I mostly agree, I've had good results with similar prompts, but there's usually some mistake in there. It seems particularly bad with python imports, it just uses class A, B, C and imports class A, B and X and calls it a day.

Here are a few prompts that gave pretty good results:

Create a QDialog class that can be used as a modal dialog. The dialog should update itself every 500 ms to call a supplied function, and show the result of the call as a centered QLabel.

How can I make a QDialog move when the user clicks and drags anywhere inside it? The QDialog only contains two QLabel widgets.

For this one, it ignored the method I asked it to use -- but it was possibly correct in doing so, as it doesn't support arbitrary sizes (but I think that's only for the request?):

Hi again! Can you write me a Python function (using PySide) to connect to a named pipe server on Windows? It should use SetNamedPipeHandleState to use PIPEREADMODEMESSAGE, then TransactNamedPipe to send a request (from a method parameter) to a named pipe, then read back a response of arbitrary size.

It should have told me why it ignored using TransactNamedPipe, but when I told it that it ignored my request it explained why.

Why link to a Chinese site? Link to a US .gov site instead if you want to talk about the US position.

Hm, where do they nag? I don't know what Pockets is and haven't seen anything about it.
I also never manually update Firefox, I just restart when it tells me it's downloaded an update.

This is graphics memory, not regular RAM.

Does it only take affect seeding? I'm behind NAT with no port forwarding and often download at 80-110 MB/s (megabytes, not megabits).

A different kind of advice: be vigilant with security updates, and remove services you're not using.
Using insecure software makes it likely you'll get hacked sooner or later, especially if automated scans can find your server. (For example because it's listed in a search engine, or part of some network like the fediverse).

There are several userscripts for collapsible threads, I've used them since like day 2 after the Reddit shutdown!

I use this one: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/468923-kbin-improved-collapsible-comments

Works both on desktop and Android (Firefox + Tampermonkey).

How old are they even? They look more like 14 than 18+.

The third paragraph is wacky on Kbin, but probably because the Markdown syntax isn't 100% compatible with Lemmy.

It looks exactly the same when I copy and paste it:

EpisodeStardate“The Broken Circle”2369.2“Ad Astra per Aspera”2393.8”Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow”1581.2• The USS Cayuga previously appeared in “A Quality of Mercy”.

I'm guessing that's a table, which Kbin doesn't realize is a thing.

That other word IS what they meant!

Do you have a source about the part of not paying the money back?

I'm not so sure about this. If we apply the same logic to cars, it's immediately obvious that almost everyone understands this concept quite well -- jumping out of a moving car is dangerous, precisely because you'll be moving when you hit the ground.

I think they're underestimating how quickly the boat is moving, and how quickly you'll slow down when you hit the water.

The first doesn't work, it suggests the dog wants "eyes" to give it its food. I think #2 is the best.

Ayaneo 2 is one apparently. ROG Ally is one. And there are at least 8 more: https://retrododo.com/best-handheld-gaming-pcs/

I believe OPs point has to do with the direction. From a top-down perspective driving forwards would look like driving upwards, then turning and driving downwards, like an n. U flipped/rotated 180 degrees.

Aren't they extremely popular still...? Highest selling sport series of all-time from what I can see. Certainly not as liked these days though, that's true.

As long as it's as effective as it is, they'll keep using it.

For example, the latest FIFA game that was cracked is FIFA 19. The rest are still safe thanks to Denuvo.

how can a society or any sort of structure be maintained if you can’t remember anything? The whole premise felt a bit off.

The rulers in the palace could remember, though (because of the shielding provided by some metal). And the workers/slaves remembered enough to perform their tasks.

If you don't use a password manager, you should.
I usually go for 32 characters, but some sites don't allow that. 24 is fine too.

It was "just" a bunch of clients in one though, AFAIK it couldn't connect people from different protocols.
Pidgin still exists; I used it probably 20 years back on Linux.
