haywire

AI generated content is great and all but it drowns out everything else on there. Anyone can type a prompt and generate a great looking image with a couple of attempts these days it seems.

The people spending days, weeks, months and more on a piece can't keep up.

I've been using Firefox at home for as long as I can remember. I've not found anything I can't do with it yet.

If something doesn't work you can always try it in edge of something either way.

Joey refugee here. I was registered via vlemmy but that died too so I've been ousted from two things I like this week.

14 hours into writing the script that was going to save you from doing the task yourself and you can't quit now, too much time has been put into this endeavour.

I really don't see the point in them restricting the NSFW stuff. Some stuff will slip through, it'll lead to posts being made in ways to try and reach the most people and get around it.

Then there will be arguments and someone will say think of the children or something.

To be fair, they may have a rule about anything without the original plug/cord I know places near me do. Still a shame it ends up going to waste.

... and no one cared

I heard that. I was going to try it but then I thought nah. They are killing off Joey the app I liked using why would I want to stay?

Haven't b and n back since Joey stopped working.

Yup, killed the one reason I had to go in there apart from the Pokémon codes.

Merch is overpriced, they won't part-ex anymore. They closed stores and moved to crappy corners of sports direct and what not. It's dying. It'll be an online portal where kids send links to grandparents at Christmas soon.

I was expecting some exploit of the ancient underlying OS but that looked relatively simple.

The fact the exploit was able to infect config backups to persist is interesting too.

And since they are shutting down they won't be in touch at all

When it comes to WiFi Mac's mobile phones have fudged them for "privacy" for years, if this goes main stream I see the same thing coming in for Bluetooth.

They promise the macs are random but I don't have much faith in that.

Looking up a real Mac to see what manufacturer it came from is something I do almost daily sorting out network issues for customers and really is not difficult. From there it takes a leap to guess what the device is if it's name doesn't help but more often than not it's easy enough to see what's out there, the random macs of phones stick out like a sore thumb as they don't come back as anything usually so you can then track that around the network and see what they are up to that way.

I did until they killed joey today. Now I have no reason to go back.

It may be a stretch but Spyro, Tomb Raider and Portal may scratch that itch it thier own ways. Rad Rodgers is a side scroller 3D shooter and anything in the Contra style is going to be madness. The old Skylander games depending on the characters you used could be played as shooters I suppose.

I like that they list if the UK plug fits now, it was a guessing game with some of the cases

I got a Tefal microwave one, simple plastic pot that you put rice and water in. Then heat in the microwave and it changed rice for us forever.

RIP you butt

I've be n using Astro for ages. I tried a few and found them bloated and missing something. Astro has some extra bits I don't use but I never switched them on so it's not an issue. You can hide anything you don't use on the opening screen from the options too.

I always saw it as pretty scammy to start with

I acquire the MP3 of the song I want from where ever I can find it. Be that buying it, YouTube converter or elsewhere. Then copy it to the SD card on my phone to listen to. No ads, no data connection needed. I even bother to set the album covers and tags up so it is all searchable in the Oto app I use on my phone.
