Peertube seems somewhat active. Dunno if that counts as social media.

Satanic Temple sweater?

No. I have about a thousand things I'd rather do than work.

Twist- it actually is a secret message, and this agent just broke cover to speak directly.

Yeah, I haven't kept up with the latest stuff. I imagine they will eventually solve it.

Thanks!

I'm not particularly enthusiastic about the show, but to compete with it, AI-generated stuff will need to fix the hallucination problem that current models have. They can't produce long form, coherent writing yet.

I'll check it out

Link to a store? I'd like one.

Jesus. I think all the code I've written in the last decade could fit in two of those binders lol

I don't like spiritualism in general, even the vague, science-y spiritualism that a lot of (edit: some) atheists tend to have. You can say anything that's true in a spiritual system as a flat fact about the world, without the mystical vibes.

To be fair, I used to work at a fast food place, and we sometimes had to chop extra legs apart. As in, the chicken had an extra leg on its leg.

Same

I have very few heroes. Mr Rogers is one of them.

I immediately check to see if I can maintain an erection after orgasm.

I've used Irish spring for ~15 years. Mainly because it's green lol

Cool, thanks

That is a gorgeous bike

That's interesting. I wonder how they deal with false positives? Conceivably, you could have an AI generate intermediate "partially complete" digital art and then argue that you have evidence that the finished work was created by hand with screenshots etc.

Correct answer is "Ok"

Mars, actually. There's nothing particularly interesting about it except that I've always wanted to be in the first wave of colonists to another planet, and Mars is a candidate.

Yeah, I know, but it's possible it could drive more users to the fediverse- for example, if they federate, then try to monetize their platform in such a way that users drift away to other instances to avoid ads or what-have-you.

I'm willing to see what it looks like, but I'd support defederation.

Seems reasonable.

My girlfriend and I are watching From, and enjoying it. We were/are worried that there's a lack of direction and they're just generating mysteries without any intention of solving them. The last few episodes revealed a few things, though, and I'm slightly more confident that they do have some sort of endgame.

A couple of people have asked for more info about my setup, so here's what I did. I'm on mobile, so forgive any typos:

1. I bought a refurbished Dell mini PC from some website or other - if you Google "refurbished Dell mini PC" it'll probably be the top result. It doesn't need to be fast or have too much memory, but I've got a 2TB hard disk in mine, which is surprisingly cheap. Also needs at least one HDMI port.

2. I installed Ubuntu 20.04, and made a single user with no password, then set it to boot straight to the desktop. Plugged it directly into the t.v. with an HDMI cable.

3. I bought a cheap wireless keyboard with a roller ball in it that (barely, need a better one) can be used from my couch.

4. Installed Jellyfin and set it to run as a background service on boot. It has two directories it cares about: ~/Videos/Film and ~/Videos/Television

5. Set up ssh so that I can use scp to push files from my personal laptop to the server without having to dick around with thumb drives etc. I also have a script that checks how much disk space is available on the media server so I don't run out (that 2TB drive fills up fast).

6. Got a NordVPN subscription and use Transmission on my personal laptop to download anything I want to see, push it to the server.

For a while, I also had an external domain name and IP so I could watch my videos on my phone while travelling, but I switched routers recently and something broke. I haven't set this back up, but there are services that will give you a static IP and route requests to your actual IP so you can have a static domain name without having to pay your ISP for a static IP.

EDIT: also, you can set commands to run at login, so it boots directly to Firefox running in kiosk mode on the Jellyfin web app. The end result is that on boot, I get the Ubuntu symbol, a brief flash of desktop, and then I'm browsing my media library full screen.

Didn't use one, but I can give help and advice if you want to dm me.

I didn't use one, just figured it out on my own. If you want to dm me, I can give you a little help and explain what I did.

Oh God. Prepare yourself for a confusing alien nightmare. The acting isn't so much bad as surreal.

I should probably thank Netflix for helping me save money. Their shenanigans pissed me off enough that I've entirely withdrawn from all paid streaming - I have a media server and a VPN now. Total media cost, $70 /year or ~$5.83 /month. For that, I have:

• Access to any movie or t.v. show any streaming service has ever provided
• No ads
• Shows/films don't get removed from from the platform without warning.

Yeah, fuck this. I want full access to all the capabilities of my vehicle. I'll keep maintaining my 2006 truck, thanks.

Man, those are absolutely fantastic. I don't suppose you sell them online somewhere?

That's a weird, and kinda creepy question anyway. Fuck em.

I've got a NordVPN subscription and use Transmission to download torrents.

If you find out, let me know

Damn. I like this one.

I've only played a bit, but so far the combat feels relatively boring, the story is good, and there's a spell crafting mechanic that seems promising but has yet to deliver.
