My problem here isn't about real terms (which you might notice I didn't even say). It's about the fact that in a cost of living crisis this article even exists. It's incredibly tone deaf and feels very much like a "ooh look at the shiny" slight of hand. "Things can't be that bad, look wages are growing!" Does that sound like an accurate assessment of the economic situation here right now?

Yes, wages have grown - that's great but it's not particularly relevant when a lot of people are reliant on food banks to eat. Including those who have had an 8% pay rise.

Having more money is great, but only when you can actually get more with it.

Ha. What bullshit.

I use ChatGPT/LLMs all the time for YAML. I'm not good at coding and sometimes the HA forums can be hard for me to understand as sometimes things are suggested that are asssumed-knowns.

Yeah it doesn't get it right every time but at the very least it can point me in a direction to start doing my own googling. Most of the time though ChatGPT or Bard actually give me solutions that work with one or two revisions. After I have a solution in place that works I'll then try and break it down to understand why it works and what everything does in an effort to learn instead of relying on LLMs

Spent the morning running errands, hospital appointment, breakfast with mum now I'm staying indoors for the rest of the day. Currently awaiting a cheeky chinese for lunch.

I love FOSS but I too use Sync. Used it on Reddit for the better part of a decade and it's made Lemmy more accessible for me and also some friends.

In the end if people are happy to pay for a client, which then builds the membership of Lemmy communities - what's the big fucking deal? I'm very happy to be here and very happy to continue supporting a dev that does fantastic work.

Jesus. Red Bull really are in a league of their own.

As a Mercedes fan: 😢

I know some of the production crew on this and in case anyone was wondering he does genuinely seem to be a very nice guy off camera

Pretty sure the remove ads is lifetime not yearly (I can't check as I'm subscribed to Ultra). I think anyway. Ultra is the subscription model.

Absolutely fine to say your partner was a cute kid. Nothing creepy at all.

Saying something like "Got any nudes of you at that age?" Now that would be fucking creepy.

Closed, I already have scars from our cat's mad night escapades.
