    I got to 45 before I started at the last 15 seconds ticking down while "bug. bug!!!" was the only thing that kept going through my mind (a useless answer, but brain couldn't think of anything else except non-specific 'bug' in a panic)

    That's not a bad point! @ u/positive, we could always adjust them into pale wood stairs, or maybe use those grey/white dotted stairs? Let's see what works!

    I have found that if I ever feel weirdly bad about the animal farms in minecraft, accidentally falling into one or accidentally breaking a block so the animals escape quickly cures me of that notion.

    Trust me, you never want pixelated chickens to die MORE than if you accidentally find yourself surrounded by 500 of them, doubly so if they're now also free roaming and you have to manually hunt them down lest the entire server be chicken-fied by your hands :p

    I don't think I've ever heard of an iPhone user here using iMessage. No one even uses facetime (Netherlands), they use WhatsApp video calling - because, of course, everyone has WhatsApp so why go to another app?

    WhatsApp is how I talk to my pet groomer, every tradesmen in existence, it's even how I talk to my freaking pharmacy (obviously not about specific prescriptions, but if I need to ask them where my shipment I was expecting in x date is, I text them via WhatsApp.)

    It is not possible to live in the Netherlands without it. You will at some point need it, no matter how off-the-grid you want to be. You'll need a painter at some point, or customer service for a niche thing, or anything small enough not to have their own chatbot on their website - and the only way to contact them is WhatsApp.

    Speaking of borked, @creesch, think it'll be fixed sometime soon? Cause I only get 2 hours of downtime a night and I'll go do something else then :p Edit: ah I saw the update!

    ... Somehow I'm surprised, but also not surprised.

    I do feel like I've developed an entire new sense in spotting LLM written garbage. Like, I can instantly tell if something was written by an LLM. It's got that... Uncanny valley factor.

    The author of the blog said they're worried about non-experts buying these books and thinking they're legit.

    My hope is that they won't - because you don't have to be an expert at Starlark (as mentioned too by the author) to recognise LLM written garbage.

    Whenever I get the LLM-sense within the first paragraph of a text, I immediately discard the entire thing.

    This is coming from someone who works heavily with 'AI' and is a huge proponent of it btw, but where it has its place - which definitely isn't this.

    I have :) and it's close but no cigar! There's just no snappy equivalent where I can hold my cntrl key, and then using 8 keys on the right side of my keyboard in different combinations snap my windows over my two monitors within a fraction of a second.

    Rectangle is so good that I picked using a Mac again in my new job even though I actually hate HATE Apple. I can't work without it and there's no exact replica for windows.

    I'd also add Shotter as a great tool to have, it's a far more superior screenshot tool and has some great QoL additions over the native screeblnshot tool.
