Are homonyms/homophones more common in English? As a non-native speaker, I remember the vowel shift causing more trouble at first. Also, rules for shortening/combining words can be tricky. They’re/their is the obvious example. But then there’s won’t, where the apostrophe doesn’t simply substitute a letter in two words that work independently. And it’s/its is very confusing, as possessive is normally also marked with 's. Is/are is a whole new thing if your native language doesn’t distinguish.

I don’t get the caption…?

If that’s the worst part you’re having a goddamn amazing time.

Cheers! I’ve just checked memories and it wasn’t there. Maybe I just didn’t notice that it didn’t actually save the request. I thought OpenAI just did a prompt injection forcing the ‘positivity’ on everyone, no matter what memories said. I’ll give it another go.

edit: And just for anyone else reading, this is the memory I fed ChatGPT:

Save this memory: I dislike you overly praising me for questions or statements I make. Comments like “Great question” or “That’s a keen insight” are generally not wanted. If my prompt resolves an issue I’ve been struggling with, you should point it out using natural, conversational language. In this case, a modest recognition helps convey the importance of what’s happened. But I strongly dislike a constant trickle of positive reinforcement embedded into our conversations.

How the heck were you successful? I’ve asked for the exact same, and it makes no difference. It keeps praising me for using it.

Real is the stuff outside of your phone.

Why is “ios” the only one not in all-caps?

iOS begins with a lower-case ‘i’, making this error more frequent.

Why does the apple hq list their mobile system while the other two list their desktop/workstation/server systems?

Apple’s most iconic product is the iPhone, but the meme compares software. So the ‘Apple’-item then becomes iOS.

Why does each get a different proportion of the screen/why aren’t they equally sized/why are they not stacked vertically?

The rule of three applies to jokes and typically dictates that the punchline is third and given extra emphasis. The layout reflects that tradition.

Why is this man not using dark mode, and how is the obvious and glaring light bleed at the bottom-left of his monitor just get accepted?

From what I’ve seen, Linus Thorvalds uses default work environments and doesn’t care much about hardware beyond functionality.

I had amdgpu complete freezes for the longest time. Logs said it was ‘lost from bus’. Turned out it only happened while running Libre Office. Never found a fix/workaround, so I basically don’t do work in Linux on my amd machine.

If you ever talk to someone confused by this, maybe ask them to lightly push the front magnet in the direction it’s trying to go.

Would they equally write ‘mothers’ vs. ‘childless women’ in another article about remote work, I wonder.

For my last install I had to remove either the SSDs or NVMEs (don’t remember which) or the installation would just fail. This was a ‘known’ issue! Fortunately haven’t had to boot it for months…

Some people want to see/show off the logo. Off-brand cases can’t have the Apple logo on them, so it’s a compromise of sorts.

The biggest giveaway here is ChatGPT answering any question with one word without being specifically told to do so.

Like Apple’s devices, Android phones are most secure when they’ve been freshly rebooted. In this “Before First Unlock” (BFU) state, biometrics and location-based unlocking won’t work. The only way to access the device is to use the passcode or PIN. Additionally, all the data stored on the phone is encrypted in the BFU state, making retrieval and snooping much more difficult, even for law enforcement groups that have access to advanced data recovery tools.

I just have never had a Linux system that didn’t require some sort of terminal work to fix the occasional bug. A couple of updates ago Fedora left me with conflicting packages that needed the terminal to straighten out.

I once searched for whale song on YouTube and got one of those.

Assuming the probability of assholiness based on culture is how you treat cultures unequally.

If you agree that bad ideas can be part of cultures (large or small) to a higher or lesser degree, it follows that some cultures have a higher frequency of people with the need for the individual ‘education’ you’re suggesting.
