  • What are "modern" Thinkpads like?

  • I'm using a x1 carbon from 4 years ago and it's great, super happy with it and would buy another if I broke it. I ran mint on it for years and now cachy, it's solid

  • You didn't answer the question that we all have - do the candies actually taste like the Gros Michel?

  • Dual Canadian British citizens scrambling under new passport rules

    Jump

  • That doesn't seem to be true? Their site says you can use another passport as verification if renewing - https://www.gov.uk/renew-adult-passport/renew or if applying you need a little more https://www.gov.uk/apply-first-adult-passport/what-documents-you-need-to-apply

    I'm about to have to go through this now. I'm a dual citizen but I've never lived over there, and have a trip planned to visit family later this year. I let my British passport expire over 10 years ago because I never use it.

    More details here too https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/overseas-passport-supporting-documents-group-3/applying-for-a-passport-from-outside-the-uk-supporting-documents-group-3-accessible The supporting docs in table A are definitely doable without living in the UK, if you even need to use that table. Their site is unclear and contradictory unfortunately between that last link and the earlier ones

  • FediNSFW the announcements community for the lemmyNSFW replacement

    Jump

  • I pinged you in matrix, but feel free to poke me if you've got any technical questions! Seeing all the NSFW content start to show up everywhere else really shows the need for a dedicated instance IMHO.

  • Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown | Launch Trailer | Coming February 18!

    Jump

  • I'm definitely intrigued. Most of the early demo reviews hated on it for being text heavy instead of voice actors, so I'm keen to see some updated reviews.

  • Have you found an actually practical use of or place in a workflow of yours using an LLM?

    Jump

  • There's no room for nuance on the internet anymore. AI == Bad

  • Have you found an actually practical use of or place in a workflow of yours using an LLM?

    Jump

  • Yes, I use it all day at work for troubleshooting unfamiliar code in a giant monorepo, and writing terraform / k8s files. Claude code is easily a 20x time multiplier for investigating things I'm not fluent in, and probably 3x for writing new stuff.

    Note that I'm not vibe coding. Everything is peer reviewed and I understand what it's all doing. Many people seem to assume if you use an AI then you're just vibe coding, that isn't the case.

  • Can't write AOC without CIA

  • Wheres the evidence he believes the same things as his dad?

    My dad believed in chem trails and secret alien power plants underneath the pyramids, I don't.

  • Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks

    Jump

  • Yeah you're wrong. I could barely make it through a few episodes of SGU, but STA is much better.

  • Canada Gives U.S. Arms Makers the Cold Shoulder on Military Spending

  • Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks

    Jump

  • I found Discovery the same way, it's the only trek series I couldn't make it through.

    Picard suffered from bad writing unfortunately. Season 3 cashed in on nostalgia and I appreciate it for that, but the first 2 seasons were very meh.

    Starfleet academy is great though, IF you're ok with a show targeted to young adults. If you're not ok with that, the episodes will be very hit and miss. The most recent episode was fantastic, once you get through the 3 minute long sex scene it opened with. Even that does serve a purpose though to show the bond that's developed between two chars.

  • Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks

    Jump

  • Which I find kinda surprising, since I would call SNW fairly "woke" if you actually pay attention to the show. Maybe it's just because it's a male captain set in the TOS era, and it's a more traditional trek show?

  • Is there a way to make money as someone with autism?

    Jump

  • I was just asking a question? In fact almost the exact question you answered? Your comment would just be constructive instead of rude without the first two sentences. Thanks for the info anyways.

    Despite their best intentions they can't protect their child forever. They need to have an honest discussion together so op understands why, but I still feel it's reasonable to try and do something to grow themselves. It's not going to get easier as the family gets older and the parents eventually can no longer work themselves.

  • Is there a way to make money as someone with autism?

    Jump

  • Why won't your parents let you get a job? You're gonna need to be an adult at some point, over sheltering you is just going to hurt you more in the long run.

  • Server upgrades complete! The Lemmy Club is now hosted in Canada 🇨🇦! - plus, we're moving away from Cloudflare.

    Jump

  • Ouch, shots fired 😂. Congrats on the move though! ♥️

    If you're on ovh, make sure you've enabled their monitoring. Otherwise if your server goes down they won't do sweet fuck all outside of business hours.

    We're moving off cloudflare pretty soon too, I'm just sorting out some last issues with our new Canadian cdn.

  • Notice: failed container health check for example.org

    Jump

  • Why are you relying on example.com as a health check? To be really blunt about it, if you're using it then you've misconfigured your stuff.

    From their docs:

    These web services are provided as best effort, but are not designed to support production applications. While incidental traffic for incorrectly configured applications is expected, please do not design applications that require the example domains to have operating HTTP service.

  • Many (maybe most?) of us just use the all feed, and block the communities we don't want to see. That makes the specific community / instance a lot less important than reddit.
