lol - I don’t use any AI code in projects I’m paid for at all, but I experiment in my free time. One of the few advantages is that I can keep going when I’m completely braindead, like before first coffee or when I should have gone to bed 3 hours ago. So I prompt things like “run those test thingies” when I can’t even remember the gradle/maven task that I use 50 times per week.

So yes, for me, strangely relatable :-)

I had a EUR 99 digital camera back then which could fit about 15 photos at mediocre resolution. 1600x1200 used about 0.5 MB. I would think that many consumer devices took higher resolution photos in the late 2000s already, though.

Don’t you think it might have IDE? In any case, I use almost only SSDs internally, HDDs externally for backups.

750 GB. That visible side advertises as “750,000 pictures” or something, but the other side clarifies that it’s 750 GB.

For 2 years, I had to set up production environments on RHEL, mostly Apache and Keycloak servers. I had a limited, very specific list of sudo permissions, and I had to ask very specifically what I else needed, which was then granted by people who neither knew nor cared what I was working on.

SELinux permission problems were always the fallback reason when nothing else made sense. With my permissions, I could not just straight up check for it. E. g. Apache would not server a folder, cryptic error -> check file permissions -> check general Apache config problems -> assume SELinux permission is missing and request it, supplying the exact command they need to type.

Evidently, it’s not enough when many people try to block or ignore ads.

What would stop them would be a sufficiently large minority that really takes note of the ads they see and actively avoids the products. Like, even when it is the best for a given situation, buy the second best instead.

Only that would take away from the people they still do reach.

In theory, even a minority (20%?) could make ads harmful for the advertiser.
