a large language model sees a turtle lying on its back on the sand. why is the large language model not helping the turtle

i founded computer fairies roughly this day 6 years ago, give or take initial federation growing pains. in the first week we had an issue with the host, which i managed to fix through ssh from my phone while sitting at an university class, which made me feel very badass indeed

i'm electively no longer part of the staff but i'm glad i started this corner of the internet and i'm delighted it's still existing to this day

this is supposedly an issue with intel wi-fi cards and the fact that linux has a wi-fi power saving mode that's not meant to be used but ships as enabled anyway and yet even disabling the power save doesn't fix the issue because linux is bad

thinkpads and linux a match made in heaven if heaven is rebooting every 30 minutes because linux decided you suddenly don't actually have a wi-fi card

if you thought that "let me google that for you" was annoying, just you wait until all computer software from now on is just missing basically every feature, and the stock answer becomes "ask the LLM to work out how to do it idk"

and also all transphobes for that matter, go fucking molest yourselves with barbed wire

i don't think mastodon is any better than twitter at all and i think the people here are just as bad i just have nowhere else to go

mastodon in theory: decentralized twitter

mastodon in practice: what if we pooled ten different early-2000s opinionated web forums together into a thunderdome

mastodon users: "you shouldn't care about followers! you should just be thankful about the actual people in the network"

also mastodon users: "i switched servers and lost all my followers can you boost please 🥺👉👈"

how come the transphobes left me out of the fun this time u.u i want to report people too

can you imagine if any tech companies were hiring right now? how cool would that be? too bad jobs don't exist anymore, just bills. we got rid of jobs but not of needing money to survive

was anybody going to tell me ESA was gearing up to launch the JUpiter ICy moons Explorer on Homestuck Day or was i meant to find that out on my own
