The happiest thing about Steve Irwin’s demise is that he didn’t live long enough to see Margot Robbie’s extremely hairy armpits.

Something tells me you like horrors.

Is UE5 still being maintained? If not, I can imagine that it’s easier for the team to migrate to UE6 than to keep it UE5 running. Just trying to find a reasonable explanation.

ls and cat

Take a deep breath.

Neovim for any text editing including code, but this thread tempted me to try helix.

Companies are more likely to use Ubuntu instead of plain Debian or another Debian-based distro on their workstations. No one in this chain aims to bring snap packages to other distros and ensure that they work properly there.

You either pay or you don’t play. It’s not like console players have a choice.

I have figured out where my intense dislike of using AI comes from. My need for control/understanding stuff I create.

AI doesn’t take that away from you though. You don’t have to outsource your job to an LLM, but you can use it to supplement your skills. People choose how to use AI, and while it’s true that many take the easy path - that’s totally on them.

What games do you play?

I can’t say xbox series x disappointed me, but compared to playstation it felt meh - probably due to as unenthusiastic UI as a gaming console can get. I guess I was lucky with consoles if this is the biggest issue.

Well why would lemmy and reddit be any different? Same format, same people - just on a smaller scale. But it makes any drama more visible.

I guess this is inevitable given the open nature of the fedi. Still, it’d be better if admins were open about this as some people have broader ethical concerns, and they might not want to sponsor instances that use these money to pay for LLMs.

I understand that some form of automation is necessary - we saw large instances closing because they couldn’t find mods. My main objection in this scenario would be is that I didn’t consent to train OpenAI models. I think the users should know if their instance uses external services like that.

I also suspect that there might be cheaper and more ethical solutions. Although it’s hard to talk about this without seeing the actual results.

You can export your settings and subscriptions - then import them elsewhere. You’ll lose your post/comment history though.

This is one of the reasons why I don’t host other people’s data. I’d consider this option if there was another technical person among users with whom I could share workload and risks like a sudden death.

There are definitely die-hard fans of combustion engine cars, but realistically, the majority would gladly switch if electric cars were affordable and the infrastructure was in place. However, EU imposed tariffs on Chinese electric cars while local manufacturers failed to provide accessible options.

On the plus side, kids under 15 should be taught not to give their names, ages, locations, or any other personal data on the internet

Yeah, but this ban won’t achieve any of this, but it’ll undermine everyone’s privacy and security.

Social media fuck up people of all ages. These bans don’t fix the underlying problem.

Utrecht to start construction on largest cat-free neighborhood in the country next week

I was very confused when I read it.

It makes no sense for him to not consider the US because that would defeat the purpose of NATO.

The US has already breached articles 1 and 2, and made it clear they were ready to attack a NATO ally.

1. The Parties undertake, as set forth in the Charter of the United Nations, to settle any international dispute in which they may be involved by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security and justice are not endangered, and to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force in any manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations.
2. The Parties will contribute toward the further development of peaceful and friendly international relations by strengthening their free institutions, by bringing about a better understanding of the principles upon which these institutions are founded, and by promoting conditions of stability and well-being. They will seek to eliminate conflict in their international economic policies and will encourage economic collaboration between any or all of them.

So it makes a lot of sense to consider how NATO would defend itself not only against the US but also in their absence in case of a conflict.
