If you don't use Bing with Edge, Microsoft will tell you your computer needs repairing.

They are not wrong.

To mend your machine:

  1. Ditch Windows
  2. Install Plasma
  3. Your computer is ready.

@kde @kde I'd like to use Plasma, but the last time I tried it, it didn't run very well on my PC.

@qaz No. I use XFCE. I tried Plasma not even a year ago. Moving windows around made the low frame rate obvious.

@analog @qaz This was not even a year ago. I'll stick with XFCE for now.

Boah, ist Dropbox asozial geworden. Früher konnte man über einen Klick auf einen Share-Link einfach die geteilte Datei herunterladen.

Mittlerweile wird so getan, als müsse man sich einloggen. Darunter dann ein kleiner Link, über den es doch auch ohne Account geht. Und das 2x.

Ziemlich aufdringlich, nervig und irreführend.

@thomas I'd like to think that it's for security. But we know it's about getting more people to sign up for their service. I'll still use them for the time being as they're the cheapest service.

I didn't used to be a "militant" user, but I've been bitten too many times by companies with . For example, DAW, - both companies that decided to say fuck you to perpetual licenses. Now, I try to avoid any proprietary application. I recently went looking for a good notes app and everyone loves . As soon as I saw it was closed source, I noped out and settled on . These companies will eventually fuck over customers so I won't waste my time.

What does "Voidkind" mean? DVNE's new album is called Voidkind, but I could not find any translation.

Is the word made up? What could be the meaning of it?

shanesemler,
@shanesemler@metalhead.club avatar

@thomas I’m pretty sure they just made it up because it sounds cool.

Listen, all you Anglophone leftists who think about the world in post-colonial terms:
Palestinians are not "indigenous". There are no indigenous people in the Jordan valley, the regionhas been colonised again and again by one empire after another for thousands of years, dating back to the late Stone Age. Jews and Palestinians are close cousins, you can see in their genetic markers that today's Jews aren't very different from other inhabitants of that region.

@LordCaramac I'm 53 and my entire life I've heard nothing good come out of the Middle East and Isreal. It's an endless stream of violence and bullshit. The only reason the rest of world cares is oil. This includes Isreal. If there was no oil in the region, Isreal would be S.O.L.

    Bandcamp muss dringend was für bessere Übersicht tun.

    Ich kann am Desktop keine einzelnen Tracks direkt verlinken, also verlinke ich die Albumseite.

    Und da gibt es seeeehr viel. Gaaanz unten findet sich dann ein kleiner Link zum Track. Ich hab euch das mal markiert.

    UI-Hölle 😕 ...

    shanesemler,

    @thomas Yeah, that’s also annoyed me for quite a while now. They are past due a better UI refresh.

    I'm rewatching and it's even funnier the second time. While it clearly has very specific Australian cultural touchstones, if you're from any small town in the Western world, it still feels very familiar. You've known people like this. The clash of modern sensibilities and conservative small town mentality will resonate with people, even if they aren't from Australia. It's also a great with clever twists and turns. I hope a second series happens.

    https://watch.metalhead.club is still in the "proof of concept" stage unfortunately.

    Maybe some day I'll have the time to clean up / polish my code and publish it.

    📹 S1 Episode 8: WordPress-ActivityPub with Matthias Pfefferle https://spectra.video/w/nVQAzfWyC64DUfqGQcnCfp

    I thought it was interesting that when @photomatt was focued on bringing to , Pfefferle advocated introducing to the en mass.

    @darnell @pfefferle @deadsuperhero @photomatt @wedistributemedia @hello ATM, the Fediverse feels fairly svelte. Bringing in a massive bloated mess like Wordpress seems like a terrible idea.

    @pfefferle @darnell @deadsuperhero @photomatt @wedistributemedia @hello You tell me. I’m not a dev. All I know is that every time I’ve tried to make a blog with it, it was an awful, confusing, complicated, messy experience. And everyone always suggests it, like it the obvious, default choice. It’s one of the reasons I gave up trying to have my own website. I’m not a fan.

    Why do steel food containers keep food from spoiling for so long?

    @dgar you must be stopped.

    @ward@easymode.im avatar

    Let's stop using the term, "ai art," and start saying, "ai content."

    They want us to call our work, "content," and they want us to call their junk, "art." No.

    shanesemler,
    @shanesemler@metalhead.club avatar

    @ward I guess that depends on what you mean by "they". From what I've seen, it's largely nerds making pictures of "waifus", hentai, and Batman. But there are serious artists working with AI. Rob Sheridan for example: https://www.rob-sheridan.com. I also consider myself a serious artist. I do traditional painting, but I also experiment with AI generated imagery. Does that make us villains?

    shanesemler,
    @shanesemler@metalhead.club avatar

    @ward I get what you’re saying but what if I alter it in photoshop, does that make it mine? There are online apps that allow you to paint in real time and have the ai fill in the detail. Is that mine? You know what I mean, where do you draw the line?

    shanesemler,

    @veronica @ward @sabik well, I don't. And copying isn't theft.
