We were just discussing artificial sweeteners, not soft drinks sweeteners specifically.

Strange take.. Mastodon is where alot of the IT discussion happens these days.

The quality vs crap ratio is stellar on mastodon. Not so much on anywhere else.

I referred to the sugar alcohol xylitol, not aspartame.

Its not like the non-sugar sweeteners are any more healthy.

Slightly misleading title

"20 MB Linux.EFI" ...

Download 25MB ...

Leads to 26MB download file ...

Holds a compressed partition of 209 MB.

> Of all the languages I code in in VSCode, Golang is the most frustrating to use as I can’t jump to definitions with Cmd + Click the way I can in JS, PHP or Java.

Odd, what extensions are you using? I use only go.dev extension and intellisense has been working great for golang dev for years.

They trained on copyrighted material and scraped stuff they shouldn't have.

That's why they "cant" show sources.

"plus ellen A B that is equal to the" ... at https://youtu.be/4ChuiS6lUv0?si=35bpjGt3QRBTJ1hv&t=32

does not give any confidence the producer understand what's even being said.

(they just threw some auto captions in there)

ellen is supposed to be "ln()" as in a logarithmic function

Business as usual iow. Used to be scrum masters, then javascript "experts", then crypto bros.

Snake oil salesmen we called em back in my day ;-)

Not quite AI, but I been getting targeted spam from shitty startups and some job offers for the last couple years to my github commit email. It is scraped from github as I use it nowhere else.

Select the AirPods under Bluetooth on your iPhone, firmare version is shown as "Version".

The rationale is in the part you forgot to quote.

And you are comparing apples with oranges. busybox hexedit is not a GUI app.

You're right and I used to do the same for years (dyndns xD)

But my current ISP required me to pay extra for a static IP, where their ordinary "dynamic IP" offering shares IP and don't allow for direct connections from the internet. This never used to be the case.

I have no idea anymore if this is sarcasm or a straight up belief.

> The dead internet theory essentially claims that activity and content on the internet, including social media accounts, are predominantly being created and automated by artificial intelligence agents.

The theory predates the current era of AI generated content:

> The dead Internet theory's exact origin is difficult to pinpoint, but it most likely emerged from 4chan or Wizardchan as a theoretical concept in the late 2010s or early 2020s.

And just my personal 2cents; I believe this was the result of predatory SEO.
