certainly a line too far and dangerously ignorant of companies to be doing right now.

Who knows why we start doing things. But lucky for our ancestors, silver is a good antibacterial.

As for “modern”, piercings have been around in modern times just as much as historical. You may have grown up and/or live in a more conservative (i.e. puritanical) area where it’s less common.

This is good for when the hardware is purchased second hand, or has become obsolete in the future.

I have an iPad I’m still holding onto with the hopes that one day it’ll be Linux worthy.

So yeah, buying new Mac hardware for linux doesn’t make sense. But that’s not the only use case.

This right here. Constantly nagging them about something they are ashamed of will only make them more resistant to help.

…5 part…

Thank you for an actual thought and not some dumbass rhetorical question.

Oh man! That sucks. Is she okay with wasabi? That’ll clear the ol’ sinuses. 🤣

Dude! That sounds awesome (minus not remembering your locker 😂). Definitely better than my night.

Do me a favor and eat extra of your popcorn for me! I haven’t eaten all day. 😅

That’s evil. 😂

Dmnt! Thnks!

You meant btbxng ntnsfs.

Edit: fixed spelling 😂

npm run is not safe! What’s to stop anyone from adding sudo commands to package.json?

Tell you what, go into your mail client and view the original source of any email with inline images. In Gmail it’s called “View Original”. Not sure about other mail clients, but if in doubt you could export it to a file and open that file in your favorite text editor.

Let me know what you find.

Edit: also do it for an email with what you consider to have an attachment. Doesn’t matter what kind; any attachment will suffice for this experiment.

Under the hood it’s an attachment. 😊

I guess it depends on what you call it. I’ve seen creditors that have autopay features that can draft it from your bank accounts each month. Usually those are for your minimum payment, which usually stretch out your balance for up to 30 years (to maximize interest charges).

I personally don’t like autopay. It’s an old habit from back when I would overdraft my checking on the regular because I always spent more than I made. Nowadays, I think it’s because I like the responsibility/control of paying my bills manually, and on my terms.

If you can pay your statement balance on time, then there is no “+ extra money”.

~That is often much easier said than done.~

Alcohol and drug use aside, I have changed a few things about myself and my routine that have helped me tremendously. Maybe they can help you, or someone else:

1. Cook for yourself. Find some simple recipes for wholesome meals (i.e. wholesome in the sense that it meets your nutritional requirements, and that you make it yourself most from scratch).
   • I tend to focus on lean meats, high protein, and green veggies.
2. Set aside one or two hours in your day for just yourself. Play video games, read a book, watch a movie, or take a walk. The idea is to scratch a personal itch you would otherwise deny yourself because of responsibilities or “lack of time”.
3. Naps. If you can, try to take a nap each day. Try to stay with 20-30 minutes, but recognize like any habit/hobby, it takes time to get it right.
   • I’ve gotten to the point where I’ll set a 30 minute timer and only actually nap for 20 minutes.
4. Meditation. I usually do this when I nap or go to sleep for the night. I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones that are in a headband (for sleeping), and I’ll cue up an hour long ASMR or guided sleep video. The guided sleep ones are real good because they teach you box breathing, and help keep your mind focused on yourself so it doesn’t wander into the things that keep you awake.
5. Develop a regular cleaning schedule. Not only will it keep your house clean and tidy, but it allows you to focus your energy into something productive and positive.
   • I use my Notes app to create my to-do lists, and check things off as they get done.
   • If I do something not on my list, I add it and immediately check it off; having a really long list checked off feels real good.
   • I don’t care if I get my list done in a day or week. It’ll get done.

CBD gummies for me, but yes, samsies. Cheers!

Dude, this is more of an !asklemmy@lemmy.world thing. Now a shower thought.

Doing the Lord’s work. 🙏 Amen.
