variants@possumpat.ioto Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•Steam survey for June 2024, Linux still above 2%English8·11 months agoEven with steam deck verified I was skeptical but I finally made the jump to linux on my gaming pc and installed starfield and it booted right up, didn’t notice any difference it’s amazing. I imagined I was going to have to go into steam settings and do stuff and keep retrying but nope just worked right away
Sometimes they just get dirty, we learned that after our ac only spat out hot air, we rinsed it off and it was good as new ready to die for us again

The Adobe stuff always held me back before but I finally just started messing with linux and trying stuff out. I don’t need photoshop for professional use so I was fine spending the time trying to find alternatives for what I needed

variants@possumpat.ioto News@lemmy.world•A ton of job postings might actually be fakeEnglish2·11 months agoThat was the first thing I thought, people coming up with reasons to keep their own jobs by saying they need to keep making job posts even if they aren’t going to hire anyone, and to say that when they are ready to hire they already have applicants
variants@possumpat.ioto Privacy@lemmy.ml•To those of you with nothing to hide: One day you might have. Because you don’t make the rules.English70·11 months agoIt’s not that I have something to hide, it’s that I don’t trust your judgment

variants@possumpat.ioto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Pity, really.English7·11 months agoI just had a baby and I’m already planning how to get her to help me run my home lab as a way to get her to figure all this stuff out, maybe run some game servers or do a little local blog. Then I think about how I can teach her to solder a hand wired keyboard or maybe build a little fpv drone with me and then I start to remember that kids sometimes just don’t like what you do so you never know what you could get them interested in or not or if you will each have the time when they’re older
variants@possumpat.ioto Technology@lemmy.world•AI took their jobs. Now they get paid to make it sound humanEnglish11·11 months agoIt’s not that they shouldn’t be correct it’s that people are expected to do the job of multiple people with limited budgets so they contract their work out to services or don’t take the time to double check stuff.
When I worked with the marketing people ot was a team of 3 that had to cover the US mexico and Canada, so they would have people on retainer to make things like art or text for a lot of the stuff, but I can see how they could use a service that used ai for those things
Look at what happened with Wacom, so I just see this kind of cost cutting is appealing to businesses that want to cut costs at the expense of quality

Again I’m not saying it’s good but there is demand for this stuff as shitty as it is
variants@possumpat.ioto Technology@lemmy.world•AI took their jobs. Now they get paid to make it sound humanEnglish21·11 months agoThe demand may not be by the end user but by businesses that need to fill stuff with filler text. Say you’re working for an automotive company and have to pull off a big email campaign you can use generative ai to help you type up a couple dozen emails, sure they’ll be crappy but you finished your work by the deadline so spending the company money for a service like that seems worth it
