evranch,

He just said “hairy ass”, well after hearing that I hope it’s “he” anyways for his own sake

evranch,

The difference is that shrimp are delicious? Last time you got a bug in your mouth what was your instinctive response?

The great reset is bogus but there’s definitely a “conspiracy” to get us to eat bugs… A boring, capitalist conspiracy. Just the next step in the race to the bottom, another cheap and low quality food that the unwashed masses can afford to keep them alive and trudging off to work.

I will eat bugs when I see the billionaires have them on their plates.

I bet I know what sort of socks you wear

evranch,

Out on Fdroid now and working

evranch,

Refresh your repos, I literally just downloaded and installed it

evranch,

Oops my apologies, lol I checked and I must have installed the upstream NewPipe repo so long ago that I forgot that I even had it in my sources list. Literally my only repo other than Fdroid main.

No reason not to use it, though, it’s the official NewPipe repo:

Instagram Advertises Nonconsensual AI Nude Apps (www.404media.co)

Instagram is profiting from several ads that invite people to create nonconsensual nude images with AI image generation apps, once again showing that some of the most harmful applications of AI tools are not hidden on the dark corners of the internet, but are actively promoted to users by social media companies unable or...

evranch,

My interest in this topic just went from 0 to 10 upon realizing the humour potential of passing it around to see all my bros with huge tits, but only if it worked like a Snapchat filter.

Also I have a friend who already has huge tits, and I’ve seen them IRL so I’m curious what it would do

evranch,

I’m familiar with how ML works so it’s not magic to me either, but the actual result is what would intrigue me. Since she has big naturals obviously they hang pretty heavy when they’re set free.

But if I fed it a picture of her wearing a tight push-up bra, which could easily give off the impression that she had implants, would I get a pair of bolt-ons back? Or would it be able to pick up on the signs of real tits and add some sag?

Seeing how it’ll put tits on men it’s obviously not an exact science lol

evranch,

They’ve been claiming things like rice cookers had AI for decades, so at least this isn’t part of the current AI hype.

evranch,

Never used Caddy, but if you’re running a variety of services Traefik also is pretty easy to deploy, especially if you’re using Docker containers. You can set it up to use let’s encrypt fairly easily to handle all the SSL stuff.

evranch,

Only if I’m truly in the middle of something that’s time or focus critical. Otherwise I’m always glad to hear from my friends.

I have a FWB who I text with 99% of the time but awhile ago she texts “Can I call you? I really need someone to talk to.” Of course! It was a joy to talk to her, she lives in the city, I’m out on the farm. Told her she should call more often.

Like the other comment I despise voicemails though. If I don’t pick up, text me. That’s even my voicemail message now… And still people leave voicemails 🤬

evranch,

I played 3 and NV on 360, both games were badly marred by being as much loading zone as they were game. Ruined the experience of snooping around for loot and side quests as opening a door back into the wasteland could take minutes. I had to stick to mostly the main quest.

4 was a far better “game” for being played on PC, but I agree NV plot was great. I just didn’t want to replay and get the different endings, as the game itself was painful to play.

I should replay them on PC someday, especially if there are graphical update mods available.

evranch,

For example: Star Wars OT has been released so many times with different cuts that there are fan edits that pull scenes from all of them and discard the trash ones to make a superior movie.

These are now recommended by fans as canon for new viewers, instead of any particular Lucas release.

evranch,

As well as the Despecialized Editions, there’s the Custom Special Editions

ifdb.fanedit.org/star-wars-episode-iv-a-new-hope-…

Which blend Despecialized and SE for the classic film with improved graphics and remastered colour, with bad CGI and added scenes removed. However some added scenes that fit the original narrative are retained for context.

To be fair proper integration of an aftermarket VoIP app requires almost every permission a phone has, especially if the app wants to mirror your caller ID, and supports SMS and attaching various media.

Japanese indie dev tells randoms begging for keys and offering exposure to 'buy it, you piece of garbage' (www.pcgamer.com)

In a recent FAQ spotted by Automaton, Housenka responded to a hypothetical of “I’ll promote you, give me a Steam key” with a delightfully blunt: “Buy it, you piece of garbage.” Or, as Automaton translates it from the original Japanese, “Buy the game, you piece of sh*t.” I can’t decide which I like better,...

evranch,

but I couldn’t think of a better image to use

kind of sums up the problem our society is struggling with. Chad is perfect here. Why should you try to think of a better image to use?

We need to rationalize that humans like this sort of thing, and also that they shouldn’t demand it of others.

Is it laughable to demand game characters always be hot? Yes

Do people appreciate fan service characters? Also yes

Humans have been sexualizing everything forever, it’s in our nature. But we need to stop being so damn creepy about it.

evranch,

Obviously? Like, this is how war and geopolitics has worked since the invention of the pointy stick.

Whether you like them or not, Israel is an ally and Iran is a self-proclaimed enemy of the Western world.

An enemy jumps in on a war and bombs one of our allies, you expect no reaction? Duh

evranch,

Another idealist who has mixed up “allies” with “friends”. We don’t need to approve of anything our allies do, or even think that they’re good guys. All that “allies” means is that they would have our back, just like we have theirs, against our common enemies.

This is because “enemies” in this case refers to nations like Iran, who hate our entire way of life and aren’t afraid to say they would like to see us all dead. It doesn’t matter to them if you think your government represents you (I certainly don’t) but if you believe we deserve to die, why not offer yourself up?

You might get lucky and get thrown off a building, or a fairly quick beheading with a dull-ish knife. Or less lucky, and get roasted alive in a cage over a fire, dragged behind a vehicle, or hacked into various pieces.

“We” are allies with Israel only because they are a shining light of sanity in a region that could otherwise be classified as “batshit insane”

evranch,

Leaked over into Canada now, trying to scrape up more pills now after months of docs and pharmacists almost aggressively claiming “there is no problem” when I expressed concern that filling my prescription on the exact day the pills ran out might not be sustainable.

evranch,

I feel the OOP debate got a bit out of hand. I hate OOP as well, as a paradigm.

But I love objects. An object is just a struct that can perform operations on itself. It’s super useful. So many problems lend themselves to the use of objects.

I’ve been writing a mix of C and C++ for so long I don’t even know where the line is supposed to be. It’s “C with objects”. I probably use only 1% of the functionality of C++, but that 1% is a huge upgrade from bare C IMO.

evranch,

Rust is heresy. Everything should be mutable, the way that God intended it to be!

Seriously though as someone who has mainly done embedded work for decades and got used to constrained environments, the everything is immutable paradigm seems clunky and inelegant. I don’t want to copy everything all the time.

Now if you’ll excuse me, these null pointers aren’t going to dereference themselves

evranch,

I was more referring to the fact that everything is immutable by default. As someone who’s just starting to get old (40) and literally grew up with C, it’s just ingrained in me that a variable is… Variable.

If I want a variable to be immutable I would declare it const, and I’m just not used to the opposite. So when playing with Rust, the tutorial said that “most people find themselves fighting with the borrow checker” and sure enough, that’s what I ended up doing!

I like the concepts behind it, it really encourages writing safe code, and I feel like it’s not just going to be a fad language but will likely end up underlying secure systems of the future. Linux kernel rewrite in Rust when?

It’s just that personally I don’t have the flow of writing code like I would in C/++, just not used to it. The scoping, the way you pass variables and can sort of “use up a reference” so it’s not available anymore just feels cumbersome compared to just passing &memory_location and getting on with it, lol
