  • This is it exactly. Touch screen interfaces feel too clunky or imprecise to quickly search for a lot of stuff. Maybe it’s because there is an animation between every action like switching tabs it’s not a quick thing to do and multiple on screen windows is not an option.

    My phone is for chatting, videos, and Lemmy/mastodon.

  • For me, apps do not get to notify me unless it’s time sensitive.

    The problem is when my food delivery app, or LinkedIn sends me ads when I just want messages.

    It’s annoying to not be able to only receive messages.

  • I have a good personality for sales. Like I’m generally pretty talkative and good at making friends with people pretty quickly.

    Because of this most jobs I applied for tried to put me in a sales position. The thing is, is that I’m kind of a minimalist and think there is so much crap out there that people buy. Like I just don’t get why people buy certain things.

    I’m not judging, but I don’t understand it.

    So when I’m asked to sell something, in my heart, I just think. You don’t need any of this crap.

  • ChatGPT 3.5 and Google Gemini mostly. Someone Microsoft copilot.

    I mostly choose the one that’s most convenient in that moment. I don’t ever measure performance or capability.

    My local home server doesn’t have a gpu yet, but I might get one to run some models locally, but I’m not sure whether I care to spend the money to do that or not.

  • There is a lot of do with it, but off the top of my head. I use it to quickly display definitions and parts of speech for lists of words.

    I copy text from a pdf which isn’t always great as I use ocrmypdf so the characters sometimes are wrong and there is a bunch of extra returns. So, I just paste that mess into chatgpt and ask it to format the text.

    I can copy homework assignments and then ask it to make a new assignment on the same topic. It literally saved me like 40 minutes today by creating homework assignments for my students.

    I still proofread for accuracy, but I rarely have any issues with it.

    In addition to work stuff, in my personal life it’s been able to answer tech questions, help me write some python scripts quickly, it also is able to get me pricing information for random stuff like cat vaccines in my area. The info wasn’t posted on any of the vets websites. It gave me a range and when I finally got the price, it was directly in the middle.

    Today for example, my wife and I were wondering about the thick hotel pillows and we just opened the app and asked with our voice. We got all the info we needed in like 5 seconds.

    Sorry to rant, but it’s just been an extremely useful tool.

    I also run it locally and plan to further its use by having it create lessons for me from books that I paste into the prompt. But im not sure how well this will work yet.

  • Yeah, this is me completely, although I did use Fedora kde spin as I was getting tired of the mint ui. I used it exclusively for many many years and the steamdeck completely changed my opinion.

  • proof

  • Once I got food delivered and it was all fucked up. Like not sealed and everything spilled all over everything else. Like soup soaking the ribs.

    They asked for proof that it was in the garbage to make sure will not eat it.

    I wasn’t going to anyway, but just to be an add I put it in a fresh trash bag and sent the picture.

    I’d already sent a picture of how destroyed the meal was when it was delivered.
