  • Are you a previous hire at my company? You sound like you should be a manager here with those great ideas

  • Yeah I’m looking for a new job but I have to develop skills people want now.

    You know there are object oriented languages? Well, try three different retired programmers who made attempts to implement objects three different ways into C.

    It’s great!

  • No? JPMorgam Chase wrote a loan, right? Don’t they win no matter what, so long as the company doesn’t go under? They’re getting interest no?

  • I’m not sure what the benefits of unraid are but for better or worse, I’ve been running Linux servers since 2007 or so, so…..

    I also used arch now and full time for a few years in the 2010s. I like it, but they put in breaking changes occasionally that I don’t want to have to deal with for a server.

    I was on CentOS and switched to Debian because of IBM/RH

  • [Update] AtomicPoet has deleted the piefed.social communities where he was the sole moderator (!movies@piefed.social being the exception). Content is still available, details in the linked post

  • Hi, so I'm the one that reported you to piefed.social.

    Here's why:

    1. How you percieve "bro" to be used is inconsistent with how it is colloquially used.
    2. I saw a post about it, and couldn't believe it. Surely, there was more offensive content that I did not see. So I made a comment with "bro" in it, and you messaged me and then threatened a ban.
    3. Threatening someone with a ban who uses a word that is not offensive colloquial language because you personally find it offensive is abuse of power.

    That's it. That's the whole explanation.

    Here's the thing. Just because YOU have personally never used bro in a genuinely positive way doesn't mean it hasn't. I have personally used it positively. I was there for my no familial relation bro at his wedding. Bro had a small wedding with only a best man. So I jumped in to help out with what was essentially groosmen duty because I'm there for my bro.

    Secondly, while bro comes from a gendered word "brother", language is constantly evolving. Many people use it as a gender-neutral term for friends they wouldn't have sex with. Others use it as a mark of exasperation. Neither use of which is toxic, baked with malice, or toxic.

    The problem really is your banning of the word "bro" because you're a moderator. It's one thing if you get personally offended by the word "bro" and ask people not to use it with you. That's fine, and I respect that view. It's another thing altogether to wield your mod powers and police everyone from using it.

    You should have a really big think about it, because you destroyed the community you tried so hard to cultivate by projecting your negative view of "bro" onto others. You're still here talking about other people being the problem, yet you excluded people who had no malicious or toxic intent from joining your "inclusive" community.

    Finally, if you have never once heard "bro" used in genuinely positive way, it sounds like you need better bro-models. Some bros are toxic, some bros aren't. You just haven't found the right bros yet.

  • Debian?

  • Can we trust LLM CALCULATIONS?.

    Jump

  • That wasn’t the question. The question was whether you should trust the number and the answer is no. It could be correct or it could be incorrect. There’s not enough data to determine it.

    LLMs work as predictive models. If you ask 10 people to estimate the height of a tree, and 8/10 estimate that it’s 10 ft tall, 2/10 estimate that it’s 8 ft tall, the most likely LLM answer is that it’s 10 ft tall. It doesn’t matter that if you actually go and measure the tree that it’s actually 15 ft tall. The LLM will likely report 8

  • What do you mean by a tank below? For flushing or…?

    All the squatty potties I encountered in Asia were plumbed the way a toilet in the US would be plumbed so the poop gets flushed elsewhere.

    I hope the ones in China weren’t basically permanent porta potties….
