My hardcore windows only friend is discussing joining me on Bazzite really seriously. If it gets him, it will get a few tech savvy but windlass only people.

Still a long way off non-tech people though

Not at all, there are valid uses for LLMs and I take this community with a gain of salt. I think a lot of us passionately hate the hype narrative and useless uses for the tech, but it doesn't mean that every single use of it is inherently bad.

The biggest thing if worry about might be the risk of it giving/outputting misleading information if it's easy for you to sense check it.

Yeah there's bug fixes I've been following for 3-4 years that have no traction, I wouldn't hold your breath. Considering readar just got discontinued I wouldn't be totally surprised if the same happened to lidarr.

Not the loot I expected in c/baldurs_gate_3@lemmy.world

Oh that's tremendous, I don't run windows to see this. But come to think of it I have come across some ancient screens doing odbc/data connections ancient popups in excel at work!
