By not having it on the country list. It used to be there, but then they removed it.

@Grumm

LinkedIn used to be good. Then they started discriminating my country so now I hate them.

@gitstashio

That's a good point!

I agree with @Root. That's not burnout, it's just ordinary wear/boredom/procastination. I usually read the news, check my e-mail, play some online chess och read up on what's going on at devrant :)

@retoor

Are you being ironic or do you seiously consider those so called "advantages" as real advantages? Anything called modern isn't quite modern, but the same shit revamped.

One of the fundamental problem with LLM is, it never admits that a task is too difficult for it to solve. It's like one of those salespersons working on commission at any store. If you ask them a question they can't answer, they'd never say "I don't know", but instead go yapping as if they had a clue - often with confidence at that.

Swenglish could sound something like this: "Where seventeen have you kept house your slowfuck?" (Var sjutton har du hållit hus din slöfock? = where the heck have you been, you slowpoke?)

@whimsical

OK, now I get it. We have the same thing here, but Swenglish (Swedish/English).

@BordedDev

I still don't follow.

I already look like my profile. Well, almost. My hair isn't quite that grey just yet. And we don't have only one orange cat....among other colours. What can I say? My gf loves pets and our semi-domestified animals in the surrounding forest.

Ah, I notice now you're addressing whimsical :)

@whimsical

Parse error: "With two hours I go to beach." Did you mean "Within two hours"?

@BordedDev

Sure, it sounds good. But there's just one thing: It's from Google. it's the cancer of the internet.

@BordedDev

Dunno, havenät tried it yet. AHh, thatäs interesting. I experimented a bit the OpenAI API last year. The drawbacks, which I gusess might go for all AI models, were: slow, costly, and limited memory.

@BordedDev

OK, but Ollama can host several different LLM:s. Have been thinking of trying DeepSeek R1 in Ollama. But it would probably not run very well on my old hardware.

@BordedDev

Which standards committee? There are many. I used to work in one such committee in the 00s, IEEE/MGIF, and found it rather pleasant. No fighting at all, rather a discussion club. To be completely honest, I don't recall our many lengthy discussions actually resulting in any revolutionising standards, or anything at all. But at least we had a nice time in good company, got tasty grub and fine dining in various cities across Europe.

@kiki

Actually I didn't. It somehow works now, so I don't bother.

Every time Atlassian makes an update, one needs to open the dev console, select the Network tab and click Update - despite having disabled cache. I consider this a flaw in Firefox.

I just read that Linux is also better at running Ollama.

@BordedDev

Not even that. Less than two weeks and I replaced it with Windows 98 - the regular one that actually worked.

@D-4got10-01

Yes, you're right. I should have done that, but somehow never managed to figure it out. The user interface isn't a 100% intuitive.

@whimsical

AI?

I wouldn't consider what we do at devrant as fighting. Hardly even bickering. IMHO the discussions here are rather civilised and nice, actually.

I just realised that Ducky's lack of an "app" for configuration of RGB is actually an advantage. Configure it once on the keyboard itself, and your settings stay, even when attaching it to another computer or reinstalling the OS. Now that I updated Windows 11 at work, the G-Hub software vanished, as did the nice colour scheme for my G513 :(

P.S.

Updating Windows 11 with the latest patches didn't help. It's still the worst OS since Vista.

@D-4got10-01

That's some weird shit.

This reminds me of some of the "features" found on Lenovo laptop keyboards:

* By default, keys F1-F12 aren't F-keys at all, but Fn-keys (for adjusting volume, brightness etc). Fortunately, this can be changed back to normal in the BIOS.

* The Fn-key is where you'd expect Ctrl. This too can be configured in BIOS, but - strangely - it doesn't change the key cap labelling, so you press Fn for Ctrl and vice versa.

@qwwerty

My memory fails me. It could have been 98 SE or just ME. Anyway, I got a new computer in AD 2000 that came pre-installed with this junk of an OS. It took me a couple of days to realise there was no way to patch it to stop it from crashing like every five minutes or so. The most disastrous OS ever.

P.S.

I left out Windows 2000 because it was mostly used at businesses. I don't remember any private consumer using it at home.

8.1, well it was sort of a patch to address at least the worst issues with 8.

One thing that really pisses me off with Windorks 11, is that task bar previews can't be disabled. I used to disable (or at least delay) them using a registry key, ExtendedUIHoverTime. This worked in Windows 10, but does nothing in Windows 11. IMHO, an OS should just do its job and shut up. M$ design philosophy seems to be the opposite - loud, annoying and interfering with whatever the user tries to do.

Choose Windows 11 - if you want your productivity to drop near zero.

@D-4got10-01

No prob :)

I have them both, G512 at work and G513 at home.

The only negative thing I can say about the G513 is that the paint on the keycaps chips off really fast. If you can live with its impaired cosmetics, it's still a great keyboard. Mine held up for...don't remember...4 years or so. It still works except left arrow key is chattering at times. My G513, on the other hand, still works without a hitch and hasn't chipped off even a bit. I remember now I got it replaced once. The first one was flawed with chattering on multiple keys. Logitech used to be quality. They still are, but inconsistent. It's a lottery.

@Liebranca

Totally agree. TKL are more or less useless to me. As far as I've seen Ducky has both TKL and full layout of all of their models. Mine is a full layout, of course.

P.S.

I'm an old-timer. Born in...*cough*...1972. Grey beard, enjoying an occassional nap, finding music played on public radio modern. Considering 1AM a suitable time to leave a party. Y'know, all those sorts of things that I hated when I was young.

@D-4got10-01

I have a G512 at work. It's OK, but I prefer the G513 over it. Brown vs blue switches. It's a matter of taste.

@qwwerty

*lol*

But I believe Win12 will be OK - to follow the pattern so far: every second (consumer-oriented) Windows good, every second bad.

3.1 boring but OK

95 flashy but utterly buggy

98 the first good Windows

98ME disastrously buggy

XP great!

Vista awful!

7 great!

8 terrible!

10 rather good - after hours of tweaking

11 A long list of issues with the UX and performance. I don't even know where to begin.

@D-4got10-01

Totally agree. MS seem to think users actually want bloat.

I have a Ducky One 3 with blue switches. Perfectly happy with it. It too has ADHD RGB by default, but it can be configured to something more subtle or disabled altogether. The configuration part turned out to be a bit tricky though. Once I finally managed to make it look OK, I don't dare to touch it *lol* Apart from that little hurdle, it's an absolutely fantastic keyboard with that right tactile feeling and responsiveness. I can forget about the keyboard, and just type away as if my mind were tapped directly to the computer.
