A much much larger proportion of users are computer illiterate, especially federal employees. On top of that, the vast majority of basic software applications used are the Microsoft suite of Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. How do you

1. Retrain an aging workforce to use a new OS.
2. Retrain to use new software suite for email, docs, etc.
3. Or rebuild existing software to run on Linux
4. …there’s more but I’m short on time…

The ENTIRE US govt runs on Microsoft. That’s a very big pie to rebake. Where do you even begin. I do agree with you, it just feels unsurmountable.

Thank you for the fact check

Some days I’m just an autocomplete

This is the correct answer. Consolidation of resources and power. Sure there will still be those on the periphery trying to make something from the eddies and currents left in the wake of these massive corporate ships cruising by, but the vast majority of the little guys will drown. Unfortunately I don’t see another way for humanity to galvanized enough resources to create AGI in our lifetime. So there will be consequences, but such is life, the biggest mold gets the food. Then come the viruses.

I would like to represent those of us who use Word everyday and either kinda like it, or just don’t give a shieeeet

Fair point. I hadn’t thought of it that way.

“I’m good at multitasking” is just another way of saying you can’t focus on one thing at a 🐿️ SQUIRREL!

I agree with you that they are not interchangeable. A large swath of Christians are appalled by fascism.

But, they have historically used each other for their own means, and that can be difficult to ignore. I think once again people are seeing the two get back together, and we all know how that relationship turns out.

Then the toothbrush, washing machine, thermostat, sous vide circulator, and butt plug start a podcast, “Plugged In”

I know barely anything about programming languages and only ask as a fan, what are the real world usages of languages and what are their practical, pragmatic, or ideological measures that they are used for?

Hi I’m, I’m in.

Exactly, yes! Pretty much everything when left out in direct sunlight eventually fades or breaks down. There’s a reason why UV light kills germs, it damages what is touches.

I had to look it up, here’s what I found (please correct me if I got it wrong):

To change the user agent in Firefox, you can use the built-in Developer Tools. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open Firefox.
2. Press Ctrl + Shift + I on Windows or Cmd + Option + I on macOS to open the Developer Tools.
3. Click on the “Network” tab.
4. Look for a small icon that looks like a mobile phone and a tablet together, usually located at the top-right of the Network tab. This is the “Responsive Design Mode” button. Click on it.
5. Once in Responsive Design Mode, you’ll see a dropdown menu at the top of the screen where you can select different user agents (like various mobile devices, different browsers, etc.).

Remember, changing the user agent can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior on websites, as it tells the website that you’re using a different browser or device than you actually are. This is usually used for testing and development purposes.

Edit: a word

Baldurs Gate 3 with two other buddies. So many memories. Looking forward to another play through so I can see all of the things the we didn’t get to. And then go again but evil.

Play a few turns off Age of Wonders 4 while working.

And when I’m in the mood and have the patience, Pathfinder wrath of the righteous and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader

I have trouble focusing.

Go evil next time, you get some different companions and stories. How’s Disco?

It’s only going to get better. Soon you won’t be able to tell.

Things are starting to get weird faster than I thought wierd would get here.

And a how do you do to you too dear Doctor.

TO THE ATMOSPHEEEEEERE!

You can tell it, in the custom instructions setting, to not be conversational. Try telling it to ‘be direct, succinct, detailed and accurate in all responses’. ‘Avoid conversational or personality laced tones in all responses’ might work too, though I haven’t tried that one. If you look around there are some great custom instructions prompts out there that will help get you were you want to be. Note, those prompts may turn down it’s creativity, so you’ll want to address that in the instructions as well. It’s like building a personality with language. The instructions space is small so learning how compact as much instruction in with language can be challenging.
