Discussion forum for the readers.

Consider a summary statement though. Not a big fan of a link with no text.

There was an article a few days back with microplastics working through “untouched by humans” layers of lake silt.

Stay positive, friend.

The OSTree layering option worked for me, well… I can get it to run once I turn off the ovpn I still have sitting in Fedora’s network settings. @j0rge@lemmy.ml’s comment I fumbled around with and I’ll wait to see if it updates.

Most of my time is spent in Linux Mint but if I ever have to reinstall, I’ll switch over to a ublue flavour.

Commenting from a laypersons’ perspective for new users, with my minor Linux experience and an inability to remember commands, don’t be frightened in giving it a go. If I can do it, anyone can. I run Fedora Kinoite on a second harddrive, use the BIOS Boot Menu to boot in, and then “rebased” to the UBlue Kinoite image using the provided commands once I read about it.

Almost everything is on Flatpak so I don’t even notice a difference with much. I had trouble layering the Mullvad VPN app (originally just using ovpn profiles) and I’m not sure I did it right in relation to updating but it seems to work.

Basically, I don’t understand much about it but it’s a completely usable operating system from my perspective.

Thanks for the write-up. It was helpful in increasing some knowledge.

It’s a mining company.

Austria? Well, then. G’day mate! Let’s put another shrimp on the barbie!

Fascinating picture.

Every tree is precisely where trees don’t normally grow well without some effort.

Perhaps when the landscape designer did the top down view, having trees in the grassed area looked weird.

The dream would be that I could sort them into a feedreader and select articles out but that won’t happen. Nor would I want a bot doing it either.

Unfortunately, no one else posts so for the meantime, I just have to keep going or let it die.

I made myself a thread of interests I add to over time:

I’m not bothered by it. Just joking around. I come here for things different from memes.

Stop lying!

My area has 40 years of studies behind it with a heap of science online. I’m always surprised that AI do so badly with it. If I can work it out by reading through study after study, AI should piss it in.

The good thing about perplexity is that it sources itself so you can check it. Others just give you the answer and if you don’t know much, you dont know if it’s wrong or not (better than no sources, I feel). I’ve also asked someone who is the world leader in my field to figure out when it starts giving completely wrong answers and in what area.

Is what you’re searching more of an in-field technique or would there be webpages or studies devoted to it?

I asked it directly. It didn’t know and stated it has never had version numbers. I pointed out that news articles differentiate 1.0 and 2.0. It agreed but didn’t say what it was. I asked it again directly, it said it was 2.0.

Hard to believe something that feels like it’s lying to you all the time. I asked it about a topic that I’m in and have a website about, it told me the website was hypothetical. It got it wrong twice, even after it agreed it was wrong, and then told me the wrong thing again.

Can you ask perplexity.ai your question about ceramic firing and see what you get? Perplexity offers prompts to move you along towards your answer.

If I was any where else, it would be there. Maybe one day, won’t rule it out.

Using local on aussie.zone gets me Australian news so I dont need to subscribe to Aus communities which is a bonus. My subscribed just stays my interests so Local and Home are critical to my browsing.

Dont I know it. I was being facetious with the comment because I know what these places are like having moved from specific niche forums, watching reddit expand (avoiding Facebook), and then here. I’m also an early adopter to Tildes but decided to not even attempt in there because of the “tech bro (tech person)” problems you’ve illustrated.

Mander and Slrpnk are good instances and busy enough.

I do find it funny seeing these memes about creating content from someone with 6 posts, there’s been a few of them now.

Do I look like I know what a jpg is?

Like tears in rain. Time to die.

I think the JPG compression economy is having some issues also. This poor meme looks like it’s a generation old by the wrinkles all over it.

I’ve posted 240 times to barely any discussion.

This post is a lie.
