Man everywhere in the world is just about war these days. What a shitshow of a time to live.

Where did all smart people who can actually lead and de-escalate go ?

Is there something or someone I can follow for a while to distract myself from this shit and actually learn something ?

Honestly, there is nothing to learn in this

I'm curious what drives you to record videos using the glass. As opposed to a phone/camera, the POV is very restricted as you cannot move vertically (unless kneel/crawl and look up/down ofc). So I'm sure it cannot be called a replacement to a traditional phone/camera.

So what is your motivation to use it ?

Interesting. A few questions, if I may.

Are you running ollama in the same system as the one consuming it ? If yes does it always run in background ? Does it impact performance of other applications when it runs in background?

I’m not a windows fan boy, in fact I haven’t used one in years, and have no intentions to.

But this is a weird way of thinking about MS shenanigans.

  • Hate it or like it, windows update is still an update to your system, to fix security vulnerabilities even. I wish they had implemented it in a user friendly way. But it is NOT a thing that disrupts you with ill intent as you mentioned here.
  • That is a task manager running some process. But no indication on what the process is !
  • Enabled by default is an horrible design decision no matter who does it. I agree on that. But this is NOT unauthorised access. You signed up for it when you decided to use windows.

Again I don’t like MS. Hate them for their bad decisions, but don’t hate them by misrepresenting them.

(My comment is only about this screenshot posted here)

Curious to know why ? Basic functionality seems very obvious and friendly to me.

Why ? The sign has different meaning in different cultures. It is just your ignorance of anything outside your bubble.

Missed opportunity to re-brand clippy

I'm not your dad, but I'm proud of you. The absolute least I know about you is you don't mind admitting pain, so I'm proud of you. 🫂

 

Couple more optional questions

  • Did the decision bring any change to your life ?
  • Do you feel the decision stopped you from expressing something at some point ?

This (arguably unhelpful) phrase seems to be taught across schools all over the world. What are some other phrases like this that are common ?

It means when the author was waiting for his order at Popeyes, the guy in front who did small talk with him introduced himself as a Gitlab employee and told the author "Gitlab might sell in weeks. It is a deal or no deal"

 

Also, if you can, how do you think others can appreciate it and may be some recommendations to get started with.

 

For example in forza, the game plays engine sounds based on how much we press the button. Are there different sequences of clips ? If yes how do they blend so well ? Or are they synthesized dynamically ?

There are so many parts to it as well - when the gear shifts, when you suddenly slow down at high speed, when you suddenly accelerate from stop. They all seem very realistic.

Edit: Thanks for the great answers everyone 🙏

 

For me it is when companies/services market themselves as donating to XYZ cause if I buy their product. If they want to donate, they should have already done that with the money they have. Asking me to give them profit so that they can donate is so obviously pretentious.

 

And yes you have to spend it all

Edit: There are a lot of little good things in these answers that I often ignore. Thanks everyone.

 

I know a lot of shitty things are happening in the world right now. But I get this feeling that most of the posts I see in lemmy feed are sad or depressing.

Are there any uplifting communities that I'm missing out on ?

Edit1: Thanks for the suggestions everyone

 

Edit: I'm basically looking for new topics to explore to add to my YouTube feed/subscriptions 😁

Edit2: Great recommendations. Thank you everyone
