  • Wait, Vortex doesn’t work on Linux? Seriously!? God fucking damnit, I’m going to be stuck with Windows forever.

    I can’t go back to the old days of manually installing and updating mods by hand. Those were some rough times, and I never want to relive them again.



  • In the early 2000s there was this website called dll-files.com or something like that, and every time that error popped up (which happened a lot in the 90s and 2000s), you’d go to that website, download the missing file, and 99% of the time it would fix the problem. These days I’d advise against obtaining random DLL files from the internet but back then it was like magic.

    I vibe coded an autohotkey script to automate most of my job. It works reasonably well, and frees up enough time that I can now get paid to browse the web. The only part I can’t automate with a vibe-coded script is physically moving documents to the scanner, but if I figured out a way to automate that with robotics then my company wouldn’t need me anymore.

    Whatever happened to just talking to each other? I’m glued to my devices all day every day, yet even I ignore the phone during holiday family gatherings.

    Nobody’s forcing you to go; if you prefer be on the internet rather than interacting with your family, please just stay home.

    Edit: Downvotes be damned, I stand by what I said. If this asocial shut-in who hasn’t had a friend since 2014 (because people annoy me) can come out of my shell a few times a year, and spend some time with the people I grew up, so can you. No excuses.

    One day they will all be dead or estranged, and you will regret not looking up from your phone for two hours to spend quality time with them when they were alive and in your life, as you die alone in your nursing home (assuming you’re rich enough to afford assisted living, that is). Don’t say you aren’t warned.

    Yeah but when it’s a total crapshoot as to whether or not its summary is accurate, you can’t trust it. I adblocked those summaries cause they’re useless.

    At least some of the competing AIs show their work. Perplexity cites its sources, and even ChatGPT recently added that ability as well. I won’t use an LLM unless it does, cause you can easily check the sources it used and see if the slop it spit out has even a grain of truth to it. With Gemini, there’s no easy way to verify anything it said beyond just doing the googling yourself, and that defeats the point.
