@skinnylatte yesterday I said "I need an easy, I mean easy way to make flowcharts" and I have like a dozen mentions.

@skinnylatte Actual Intelligence.

[cynical_melomaniac@freeradical.zone]

@skinnylatte It's a summoning phrase for very knowledgeable folks on a niche subject matter.

@skinnylatte Quicker post something like:

I am thinking that I need to edit my local host file. I figure the best way to do that would be to use MS Word and save over the old one. What'd you think?

You'll get a lot quicker response, probably a bit more irate, but you can just copy/paste from the comments since well over 100 people will provide the correct response.

@Su_G @paulk @skinnylatte I keep using Artisanal Intelligence 🙂

[delcj@mas.to]

@hanktank61 that one's also very good 👍🏾

@skinnylatte Other than that it is also well proven that in order to get information you just have to say something wrong.

[fgbjr@indieweb.social]

@skinnylatte And here I thought they were just being kind.

@skinnylatte

I got rapid, detailed, and precise answers on precisely how to do the admittedly-kinda-weird technical thing I wanted to do in Linux, within 24 hours.

[thedyslexickitchenwitxh@mastodon.green]

@skinnylatte agreed. only getting into mastodon for real rn but so far ppl have been very willing to help

[mkj@social.mkj.earth]

@anders_von_hadern I think how well that works depends on *where* on the Internet you say something wrong, though.

@skinnylatte Thanks for the tip 😄 I have never used AI, somehow cannot bring myself to it. It might also be I avoid using it so that I still exercise my brain capacities? Now, if there is a problematic question, I shall now put it online for some help.

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@cwicseolfor haha I wholeheartedly agree. I have given up on searching for answers to technical things on the web, when I can just ask the question here and get brilliant advice and solutions in under 2 minutes.

There are so many incredibly smart and generous people on here, willing to help ❤️
