Id be willing to bet the entire image is AI. Seems odd to only do those icons, when it’s arguably the easiest part to source of the entire image. Makes me question the validity of the numbers, especially now that I realize there don’t appear to be citations.

I work with a kid who I know listens to JRE often. He’s kind and very smart. What I’ve found is that he lacks confidence and prefers not to speak even when he thinks he has the right answer, for fear of being wrong. He’s depressed, and around this time last year checked himself into a hospital for a week. I know he recently started going to church, likely to try and find answers and support. He seems to mean well. All this to say, listeners of JRE may not be stupid or bad people. Some of them, a lot of them, I’d be willing the guess, are confused young men being brought to bad conclusions because they sound like answers and are wrapped with an “I’m just asking questions,” bow.

Lol I’ve got mine sitting in the basement, still equipped with the pandora’s battery and probably some wild theme if I ever get around to turning it back on.

Same. I also appreciate nzb360’s way of handling paid features, it feels novel in a sea of subscriptions.

If it’s okay to pirate for the sake of training AI, can I set up a model to train at a particular speed - say, 1 byte per hour 😈 asking for a friend obvi

I just spent a week trying to set up my own server and good lord it was such a battle I gave up. Matrix? Up in like half an hour. Shame because my friends are so much more interested in Revolt lmao. Just gonna give them some time to sort out their business before trying again.

I mainly use Cloudflare for buying domains and DNS settings. Are there better, more resilient alternatives? I am not savvy enough for a hyper custom setup. I think I’ve seen Porkbun mentioned. I’ve used name cheap before. I do pay for NextDNS - is that something that could fit into this? I don’t think so but maybe I’m underutilizing it.

That website is delightful.

Just nailed down my Octopi setup today after abandoning Nova and so far enjoying it. A handful of things feel unintuitive, but some of it may be habits from a decade plus using Nova. The reachable drawer, where you can have it at first only open about halfway, is awesome. The worst part has been the lack of comprehensive search (apps, files, web, all in one). Installed Sesame to cover that and it’s been fine.

Just had a baby. Had the privilege of using 5 days of PTO for my parental leave. Partner gets like 4 months, thankfully.

That’s what alt accounts are for right…right?

The one thing I REALLY enjoy about the start menu kind of doubling as a Bing search is I can type in unit conversions and it’ll do them then and there without busting out a calc or opening a web browser. All other cases are like this where it’s annoying nonsense.

I use Librewolf on my work and personal desktops, then Waterfox on my Android. I prefer Waterfox, but I find the logo so lame looking I settle for Librewolf. The OOTB settings for LW are super strict and a slog to deal with unless disabled. WF feels like using FF in just about every way.

One possible pro of working a labor job that I found is that you can pretty easily zone out for long stretches of time and think through complex things you’re doing outside of work. Depends on your interests and hobbies at home if you’re able to take advantage of it. Worked a boring factory job for a few years and would spend entire days daydreaming about whatever piece of media I was consuming at the time or prepping DnD in my head.

Seems like this might help with library management / metadata handling. Can anyone here vouch for it? Using jellyfin for my music library at the moment and I have found it’s music management to be lackluster. Tracks with features showing up as distinct artists seems to be it’s latest hurdle.

started switching and testing options last week. Librewolf’s default are awful, but undoing that has been better than having to look at the ugly Waterfox logo, in my opinion. If the logo is a non issue for you, WF had better default settings. I’m overly particular

Oh nooooo:

I’m sorry for being a good person and I love you too baby girl.

Interestingly, I don’t call my partner ‘baby girl’ lmao

Haha that trilogy might be my favorite of all time but I also TOTALLY get that take. I’m just a big fucking sucker for the second and third books as they get increasingly ridiculous.

Architect here. Many of us are cooked. Asking a generalized model to spit out something legible will certainly yield these kinds of results. However, much of architecture, like many other fields, is based on facts driven by codes and prescriptive values. Those can be learned and easily maintained over time. Tools like Finch, Hypar, TestFit, and many others are attempting to streamline so so much of the design process. They’re also removing a tremendous amount of tedium, sure, but in doing so they are preventing the next generation of designers from becoming masters of the craft. It’s pretty discouraging, because you either keep up with the times by using these tools aimed at eliminating your entire career field, or you can boycott them and lose out on work.

The closest I came to cracking this was buying a used treadmill, a steam deck, and some third party joycons that were a little more ergonomic. Play games while walking. Lost 20lbs playing BG3 and another 10 beating Hades. Then life happened and that routine fell apart. But it worked pretty well. Just need to get back into it. Obviously not feasible for many due to the initial expensive or space requirements.
