As a biologist and fan of SciFi/speculative evolution, having it be AI is one issue, but the bigger problem to me is the lack of creativity. They’re literally just obvious mixups of two earth animals? Cmon, let’s have more imagination here!
I just tested with Gemini “Make an image of an alien creature that is a mix of a crustacean and squid, but with fur, climbing up a purple tree. there are lianas and vines falling down around it with orange flowers”
I will wait until GTA 6 has been out a few years lol. I have a long enough backlog already. Still haven’t started Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon Forbidden West, and about 30 other games I mean to play. Patient gaming is the best way
The CNC plug in is so useful! I also made my wedding save the dates in it and some figures for a scientific manuscript: worked great.
Honestly not sure. There are other such third party YouTube players, I’d suggest searching around for newpipe alternatives and I bet one of them will suit your needs
Newpipe?
I don’t think it’s a false alarm, in the sense that it is totally reasonable to be alarmed. They are cutting crucial stuff before they know what it is. There are a lot of things being cut where we’re only going to understand the impact years from now.
It’s messed up that there are still ways lead is used in this country. Ammunition, also, is a huge scourge on our environment, and sometimes people. I’m very sorry about your daughter having that problem.
In fact, the industry did sue and win a lawsuit in 1991 narrowing the range of asbestos compounds banned by the EPA. There have always been huge waves of resistance to every harmful compound banned by the government, from leaded gas to cigarettes to chlorofluorocarbons that harmed the ozone layer. The difference is that the present consolidation of wealth in the hands of a small group of billionaires, who control a consolidating group of media corporations, allows for unprecedented ability to control public opinion. Meanwhile, the amount of junk information floating around in social media, and failing public education, has disordered our systems of discourse. There is much more limited ability to vet quality sources of information, leaving people to worry more about fictional chemtrails than about the very real pesticides in their food
Yeah, I couldn’t get through it. Even as an audiobook read by Wil Wheaton

I used to use old phones (Nexus 6P, Galaxy Nexus, Moto X) as security cameras, stopped for exactly this reason. They all got really warm, even with the screen off, and I was uneasy about it. IIRC my Gnex removable battery started expanding a bit! That’s when I stopped using them for it.
I’m not sure how many ads on different sites are sketchy. I don’t feel like finding out, that’s why I block it. There have been plenty of reasons that all sorts of illegal stuff gets inserted on well-meaning sites, so it seems like it’s inviting all sorts of trouble to automatically click stuff without consideration.
Just curious- if ads are for something illegal, couldn’t this expose me to liability for theoretically “clicking” it from my IP/device? And if ads are for something unsavory ( like a “chat with local cougars” site or something similar), wouldn’t they start to deliver me more such ads, thinking, wow this IP is the only one clicking every sex chat ad, send them more!
This story is about domesticated honeybees, which have been declining for decades due to Colony Collapse Disorder and other stressors. Native North American bees are in their own long-term decline, with 1 in 4 species at risk of extinction. However, domesticated honeybees are tremendously important for the pollination and yield of many crops important to humans, and this population drop, thought to be the largest annual losses seen, should be considered in the context of the longer decline, and the possibility that we could hit a tipping point when pollination, and a crucial pillar of our food system, could fail.
I have set up the original Fallout (fully modded and running through Fallout 1n2), but it’s pretty hard to get into. Not because of the graphics, which are actually fine, but just because the mechanics are quite intricate and I think my ability to learn new gameplay mechanics is declining as I enter my mid-30s (I’ve only played Fallout starting with Fallout 3). I’m going to keep trying to get into it!
I didn’t attempt to import my onenote notes to Joplin, since they were old class notes and handwritten, which Joplin doesn’t handle that well yet (though they do have a new drawing capability). Googling around, it looked like there are some tools, and some that they’re actively working on https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/onenote-importer/37720/7
It’s a great open source note app! I’ve been using it a couple years and like it a lot
I loved OneNote as a student. It still is pretty unmatched if you want to take pen enabled notes IMO. I would download lecture slides and annotate them, also recording the prof. So I could highlight my annotations later and see what the professor said! Pretty slick and haven’t found anything comparable since. But I don’t need this kind of use case as much anymore and have moved to Joplin
