Stopped using Reddit when the API disaster happened. Switched to Lemmy and stayed there for about 2 years. Now, I’m experimenting with Piefed.
Set the volume to 100 when people are talking. Quickly set it to 5 when there’s a anything else. You need to bounce between 5 and 100 all the time to make the movie tolerable.
What’s the deal with this sound design? If I keep the volume at 5, I’ll miss 90% of the dialogue. If I keep it at 100, the movie will shatter my ears, and then I’m permanently done with movies. What exactly are the sound engineers trying to achieve here? Why are movies designed to be so unwatchable?
That would be pretty spicy.
Star Wars sequel trilogy. Hollywood really needs to remake all of them. Interestingly, there are two viable options:
Machine learning in general is pretty awesome. It solves many problems behind the scenes, but even that side is overhyped.
We hoped it would solve hard problems, but it can’t. It solves boring problems. We hoped you could implement it easily, but it isn’t that straightforward either.
Generative AI for text, audio, images, and video is here, but the same problems persist. It doesn’t solve hard problems, no matter how hard we want it to. Also, implementation is harder than expected.
Then there’s the misuse of LLMs. Oh boy what a dumpster fire.
This simply means they’ve finally run out of money. If that doesn’t help, Apple or Microsoft will just end up buying OpenAI for pennies.
Enjoy the fireworks from a safe distance. I think the Low Earth Orbit is too close. Always wear protective goggles too. The flashes can be very bright.
Good catch! Fixed it now. I already knew I swipe too fast. Should spend more time reading before posting. 😆
They’re just backup copies hosted in the Galactic Museum. There’s no way a species that stupid would survive long enough to invent FTL travel. Just surviving the nuclear era was borderline miraculous.
The Internet as a whole isn’t the problem. Specific sites are. Steer clear from those sites, and you’ll be just fine. Take notice of which sites and services result in negative emotions, and find alternatives to those places.
All the popular sites will be on that list. Anything made by one of the big companies is permanently contaminated. If it involves Meta, Xitter, Reddit in any way, you’re better off without it. Also, many popular news are built on the idea of spreading fear and anxiety. Avoid those sites too.
What doesn’t kill you, will probably maim you for life. Although there is a slim chance it will make you stronger, but don’t count on it. Most likely, several internal organs will wither, and you’ll get very familiar with kidney dialysis treatment.
If you need a handful of plugins to make a site tolerable, there’s probably something terribly wrong with that place. We can keep on patching it with an ever growing list of plugins, but is it really worth it.
You’ll start by fighting crime, but eventually world ending disasters find their way to your doorstep and the future of the entire universe depends on you as you fight against cosmic horrors?
Wow. That list has cladus 61 times. So yeah, it really is system of grouping completely different from the Linnean taxonomic system. Well, there’s yet another rabbit hole for me to dive into.
And pigeons are flying rats.
Always remember, distrohopping is allowed. Your first distribution doesn’t have to stray with you forever. It can, but doesn’t have to. If you hear about a cool new distro, feel free to try it out.
Yeah, that’s biology, all right. 😃
Anyway, thanks for the explanation. Never heard of clade grouping before. Is it handy for dealing with long extinct species, or why does such a grouping even exist?
Ok, so what’s the deal with this clade thing? Why don’t we use that for classifying birds?
Then again, maximizing the number of inconsistent exceptions seem to be a running theme in biology, so I guess it’s on brand…
Non-biologist here. Is this a taxonomy thing? So, if it’s under /animalia/chordata/reptilia/dinosauria/, it’s in that dino box, right?
What about penguins then? According to Wikipedia, they’re under /animalia/chordata/aves/etc. I don’t see …/reptilia/dinosauria/ anywhere in that classification. Likewise, seagulls are under /animalia/chordata/aves/… etc. so nowhere near dinosauria. What am I missing here?
One option is to use a a dumpster browser for all the corpo trash that requires JavaScript. Just disable JS on all the good browsers and carry on as usual. If a site doesn’t work there, throw it into the dumpster.
I recall seeing a setting in VLC that adjusts volume automatically. Can’t remember wat it was called though.
