  Indirectly. But as another commenter pointed out, it balances out with the tax rebates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you monitor your servers?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a robust monitoring system for my Jellyfin server, been running for the last few years. Checks in periodically, at least once per 24 hours and notifies me if it’s down. Doesn’t use any electricity, but does consume a good amount of Cheerios and mac & cheese.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Desktop Linux is now inevitable. Here's why.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t know anyone who has a steam deck? I’m guessing the Linux numbers are partly due to that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MouthPad turns your tongue into a wireless trackpad⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My first thought as well. Accessibility in tech has always lagged behind.

  AI investor

  Did you mean lazy parasite?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fall into the anti-AI hype⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Replace “AI” with “blockchain” and it’s almost copy-paste from a few years ago.

  Many people rightfully recognize that LLMs can be a useful tool in certain situations. But just like every other over-hyped tech buzzthing from the last two decades, it’s overblown. And given the side-effects (like the environmental and social impacts) it’s perfectly reasonable people would want to reject it outright.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You have one week to opt out or become fodder for LinkedIn AI training⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right.

  I’m gonna keep saying buttkiss though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You have one week to opt out or become fodder for LinkedIn AI training⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  YMMV I guess, but among the thousands of applications I’ve submitted looking for work, LinkedIn helped exactly buttkiss percent. The job search system is completely broken, and a terrible platform like LinkedIn isn’t helping.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You have one week to opt out or become fodder for LinkedIn AI training⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No guarantee, but if we all delete our accounts, they’ll shut down that cesspool and we can all move on with our lives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You have one week to opt out or become fodder for LinkedIn AI training⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You know what works even better?

  Deleting your LinkedIn account.

  No.

  Exhibit A: current US administration…

  Sure, the earth will roast and people won’t have water, but they won’t have to fund artists anymore!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  How does Wikipedia continue to be such a bastion of awesome in an increasingly shitty internet? Keep on, good folks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can LLMs Do Accounting? Evaluating LLMs on Real Long-Horizon Business Tasks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  LLMs can’t do basic math, and can be convinced that 2 + 2 = potato. Don’t put it in charge of your finances.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft wants to apply Windows Update to all PC software⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Well it’s good that they’re building on a platform that has such a good reputation among users. I know I get all sorts of warm and fuzzy feelings when I hear the words “Windows Update.”
