That’s not really answer, but ok.

Because you can’t unilaterally just save credit card information and use it for payments. Your bank has to support and approve the app/service.

Agree. This type of systems are not even necessary.

That was a hypothetic example, not my opinion on this post.

There’s nothing “absolutistic” about my “stance”. If you’re rusty using a language, you won’t get better if someone else does the homework for you. Make an effort, make mistakes, write in a way that sounds weird, who cares. But practice. If you only take the easy way out, that’ll be your only option in the future.

Although, like I already said, that’s MY way of thinking about it. If you want to use ai to write your stuff, you do you. It doesn’t negate the fact that, whle it’s not “wrong”, it’s the lazy (or minimum effort) option. Don’t know why it bothers you so much.

First, that’s an awful analogy.

Second, you’re assuming (for some unknown reason) that they “cleaned up” the “translation” using ai. You have literally no idea exactly how they wrote the post. It’s kinda weird to make up a random scenario but ok.

Third, no, it’s not an awful take. You can code something that requires a ton of effort but write awful documentation. One thing does not make the other impossible.

Fourth, I already explained that there have already been studies that concluded that using AI to write stuff for you has a negative impact on your communication skills. This is not an opinion or me being ingrateful or whatever. I was just sharing information.

“Activists”? What are you even talking about?

Regardless, I specifically said that what you did wasn’t wrong or anything likw that. I simply think that it’s going to do you more harm than good in the long run. You’re free to do whatever you want though, obviously.

Another piece of advice. When someone simply shares an opinion, don’t get instantly butthurt over nothing. Otherwise this might as well be reddit.

They said it wasn’t their “first” lanugage. Which leads me to believe that they do speak English. If that’s the case, then they indeed are kind of lazy. There have already been studies in the impact of AI when used for communication and the results are not positive.

This isn’t something I’d personally point out and criticize, just something I wouldn’t do personally. Take the time to express your own ideas in your own words. The long term cost is higher than the short term gains.

Or just use two dns providers. I have duckdns and desec. That latter seems to be a bit faster and has’t had any downtime for me so far.

Even if he indeed was more critical in the past, he was never very knowledgeable about the actual technical side of the products he reviewed.

There are tons and tons of websites where you can create an account with just your email. I wouldn’t expect a third party account to be mandatory. Specially from a product like this one.

Maybe this is a pet peeve but it’s a vpn tool that forces you to log in with an “identity provider”. Yeah, no thanks.

Maybe, just maybe, the context in which you use regex isn’t the same as everyone elses. But hey, who am I to deny you the disservice of thinking you’re the center of the world?

Maybe for your very specific use case that’s true. However, other use cases exist and for many of those RegEx is the better option.

You’re discussing a completely different use case from what I said. RegEx can be increidbly useful but it’s not always the only/best option.

Not even close. Sometimes you can have a large text file where you need to do a find replace with a pattern. For example, in the translation world this can be a common occurrence for translation files (.xliff) or translation memories (.tmx).

There’s a reason why this is widely used and it’s not because everyone else but you is dumb.

Hard disagree. The function regex serves in programs like Notepad++ can’t be easily replaced by “writing it out in code”. With a very small number of characters you can get complex search patterns and capturing groups. It’s hard to read but incredibly useful.

I’m neither smug nor a liberal. I’m simply tired of repetitive, dumb and US centric political memes. Lemmy started out sort of ok but it’s turning into a very annoying place.

Do you want people to stop coming here? Because this is how you can get people to stop coming here.
