I love that IMDB has the complete collection of Mr Roger's Neighborhood, but yeah, the episode numbering didn't match any release I could find.

That was a fun hour or so with bulk file renamer, or powershell. Can't remember how exactly I fixed it.

I promise we're good for it guys!

I'm absolutely amazed that Altman isn't considered toxic waste by now financially. He was declared untrustworthy by his own board, and as far as I'm aware OpenAI has fallen short of every known business agreement so far. They have so many deals contingent on shit they haven't delivered and can't deliver that it should make any risk analyst's head spin.

Looks like a cash-grab update to a 5 year old online game.

Gunshow (this comic) is a goldmine for reaction images.

What's your longest relationship?

People change, and you change, over the years. And over time life can throw a lot of shit your way. Love is easy when it's just dates in your free time, or if you're long distance and every visit is a little vacation. When every encounter is a special little event.

It's tougher over time. Stuff like crunch time at a job while an elderly family member's health is degrading and having to juggle both because you can't afford to tell your job to fuck off. Life stressors and busy schedules leaving no time for intimacy. Not being able to rely on your partner like you normally can because of the immense amount of shit they're juggling. Navigating past childhood trauma (even with therapy, it can still rear its ugly head).

Interests can change. Priorities can change. Things that may have seemed like cute quirks in the first year can become pet peeves over multiple.

I've been with my wife for over a decade now. We've both changed in a lot of ways, and it has taken effort to find time around everything else in life to ensure we have time for each other. Having a kid makes it that much more difficult.

We've had friction. We've had to work together to keep things working. Stuff like "I get your frustration and concern, those are completely valid. I'm going to work on that... That said, holy shit you CANNOT word it like that or bring it up to me like that unless you just want us to have a shouting match. That wording and approach signals a hell of a lot more to me than you seem to actually mean."

"Fighting" to make things work might be the wrong word, but it has at times been a lot of work. And I feel our relationship is stronger for it.

Ultimately, I'd rather have the depth of relationship where I build things with my partner and get deeply attached, than to keep things distanced enough that I could just cut and run when things got messy or difficult. That means that I've got to weather when things get rough too.

So far it's been worth it.

Just patch the Youtube Music app with Revanced Manager, or use NewPipe's background play feature.

I believe it was in preview build versions of Win 7 or 10 where researchers found it was sending the generated thumbnails of images on your PC to Redmond (MS HQ). Can't remember if they said it was for CSAM detection or just a debugging feature in the preview builds.

I haven't had that kind of stamina since I was 20.

Hit me up around 9pm so I can smoothly transistion from after sex cuddling and pillow talk to snoring in your ear and drooling on the pillow. Don't ever say I don't know how to treat a lady right.

I love the term terminated. Like did they fire him, or did they drag him out back and give him the ol' yeller?

The corporate lobbiests. Unless you're seriously arguing that swapping the Presidents from their era until now would have actually made a significant difference.

You aren't seriously arguing that, right?

The issue is that Linux shouldn't be making any attempts to handle this at all.

If the various governments are going to try and require this, they can make and maintain their own forks and accept all the responsibility and risk that entails. Or the businesses beholden to the laws can. We have no obligation to make this easier on them, and every reason to make it harder.

If various Linux (and Linux software/component) maintainers would hold the line, we'd be fine.

The godawful mess of what would come from all of these different groups scrambling to implement their own solutions would be the fucking point. The most effective way to manage upwards at people who don't understand or want to listen is to make them feel pain for their shitty decisions.

I think it's likely an API limitation. I've seen this in the Jerboa app (developed by lemmy's devs) and I believe also in the web ui.

Cruella expicitly tells her cronies to kill the puppies and skin them.

 

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.

 

Like traveling back in time via blunt force trauma to the head

 

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.
