Still cannot recreate the responsiveness and auto-adapting resolution/DPI nature of Windows RDP in Linux. I want to be able to remotely connect from a laptop, desktop, etc and have it adapt to the client resolution and everything be clear and responsive and support keyboard shortcuts and re-up my existing session. Bandwidth isn’t the issue here, typically 5+ gbps fiber. Have tried xrdp, various VNC clients, gnome remote desktop, nomachine, AnyDesk, rustdesk, parsec, etc.

This is actually the only thing holding me back.

I run multiple Linux VMs or LXCs (Debian, Fedora, Mint, Ubuntu…probably others) but making it my one and only primary just hasn’t worked out.

Definitely more helpful. But I would preface that with proper context building.

It isn’t enough (generally) to just tell it to do the thing. It is far better to to tell it to do a thing, and how, and provide rules, and provide examples, and provide the company’s best practices.

And I realize it takes a bit to get there, but I’m at a point that with enough context provisions, I can generate 10+ files of code for a net new feature that is 99%+ how I would do it in sub 5 minutes.

Do I tell Product that I still need another week? Absolutely.

Context is king.

It goes through two levels of review, we do not accept slop.

Cry more. Half the problem is Copilot is anecdotally worse than just running a model locally myself. It easily ranks at or near the bottom for everything IME.

The other half is Microsoft shoving it everywhere including fucking Notepad.

I feel like you must be prompting it poorly or using ChatGPT / Copilot?

I’d say in my day to day, AI tooling successfully tackles 90% of my software engineering jobs and with proper context and promoting the output is pretty stellar.

TIL Nova still exists…

Unfortunately I can’t do much with just that.

Keep a gun close, add some cameras, but otherwise this person is probably just a POS troll.

If you can DM me their name and any other identifying info you have (general city, photos, phone number, email address, social links, etc.) I can maybe provide quite a bit of info on them. I will not say how.

But I would also ask what the end game is here?

For me now it’s that Anthropic services are down :/

SadTech reporting in.

I could turkey quit all Meta platforms over a year ago and also forcibly block them at the router level…

…it’s easier than you think. The only thing I miss is my rural community group so I could see what was going on, but beyond that it’s whatever. I feel free.

Too little too late, canceled and never going back. I hope Spotify eventually trends to zero.

I love Porkbun and live an hour from their office. I have had a number of extremely questionable registrations with them dating back to 2016 and have not had any issues thus far.

It isn’t Canadian but it’s right here in my home state of Oregon: Porkbun

They’re great, easy to use, and thus far despite some extremely questionable registrations of my own expressing a variety of views - no issues.

I also live close enough to their office that I could bang on the door if something were awry…
