🎱 What AI "coding" can do to your mental health Today: (Somewhat) famous game developer George Broussard (worked on "Duke Nukem 3D", "Rise Of The Triad") Feels the need to tell the world he is currently out of tokens after a "5 hour session". Gets a snarky reply => directly has a breakdown and lashes out. If AI "coding" is so amazing, why does it make these guys be so "on the edge" & aggressive? Shouldn't they be happy & relaxed?

This proposed mindset seems to be a good explanation for many things I hear & read from AI guys. I still don't grasp how they can live with this mindset in the long term, though. I would not know how to construct a meaningful life on top of such depressing and hollow foundation. @lykso@tiny.tilde.website @MaddieM4@raphus.social @onepict@chaos.social

Quote: „But these tools are also becoming part of how software is made.“ Quote: „More importantly, LLMs if done and used well, should be welcome to all of us.“ How do they all throw these grandiose statements around that are absolutely unfounded? Guys like this are living in a completely different reality than me. I would not even know how to have a serious conversation with them. @MaddieM4@raphus.social

Super Song, summe ich schon seit gestern vor mich hin! 🎶 Vorschlag für zukünftige Videos: lasst doch bitte diese genAI-Schnipsel komplett weg (auch wenn sie gekennzeichnet sind). Die tragen absolut nichts zum Charme bei, sondern normalisieren nur solches Material. Habt ihr nicht nötig! 🙂 Schönes Wochenende! ☀️ @janboehm@edi.social

More details:

The printer is a Brother HL-L5100DN series.
I did the configuration of the "Location" in the printer's Web UI (not in CUPS).
The #LinuxMint printer app only responded with "server-error-internal-error"
But in the CUPS Web UI I got a proper error message regarding the umlaut.

So the error might very well be in the Brother software, not in CUPS.

To be on the safe side, I still reported the bug to the CUPS team:

I already made the first chapter of my game in the C# engine. But since fell in love so deeply with writing plain C again, I also want to use it for my passion project. Hence the rewrite. But it is not a 1 to 1 reimplementation. I have learned so much from my C# version that I can now use to make a much better engine. @AgateDragon@mastodon.gamedev.place

No worries, I love to talk about things like that! 😊 I am using only SDL. And the engine is specifically for point & click adventures. But for many aspects I am writing small & general libraries that I can re-use for other projects (super satisfying to do so! 🧡). (I have a finished version of the engine I wrote with C# & MonoGame, with custom scripting language, but now re-writing everything with C & SDL) How are you making use of OpenGL in addition to SDL? @AgateDragon@mastodon.gamedev.place

Ah, ok, I see! I must have missed this in the animation. I love the whole vibe, and also the development approach you mention in your bio. (I am doing a (somewhat) similar thing: I am (re-)writing my adventure engine in C with SDL 🙂) Good stuff, I will drop you a follow! @AgateDragon@mastodon.gamedev.place

C question 🙂 So far, I am super happy using a subset of C99 (I looked at some features of the later standards, and found almost nothing that I would want to use). However, looking at the GCC extensions to C, I found at least one thing that seems helpful. @sirwumpus@tilde.zone @xexyl@fosstodon.org What is your general advice for this: would you (or do you) use any C extensions from GCC or Clang? Or do you stick to pure ISO C?

How is any of this about "safety"? How does Firefox make users more safe? Many users asked Mozilla repeatedly to either put all AI features into an optional plugin, or to offer two different browser binaries, one including AI features, the other without. They always dodged this question or weaseled themselves out of it. Instead they tried to manufacture consent for their AI strategy. This behavior does not make me feel safe with Firefox. @anildash@me.dm @reflex@retrogaming.social
