Skibidi is mostly a gen alpha thing, not so much gen z

I’m not entirely sure if it uses Unicode, ASCII or something else…

I think I remember Automate the Boring Stuff with Python explaining that python uses ASCIIbetical order, but it’s been a minute since I read that book

This screenshot made me long for NMM. Spending hours curating mods to create the perfect look and feel, then spending less than half the time playing the game lol

I’ve never been to Italy, but my cousin grew up there for part of their childhood. They said “Italians invented pizza, America made it good”

His insurance won’t cover him in an accident

Are you sure he hasn’t taken the proper precautions of just getting commercial insurance and filing taxes 4x a year (assuming US based)? Like yeah, you shouldn’t just go get in your car and go to a bar and offer people rides for money but if this guy has regular customers I wouldn’t be surprised if he also knows how to look into his own rights

Using an AI as a regex checker is so smart and I’m mad it never occured to me that it was possible lol. I’ve just been pouring over random forum posts for it

I don’t think anyone necessarily depends on them - but the infrastructure for analyzing human behavior online is largely pioneered by meta and the likes. When the front ends like Facebook go away we’ll just start seeing “Powered by Meta” on targeted ads; I wouldn’t be surprised if people who see ads already do see that

I would agree if they weren’t such a prolific backbone for the tech industry. They’re not just gonna vanish when people stop using their apps because businesses will still pump cash into them

Shame meta won’t go with it

If you already know what you want but want to save time writing it

IME, going to ChatGPT for code usually meant losing time, cause I’d go back and forth trying to get a usable snippet and it would just keep refactoring the same slop that didn’t work in its first attempt

I swapped from uBlock to AdNauseum. It’s a fork of uBlock which also “clicks” some specific ads in order to cost companies money for running them lol

That makes sense. The VW I’m thinking of may have been level 3 (trying to remember autonomous driving levels off the top of my head so don’t quote me on this), as I believe it needed guidance from on-road infrastructure to double check safety issues, which would have obviously been too much hassle for the US.

The proof of concept was miles ahead of Tesla has ever been, though, so it’s unfortunate that we can’t be bothered to add some sensors to the road

Aren’t level 4 systems still illegal in the US anyway? I remember Volkswagen holding off on a minibus due to this limitation when they managed to create a working proof of concept 8ish years ago

This is the one thing stopping from swapping to Nix. I would love to have a drop in file for my mini PC, but right now staying in the arch ecosystem is just easier
