I’m in tears, I’ve finally found the version of this toy I had as a kid.

Thank you so much for this shitpost, sincerely.

I’m a self-taught C# dev, I’ve found tremendous success specifically just describing what I want to do in dumb language that I’d feel stupid asking people IRL about and that aren’t googleable without knowing what both the terms “null-coalescing” and “non-merchandise supergroup” are describing.

There are a lot of patterns that don’t have obvious names and that aren’t easily described without describing a specific scenario in a way that might only make sense institutionally, or with additional context that your average person might not have. ChatGPT is fairly good at being the “buddy that you have a bunch of in-jokes with that can remember things better than you”. I can skip a lot of explaining why I need to do a thing a certain way like I can with my coworkers (who all aren’t programmers), and I can get helpful answers for programming questions that my coworkers don’t know the answers to.

It’s frustrating to see this incredibly advanced context-aware autocorrect on steroids get used in ways that don’t acknowledge the inherent strengths of what LLMs are actually great at doing. It’s infuriating to have that potential be actively misused and packaged as a service and have that mediocre service sold to you once a month as a necessity by idiots in suits watching a line on a chart.

Nano is the tool that people use when they don’t have a need for TUI editors in general and therefore don’t want to have to memorize how people with teletypes decided things should have been done 75 years ago and who also don’t want to get dragged into endless pointless bickering arguments about which set of greybeards was objectively right about their sets of preferences.

I’m glad people enjoy the editors they use and also I just wanna change a single fuckin line in a config file every once in a while without needing to consult a reference guide.

Last time I got Papa Johns, a literal child delivered my order alone while her DoorDashing mom watched from her car. I didn’t order through DoorDash. I left feedback informing them that I would not be buying pizza from somewhere that makes me question whether I’m contributing to breaking child labor laws.

I would order local takeout if it were cheaper and wasn’t consistently soggy.

Domino’s is the most consistently “worth the money” pizza near me, with Little Caesars coming in a distant second.

Form, not function.

And to top it all off, release codenames are Discworld references!

It’s a bit more consumer focused, easier for Grandma kind of thing. Syncthing isn’t hard, but does have in my opinion a bit more difficult of an initial setup with features like introducers that can make things difficult if configured wrong.

The solar eclipse from Monday.

I genuinely had someone stop and ask me why you can’t see the moon during an eclipse because “it’s got light in it right”.

They’re soon to replace our HR manager.

It’s useful for UltraVNC to pass through key combos like alt-tab without triggering them on the local PC.

And yet, this is the issue that gets a response instead of a silent closed offtopic wontfix.

You certainly get to try I guess

With mint frosting!

As far as I understand it, they’re given equal weight in the order of operations, it’s just whichever you hit first left to right.

Look in the mirror for something invisible?

Now if the dev of SyncTrayzor could find and resolve the bug with its tooltips staying up in the top left of the screen I’ll be set for life with syncing.

Funfact: Walmart pays the vendors (usually local person who rents their own truck and buys their own stock) on scan data. If it doesn’t scan, Walmart is also not affected.

There is a DVR product called SaleGuard that can detect this from existing or integrated camera systems. It tends to work fairly well.

I mean, they’re not gonna nab you for apples unless they get enough of a rolling tally on what you took to actually prosecute usually. That’s what most corps do.

I don’t have any idea what you’re on about and I want to call you rude.

The ones from NCR use the camera-based 7879/7895 scales with computer vision to check that you aren’t doing this. It’ll take a picture and require an override where it shows that picture to the attendant.

It’s called produce assurance.
