AI slows down some experienced software developers, study finds
  • I’ve actually had a fair bit of success getting GitHub Copilot do things like this. Heck I even got it to do some matrix transformations of vectors in a JSON file.

  • Absolutely Legend
  • “Actually”… man pages also include information about the standard Unix C functions.

  • Black Desert free on Steam 'til 10 Jun
  • It’s a typical Korean MMO: pretty graphics but nonsensical story/dialogue with a hectic grind.

    Normally these guys are gliding too far up to get a decent shot, but today there was a group that deigned to fly a little lower than usual.

    Grackle in flight

    Location: Mississauga, Ontario Date: 2025-06-14 12:43pm Camera: Sony A6700 with Tamron 18-300mm @ 300mm

    This shot was pure luck. It was sitting on a chimney while I was taking some shots when it suddenly took off. I barely got it in frame -- the top of this cropped shot is the top of the original frame.

    Northern Cardinal (feeling cute might delete later...)

    Location: Mississauga, Ontario Date: 2025-06-06 11:18am Camera: Sony A6700 with Tamron 18-300mm @ 300mm

    This was actually taken through the window of the second storey of my house. The trees are quite close to the house and this little guy was hopping around from branch to branch, singing his heart out.

  • 128 (I think) with rubber keys. Had to connect to our TV and load programs from a cassette player. It was always a pain in the ass getting that to work. Mind you, I was like 12 years old at the time so it may have been PEBKAC. 😂

  • Haven’t seen this one yet: ZX Spectrum. Apparently the successor to the ZX81.

  • To be honest I didn’t even bother reading the links. Mainly because he was being an asshole and I don’t owe him my time.

  • You can make your point without being an asshole about it.

  • Industrial Light & Magic's Chief Creative Promotes AI Slop During His TED Talk
  • So you sitting there in your cozy armchair know better than somebody in the industry?

    Come on, don’t be an asshole.

  • Bungie appears to have extensively plagiarized an artist's work in their extraction shooter "Marathon" according to this Bluesky post
  • I’m a little late to this party but this can be easily avoided by using the phrase “the shiz”. Just gotta train autocorrect to accept it.

  • List of Alternatives to Adobe Programs
  • As somebody who has been trying to decided which of the RAW photo editors to use, I can tell you that Darktable has a steep learning curve over Lightroom. The UI is incredibly dense and the names of sliders don’t make sense unless you’re an image science expert.

  • Why the Steam Deck still obliterates the Switch 2 (a response to Nintendo Life)
  • Except I couldn’t give a fuck about Nintendo games. Never played ‘em and probably won’t ever want to either.
