@yosh they built the machine creating that traffic and have been BEGGING us to use it for years now. Interesting that they are right now increasing the price of that very machine! https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/github-copilot-is-moving-to-usage-based-billing/

@idzie@kolektiva.social so much this, and also helped a few such folks find study organisms etc. I had a case where I checked in a plant (Waldesteinia fragroides I think?) and someone spotted a fungus on it that was their study species

@freedosproject@fosstodon.org taskwarrior has some decent docs already but they suffer from being written long ago and being heavily patched. It also has manpages in troff that could use a conversion to a more writable format.

@mdiluz there's an interesting paper, "ChatGPT Is Bullshit" by Hicks et al that talks about this very topic! https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10676-024-09775-5

I've been using #digiKam on Linux with my new Sony, and .. it's not great. Lots of crashes, none of the export options (inat, google photos) work, it can't import from my camera (but can treat it as a USB drive), etc.

I see lots of contributors' names on this, so surely I'm doing something wrong. Is there a way to make this app work better? Other than installing WINE?

Remember when TVs needed to "warm up" before they would tune right? Then there was that glorious period when the TV turned on and started showing the programming. Now it's a good 2-3 minutes of waiting for it to boot, clicking through ads, maybe an update. Half the time I'm done with the snack I thought I'd eat while watching something and I just turn it back off

@mhoye@cosocial.ca I've been careful to order bots around with non-sentences: "make config error message include line num" It's not quite rude but helps me remember it's just some 8 bit matrix multiplications and not a "you"
