ok, clearly I don’t understand the federation protocol then, because I thought if you can see/interact with the instance (like in the @ after the username), you can find out who they federate with.

Can you leave comments from your non public isntance on communities from other instances ?

If I remember hearing it correctly, some lemmy instance admins defederate by proxy. Meaning: they go look at your instance, see who you federate with (even if you do it passively by not blacklisting) and then defederate you if you federate with any instances they don’t like.

(And tbh, I’d do the same, but it doesn’t seem like OP would like that)

I’ve been working on this

You or an LLM? Cause the image is clearly generated.

where did I say

Do you understand the meaning of the word “exaggeration”?

To recap:

I said: “LLM translations have all the same political and ethical issues as coding”

And you replied “No they don’t”

But then you went ahead writing paragraphs on their impact on the environment… which is THE ethical issue, regardless of the copyright issues or the potential benefits.

luddite

mmmmh suuuureee

We’re talking past each other so let me point your attention to what I mean by exaggerating a bit:

You’re saying it’s ok to burn the world (which is one of the ethical problems with llms) so that a small fraction of hairless apes feels better.

Well, if you don’t skip to the changes, you can see that they say: “the rationale is more about politics and ethics than anything else”

And LLM translations have all the same political and ethical issues as coding, so I don’t think thats gonna be allowed.

This also forbids AI assisted code review

It’s worded in a convoluted way, but they explicitly allow it. In the chapter A matter of interpretation they say:

“Moreover, the use of AI for purposes other than co-authoring code, tickets, emails, and so on, is discouraged but not prohibited. If you use LLMs privately to review your work, to ask questions of, to perform security analysis, and so on, and then write original code to push to SourceHut, your use-case is aligned with our policy.”

I went to school in germany, we had a generic computer class for a semester, where we started with basic controls left, right mouse click, middle click to close apps, tripple click to select a row of text, f2 for rename, f10 create new folder, deleting files, installing and uninstalling software etc.

And even here Linux diverges. Middle click pastes your clipboard and only rarely do apps like pdf viewers support tripple clicking.

Later we learned photoshop, word, excel, powerpoint, internet explorer and how to use the powerful features in google search, like quotes, +, -, site: etc. And I must say, it proved to be extrenely useful. I constantly see people around me struggle with those tasks and I’m thankful for my school teaching me.

I moved all my PCs to Linux ~5 years after graduating and it sure was a long grindy struggle of frustration and accepting bad compromises. I tried using gimp for university assignments and it was a huge PITA. Touched a mac for a week and it was equally full of friction to learn and work with.

What I want to say is - I’m sure the re-learning is a similar struggle in either direction. So if you want to prepare students for the real life, it makes sense to learn the software they will most likely encounter in their real worklife. I’m sure most polish design companies use photoshop and illustrator on windows or mac systems instead of gimp and those school students will have a harder time getting into it.

As long as 90% of businesses use it on their desktop it makes sense to teach. Using windows and the common software (photoshop, excel etc.) on it is basically a life skill at this point in time.

I agree with your premise though.

I guess it could be argued the computer proficiency skill is transferable (from Linux at school to Windows at work) as long as there is a significant overlap in the available software, desktop presentation, workflow and control conventions.

One example where it for sure doesn’t work is gimp to photoshop. If you wanna know why, go dig out instructions for how to draw a circle in each one. Or try recreating one of the many effects from PS in GEGL. - The workflow is so fundamentally different that if you know one software, it will actually hinder you learning the other, because your intuition will mislead you and you’ll be constantly frustrated (which actively hinders learning. There are studies on that)

• Buy a phone that can do display alt mode over USB.

• Buy a usb C display.

• Mount the display in the car.

• Connect to your cars bluetooth audio.

Viola!

You can make a keyboard shortcut in the settings that runs a script that simulates f7. From the top of my head

Installydotool:

yay -S ydotool
sudo systemctl enable --now ydotool

Create script~/f7.sh:

#!/bin/sh
ydotool key f7

chmod +x ~/f7.sh

Bind it via System Settings → Shortcuts → Custom Shortcuts → New → Script/Application.

Set trigger to e.g.Ctrl+Shift+F, Action to/home/youruser/f7.sh.

Actually using the OS and not thinking about it instead of tinkering with it constantly and wondering what to change.

Welcome to lemmy - where nobody cares about you or your question and just wants to yap their opinion, because they feel so smart and morally superior.

You can often search for “[your topic] university pdf” to find good resources.

Here is one of the results I found searching “technical writing university pdf”

https://prowriting.web.illinois.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Open-Technical-Writing_-An-Open-Access-Text-for-Instruction-in-Te.pdf

Maybe there is more when searching for “writing documdntation university pdf”.

in kde plasma this is possible by right clicking the start menu and selecting edit applications.

Please add nano-gpt as a provider. For reference see: https://github.com/nanogpt-community/nanocode

then I could test on linux

I’m just speaking for me, as a senior software architect with a decade of experience:

• Solving problems is the fun part.
• Designing a good architecture is the fun part.
• Making sure the project is high quality, clean and elegant is the fun part.

Typing all of that out (for momths and years mind you) is the boring part. For me typing is what comes after thinking. My brain goes into that adhd state where I have to pay enough attention to type the code, but not enough to be engaged. I’m getting so bored while typing code, I can’t sit still for 30 seconds. Time gets slow. I get uncomfortable. I keep being distracted. I start thinking about something else and start making stupid mistakes.

I much rather explain my vision, architecture and solution in a detailed text (which helps me think about it in more detai) and then do hours of code review (guess I’m weird for liking that) and “thats wrong, redo it” until I’m happy then type all of that out myself.

There is a lot I hate about “AI”, but sparing me from that rage-inducing manual slave labour is not one of those.

If I could hire a human to do the typing I’d do it. But an LLM subscription is so much cheaper than even the worst apprentice.

portmaster can turn off internet for a specific app, but even better it can block specific domains

actually just putting the website domain (with local ip or something) into hosts file will be enough

I don’t think so.

Probably best you can do is make a blog, a youtube channel or something like that and set up donations.
