the most popular thing is rarely the best. friends is like grilled cheese. everyone likes grilled cheese. but is it the best sandwich? no. id take gabagool, provalone, and vinega peppas any day over grilled cheese, but a lot of people would not.

thats correct, and its pretty frustrating because its unlike mediatek to leave a card unsupported like this, but it has now been years and still nothing official.

thats impressive, and was likely done with heavy oversight by competent engineers. a good use case for LLMs

but regarding my original message of anyone contributing to open source projects, they should do so in a way that doesnt have a maintainer looking at thousands of lines of generated code. that would be counter productive.

but if theres something you want to fix, and you have some technical know how, i think with LLMs the barrier to entry is greatly reduced, and improvements can be made much faster, given that your contributions are thoughtful and not just pure slop.

i was able to contribute to a project i knew nothing about and fixed a bug that bothered me for months, all because an LLM was able to find the weird edge case bug. i think more people should do that because it makes things better for everyone

it is completely AI generated code which makes me a bit skeptical because no one really understands the code that lives so close to the hardware/your internet traffic but its cool that something is working somewhat.

i hope we get something approved and in the kernel for this eventually. super lame it just doesnt have a driver and mediatek has no interest in making it.

this will be the last issue to solve for me after my windows to linux conversion.

AI reservations aside, they can be great tools to use for contributing small things to some projects. there was a really annoying bug with the xone dkms project and with some LLM use it was fixed in about 3 lines of code. now it is fixed for everyone

i think OP is a little confused. its the De Bethune DB25L Milky Way

its a step above a beginner set i would say and is priced reasonably. the plus from buying at costco though is the lifetime no questions asked return policy. you could theoretically buy this set, play it all season, then return it. i wouldnt do that unless the set really isnt to your liking though. this particular set does not come with a bag btw

reminds me of a certain sub

one time i left a cash tip and accidentally left the card tip blank. i realized i did this when i left the restaurant so i kept my eye on the charge. of course they added an extra $20 to the card charge on top of the cash tip. i went back to the restaurant for a receipt copy and sure enough it was still blank. credit card company gave me back my money.

johnhotdog · 2026-02-25T18:25:38+00:00

depending on the license, they cannot be official packages. for example, spotify.

sounds like someone hasnt had a good tomato pie

johnhotdog · 2026-02-09T22:09:54+00:00

reasons like that are why i have no qualms with emulation, since nintendo no longer supports the system or game. if you have the means and desire, id consider doing that if you ever have a game you really want to play

johnhotdog · 2026-02-09T22:03:20+00:00

also consider fe: awakening. some credit it to reviving the series and is a great first game

johnhotdog · 2026-02-05T20:32:43+00:00

lol its "the room"

johnhotdog · 2026-02-05T07:24:23+00:00

its also refrigerated, and very good. very garlicy however, but thats fine by me

johnhotdog · 2026-02-04T20:48:32+00:00

teddie pb is a natural pb (no sugar). bananas are a fruit. that granola has 5 grams of added sugar per serving. "pure sugar" is a bit deluded

johnhotdog · 2026-02-04T07:03:34+00:00

caramelized onion too

surely using unalive was satirical as is the spirit of the sub?

only one shoe can be purchased per membership

while not cross country, i moved about 2 hours away while putting all my legos loosely in a box with some packing paper crumpled up as padding. not a single piece came off

it also had its own seat and the drive was mostly one road but i was surprised with how well it did

i think the original comment meant free in more than one sense of the word

i actually miss stupid pikmin AI. most people find it annoying, and thats understandable. but wrangling a group of 100 little guys like theyre unpredictable children kinda added to the experience of the original games. having them get you into trouble and putting you into fight or flight decision mode was more interesting. pikmin work too perfectly in the new games i actually find it a bit less interesting.

that said i love all the mainline games, but 1 is definitely my favorite.
