  • Thanks for responding, but no, I have 3 devices plugged in at the moment and the icons don’t change regardless of which one I have selected. This is the only one with an ‘x’ icon. It doesn’t appear to prevent me from using it, but I’m unsure if it’s indicative of an issue with the device itself. Maybe it just means it isn’t a recognised device. Kind of wish Nemo had tooltips or something.




  • In honesty (my last comment was clearly not legit), you likely do pronounce the ‘L’; most accents will include this in my experience.

    Does the tip of your tongue touch the roof of your mouth just on or behind the ridge before your front teeth? If you release your tongue before pronouncing the ‘D’ is there a release of air? If you do position your tongue here and there is no release of air before pronouncing the ‘D’ (which does release air), then you are pronouncing the ‘L’.






  • This is a fair assessment. I actually like politics, but I have still blocked numerous political communities because the users spam variations of the exact same 2 articles over, and over, and over, and over again.

    It’s either going to be:

    1. Trump be stoopid
    2. Israel be bad

    The first few times were interesting, now it’s just effing annoying. Blocking these communities has definitely improved my Lemmy experience.


  • Here’s my first attempt at that prompt using OpenAI’s ChatGPT4. I tested the same prompt using other models as well, (e.g. Llama and Wizard), both gave legitimate responses in the first attempt.

    I get that it’s currently ‘in’ to dis AI, but frankly, it’s pretty disingenuous how every other post about AI I see is blatant misinformation.

    Does AI hallucinate? Hell yes. It makes up shit all the time. Are the responses overly cautious? I’d say they are, but nowhere near as much as people claim. LLMs can be a useful tool. Trusting them blindly would be foolish, but I sincerely doubt that the response you linked was unbiased, either by previous prompts or numerous attempts to ‘reroll’ the response until you got something you wanted to build your own narrative.


  • Can’t help but notice that you’ve cropped out your prompt.

    Played around a bit, and it seems the only way to get a response like yours is to specifically ask for it.

    Honestly, I’m getting pretty sick of these low-effort misinformation posts about LLMs.

    LLMs aren’t perfect, but the amount of nonsensical trash ‘gotchas’ out there is really annoying.




  • It’s sold in quite a few different countries. I get it from Woolworths in Australia.

    I can’t really remember what spam tastes like, except that I recall not liking it as a kid; I think it was too salty and too spongy for my liking. This product seems to have a meatier texture than spam though. I’ve tried it a few different ways and it’s quite enjoyable. I even use it as a burger patty replacement. Slice it up, fry it, and it pairs well with cheese and tomato sauce.



  • I’ve been using Linux on and off for years and I’ve never really understood what these different directories are for. If I don’t know where something is I just search for it, though more often than not whatever I’m looking for is somewhere in the home directory. I’m also not sure of the accuracy of this though. I have a VM in /run, and an SSD and thumb drive in /media. I would’ve expected these to be in /mnt.
