Alright fine I admit it, I want to learn Linux in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

There's tons of youtube videos / tutorials on how to create a live usb of a distro, such as linux mint. This will allow you to boot into linux and play around without installing anything and get a feel for linux. It's nowhere as tech wizardry as you think.

And if all your games are on steam and don't have anti cheat things, they'll probably just all work with proton (linux compatibility tool in steam).

Tip: encrust furniture workflow: cut vs large gems (lemmy.zip)

Jeez, I spent about an hour trying to figure this out. I have my glass industry going as I embarked near a volcano and some sand. I first had to get pig tail cloth industry going for bags, but now I have six magma glass furnaces and collecting tons of sand.

I wanted to cut glass into gems to encrust all my furniture with green glass gems. However, the "encrust furniture" work order/job requires cut gems, and not large gems. The default stopping condition for "cut raw glass into gems" which I wanted to use to supply the "encrust furniture with cut glass" is large green glass gems, not cut green glass. Apparently the cut raw glass job has a chance to produce either a cut gem or a large gem (which is useless).

Thus, the cut raw green glass work order stopped when I did not have enough cut green glass to encrust furniture. I was confused because I had all these large green glass gems in my stockpiles, which I originally thought could be used to encrust furniture.

The simple fix was to change the type and material for the "large gems" default condition of the cut raw glass to gems work order to "cut green glass gems". Then I just trade away all the useless large green glass gems.

How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit? in c/[email protected]

Same here. Most of my reddit usage was on my phone and used baconreader. When they killed 3rd party apps I switched to lemmy. My only reddit usage now is occasionally clicking on reddit links to search results on niche topics. Though i don't do that much on my phone because of the annoyance of reddit constantly requesting to open in app instead of mt browser.

I kinda like that AI scrapes all of reddit as my Kagi searches can summarize reddit results without actually going to reddit.

I also don't use any other social media, such as mastodon. I quit facebook about a decade ago and see zero reason to join anything else.

Need a new mechanical KB. Any good guides online or may I ask for help here? in c/[email protected]

Nuphy? I don't know if it meets all your needs but maybe nuphy air 96. Works with VIA and they sell shine through keycaps.

Revealed: Thousands of UK university students caught cheating using AI in c/[email protected]

Chatgpt output isn't crap anymore. I teach introductory physics at a university and require fully written out homework, showing math steps, to problems that I've written. I wrote my own homework many years ago when chegg blew up and all major textbook problems were on chegg.

Just two years ago, chatgpt wasn't so great at intro physics and math. It's pretty good now, and shows all the necessary steps to get the correct answer.

I do not grade my homework on correctness. Students only need to show me effort that they honestly attempted each problem for full credit. But it's way quicker for students to simply upload my homework pdf to chatgpt and copy down the output than give it their own attempt.

Of course, doing this results in poor exam performance. Anecdotally, my exams from my recent fall semester were the lowest they've ever been. I put two problems on my final that directly came from from my homework, one of them being the problem that made me realize roughly 75% of my class was chatgpt'ing all the homework as chatgpt isn't super great at reading angles from figures, and it's like these students had never even seen a problem like it before.

I'm not completely against the use of AI for my homework. It could be like a tutor that students ask questions to when stuck. But unfortunately that takes more effort than simply typing "solve problems 1 through 5, showing all steps, from this document" into chatgpt.
