That’s unfortunate. Can’t say I’m surprised. Google is garbage.

Setup a Pi Hole for network level ad blocking.

You’re right, I apologize, it’s really 3 lines of code repeated over and over. It’s repeated for each monitor/action (brighten/dimming) being performed. The script file it technically 47 lines because I have 3 monitors and 10 different shortcuts.

Here’s the first action for the first monitor. Just edit the name and the brightness amount and voilà. The comment inline code formatting might put it on one line.

^!+PgUp:: Run, D:\Programs\ControlMyMonitor\ControlMyMonitor.exe /ChangeValue "MSI G274QPF" 10 20 return

To be honest, I hesitate to even consider this example programming. The only thing it’s doing is executing a single command when a key combination is pressed. It doesn’t require really any programming experience. No loops, variables, scope, no time complexity, nothing.

Using an AI robbed them of learning even the smallest of concepts and they have not grown as a result.

It’s the same thing with any other concept; I don’t need to dedicate my life being an auto mechanic, but I should at least be able to know how to change a tire when I need to.

You’re dictating to and micromanaging an algorithm. Cringe individuals would refer to themselves as “Prompt Engineers” or something like that.

Instead of actually writing the code and understanding what each function actually does, you’re basically just skimming whatever the output is. You’re not gaining experience in programming by doing that and you may not be aware of what exactly everything does. Could be harmless until something unexpected starts causing issues.

For your specific case, an LLM seems completely overkill. I’ve also setup my desktop monitors to change brightness via a couple keyboard shortcuts using ControlMyMonitor and AutoHotkey. It’s like 10 lines of code.

I’ve never heard anyone actually complain about this, lol.

Saving this for later. Thank you!

There is no paradox. vibe coding = not writing code = not being a programmer.

We should compile a list of all the nicknames. There’s been some real good ones. 😂

That works as long as you have the cookies for it; it won’t work in private browsing. Using OP’s method works in private browsing, too.

Both are good.

What’s stopping people from making extremely cursed deepfakes of these idiots and spamming it everywhere? They’ve got to get tired of it eventually.

I mean, they aren’t new for me, but at least I showered.

Haha, I did the same exact thing. I stopped after I realized it has seemingly infinite NG+

It’s perfect for the Steamdeck.

Sennheiser is pretty good; I got a wireless pair from them. Main problem for me is that they get sweaty really easily, so I can’t do more than just sit at my computer while wearing them. Their prices also appeared to have gone up, too.

Hey, that’s me! 🫶

Ball X Pit. Just bouncing my baby balls all over the place is the best.

How is it surprising? If you leave the microscopic echo chamber that is Lemmy, I’m sure 9 out of 100 people know what a URL is. Just because people use something every day doesn’t mean they know how it works.

My dick. AYOOO GOTTEM

Me at work when people talk about not working during the holidays.

…is this supposed to be news?
