The extra letters are there to confuse the English, not be pronounced. It’s a cunning plan to deal with the silly eenglish knigits!

That’s a fowl thing to call them!

“Oi, you can’t oink there mate”

I like it, I’d like to read more, do you have the source?

I feel like me were talking about this just a few days ago, although the thread seems to have vanished. It’s good to see they have a clean, corporate friendly, site for marketing to corporates. Now they just need to ideally sort their billing options to be a little more “purchase order” friendly, and it’s a solid offering.

It casts a touch range spell, the somatic component consists of switching it on and applying it to the spell’s target in the right way, and the result is typically the target squirming around and making happy noises. They have disadvantage on all checks for 1d12 rounds.

They do have a professional offering, but it’s offered in a deeply unprofessional way. Selling to businesses means you need both the technical offering, but also the correct commercial offering. That means presenting yourself in a way that attracts the attention of the decision makers in those businesses, and telling them a compelling story of why your product is the best fit to solce their problem. A .lol domain and a cartoon catgirl doesn’t do that.

I’d suggest that, for the cost of an extra domain name, and a boring logo, they could probably significantly increase their subscriber base. There’s nothing stopping them keeping the current mascot on the current site at the same time.

You call it stupid to prejudge a project in such a way, but businesses need a product to buy, not a project.

It is a big problem with a number of opensource projects that could get wider adoption and support, especially from businesses, but seem to, almost deliberately, work against that with their naming and/or branding.

Anubis is a perfect example. In this case the name is ok, and by all means have a cutsey mascot for the basic offering, but if they want businesses to subscribe they need a professional offering. That should be on a separate domain, styled to attract the decision makers in their target market, and that includes having a .com or similar domain name and a more serious logo. Do that, and it becomes a serious contender in the market, rather than a technically good but excessively kooky option.

Yes, personally I don’t have a huge problem if someone uses an LLM, that’s been trained only on opensource code, on a project, but that someone has to put their name to the code, documentation, tests or anything elsr produced, and take full responsibility for it. As in, they suffer the same consequences if it causes an issue as if they’d hand coded it, with particular attention paid to whether the result is maintainable, and whether it breaches any licences.

Of course, most LLMs have, by now, injested a lot of proprietary code that people have mindlessly sent in queries, rendering all of their output tainted.

It’s not really stupid. Things that are unusual are more noticeable, and garner more comment. We’ve grown used to devs tirelessly doing what they do, to the point most people don’t think about where their software comes from, but a machine sort of doing it (poorly, so very poorly) is novel, so people talk about it.

Currently, software mostly working as it should is the norm, so people don’t talk about it much. When the wave of slopcoded disasters starts to grow, people will talk about it, because software is suddenly not working as it should.

There’s another tube from one nostril to the other, and that joins the main tube, so really humans are just tubes with four ends.

If they make a mobo that’ll take at least 64gb of DDR3, and an architecture that’ll use it, I’m interested.

Normal doesn’t mean right, it just means the same as usual, and they didn’t even hit that.

were they trying to finish the job by disconnecting her from life support?

I’d imagine so, yes. Clean up the loose ends as it were. Trying, twice, to kill someone and having them still walking around is rather embarassing after all.

Nurse? Nurse! They’ve escaped again. Yes, you’d better bring the dried frog pills and the big net, but maybe we can tempt them back with the smell of shudder garlic and caramelized onion coffee.

The irony of your post is that you complain that people are “starting to speak in non-specific manner and use too much fiction and metaphors” whilst, yourself, not being specific about what you’re referring to, and using metaphors (referring to non bovine excrement as “bullshit”). If this was some sort of meta post, I take my hat off to you, otherwise, could you give examples?

Ah yes, thank you, it was, indeed, bertstrips@lemm.ee. It looks like they tried to move to !bertstrips@moist.catsweat.com, but it’s been a year since anyone posted there.

RIP lemm.ee, it was an excellent server, and my previous home.

I think the idea is that a light colour tends to make the room look bigger and “fresher” than a dark one. It’s also definitely a lot easier to paint over than a “Teal Ripple” feature wall. Neutral colours and basic but nice looking furniture also means a potential buyer isn’t put off by the current occupier’s decorative tastes.

The better quality stuff has quite a thick ‘wear layer’, with the effect all the way through that layer, so they don’t lose it too quickly.
