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.

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.

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

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

When the compiler is being more helpful than you realize.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Industry is like a triangle and if you move towards one corner you have to move away from another:

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?

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.

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

This is better than the original.

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.

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?

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

I have a similar ruleset regarding ratio but mentally I think about time spent seeding. Active torrents I can reach well over my minimum 2.0 ratio by leaving it seeding overnight. Meanwhile, I had a torrent one time for open source software that was very active but had a very large proportion of leechers to seeders. I left it seeding for several months uploading several terabytes in the process. My seed ratio was in the several hundreds but I was happy to take keep the CDN costs off the site.

The butterfly from The Last Unicorn told us this.

So much for protecting the minor's identity.

One of the proposed methods for terraforming Mars is to lob a bunch of icy rocks at it. That would increase its mass but more significantly also the energy of the falling rocks would convert to heat and melt the ice into water. So enough energy to increase Earth's size would also heat the surface and kill life.
