This is what happens when you patent software, folks. You die. Let this be a lesson.

Think about it though. When people say they want to "code AI" what they typically mean is they want to play with prompts and waste electricity on garbage models, not actually write any of the underlying models that power AI.

It's about the journey not the destination.

TLDR sunlight hits the carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere and splits it into carbon-monoxide and oxygen then on the night side it recombines.

Have you tried Immich? It has a very similar feel to Google Photos but with the advantage of owning your storage.

Him being naked is completely unnecessary but enhances everything.

But it's Linus so everybody likes to think everything he says is blunt and crass.

It's all good just make sure you have an up-to-date ublock-based extension: https://reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/17j6ygs/youtube_antiadblock_and_ads_october_29_2023_mega/

As of writing this Adblock Plus isn't working with Youtube but no reason you should be using that over ublock origin anyways.

And the site's dark mode is fantastic...

Threads integrating with Mastodon is bad news. Flipboard integrating with Mastodon? Interesting I guess? Hampers Meta's 4E strategy I suppose.

Gotta love the heavy use of buzzword technologies and no actual information on what is actual is. Then you click the "How does it work?" button and it takes you to a Google powerpoint... so much for the sleek website design.

problem is the late stages of the game the password requirements change when your password's emojis start catching fire.

I couldn't tell you. It's our internal systems after all.

Do you have evidence of that? That's not what I saw: https://www.gimp.org/docs/userfaq.html#i-dont-like-the-name-gimp-will-you-change-it

I don’t like the name GIMP. Will you change it?

With all due respect, no. We’ve been using the name GIMP for more than 20 years and it’s widely known. The name was originally (and remains) an acronym; although the word “gimp” can be used offensively in some cultures, that is not our intent. On top of that, we feel that in the long run, sterilization of language will do more harm than good. GIMP has been quite popular for a long time in search engine results compared to the use of the word “gimp”. So we think we are on the right track to make a positive change and make “gimp” something people actually feel good about. Especially if we add all the features we’ve been meaning to implement and fix the user interface. Finally, if you still have strong feelings about the name “GIMP”, you should feel free to promote the use of the long form GNU Image Manipulation Program or exercise your software freedom to fork and rebrand GIMP.

You can set bash or zsh to case-insensitive tab completion as well.

When the compiler is being more helpful than you realize.

If you want to make a shade without choking life to death how about a big parasol in space? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_sunshade

There are humans that have born with tails (long coccyx protrusion) and this is correct. Go look up images.

I use Fennec/Firefox with the ublock plugin. How does that compare with cromite?

I think it's saying you start with owo but then do the vertical equivalent of that emoji which would be :3 then 13 I guess is the eyes are closed? That's the best I got.

I don't mean to Dicio but that was a bad pun.

Asked later that week to add a feature to the code, have to rewrite it all from scratch because it's spaghetti.

For some reason I first read the title as "journalists take to archiving their own hands" and thought this was some morbid kind of protest.

This is more of a NoStupidQuestions post than a shower thought.

diarrhea of the mouth but for the anus... so diarrhea?

While I find it annoying that I can't rename files and think that could have easily been avoided in the original bittorrent design, it's not too inconvenient to just copy the files and leave the originals in a "seed" folder.

Why stop at a tag-based file manager? Why not a tag-based filesystem?

What is it you need that a centralized version control system offers that a distributed version control system doesn't? For instance you could use git or pijul for a monorepo.

I ran Nextcloud for image hosting and loading images, even from the same network, performance is atrocious. It takes several minutes to play back an HD shot video clip. I've hosted it via snap, a docker image, and directly on the OS with similar results. Even worse, the server can easily go down if a plugin acts up or a Nextcloud update can take down the database. This was my experience at least which spurred me to look for alternatives like OP.

NixOS stores a snapshot of your OS and all the app configs in an OS config folder for you. Helpful for instant system recovery or deploying the setup to new hardware.

Most people here (who didn't grow up in the US 50+ years ago) wouldn't give negative connotations to the software's name. I'm on the side that it is well divorced of an ableist meaning but that's where the disagreement lies and some people are making a big fuss over.

Should we stop using words like taser and amok as well for having historically racist associations despite being divorces of those meaning? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Swift_and_His_Electric_Rifle

Our language is littered with more "land mines" that we realize if we want to make land mines out of them.

If you tenderize the meat before you eat it you shouldn't have to tenderize it after it comes back out.

Finally an actual r/showerthought style post and not a Lemmy meta post or TIL.

On Windows, nothing beats foobar for playback, tagging, and conversion support. I use Deadbeef which is like the Foobar of Linux. It has a similar user interface and a playlist format conversion tool as well. VLC also converted audio if I remember correctly?
