My guess is that there was some guidance in the prompt for the names since a lot of them are similar.

It’s very common for forums to have rules against posting in a thread that hasn’t seen any activity for an arbitrary amount of time. When you do that, you will often cause a thread that has fallen from the front page to bump back to the top of the front page. It’s not clear why this is a problem, though. Maybe regulars just dislike seeing old topics brought back up?

I hope Nintendo is able to make emulation illegal once and for all and end all this. People really shouldn’t be allowed to run whatever software they want, they should only be allowed to run Microsoft Windows and the fun games they include on the bonus disc

It’s bad. Pointing this out embarasses people who enjoy it though. (People who can probably barely read.)

What? No, he isn’t. These interviews always suck.

EDIT: It’s so funny that 19 people got angry at this. Hey, try working on language! Try watching Peppa Pig or something! You’ll develop into a functional adult soon I’m sure. GET A LIFE!!! 😠😠😠😠😠

I’m a good enough software engineer that this isn’t true. I bet I get paid a lot more than you. 😎

On my instance, I follow most of the biggest communities with a “seed account” to fill out the “all” feed. This seems to work pretty well.

Did they transfer ownership of the code to Nintendo? If so, it might be a violation of Nintendo’s copyright on Yuzu itself.

To everyone who downvoted this: You are of low relative quality. Friggen jerks! I dress better than you! GET A LIFE! 😡😡😡😡😡

“In case this is a real question?”

Anyway, I just read through the settlement and I didn’t see any explicit transfer of ownership of he code in there. I’m not a lawyer though, there are some things in there I may not understand the implications of.

Don’t worry about it, the angry edit was meant to be humorous- in general I agree that it’s a mistake to let downvotes upset you.

(And because I’m the admin of my own instance, the votes are made visible through the UI. So if I wanted to be a vindictive weirdo about it, I could… 😉)

There is already nobody watching. That’s probably why they did this to begin with.

I think in threads where an obviously well-informed computer user asks a question about how to accomplish something or troubleshoot something in Windows, it’s pretty much never helpful to recommend using Linux instead. They probably know about Linux. They either must, or want to use Windows. It’s a pretty common occurrence, however.

Though these days, you might get to recommend Linux anyway by saying “you should use wsl2.”

It definitely has many compromises and I wouldn’t use it for hosting something in production or something like that. (Is that something people do?) It is situationally very useful though, usually for things I used to spin up a VM for. I’m happy to have it available as a tool when I need to use Windows.

Elon Musk is a brilliant inventor nonpareil. He invented tunnels, rockets, electric cars, and now Twitter.

It’s pricey, but I haven’t regretted it. I was in the second batch of deliveries for the 16.

Disable tracking on Chevy Bolt 2019 (sh.itjust.works)

OnStar reports location and speed data to the car manufacturer. Sometimes they will sell this data to insurance companies to raise your premium, as several news stores pointed out a few weeks ago. I couldn’t really find an advantage to OnStar, (I have my phone to call emergency services) so I disabled it by pulling it’s...

bilb,
@bilb@lem.monster avatar

I got a 2023 Bolt EUV a few months ago and I love it. (I wanted the EV but I couldn’t find any.)

I’m curious if disabling the OnStar stuff is as “simple” as it is in the 2019 models.

It’s not quite as good as reddit was for me when reddit was good.

My hope/expectation is that for lemmy (and the wider “threadiverse,” e.g. kbin) the best days are still to come.

I try to do an “end-run” around federation drama by using my own instance, especially since I prefer to be as openly federated as possible. This is not without drawbacks, but it’s really not bad.

My fear is that one day the biggest instances will switch from using block lists to instead only federate with an allow-list. That would basically make this use non-viable.

Rotating banners on /r/piracy (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hey mates, recently I’ve developed a tool to use the GenerativeAI on the AI Horde to created random avatars and banners on lemmy. To keep things spicy, I wanted to deploy to rotate the /c/piracy banner daily, as I’ve done in a bunch of other communities like !stable_diffusion_art and the lemmy.dbzer0.com....

@bilb@lem.monster avatar

Exactly, you never intended to commission an artist because you think so-called “AI art” is good enough to replace them.

Weird argument to make on a piracy sub, honestly. The existence of an AI generated image does not imply that a somewhere an artist lost a commission. Nobody was replaced. It’s not a choice between AI art and commissioned art, it’s a choice between AI generated images and nothing at all because that was the point of his project.

Whether we find it tasteful or interesting is another topic.

“Instead of working on that project that you were enjoying working on in your spare time, why not do this completely different other thing?”

That’s not reasonable.

Did you ever learn more about this? I can take a stab at it later.

Yeah, I’ve done it before with my desktop with NVIDIA graphics. ROCm support would be new to me.
