@chris we went last night too. My girlfriend wore improper footwear, so we left after the 70 minute mark to warm her back up, but that was long enough to see the fire score.
okay great, so, I thought, all right, let's try downloading plex, they say it should be easy to get to work, and it's like... there's a lot of stuff unsaid here, because this does not just work and I have no clue what buttons to push to get it to work on my local network, if my router is even capable of supporting it.
Every new pitch I hear for "AI" makes me think wow they must have come up with some interesting new technique, otherwise these claims are obviously false. And then you look into it and it's still just a very complex stochastic model underneath. But the financially motivated folks keep claiming that there's actual factual based use cases for this stuff and I really am not seeing it.
Created a test account on bsky and there appears to be literally no way to opt out of algorithmic feeds. If it decides you aren't following enough people, rather than allowing the Content Spigot to end it starts showing you its fucking algorithmic recommendations after that. God. Fuck Twitter and everything that spawned from it
@mcc i follow a lot of folks on mastodon, and I really appreciate that tusky gives me a load button after I've read a bunch -- it's a good reminder I don't need to keep reading, but not a major impediment if I want to.
If you'd like to do something for me for my birthday, would you please reply to this with—or by other means send me— something with colors you liked? Like an image or a video or a link. Music would also be acceptable if it gives you a strong synesthesiac association with color.
If this request confuses you, here are some examples of images with colors I found striking [Artists: Laurie Barmore, Vian Borchert, Erica Aurahack]. But your reply can be whatever colors you like.
@mcc I came across this piece by joos today on my way home. Local radio recently did an interview with them because they're street art is so striking and they're so prolific
seriously though both of those dudes should be retired. so many people in government should be retired. the refusal to hand over the reins has destroyed entire generations of politicians.
Core Rust infrastructure is frequently hosted on the .rs ccTLD. Some of these sites could be used to drive supply chain attacks if their domains were ever compromised. .rs is operated by an NGO, but ultimately controlled by the government of Serbia.
Do there exist plausible future chains of events that could lead to some future government of Serbia suspending, or redirecting, Rust project/community sites hosted under .rs? Does the Rust community have contingency plans for this hypothetical?
the most annoying thing about the reels on facebook that get suggested is that they're all ripoffs of whatever original poster was there. it'd be one thing if it were organic, like, this hot yoga lady's video is suggested, but it's not, it's somebody stealing some video from the yoga lady's tiktok or insta or whatever, and if I see that woman ever again in a suggestion, it's a different scammer stealing her video, etc.
