I guarantee he heard “supersonic” and thought, “Wow! That sounds really cool. We gotta get more of that.”

“Decoy Bride” looks like once of those cheap, filler movies that actors do between big roles, and it probably was, but David Tennant, Kelly MacDonald, and Alice Eve gave great performances, the jokes really hit, soundtrack was good, and the romance didn’t feel forced at all.

They think he’s a tech god because he has money to burn, knows how to make himself look smart, knows how to slave drive, and knows how to cut corners without pissing off the wrong people.

Hope the drift issue is fixed. Ran into the issue with two of mine. The paper under the joystick hack didn’t work and one of the brand new replacement joysticks I installed isn’t responsive. 🙄

I’d offer that deal and seal it with a trip over the Gulf of America where he’s mysteriously never seen again

I don’t hate advertisements on the whole but the sort of aggressive ways in which advertising is delivered. YT ads can be relevant to you based on data collected about you but it still really feels like an assault to interrupt or preempt a video with an ad that isn’t relevant to the video I’m about to watch.

The “sponsored content” parts of some videos don’t feel nearly as intrusive or out of place. They’re also easier to ignore. That’s really been the big change to the Internet in my mind. Ads have gotten more obnoxious, obvious, and harder to ignore. In newspapers or magazines we generally got used to the ads and could, for the most part, filter them out. Imagine a magazine where the actual articles were sealed behind the flap of an advert. We’d lose our shit, and that’s how it feels with the Internet for the most part.

It might be against YT ToS but he could have shorter versions on YT and say the full version is on PeerTube. Biggest issue rn is probably advertising. Most people wouldn’t think to look on PeerTube, if they know it exists, so nobody wants to post to PeerTube. The Reddit API fiasco was a boon to Lemmy so this could be as well, but steps need to be taken while outrage is fresh.

Can a non-EU citizen file? You may have mistaken me for someone with sane governance.

Glance says it will retain the biometric data used to create your digital avatar for 12 months from your last interaction with the service or until you manually delete your account. The company claims that your images won’t be used for any other purpose or shared with third parties without your consent.

Thousands of pictures of regular people’s faces, not just professional models, is valuable data. They’re definitely selling that shit or using it for their own AI training.

I do have concerns about this but it’s really all about the usage, not the AI itself. Would the AI version be the only version allowed? Would the summaries get created on the fly for every visitor? Would edits to an AI summary be allowed? Would this get applied to and alter existing summaries?

I’m totally fine with LLMs and AI as a stop-gap for missing info or a way to coach or critique a human-written summary, but generally I haven’t seen good results when AI is allowed to do its thing without a human reviewing or guiding the outputs.

Maybe it’s a result of Wikipedia trying to be more of an “online encyclopedia” vs a digital information hub or learning resource. I don’t think it’s a problem on its own but I do think there should be a simplified version of every article.

For me it really depends on the use-case. A lot of times I want persistence but don’t really care to access the data outside of the container. So rather than using the extra brainpower to make up folders myself and ensure paths don’t change I just let Docker handle those details for me. Also I use Podman a fair amount and it seems to be more troublesome when it comes to bind mounts.

I was on Ubuntu for years but the Snaps annoyed me and I was looking for alternatives so I went to Fedora (Bazzite). Couldn’t be happier. I installed Bluefin on my laptop (slightly different flavor) and that’s been nice too, although some things don’t work as seamlessly as I think it should.

I probably made a small mistake in setting that up but I tried making the dedicated “home movies” folder and it wouldn’t show my videos.

That’s part of the reason Teslas are not well-suited for this. One camera, each direction, with no other sensors to help make decisions, is a really bad way to ensure safety.

Humans normally have two “front facing cameras” (i.e. two eyes) so we have depth perception. We also process light differently than cameras do so infrared light (for one) doesn’t affect our decisions. We also have ears so the sound of a loud motorcycle engine tips us off if we just see a spec in the distance. We also use context clues to help our decisions, like if other drivers change lanes quickly we are extra observant of road obstacles.

Not that technology can never be as good as a human at driving, but we use a lot more than a single “moving picture” to decide what we should do.

And because we’re all represented by corpses they can’t be bothered to use AI tools to cross check the bullshit being thrown their way.

Only issues I’ve had with Jellyfin are reduced flexibility in naming/organizing files and inability (for me at least) to detect personal media.

I mainly use my Bazzite machine for gaming and it was rough at first (~1 year ago) but it seems like compatibility has made leaps and bounds recently. I don’t play a ton of different games but I’ve had to do very little tweaking to make them work. 90% have been install-and-play. Usually ProtonDB can help you work out the kinks.

I think at most of the disdain comes from the business side. Sure I can opt out of AI at home but at work I’m constantly getting asked how AI has helped my productivity and potentially “graded” on how much or how effectively I use it. Business doesn’t care about your personal fulfillment, just your productivity, and if they grind you into dust to where you no longer find any joy or motivation in your work they’ll get the next college graduate that’s already used AI for 80% of their assignments and wonder why quality has tanked, integrations are failing, security breaches are up, and energy costs have doubled.

A coworker that regularly uses AI code assistants asked me to review 78 brand new files he made. That really puts my back against the wall. Do I spend a day going through everything “the old way”? Do I ask AI to summarize each function to bridge the gap in knowledge? Do I ask it, file by file, if it sees any issues? Or do I just rubber stamp it because I should trust the million-dollar product my boss thinks I should use more than Google or official docs?

Controlling the Internet this way is brilliant from an authoritarian standpoint. To have a revolution you need motivation and communication. Can’t be motivated to change your government if you’re not informed and you can’t organize in great enough numbers if you can’t communicate. Take note America.
