Original Fallout lead Tim Cain loves the new show, but remains baffled by how 'destructive' fans can act toward 'people who are trying to create things' (www.pcgamer.com)

Cain appreciated the performances and storytelling, but singled out how the show nailed the Fallout “vibe” as its biggest achievement. “I was just looking at all the props,” he said of one scene. “I realized after a few minutes went by that I had not followed the dialogue at all, because I was so engrossed by it...

T156,

i’m pretty sure the subtext of “woke” is “there are women and non-white people here”

Or that the women in it aren’t explicitly tailored to their tastes. There’s a post going around some places about someone trying to “correct” the image of one of the characters to make them less “woke” (they were wearing a baggy jumpsuit). The resulting character’s back-end looks like it’s been plastiform sealed.

T156,

Socrates complained that the invention of widespread writing would make people lazy and forgetful, because they’d just write everything down, rather than remembering it orally.

T156,

Not exactly, ChatGPT is OpenAI’s GPT interface. Whereas CoPilot is Microsoft’s, and has a bunch of plugins and tweaks to suit their uses. The underlying model is the same, but not the customisation.

Think of it like different flavours of Android. Samsung, Google, and Nothing all have their own spins, even if they all run Android under the hood.

T156,

Unclear, as I don’t work for Microsoft. But searching Bing isn’t part of the default GPT function set, that’s at least one proprietary one that they’ve specifically done up for their own uses.

T156,

They might not be. We’re already starting to run into the limits of silicon as it is, and I can’t imagine that we can keep pushing it for another 3 decades.

T156,

Also that housing is now an investment commodity, like stocks.

Why would anyone sell if they can just hold onto it and basically get free money, with maybe a bit of rent on the side?

Or just using it to store money safely in something that reliably appreciates.

T156,

The computer is inaccessible, and if you did that, the best way to fix it, while also avoiding any other potential issues stemming from that, is just to reinstall the thing.

T156,

The box what goes bang if you poke it wrong.

T156,

The good madam’s tummy timer is never wrong.

T156,

Can’t wait for some spiders to move in and take care of the buffet.

T156,

You might be able to. Microsoft kept the Windows 10 upgrade page for a good long while, so it might still be possible.

As Adobe is considering people using old versions of Photoshop as not having permission.

Realistically, as a non-solicitator, I can’t see them winning that argument. People paid for that version of Photoshop, and are using it. They’re not using it to sneak into some special upgrade programme.

It would be like Sony showing up to your house to confiscate all your CDs, because its old enough they decided that you no longer have permission to own the thing.

T156,

I’ve found it to be okay. The plugin system is nice, but the lack of local file sync on iOS is quite bothersome, since I use a self-hosted sync instead.

It basically makes the iOS app unusable for me, and it would be a deal breaker if Obsidian didn’t just use markdown documents you can edit with a text editor.

Admittedly, I migrated from Apple Notes and raw text documents, so there isn’t much by way of competition.

I have tried a bit of the others, like abusing LaTeX for it, which worked okay, but had a few flaws, like when linking other files, and Trillium, which is interesting, but also uses an SQL database (without mobile support, which didn’t work for me).

Turtl was interesting, but when I used it, very beta.

Evernote was okay, but also suffers from the proprietary format. I dropped them after they reduced the device support down to 2/3, so no idea what it’s like now.

Onenote was nice with the pen support (only Apple and Samsung notes otherwise have that, as far as I’m aware), but I found it to be quite heavy, and a little unwieldy (in addition to being proprietary).

Onenote also has a strange quirk where it will gradually accumulate copies, so big notes will cause it to grow over time until it starts eating up huge amounts of space on your computer.

T156,

I currently use BT Sync/Resilio, since it supports selective sync without fiddling with an ignorelist, but it does work, except on Obsidian’s iOS app, which supports only icloud, or Obsidian sync.

T156,

Interesting. I don’t use Samba, but a different app for syncing, and it’s much more of a headache.

Either Obsidian wants you to log into sync, or it helpfully makes a new vault on icloud.

There is not a third option, with their forums suggesting that they weren’t going to add one, due to iOS limitations.

T156,

Is the incorrect password just the default error?

It seems slightly confusing for Lemmy to show an incorrect password error for a disallowed email service.

T156, (edited )

You really just think we’re gonna follow the most extremely stupid path so your “guns r bad” rhetoric makes sense. FFS, have some respect for what you’re arguing against.

I mean, we are talking about arming the teaching staff with firearms, rather than having a trained guard who signed up for the task, or addressing the root problems. You’re asking them to either shoot their own students, or other students at the same school. This is not an expected outcome for someone who wants to go into education or stay there because they care for the kids, nor is it starting from a sane position to begin with.

Its a school, not a military barracks in a war zone.

T156,

Any attending authorities will surely not be confused by the situation, potentially worsening things through miscommunication.

T156,

Eyes as far as the eyes can see?

T156,

Or find all the flaws after the fact, and feel bad for not doing a perfect job.

T156,

We’re at the point of what?

T156, (edited )

Yes. Normally, the OS “fixes” this by making a second, bigger recovery partition, but that only works if you have the space for it.

T156,

Instructions unclear; rolled the jar into a jarball.

T156,

Especially after they got rid of the compact interface completely, which was a more stripped-down version of the old one, that didn’t have any of the CSS, or special effects.

The last workaround stopped working as of a few days ago.

Old Reddit may well be next on the block.

T156,

Slightly less obnoxious, but equally ineffective; vote with your hands, your eyes, your feet. Don’t let them steal your labor your attention your time your anything. You can be passive and hold a strike. You van be active and strike back. I think a mix of both would be a lot more effective than just one.

You can also strike without striking. There’s a huge fuss over “quiet quitting”/“work to rule”, where people are striking by only doing exactly what they’re paid for, rather than adding in the extra that has become the norm. They’re not adding extra hours or pulling extra duties.
