When I was growing up, you had to go to the mall, and purchase the anarchist cook book if you wanted bomb recipes. Or go to the library. You kids got it easy today...

I'm pretty sure that writing something down has been proven to be helpful for retaining the information.

But that study is probably 50 years old, and people learn and retain information differently.

So I wouldn't be surprised if using a computer to take notes is just as effective as writing it, especially for younger generations.

Seriously, in my experience AI generated results are only actually correct maybe 10% of the time

As a full stack web dev I've been using AI off and on and while it seems really good at basic markup language, it almost never gets PHP or JS right.

It suggests weird ways of doing things that either don't work, are completely asinine, use some random unknown libraries, or is just outdated.

I came home pre early access and saw that I could play if I just watched some stream on twitch for 30 minutes. So I did. Got the code and it did not work. Started up the game and it was locked until early access/ next day.
Went to bed and tried again on early access. Now the game won't even start, claiming it needs secure boot to be on. I have secure boot on.

I don't understand why she was arrested, her "threat" was obviously a joke. I guess jokes are illegal now

Not sure if this works these days, but on older systems there was a reset bios config jumper and pulling the cmos battery.

Gambling addicts are 15x more likely to commit suicide, be in 15k + debt, etc. Bringing gambling addiction to a game played by young adults reminds me of when they used to market cigarettes to minors

Can you even call it GTA online if there aren't a dozen 12 year olds running around screaming, "N***** and F*****".

So they are going to ban Baldurs Gate 3?

[–] AlphaOmega@lemmy.world 52 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Next they are banning sex toy purchases, r rated movies, tabacco, vape and alcohol.

First movie was 1987, so at least 38 years later
