I don't think Xerox invented the computer mouse. It was first drawn out by Douglass Engelbart and presented to the public in the 1968 presentation "Augmenting the Human Intellect" (you can watch it on the present day, it was recorded).

It was my understanding (which I did not verify) that this was picked up by Xerox and others and that windowing systems evolved from there on with Xerox leading towards Desktop Publishing.

This must be from another timeline. Sorry for the inconvenience, please skip.

User focused applications running on my own internet accessible infrastructure fully based on open standards and interoperable with the Fediverse... Yes please

I'm looking forward to play with this.

Mercedes's stars have been on springs for decades indeed. You can easily push them over (but make sure you put it back nicely). I think Rolls Royce's Spirit of Ecstasy pops back into the hood but I don't know how that works on impact.

The writing style and positive fighting spirit of https://lemmy.world/comment/3597938 is great. Would read a book of this person.

Kubernetetes is crazy complex when comparing to docker-compose. It is built to solve scaling problems us self-hosters don't have.

First learn a few docker commands, set some environment variables, mount some volumes, publish a port. Then learn docker-compose.

Tutorials are plenty, if those from docker.com still exist they're likely still sufficient.

Agree.

I found it more tempting to accept the initial answers I got from GPT4 (and derivatives) because they are so well written. I know there are more like me.

With the advent of working LLMs, reference manuals should gain importance too. I check them more often than before because LLMs have forced me to. Could be very positive.

Perplexity.ai has been my go to for this reason.

It often brings up bad solutions to a problem and checking the sources it references shows it regulary misses the gist of these sources.

There sources it selects are often not the ones I end up using. They are starting point, but not the best starting point.

What it is good for is for finding content when I don't know the terminology of the domain. It is a starting point ready to lead me astray with exquisitely written content.

Find trustworthy sources and use them.

Do you fact-check the answers?
