At a similar pay scale, I’ve been required to go into homes where folks had COVID. Coworkers have been shot at. I’ve seen things I really would have preferred not to. No job is perfectly sane in that sense.

American? Because this is not normal up here in Canada.

Hmm, I guess I'm wrong but I always felt they were called boomer shooters because they're always full of over the top explosions and everything is always going "boom"

You boom and you shoot it's right in the name

Get rid of periods, it just seems unfair.

Afaik they did build it in real life, and the paper in fact is about the process for manufacturing it, not just about the properties or simulations.

People have replicated the simulations so far, but are still working on replicating the manufacturing process, as it has low yeild and some variability apparently

You could have an "about this website" section that lists the tools and packages you used, and so on. If I saw that on a candidates website (a little section detailing how the page was made and crediting sources) I'd be insanely impressed. That's the kind of person you know you can work alongside.

Creepy story! Do you still have the recording?!

Lol apparently having AC in your car is a privilege and not a basic feature... It's 2023 and it's just getting hotter, I want AC sorry

FWIW the Canadian supreme court made piracy laws unenforceable on purpose, so you also don't need a VPN in Canada.

You got a title for that one? Sounds like something I'd enjoy

While I agree it sucks remember it's not over til it's over! They want us to feel despair, it helps their plans the less we resist.

I'd like to second what Veraxus said. I have a steam deck and the ease of use factors are off the chart. At this point my gaming PC sits nearly entirely unused, I do everything on my steam deck, even playing Caves of Qud lol

I have heard that the newer strains don't show up on the tests, depending on the test. I got it recently, tested negative but it was my second time so I could recognize it and be fairly certain.

I switched to ProtonMail and have really enjoyed it. I was using my own domain with Gmail so my email address didn't even change.

but you can do that... eg. check out my profile and you should see my bio just fine

Honestly I prefer it, once you get used to it and maybe tweak one or two things to your preference, it just feels super natural and smooth.

Maybe (or at least an albecuire drive)

Maybe

Probably not

Also some more "basic" things like cheap MRI without requiring helium (which we are running out of), cheap and easy magnetic levitation (more available high-speed trains)

Interesting I hadn't seen that. Do you have a source I could check out? There's six authors so it'd help figure out what you're referring to

Corruption here (Canada) still happens federally and especially at the provincial level (like Doug Ford, which has many blatant examples and faces no consequences). Municipally (county level) I have not noticed as much, and my municipality seems to have a great local government that functions well... I've even spoken up and had a small issue resolved with little effort.

However I think you'll find if that kinda stuff grinds your gears you'll still have a better time in Canada than the US, despite the problems (and we do have problems).

If AI gets to the point where it can truly replicate anything, even so it won't be the end of human creativity, so I expect humans will still be making new things and new forms of art.

Hey ernest, quick question about federation. I setup /m/genart, and I set the tags to follow (eg. GenerativeArt). On my mastodon account I can see many more posts tagged with GenerativeArt than what shows up in the microblog. Is this expected? and how can I improve it? I'm currently working through following the same accounts as my old masto account.

re: feature requests -> #1 thing I'd love to see is the ability to migrate accounts, so I can port my followers from my old masto account to my new kbin account :))

Anyway, I know you're busy af, so I'm not expecting a response. No pressure. Love the site and thanks for all your hard work!

Thanks lol I struggled with how to format this link

I'm about to do a second playthrough of Disco Elysium, and this time I think I won't try to redeem the MC... I will try to beat it as an alcoholic brawler with a good heart who can't stop analyzing people.

But it's taking all my willpower not to do Inland Empire again 😅

Spot on! Actually people still talk about hands but it's already been solved with many newer image gen models... The hands they produce look perfectly fine usually these days.

Yeah artificial gravity I was thinking more along the lines of faking it via magnetism.

Albecuire drive I was just wrong about, you're right it's not a maybe it's a nearly 100% no lol.

Sorry just excited.

Only saying this for general informational purposes, but if you want to be able to follow Lemmy and Mastodon content and post either, kbin supports that out of the box (masto style content is called "microblogs")

The data that will be the same everywhere is basically everything that is described according to the ActivityPub protocol.

Everything else can be calculated and displayed by the server or frontend, so that's where most of the differences arise.

In this case, we likely won't see it on kbin, unless whatever app or frontend we're using implements it. Someone also may create a plugin or add-on you can install on your browser to add it as a feature.

Unless it's like a super minimalist web 1.0 vibe, like basically almost pure html barebones text.

It wasn't too long ago they were just an ordinary seaman 😌

I did and I reallllly enjoyed it :)))

As an Ontarian I also gotta say the bit about the premiers is also spot on.

Check out the Aurora Appstore, it's an anonymous mirror of the okay store and even manages updates for you. You can install anything free from the play store without a Google account or play services

https://kbin.social/m/genart -> it's a community for sharing and discussing generative art!

Kbin.social wasn't defederated actually, only those two Lemmy instances

So I tdoesnt effect us (on kbin)

All of these have very real physical effects, and human life cannot exist without them.

Thanks for the review I gotta check this out!!

I don't want to spoil anything, but the final (true final) boss for Titan Soul really blew me away. I was so dialed and so stressed and somehow came through on top, I felt like a god.

Or it keeps doubling even well after its surpassed the human population, and we all have to keep hitting "pass" in turns forever, and if even a single person gives up then boom.

Interested in generative art? (Meaning art created computationally, not really AI art but art created using code)

If so all are welcome to join our feldgling niche community at kbin.social/m/genart

Yeah I don't see any issue with having conversations with each other even if the beehaw folks never see it
