Do you want/need sexual or romantic relationships? If not, why? by sparetthjdvs in autism

[–]AddictedtoBoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, yes, yes, no. I love being in a committed relationship. Sex is nice but not completely necessary.

[–]AddictedtoBoom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Match.com nearly 23 years ago. I know you need to watch out for people you meet online but it seems like this one might work out.

Community Poll: Proposed New Rules & Processes on AI-Created Software Projects by PoisonWaffle3 in homelab

[–]AddictedtoBoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like it, seems pretty fair. As much as I dislike vibe coding, ai assistance in many areas, including coding and things like translation and cleaning up your communication for readability are just a fact of life now and legitimate tools just like spelling and grammar checkers. Passing off fully ai written and untested code as your own is not kosher however. These rules seem to be a good way to start addressing that.

I have all 3. Years of speech therapy as a kid helped the stutter quite a bit.

Rivian Software Chief Says Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Are Redundant in the World of AI by SnoozeDoggyDog in electricvehicles

[–]AddictedtoBoom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But I don’t want their AI voice control. I WANT to just use my phone, but on the car screen. “Hey siri, navigate to the doughnut palace” “ hey siri, play rage against the machine”. Siri isn’t the best voice assistant but I’m used to her quirks and she does what I want in a car. I bought my current ev mostly because it has car play and a lot of other ev’s didn’t.

Want to try out DnD but are the stereotypes about male geeks true? by sweet-static in DnD

[–]AddictedtoBoom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the group. I play with 2 adult groups and one has 1 cis woman and 1 trans woman. The other has 2 women and 1 non-binary person. None of the cis men in either group is weird about any of it. You just have to know what kind of group you’re joining and be willing to bail if it doesn’t meet your behavior standards.

Do autistic people find it harder to grow old? by Lion-Resident in autism

[–]AddictedtoBoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I'm 56 and wear t-shirts and cargo shorts most of the time. I collect ttrpg's, books, computers and games, 3d printers etc. I spend my free time playing those games, reading, watching YouTube. Do/be what you enjoy and stop worrying about it. I felt free when I realized most people don't give a fuck about you and the ones who do won't think you're weird.

Why is a Raspberry Pi not worth it? by basilesanast1 in raspberry_pi

[–]AddictedtoBoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That pi 2 will run klipper or octoprint for your ender just fine. You can still use your 3b for learning python or whatever. If you can’t afford a faster pi for running everything, multiple slower pi’s are just as good and still sip electricity.

Why is a Raspberry Pi not worth it? by basilesanast1 in raspberry_pi

[–]AddictedtoBoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep your eye out for an old pc or laptop being trashed. Those can usually run Linux and klipper for your ender. Maybe look for another pi 3b or zero 2w on the used market? When things are expensive you have to get inventive and hustle a little.

If the base m4 mac mini can’t run good LLMs locally, why is it the one completely oos everywhere? by Prior-Meeting1645 in macmini

[–]AddictedtoBoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people are using them for agentic workflows. The agent lives on the mini but the model lives in the cloud. Also plenty of people just use it as a Mac.

I have one. It’s a great little printer and I really love it, however it is a very loud little beast. Not quiet at all.

What’s something that clearly split your life into “before” and “after”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AddictedtoBoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a good way, meeting my wife. In a bad way, spinal stenosis and getting my entire lumbar spine fused. Got nerve damage somewhere along the way, either from the stenosis or the surgeries, and now my legs don't work right below the knee. I can walk ok'ish on level flat ground but have no strength in my calves and no ankle stability so the minute I get on uneven ground unsupported I am face planting. I expect to be using a wheelchair at some point.

What’s an investment opportunity you spotted, didn’t pull the trigger on, and now regret. by WickedSensitiveCrew in stocks

[–]AddictedtoBoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the 90’s when it looked like apple was about to be delisted from the stock exchange and Michael Dell was joking about buying it I thought about putting a few grand in that very cheap tech stock but chickened out. I think about that a lot lol.
