could add some "classic xy". it loves that SO much, even putting a nudge away from it in custom instructions doesn't clear it.

Books I've read would disagree. Are you the emdash police?
an angry skid in a game can't (D)DoS your router might be one. I'd still prefer to not have CGNAT

the vite Homepage lags on both an A55 and s23fe regardless, which bears at least some irony
Re:How to run Qwen 3.5 locally on Wednesday March 11, 2026 @09:05PM (#47344930)
oh? I used it in t3 chat before, with traits `concise` `avoid unnecessary flattery/affirmation/praise` `witty` `feel free to match potential user's sarcasm`

and it does use that sarcasm permission at times (I still dislike the way it generally communicates)

And now, 26 years later, I have 6 CPU cores, plus SMT, each running at over 4GHz... and the Windows explorer has noticeable loading time at startup and even during clicks :)

Re:30 minutes with a stranger on Friday September 05, 2025 @12:36PM (#45140526)
it's even worse on mobile for me: any time there's a full screen animation, the site lags to a crawl – as in, 500ms+ lag spikes and aingle-digit FPS
hilarious if true, their "gpt-oss-20b" gets it right - however, it still fails on e.g. the German compound word "Dampfschifffahrt" (Dampf-Schiff-Fahrt, steam-ship-journey/ride) because it assumes it's "ff" not "fff"

Re:Jokes and Humour in the Public Android API on Monday June 16, 2025 @09:50AM (#44289490)
If you check the app description, there's a GitHub link, which in turn has an f-droid link you can use.

But you're not missing out since `isUserAGoat()` will return false on Android >=11 anyway and `isUserAMonkey()` will return true if and only if you're using the monkey test suite.

Oooor we could not waste our time with game models that serve no purpose after a minute of "that’s cool"
Re:Minecraft with Object Impermanence on Saturday January 25, 2025 @08:01AM (#42821387)
Man, I’m glad I’m using paper straws and turning off the PC the second I leave the room for the environment while some "researchers" elsewhere waste god knows how many kWh for a barely functional "AI" version of a game. ♥
