Lydia_K@startrek.websitetoShitty Ask Lemmy@lemmy.ml•I'm going to see Mickey 17; do I need to watch the other 16 Mickey movies first?English7·3 months agoYou can kinda skip Big Hero 4, it’s sort of a side plot from the main story. Big Hero 5 really picks up the story from where Big Hero 3 left off for the most part.
Lydia_K@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•Has anyone here ever tried Linux From Scratch?English15·1 year agoI ran it as my primary distro on my main machine for a while way back when. I don’t recommend that.
What I do recommend is going though the entire process even if it’s just in a VM. It’s incredibly educational and will teach you a ton about Linux and OS construction in general. I used to recommend it to everyone I was teaching linux/ Unix too and all the students who actually went through it and completed it now have successful IT careers. 100% an incredibly valuable teaching resource, you will look at all OS’s with new eyes after you’ve built one bit by bit from source by hand.
I prefer FreeLager myself.

Lydia_K@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.ml•Fourteen LLMs fight it out in Street Fighter III — Faster models make the best street fighters.English3·1 year agoLLMs don’t make decisions or understand things at all, they just regurgitate text in a human like manner.
I say this as someone who sees a lot of potential in the technology, though, but like this, or like most people are claiming we can use them.
Lydia_K@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•What Do People Think of Apple's Vision Pro Headsets?English61·1 year agoThank you very much for your thoughtful and detailed replies, it is much appreciated. This headset finally makes some kind of sense for what it is.
Lydia_K@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•What Do People Think of Apple's Vision Pro Headsets?English111·1 year agoOk cool, if I may take a swing at summarizing what you said?
What you are really talking about are the potential applications of AR (Augmented Reality), which I will totally agree with, that is a future state that is coming, unfortunately those apps mostly don’t exist for the consumer space yet, but they will.
The apple headset being the first commercially available headset that does AR well.
Lydia_K@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•What Do People Think of Apple's Vision Pro Headsets?English231·1 year agoWhat would you use it for? Honest question.
I can’t see using it for work. Writing a long email with an onscreen keyboard is not realistic.
It doesn’t really play games.
So it’s for watching YouTube on your face? I have a TV and couch that do that, and a phone in my pocket 24/7 that will do that. I honestly can’t figure out the use case.
Lydia_K@startrek.websiteto Programming@programming.dev•With AI looming, is there still space for new coders?English3·1 year agoThank you for not being the rare rational outlook on AI and buying into the AI fear mongering, or the AI hype train.
AI is the new auto hammer, it can do things faster and sometimes better. Why you can build a house faster and with less effort! Or you can bash someone’s skull in faster and with less effort! It’s just a new tool we can use, for better or for worse, like every other new tool before it.

Ah, the mark of the mature argument.
Lydia_K@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Meet generation stay-at-home: ‘You don’t need to pay to go clubbing: you can sit at home and watch it on your phone’English4·1 year agoHell yes, see you at K sky.
No, it flew, no roads, it was most definitely not, a long road getting from there to here.
Lydia_K@startrek.websiteto Memes@lemmy.ml•It's up to you to break generational traumaEnglish29·1 year agoGen-what?
Lydia_K@startrek.websiteto Memes@sopuli.xyz•He was a hero, we just couldn't see it...English762·1 year agoThis is a great take on a very subtle moment with an underappreciated character.
Wow! That’s amazing, let me try ************* Did that show up for you?
I use awk all the time, nothing too fancy, but when you need to pull out elements of text it’s usually way easier than using cut.
awk {’ print $3 '} will pull the third element based on your IFS variable (internal field separater, default is whitespace)
awk {’ print $NF ‘} gets you the last element, and awk {’ print $(NF-1) '} gets you one element from the last, and so on.
Basic usage but so fast and easy for so many everyday command line things.
Just another beautiful day in the neighborhood.
I really like AppImage, but so far my experiences with flatpak have all been pretty terrible.
I’m proud of you ❤️
