That's not a translation problem, so LLMs are terrible for it.

Always use the right tool for the job. If there are a lot of nails to be hammered, you need a guy with a hammer.

Any task that can be expressed as mostly translation is a good task to try with an LLM.

And you know what? Stakeholders tend to love LLMs, so have fun with your complicated problems while I build them by using the ancient technique of slapping some boilerplate together and combining it with the new ways of pasting error messages into chatgippity.

As you said, proper google services instead of microG. It's been a bit since I used it, but it wasn't great back then.

Have you seen the surface book? It could have twice the battery capacity if they just put more batteries into all the empty space.

The "large amounts of money" part only applies when you work at SAP or far enough away from them.

I do SAP development writing ABAP and making forms.

SAP would go bankrupt because their core product is written in an internal language that's ridiculously complicated and takes decades to fully learn.

The businesses would keep using their systems for many years and eventually migrate to better solutions.

So the world definitely won't end for me either.

I just use debian for my ventoy. But all you really need is a proper partition manager.

You can use tailscale for that, it took literally 1 minute to set up for me and is completely free for use cases like this.

We have memes that meme on other memes that meme on basic memes, aka tier 3 memes.

A more advanced civilization has probably a much higher tier of meming where you need to learn meme lore for many years before you can comprehend state of the art memes. How high that tier is depends om the lifetime of individuals, I reckon humans could reach tier 10 before there are too many memes to fit in a lifetime.

The atheism community is such a circlejerk that I decided to block it. So, congratulations I guess.

If you live in a place where you can buy anonymous SIM cards and USB modems, that's a safe way to make sure no IP information can be traced back to you.

It's probably a bit overkill for this but if you're not Edward Snowden, you can use that setup for a long time and don't have to discard it.
