Why is this particular revision the one you've been waiting for, as compared to any of the previous DLSS implementations?

That's the only way I ever bathe!

What does logging in or not have to do with it? ~~No one said anything about referral links.~~ (edit: my bad, I'm doing this at ass o'clock many hours past I should be asleep) Your links literally have something referencing GPS in them that may be related to your own location when you made the search, which is potentially a danger to your own privacy.

It took 2 minutes to clean these, and that was only because I had to un-freeze the dedicated URL cleaning app on my phone (I use IronFox on mobile with settings/extensions to auto clean links, and similar on my PC). I spent more time typing up this response.

You could have even cleaned them manually by deleting the ? and everything after it. Alternatively there are a good handful of different open source tools for android that would have made it as easy as copy and paste. Hell, there are online tools too.

As a fellow IT person who has graduated to systems admin/engineering, just quiet down and edit your post please. Sometimes we fuck up too.

Depression a motherfucker

Modlog shows that OP's posts have been being removed for 7 months.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Peep the modlog. Tywele at least says it wasn't them and they want to be removed as a mod from that comm. Plus this user's posts have been being removed for 7 months and they just now noticed nearly a month after being banned.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

You absolute fucking troglodyte.

All modlogs on lemmy are public. Here's yours you absolute waste of air.

"Hey, do you know where I could find more information on hammers?"

"Yeah, look for all the idiots with broken windows because they decided they didn't like using keys! Hahuhaha"


It's quite fun to assume everyone but you is an idiot, but I am in fact aware of that xkcd, and more importantly the myriad benefits of blending in. That doesn't mean that having another potential tool wouldn't be useful in specific situations.

I enjoy keeping up with red team style covert infiltration tools and hearing about what actually works in the field for the professionals that do this shit for a living. This video is mostly a guy having fun showing off how much of his own company's stuff he can fit in a suit, but it gets the point across and touches a little on sureptitious use when he talks about his RFID cloner.

My specific interest in a group investigating this sort of thing was in the actual testing and investigation. To see if anyone had managed to actually test the "overwhelm them with IR" urban legend against any modern equipment, because the last serious test of it that I'm aware of was a decade ago, and the resulting "hat" was obvious as fuck like the hypothetical in the XKCD.

I've done a quick search and found a slightly more recent experiment done in 2018 attempting to fool facial recognition instead of just blinding it. Vice overview here, arxiv paper here.

The hat is still pretty damn conspicuous if you ask me:

But it's also 8 years old.

I'm curious on if modern camera equipment like FLOCK has just spent the extra few cents per 100 units for an IR filter, and if the massive strides forward with LED tech might allow for something less horrendously obvious.

I suspect that the most easy and covert method (if you don't care about adding property damage and the like to your rap sheet if caught) is still just to use a stupid high powered laser to burn out the camera sensor from outside the angle it covers.

Yeah, lemmy simply doesn't notify you when a mod takes action against your posts or comments, and it's not always clear in indicating what has been deleted or not to the user who posted it. It's a pretty frustrating issue with the software/system.

If the mod doesn't DM you, or make a comment on the post before they remove it, you won't be notified.

But the mod logs are time stamped based off when the action was taken. You can look through the code yourself, or I can share a screenshot of multiple mod actions over the course of a few hours against a single post that all have different time stamps (based off the time each action was taken) rather than all having a single timestamp of when the post was made.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago

Are we certain this is first offense? The mod logs screenshotted in a few places in this thread show removals over months.

OP insists that's because it's showing the date the posts were made, and not the timestamp of the mod action, but that's definitively not how the modlogs work. I can bring up some screenshots of mods taking multiple actions against a doxxing post to demonstrate if needed (long story, someone accused me of doxxing them because it happened while we were arguing and I took the time to break down the timeline of events to show it made no sense to be me).

You're responding to multiple people as if they are a single person. I don't think it's the multiple people asking you the same thing at the same time that are the problem here.

You can in fact, answer once and just link your other response if it's so damn frustrating.

 

Figured I'd toss up a quick whine thread.

Daughter skipped her nap and is peak obstinant today. Having to "trick" her into following the schedule.

"I don't want bath! I want read book!"

We'll read some books in bed after your bath sweetie.

"Noooooooo!"

Well I'm gonna get a bath, see you later.

"No! No I want baaaaath!"

Just max threenager today.

If you like video game music, you already know this one. But this cover using real instruments is one of the best I've heard of this composition.

Man, I am so overdue for a CT replay. Just have to choose between my copy for DS or the "Plus" romhack.

 

The band has been described as doing metal/fuzz/stoner rock. This is from their album Black Hole Space Wizard Part 2. Part 1 and 2 make a complete story.

Humans escaping from a dying earth about to be devoured by the titular wizard, ship crashes with only one survivor. This track is the survivor trekking across a desert.

Will probably post a couple more from them.

 

Dankpods used 12 computers with different hardware to test the performance of 5 games in 1080p and 4K, comparing the average fps results of the games' built in benchmarks to determine which OS ran the game better across the same hardware: Windows or Bazzite.

Some notes on methodolgy under this spoiler

Each game uses the same in game graphics settings in Windows and in Linux. The Linux distro used was Bazzite, using the version specific for the graphics card hardware fpr each individual machine. To be clear, this means that he installed the Bazzite version for (legacy) nVidia as appropriate.

Each bazzite install was fresh, no copying installs or swapping around a drive with it pre-installed. After install, it was updated using system update and rebooted, repeated until no updates remained.

Screenshots of some of Dankpods's comments to this effect:

There are many comments under the youtube video pointing out that in many of the Linux runs, it was not actually using the correct driver, comments about the experience using other distros, and comments about various potential fixes and workarounds.

This misses the point. Dankpods intentionally tested this way, and used Bazzite, to try and show what this would be like for the average gamer schmuck without a ton of technical skill interested in switching to Linux. Out of box experience matters in this situation, even though it's not quite fair to compare that between free opens source distros and an OS created by a megacorp. To the average end user, it won't matter. They just want it to work.

Prepare to be upset. With this particular testing methodology, Linux doesn't really win overall.

I'm interested to hear the community's thoughts on this.

 

An absolute classic youtubepoop. Can't believe it's 17 years old.

Just about any line from this activates me like a sleeper agent. This is going to be stuck in my head for a month, at least.

Check the new pinned post in .ml's meme community. Here's the post itself:

There's so much goofiness to unpack here.


And a bonus, this small comment thread. We're totally not a marxist instance guys but we totally are a marxist instance guys and it's such a good thing:


I can't mentally square how someone could claim their instance is general use, run a general meme community, and also openly state the community purpose is to further specific ideology. Wow.

Nothing against surfacing lesser heard voices, but that's not the place for a generic meme comm (go make a leftymemes equivalent or something), and we all know that isn't what's really going on here.

 

Someone gifted this to my wife and I after our successful IVF. Still haven't put our photos in it, and everytime I see it I giggle.

Miracle Love Baby sounds like some magical girl anime shit.
