Yay, masturbation! I'm not sure how helicopters enter into it.

Oh whew. I am not thrilled about this comment. Turtlehead in particular paints such a picture… I feel like I’ve been mildly defiled today.

Herbal Essences is considered girly?

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here. I do not use any bridge between the two, but rather searched in separate communities for my answer. Would've been lovely if I could just use a search engine to search indexed forums or so, but since for some reason chat clients have taken the place of forums that's just not doable.

I'd like to move away from Discord but sadly a bunch of friends still use it. I haven't read up enough about the bridge thing to figure out if it actually serves a purpose I'd be interested in or not.

I guess I've pictured electricity a bit too much like water. I still don't quite get how or why this works, but it's really cool that it does!

That said I've no plans on messing around with that kind of thing as I'm terrified of electricity. I electrocuted myself as a kid and that experience stuck. Rather like I did to the dough hooks I stuffed into an extension cord.

Only nearly? Shit, I really gotta put my back into it, then!

Universe is feeling that YOLO.

Absolutely, but don't AppImage updaters basically just replace the AppImage? They're self-contained, no?

Some AppImages have that built in, like Ente.

I love this, thank you!

Could be the game, could be the version of Proton, could be the driver. Could be plenty of things. It isn't quite as plug and play as Windows can be, but it's not that bad, provided your stack is compatible. I personally don't really have any problems.

During a meeting not too long ago someone was like "we're looking into using AI to generate these reports."

So they have a dude who gets requests to generate reports. It's not the same reports, but rather custom reports from scattered bits of data throughout a huge database. Ergo you can't really create a program to extract these reports on demand, a person actually has to sit and piece these together.

Now they want to use LLMs to alleviate him, as this isn't technically his role.

They scoffed at me when I asked about how important it is that these reports are accurate, but I mean, it's a valid concern. Best case you get sometimes-hallucinated reports, worst case you get something that wreaks havoc on the database because it just spits out garbage SQL.

I'm very glad that my role doesn't involve that BS.
