I’m reasonably certain GP is (humorously) trolling us

Yup the readme reeks of llm generated fluff. Lately I find myself getting more and more suspicious whenever I see lots of emojis in markdown headers..

Source? Been googling for this but I don’t see any relevant info

Ive installed the gtar formula and aliased it to tar. Cant be bothered to memorize the differences between macOS tar and unix tar, especially when the latter is considered to be the de facto standard

Would you happen to have a link to this? For science of course :)

This has been ongoing for some time. I’ve raised valid issues in several encode projects and received rude/dismissive comments from this individual. I’ve reviewed their recent interactions with others on GitHub and it’s obvious that Mia (tom?) is super toxic/drama seeking

If component prices keep going up and the respective monopoly/duopoly/triopoly for each component colludes to keep prices high/supply constrained, then eventually devices will become too expensive for the average consumer. So what’s the game plan here? Are companies planning to let users lease a device from them? Worth noting that Sony already lets you do this with a ps5. Sounds like we’re headed towards a “you will own nothing and be happy” type situation

Yup that’s why I suggested it. The vsdx schema is notably complex and I don’t see a lot of code examples in the wild. I seriously doubt an llm would be able to output working code for it. Docx is a common use case and a quick google search yields multiple popular libraries that understand the format. Anyways, cool that an llm was able to output a functional docx editor, but that’s certainly not impressive or a groundbreaking feat by any means

Would be more impressive if this was done for something obscure like Microsoft Visio. Theres countless oss ms word editors/libs Claude probably ripped off

Citation needed. I know folks using the free plan that have gotten ddos’d and cloudflare kept them online. Can you point me to an article where cloudflare disconnected someone for getting attacked

I do something similar. I bootstrap all my new installs with brew cask https://github.com/fastily/autobots/tree/master/macOS/setup

> They know that with enough reports in a short period of time they can get the content removed for a while

This can be accomplished with bogus dmca notices too. Since google gets such a high volume of notices the default action is just to shoot first and ask questions later. Alarmingly, there are 0 consequences (financial or legal) for sending bogus dmca notices

Personally I gave up a long time ago and just installed Debian Linux. But it’s wild to me that the average non-technical/casual windows user has to put up with so much bs… it’s an atrocious ux

I’m using steam on Ubuntu 24.04 with 9y old hardware (which was mid-tier when new), playing mostly 2d platformer games and older resident evil titles. Never had any issues, this setup runs like a champ

There’s already a free self-hosted version of this that’s significantly more capable: https://github.com/C4illin/ConvertX. Not sure what your path to profitability is here but you may want to rethink your approach

It’s just another tool in the downsizing toolbox. Also traditional layoffs and RTO “layoffs” don’t have to be mutually exclusive, both can easily occur at the same time

I’ve got 90tb of Linux isos consisting of tens of thousands of files on 168tb of spinning rust. I’m running reasonably powerful hardware though (5600x + 128gb ram), suspect GP is bottlenecked by hardware
