I have but perhaps I should have phrased my title better. 99% of all songs by females are about relationships stuff and I think when it’s about eccentric stuff some guy in the band wrote the song. So, a few examples here and there does not invalidate my point. Most songs by females are about relationships.

lmao you forgot to sign out of your alt account, OP

Not watching, I cut the cord to avoid commercials. But OTA + antenna , as others said, is a solid way to watch network content for free if you can get a good signal.

I think you should spend more time using AI programming tools. That would let you see how primitive they really are in their current state and learn how to leverage them for yourself.

I agree, sosodev. I think it would be wise to at least be aware of modern A.I.'s current capabilities and inadequacies, because honestly, you gotta know what you’re dealing with.

If you ignore and avoid A.I. outright, every new iteration will come as a complete surprise, leaving you demoralized and feeling like shit. More importantly, there will be less time for you to adapt because you’ve been ignoring it when you could’ve been observing and planning. A.I. currently does not have that advantage, OP. You do.

What the fuck? There’s…what? I played this game for a short bit and thought it was great, but I figured I got the gist of the game and never felt the urge to resume. I was still outside, so I clearly stopped before it started getting good. Fuck. I’m going back in, thank you for posting this.

Support your local plumber!

Related JAQing off opinion piece in The Guardian posted today: “Where are all the films about ‘whiteness’?” .

For those unfamiliar with the acronym, JAQ = “Just asking questions,” a bad faith tactic pushing an absurd narrative (e.g. “movies for white people are disappearing”) by pretending to ask innocent questions.

Direct quote, emphasis mine:

That’s why the final step towards true racial equality on screen is for whiteness to be cinematically named, described and dethroned from its “just human” position of cultural power. It’s time for white people to develop a cinema culture all of their own.

It’s riddled with white power talking points like this. This shit is really fucked up. It is irresponsible for a well-known major news source to publish shit like this, even with the “opinion” label attached. It’s basically right wing extremist (aka Nazi) recruitment propaganda.

Ah, yes, that’s correct, thank you. Your cpu/gpu must support it, or it won’t play.

Huh, there’s a term for that? TIL

Y’know, there’s a similar one used in the gemstone industry: “eye clean,” which only applies if the stone has no inclusions (artifacts) that can be seen with the naked eye. As you can imagine, it’s usually a pretty desirable trait, especially in diamonds. It doesn’t really matter if there’s random garbage floating around in it, it just has to be undetectable to our human eyes.

I was curious, so I looked it up. AV1 is more efficient than HEVC by like 28%! On the downside, encoding is horrifically slooow. It’ll be interesting to see how much hardware support AV1 gets in the coming years, because encoding time will have a dramatic effect on its adoption rate.

Interesting to note: AV1 can be played in Kodi, Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, VLC, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. So on the software side, it’s pretty widely supported.

Sorry, doesn’t look like it supports AV1:

Video Playback
Supported formats include HEVC, MV‑HEVC, H.264, HDR with Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG

OP, listen to this man, he knows his Taco Bell.

Huh, that’s odd. Ok, this one is the one that spun off of Risa: https://lemmy.world/c/tenforward. I’m not sure I have seen the other one, can you link here?

Mod was enforcing unwritten rules and deleting posts mentioning it, so the regulars moved to Ten Forward: https://lemmy.world/c/tenforward. Pardon the mess, we’re at the tail end (I think) of a 24-hour spree on name puns. It’s not usually like this.

Okay, I lied, it’s always this weird.

The 10F Mastodon instance? Not for Lemmy users, as far as I know. Kbin users do have access to Mastodon content (it’s in the “microblog” section over here), but I’m not sure how to get to the Mastodon instance of Ten Forward specifically. Looks like that instance is private, that’s probably why.

While technically true, one of the two Ten Forwards you’re referring to is a Mastodon instance and is nothing like Lemmy.

There’s a mysterious new respiratory illness infecting dogs in the U.S. It’s contagious and is killing some of the infected dogs. I can’t find any updates, dunno if it’s still a thing or if it died out since November.
