They should switch their production line from exploding lithium ion batteries to regular lithium ion batteries.

He can’t, as he’s currently serving a life sentence for selling grannies.

Did you always not have one?

Hey! You’d better be talking about a BBQ because I was promised eating.

I hope they all turn out to be trans.

Didn’t China like hijack the future Dalai Lamas for political reasons or some shit?

Coverage, yes. But the result of that coverage? Making people not want to support climate activism, and maybe even have a negative reaction to anything climate positive. And how effective is that coverage in helping the climate? What changes in climate related policy can be traced back to any of these actions?

It’s true! I put a potato in my face hole and it comes out between my butt cheeks. A bit worse for wear but it doesn’t matter.

All my hominis are bonum vinum.

If the little brain in mah pants turns out to be a Russian I’ve got other things to worry about.

Last time (about a year ago) I looked into Misskey it was lacking some really basic features that even Misskey users were warning me about. Don’t remember what they were, but I think lacking hashtags was one of them? What’s the usability state of Misskey today?

Why do people keep saying that Snowden fled to Russia? Afaik he was on his way somewhere and had landed in Russia to get on a connecting flight when his passport was revoked, so he couldn’t leave whichever country he was in, which happened to be Russia.

Plopp ,

Instead, when a user posts something, the algorithm automatically reads the content and tags it with relevant interests so it shows up on those pages.

Motherfucker this is what hashtags are for.

Plopp ,

Of course it matters. Firefox will be blocked in Russia and could be considered illegal to use within Russia. Guess why Mozilla is doing what they’re doing here. It’s better for Russians to have access to Firefox than not, and if done right it could still allow for those censorship avoiding addons in some way, which is what we all want. If Firefox is blocked and illegal in Russia, the situation for those trying to avoid the censorship would be much worse.

Plopp ,

If it can help them get around the censorship, absolutely.

Plopp ,

Then we should be so harsh, there’s been a lot of inflation since then. I don’t even know what 80 mph 12 years ago is today.

Plopp ,

I’m also not gay.

IANAA but I’m guessing being extra careful not to get caught increases the chances of failure. Also, I just have a feeling there will be record number of forest fires throughout Europe this year, just completely randomly and unrelated to any of this of course.

One recent example is Samsung’s Bot Handy concept, which looks like a robot vacuum with a stalk on top and a single articulating arm

If they design the hand well and use good materials, and especially if it has a vacuum feature, I really wouldn’t mind a bot handy.

Are you sure that isn’t just ice cream and chocolate?

Escalator doofus with a fake crowd.

There’s a cheat button called sudo snapper rollback in OpenSUSE, it can be had in other distros as well.

Are intentions. I [carrot] to do some grocery shopping today.

Leaving consumer routers behind and going the pfSense route is among the best decisions I’ve ever made. Highly recommended for anyone who isn’t afraid to learn some network stuff.

Plopp ,

I’m running a Pentium G4560 and 8Gb of RAM in a dual NIC Shuttle case. The specs were a total gamble but I have a lot of headroom currently so if I need to do more advanced stuff in the future I can.

Plopp ,

I remember that anticipation fondly. 😁 I watched a bunch of videos on pfSense (Lawrence Systems on YT is great, but you probably know that already) and read a bunch of things, planning out what I wanted to do before I made the leap, and it was great!

Plopp ,

Yes sadly this means emergency services will no longer be able to take your call because they got rid of their phones. If you really want to talk you’ll have to book a Zoom appointment, so schedule your stabbings ahead of time.

Plopp ,

I pretty much blame touchscreens for the downfall of humanity. But I guess I’m not “normal”.

Plopp ,

Me too! Sadly I have 0 employees.

Plopp ,

GTA 4 had the best driving physics of all GTA games. And GTA 5 is pretty much on par with GTA 2. Just because children too young to play the game complained en masse about driving being “too difficult” in GTA 4. God dammit it’s a skill part of the game, you have to drive to get better at it. And when you do it’s super rewarding with all the different car physics, a reward that is nowhere to be found in GTA 5. Sadly I’m not expecting GTA 6 to be any better.

Plopp ,

I won’t be satisfied until GTA has BeamNG car physics.

Plopp ,

Nothing. As in procrastinate by doing basically nothing.

Someone not too long ago asked me how I motivate myself, and I was quite puzzled by the question, like “what do you mean motivate myself? That’s not how motivation works?”, because to me motivation has always come from external sources, like people, situations, experiences etc. But no, apparently some (many? most?) people can somehow motivate themselves. I’d like to have that power please.

Plopp ,

Of course, I do things because they’re fun to do. But those things don’t require any effort. When people talk about motivating yourself it’s usually about using the motivation as a tool to do things that take a lot of effort.

And then just sit silently and spin around and around on the chair for 15 minutes.

It’s kinda like this!

This Hacker Tool Extracts All the Data Collected by Windows’ New Recall AI (www.wired.com)

When Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed the new Windows AI tool that can answer questions about your web browsing and laptop use, he said one of the “magical” things about it was that the data doesn’t leave your laptop; the Windows Recall system takes screenshots of your activity every five seconds and saves them on the...

Workflow is big, but it isn’t the biggest issue with Gimp for serious work, the destructive editing is. Workflow you can get used to, destructive editing means you’re fucked if you need to edit something you’ve previously edited - something most if not all professionals do all the time.

Plopp ,

Totally agree. Gimp is really advanced and badass in many ways, but it’s like a nuclear reactor control panel’s worth of MS Paint. Hopefully the non destructive editing will change that. But yes like you said, Photoshop has the whole Adobe ecosystem, too. Hopefully things will change for the better with FOSS though, and I think it will. There should be a consortium formed of FOSS media software that aims to collectively work together to beat Adobe’s ass.

Plopp ,

Same. I want to love it, I really, really do, but it makes me want to blow my brains out when I use it.

Plopp ,

Destructive in that many edits are lossy. Change the transform of an object, then go do a bunch of other edits, and then go back and edit that same transform again. What you’ll be editing now is the edited image, not the original one (as in Photoshop), so there’s massive data loss and it looks absolute crap. If you want to edit with the original image as origin you have to undo all edits back to before you edited the transform the first time.

Non-destructive editing should be coming in the future, and they might have implemented some non-destructive things since I last used it.

Plopp ,

I tried to curve text once, to match the curvature of a mug. Pro tip: don’t even try.

Plopp ,

Layers aren’t edits, they’re layers. Edits you make to layers or parts of layers. That image whose transform was being edited in my previous example would be on its own layer.

Also, it’s been a while since I used Gimp so I’m going off of very vague memories that I have tried to erase with copious amounts of alcohol.

Plopp ,

You’re right, but you’re missing a key point. Every edit changes the way the image looks. With destructive editing those changes are “baked” into the object you’re changing, and that is data loss. If you want to make a change to that edit you want it to still have the information from the original image so it can be included and changed into the new result you want. Destructive editing doesn’t allow for that. It’s like if you bend a metal wire, you just crumple it up, and then you want to straighten it again - you won’t be able to get it perfectly straight. Non destructive editing does allow for that because it still has the original information, it just doesn’t display it in its original form, it displays it with the edit you’ve made to it, and the edit is “live” so you can change it. It has nothing to do with layers per se, but using layers can be a way to do certain edits in a non destructive way.

If you don’t grasp the difference just open Gimp and do the transform test. Paste an image into a new layer, change the transform and squish it to the extreme (non uniformly), make it a few pixels wide only. Apply the transform. Change the transform again and pull the image out to its original aspect ratio. You’ll have a blurry image because of all the data that was lost in the first edit. Non destructive editing has been like the most requested feature for Gimp for the past forever for a reason.

Plopp ,

That’s pretty much exactly what I meant with my comment. Not having proper computers at home because they’re replaced by smartphones.

Plopp ,

I respect that and I wish I could say the same. Sadly most of my hobbies and interests are computer based so I pretty much have to.
