I don't fully disagree, but the examples of non-human behavior could hardly have been chosen more poorly.

Birds singing is communication. People don't get particularly competitive over talking.

Making a beehive is making a home or apartment complex, and we definitely expect a certain amount of skill in that from those who do it. If bees fail or do it poorly, the whole hive dies. Definitely not something they just do casually.

I thought the issue was that the admin in charge of the domain name registration just disappeared for like a year and the other admin didn't have access to renew it. Where did you get the idea it had to do with funding?

I get you, but the fediverse is small enough that you can get by with just blocking accounts that do stuff like this. Complaining about it is just pissing into the wind, unless you want to start another resistance movement spamming corn. Probably overdue for it again.

Do your part! Reduce, reuse, recycle!

Reminds me of the old image generators that were image classifiers run backwards, if I remember right. Just pure visual similarity leading to "visual run-on sentences" so to speak. Love this sort of stuff.

They'll refill it forever too, even if it was supposed to just be a recovery aid. Seen more than one elder become addicted.

Yep, still standard with business laptops and game consoles. Although most laptops are usb-c now, so they don't really need it.

Why would a random grafitti mural have anything deeper than a jab at the common use of the term cheese pizza for csam, and the whole pizzagate mess?

Holy shit this is some primo conspiracy shit. You're reading meanings from character encoding quirks?

Is that really necessary given everything that's just in plain text? Is there any evidence that this is actually encrypted Chinese text at all? Do you have any understanding of Chinese or are you just trying to find meaning character by character?

Have you checked your technique against random chunks of other text data to ensure it's not just a coincidence?

And most of all, why the fuck are you doing this work and sharing it through google if you think there's even the most remote chance you're actually onto anything?


I honestly don't have anywhere near the kind of knowledge in encrytion and character encoding to even begin to say if you're on to anything or not. I doubt you do either, or else you wouldn't be asking here.

Considering there were csam images as unencrypted images in the files, I find it hard to believe they even cared to try and hide anything. Especially not under a reversible encrytion with some character encoding shaningans. More likely they would have used one of the many standard methods that rely on secure key exchange through a separate channel and asymmetry.

What he said was that training humans takes a lot of water too, in defense of AI. This is a shitpost take on that.

It's spicy but not tremendously so on the way in, which just makes it easier to have enough to set your o ring on fire when it's time for round two.

The way some of you talk about mainland Chinese people(like we’re brainwashed bugs, NPCs, or extensions of the state) is dehumanizing. Full stop. You don’t speak this way about Americans living under mass surveillance, police violence, and corporate rule.

I've definitely seen this type of rhetoric being directed at Americans more and more as our current president continues to fuck up everything.

 

If you like video game music, you already know this one. But this cover using real instruments is one of the best I've heard of this composition.

Man, I am so overdue for a CT replay. Just have to choose between my copy for DS or the "Plus" romhack.

 

The band has been described as doing metal/fuzz/stoner rock. This is from their album Black Hole Space Wizard Part 2. Part 1 and 2 make a complete story.

Humans escaping from a dying earth about to be devoured by the titular wizard, ship crashes with only one survivor. This track is the survivor trekking across a desert.

Will probably post a couple more from them.

 

Dankpods used 12 computers with different hardware to test the performance of 5 games in 1080p and 4K, comparing the average fps results of the games' built in benchmarks to determine which OS ran the game better across the same hardware: Windows or Bazzite.

Some notes on methodolgy under this spoiler

Each game uses the same in game graphics settings in Windows and in Linux. The Linux distro used was Bazzite, using the version specific for the graphics card hardware fpr each individual machine. To be clear, this means that he installed the Bazzite version for (legacy) nVidia as appropriate.

Each bazzite install was fresh, no copying installs or swapping around a drive with it pre-installed. After install, it was updated using system update and rebooted, repeated until no updates remained.

Screenshots of some of Dankpods's comments to this effect:

There are many comments under the youtube video pointing out that in many of the Linux runs, it was not actually using the correct driver, comments about the experience using other distros, and comments about various potential fixes and workarounds.

This misses the point. Dankpods intentionally tested this way, and used Bazzite, to try and show what this would be like for the average gamer schmuck without a ton of technical skill interested in switching to Linux. Out of box experience matters in this situation, even though it's not quite fair to compare that between free opens source distros and an OS created by a megacorp. To the average end user, it won't matter. They just want it to work.

Prepare to be upset. With this particular testing methodology, Linux doesn't really win overall.

I'm interested to hear the community's thoughts on this.

 

An absolute classic youtubepoop. Can't believe it's 17 years old.

Just about any line from this activates me like a sleeper agent. This is going to be stuck in my head for a month, at least.

Check the new pinned post in .ml's meme community. Here's the post itself:

There's so much goofiness to unpack here.


And a bonus, this small comment thread. We're totally not a marxist instance guys but we totally are a marxist instance guys and it's such a good thing:


I can't mentally square how someone could claim their instance is general use, run a general meme community, and also openly state the community purpose is to further specific ideology. Wow.

Nothing against surfacing lesser heard voices, but that's not the place for a generic meme comm (go make a leftymemes equivalent or something), and we all know that isn't what's really going on here.

 

Someone gifted this to my wife and I after our successful IVF. Still haven't put our photos in it, and everytime I see it I giggle.

Miracle Love Baby sounds like some magical girl anime shit.

 

Honestly? That's rookie numbers.
