No matter how many buttons I mash, I can’t seem to activate the cheat codes.

It might be accurate for one person in a hundred.

My TikTok feed is full of content that I find interesting and educational, from creators who work hard to make something valuable.

Exactly as I’ve found it too. My feed has a lot of old mine explores, vehicle repair, walking and similar ‘educational’ content. I’ve learned a lot of stuff - and I’m probably older than the demographic is perceived. The algorithm was extremely quick to start showing me the stuff I like - far, far better than any of the other apps.

I’m not American, but much of the content I see is made by Americans, so if this ban happens it will change what I see quite dramatically.

OP asked a question in an extremely toxic and biased way, well done for answering it reasonably.

The Qur’an?

2. Crisp Sandwich made with Sandwich Spread.

So I did - thanks for the correction, edited.

I… did not know that. Thanks, TIL!

Absolutely, but when you do need it, it’s brilliant.

Sorry, I should have explained that. it’s command | yes yes|command - Eg, yes|apt-get update (Not a great example since apt-get has -y, but sometimes that fails when prompting for new keys to accept)

Edit: I got it backwards, thanks @lengau@midwest.social for the correction.

yes

The most positive command you’ll ever use.

Run it normally and it just spams ‘y’ from the keyboard. But when one of the commands above is piped to it, then it will respond with ‘y’. Not every command has a true -y to automate acceptance of prompts and that’s what this is for.

And it would require the LLM owners to admit to stealing that content.

Enjoying Factory Town at the mo, a little chill automation game with a surprising level of complexity.

Factorio 2 is also fantastic if this is a genre you enjoy.

I think he had a pretty good run, tbh.

Definitely seeing some people doing mass downvotes. By that, I mean they disagree so much with a person’s post that they then downvote other, unrelated posts by the same person.

I often think the place would be better with no downvotes.

I agree. Hate to mention the R-place, but some of the subs there that only allow upvotes are a generally more positive place.

When your post is downvoted, you’re sometimes left wondering why, and question yourself. That can lead to less engagement. Same can happen for disagreements of course, but at least then it’s clear what the problem is.

Don’t have dogs. Don’t have woodburners. Don’t have horses. In fact, don’t live any kind of outdoorsy life if you want a dust-free home.

My home is dusty. I decided that the above was more important to me.

I think a lot of people have gone back to Reddit.

Don’t be silly, the Linux community has never told me to hate someone just because they’re differen… Oh.

And besides, there’s no arcane practices or secret knowledg… Oh.

Carry on.

Oh, and this popped into my feed, which seems to show I’m not the only pessimistic one.

The British-Canadian computer scientist often touted as a “godfather” of artificial intelligence has shortened the odds of AI wiping out humanity over the next three decades, warning the pace of change in the technology is “much faster” than expected.
