There are a lot of mods here, and I don’t think most of us ever volunteered, we were just early to the party. And considering the community is called “Fuck AI” you’re probably fine posting mildly offensive joke comments.

Boost. It was my preferred Reddit client back before spez Elon-ed Reddit, so when the Lemmy version released, I purchased it to thank the dev for putting in the work to support Lemmy. It made my move to Lemmy super smooth.

I also use Voyager on occasion.

As someone who has watched 6 of those videos in the screenshot from across 3 different channels, I apologize for my part in training the algorithm into thinking others who watch a single Balatro video might be interested in watching all the variety streamers play Balatro.

Yeah, the speed of the rock/bb in the cap will vary a lot depending on how far it depresses the valve stem core, and the tightness of the thread on the cap. Minutes seems absolutely unrealistic though; at the rate of the video you shared that’s probably a good 6-8 hours. I’m sure with some optimization (larger “rock” to press the valve in further and a maybe some cuts in the the thread to allow faster release of air), you could get that down to the hour or two range, but you’d also risk someone finding it easily as the noise of escaping air would be quite a bit louder.

I’ll admit I’ve mostly been mindlessly scrolling this thread to this point, so I’m not 100% sure what others have said, but removing the valve stem core will deflate a tire in seconds. You might want to unscrew slowly, to avoid the core launching across the parking lot as the air pressure behind it will likely send it flying, but once it’s removed a tire should be completely flat in 15 seconds or less.

This article seems more written from the perspective that AI is bad because it doesn’t work. And while I don’t know what kind of Photographer this was who had this happen to him - maybe he’s just a hobbyist - so I’m trying not to judge him too harshly.

But as someone who went to school for photography (technically cinematography but we still did all the photography classes the school offered), it bothers me that the art of even doing your own edits in photoshop is being replaced by lazy use of AI. Why give up control of your art, and turn it over to a guessing machine?

Anyway, probably just having an old-man yells at cloud moment, but real artists who use “professional” software like this don’t want the AI in there either. It’s not a tool I’d ever want to use.

Based on Wheel of Fortune also being 1 in 4, those are pretty good odds.

While I personally agree with your sentiment, and much prefer arch to debian for my own systems, there is one way where debian can be more stable. When projects release software with bugs I usually have to deal with those on Arch, even if someone else has already submitted the bug reports upstream and they are already being worked on. There are often periods of a couple of weeks where something is broken - usually nothing big enough to be more than a minor annoyance that I can work around. Admittedly, I could just stop doing updates when everything seems to be working, to stay in a more stable state, but debian is a bit more broadly and thoroughly tested. Although the downside is that when upstream bugs do slip through into debian, they tend to stay there longer than they do on arch. That said, most of those bugs wouldn’t get fixed as fast upstream if not for rolling distro users testing things and finding bugs before buggy releases get to non-rolling “stable” distros.

I’ve been using Syncthing-Fork (on F-Droid) for the extra features it has. I wonder if that developer will be able to continue.

I just hand them my debit card inside and tell them what I want. Usually with an apology that I haven’t filled out a deposit/withdrawal form. Most of the time the teller will say it’s fine and the same amount of work for them either way. I’m sure it depends on the bank or branch, and I personally try to avoid the bigger banks like Bank of America or Chase just because their fees are so much higher and I hear their service is worse, so that’s probably a factor as well.

I’ll be impressed when you that down to a subatomic size so you can fuck a solid block of steel because your penis fits in the space between the atoms.

Chromium is to the modern internet what Internet Explorer was in the mid 2000s. It’s not as stagnant (thankfully), but as far as market share and giving one oversized tech giant arguably too much power over the internet, we’ve basically come full circle.

I didn’t say it was the exact same, but to the victims the difference isn’t very meaningful, much like victims of murder and manslaughter are still dead whether we make a distinction or not. It’s meaningful for prosecution purposes - at least in the case if manslaughter and murder because it’s taking intent into account. It’s also a bit easier to accidentally kill someone than it is to accidentally have sex with a minor.

Probably one of those weirdos who knows the specific term for paedophiles who are into teens rather than younger children and tries to use it as if it’s a meaningful distinction.

I think it was an interview with Seth Meyers, but somewhere Heidi said she had seen them in costume, but Mikey’s lip prosthetic/makeup was much more extreme in the live performance than in rehearsal, and that was what caught her off guard and made her break.

Ratchet when Clank makes a bad pun.

I had a similar upbringing, but was also guided to go to a Christian University and it took me much longer than it should have to realize that what I was taught about Science and “Evolution” were lies, and how much of the evidence for Creation/Intelligent Design was dubious.

And yeah, with as beneficial as deprograming myself has been for my own personal growth, it’s not easy or fun - or how I expected to spend my 30s.

Not sure exactly how good this would work for your use case of all traffic, but I use autossh and ssh reverse tunneling to forward a few local ports/services from my local machine to my VPS, where I can then proxy those ports in nginx or apache on the VPS. It might take a bit of extra configuration to go this route, but it’s been reliable for years for me. Wireguard is probably the “newer, right way” to do what I’m doing, but personally I find using ssh tunnels a bit simpler to wrap my head around and manage.

Technically wireguard would have a touch less latency, but most of the latency will be due to the round trip distance between you and your VPS and the difference in protocols is comparatively negligible.

I figured you were being genuine, but there’s usually a few people who point at Microsoft’s “embracing” of Linux as the first step in the “embrace, extend, extinguish” trope, and see any involvement by Microsoft as nefarious. When the reality is just that Microsoft’s Azure cloud services are a much larger share of their annual revenue than Windows, and Linux is a major part of their cloud offerings.

If you browse the LKML (Linux Kernel Mailing List) for 5 minutes, you’ll probably see a bunch of microsoft.com email addresses, and it’s been that way for years. I understand why it bothers some people, but also Linus (and a couple others) approve everything that actually gets merged, whether it’s from a microsoft employee, or a redhat employee, or anyone else. Even if microsoft wanted to pay employees to submit patches that would hurt the kernel, the chance that they’d actually be approved is so low it wouldn’t be worth their time.
