You should check out the end credits for “Ferris Buellers Day Off” and then the closing credits for “Deadpool.” 😆😆

ricecooker ,

Actually, no, but I’ll check them out though! The Tecmo Bowl artwork is really familiar; I’ve seen that image in ads

some more ideass:

  • Prigozhin was already dead when he was put on the airplane
  • Russians procured 10 more random dead bodies to throw on the airplane
  • completely fake story, Prigozhin is detained in prison somewhere

If ChatGPT gets erased and rescanned with new stuff, I can see different “flavors” popping up to replace it. For example: Conservative GPT, no content related to trans, evolution, or climate change. Vetted Wikipedia entries only.

I used it extensively to help me code my PHP for an art portfolio site. Briefly thought about using 11ty but needed to put something up quick after being laid off and I knew PHP.

For the most part it was good. It was really good at creating simple functions for me. My issue came when I asked it to build me a JS lightbox in Bootstrap. i wanted it to look a certain way so I had to edit my prompt multiple times because it would edit the code and “forget” my previous modification. Ended up using someone else’s JS code.

It was incredibly frustrating. It’s powerful, but still limited.

For real??? That’s garbage

It seemed like a cash grab from the trailer and yet you paid to see it in the movie theater, and helped it set a record, which is what this article is about.

I read somewhere else that no one expected this movie to do so well. This and the Taylor Swift Eras tour is killing it!!

Xbox Is Suspending Players Caught Using Emulators (gameranx.com)

For a good while, there was a bit of hype built around the Xbox Series S, in particular for the retro gaming scene. It was a cheaper device that offered a small form factor. Likewise, it allowed consumers to download emulators and enjoy various retro video games. But while this process was available, some consumers were...

Sure, there is a path to do that if you keep your Xbox off the internet. But then you lose multiplayer with friends, being able to download new games, etc.

JPEG XL: How It Started, How It’s Going (cloudinary.com)

JPEG XL development began in 2018, when the JPEG committee launched a call for proposals on next-generation image compression, to which seven proposals were submitted. Of the seven two stood out: Google’s PIK and Cloudinary’s FUIF proposal. The ingredients from both proposals were eventually combined and refined to design a...

With Google’s support for webp i wonder if they will reinstate support for jpg xl in Chrome…?

ricecooker ,

The first I heard of these devices was to help old people make the religious pilgrimage to a temple in the mountains of Japan. My skeptic self wondered about military applications and how it was going to get twisted right away

ricecooker ,

EXACTLY THIS. it’s a really good parrot and anybody who thinks they can fire all their human staff and replace with ChatGPT is in for a world of hurt.

What goes into writting books?

So what goes into writting a book, can anyone do it, ive been wanting to do many things for a while but i think sense i was a kid i wanted to write a book or even a short story or something that i can publish. the thing is i have major dylexia, i tend to not plan things and instead write on the spot, also i have partiall ideas....

ricecooker ,

Just do it! I would suggest just start writing. Editors and technology can help you cover some of your issues. What sort of books are we talking about? 200+ page nonfiction? IMO writing a book is an endeavor.

Find a platform somewhere and write short stories, whether it be your family and friends or somewhere on the Internet. Check out lemmy.world/c/writingprompts (even bigger on Reddit). Write blog posts. Write write write. Maybe exploring those partial ideas. Collect all your writing in one area so that you can look back at it and see progress.

UN warns against implanting AI chips in your brain because it could threaten your mental privacy (www.businessinsider.com)

UN warns against implanting AI chips in your brain because it could threaten your mental privacy::Officials from the United Nations warned that there needs to be a “common ethical framework at the international level” for neurotechnology.

It was so embarrassing watching the dinosaurs running the US government interview Zuck over privacy when they had no idea how Facebook as a business worked. We really need a tech task force that consists of people who are computer-literate.

I’ve always wondered how Mozilla / Firefox makes money? I see that its a non-profit. Looks like sponsored links and content on their new tab?

ricecooker ,

Yeah sorry, luck of the draw—be born into a family that has money. Else, make that money, retire early, and let your kids have a better life.

ricecooker ,

We’re still negative cash flow, due to ~50% drop in advertising revenue plus heavy debt load. Need to reach positive cash flow before we have the luxury of anything else.

And now Elon gets to play the same game that every other social network plays. Will be interesting to see how he reacts.

Google and Facebook were both built on ad-based internet. So…until privacy is respected, cookies go away, and more importantly, people did not buy things based on ads, yeah ad-based internet stands a chance. I did a quick search on how big the digital advertising market is and there are various numbers being reported m. I’ll give you the lowest one—$~200 billion

On-screen kissing doesn’t bother me, just don’t like the ones that seemed forced or are cheesy.

Racked my mind for good examples, and came up with Tobey Spider-Man kissing Mary Jane upside down in the rain and Jack and Rose’s first kiss on the deck of the Titanic.

I would donate money to a video game museum that housed a copy of every single game and console in existence.

The games and consoles are for looking at while there are playing stations with emulators to sample the games. The game art alone would make it worth it.

I always wanted to see a visual timeline of all game consoles lined up in a row to see evolution of design over the years. From disks to carts to cds.

ricecooker ,

Probably lack of marketing. It just is what it is. If you want to see what the latest is or , that’s probably on TikTok, Instagram, or Twitter…it’s easier for influencers to monetize their content.

ricecooker ,

I’ve watched and can recommend X-Files, Fringe, Warehouse 13, Eureka, Mrs. Smith, and Station Eleven.

These are some that people have recommended that seem interesting, but have not watched yet: Orphan Black, Killjoys, Humans, The 100, Dark Matter.

Jealousy is a huge motivator. Having to do something for a purpose is even better. What do you want to do? Because the endeavors you mentioned don’t happen overnight. When your sitting at your desk solving some problem that you didn’t even anticipate and you’re not even doing that thing you set out to do, it’s hard to stay motivated. So, what is it about those endeavors that you mentioned piques your interest?

Twitter is looking to sue Meta for "stealing trade secrets" amongst other things regarding Threads. Could/would they also take aim at Mastodon?

Given that threads is aping Mastodon, could they come after front ends here? Or is this just megacorp slap fighting/ an unexpected (but maybe predictable) outcome of the Twitter staff purges?

ricecooker ,

Went down on Twitter ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

ricecooker ,

So, anybody know Taylor Swift?

ricecooker OP ,

The RP2? Yea, I’ve been thinking about getting a RP3+ for the bigger screen and rounded edges, but not sure about the portability. I already love the Android experience on this device so I know it will carry over. Also considering the Flip but IMO, I don’t think it looks as cool as the RP3.

ricecooker OP ,

Those bosses can be annoying. Make sure to Charm their items before defeating them though 💰😭

I always wondered why those characters are named after musicians…

ricecooker OP ,

What did you think? One of my favorite games of all time. The pre-Lavos time-traveling side-quests are my favorite.

ricecooker OP ,

it’s a ROM hack…some people “improved” on the game. Yeah, very easy to run on PC or Steam Deck via emulation.

ricecooker OP ,

played the other versions; the only reason I played the game again was because someone mentioned this ROM hack. It was alright

ricecooker OP ,

I was thinking about playing this game at some point. What did not age well?

ricecooker OP ,

Well, the main character’s name is Crono, like the name of the game. The frog is named Frog. The robot is Robo. The rest you will have to memorize!
