Nah, that’s an organizer. You’re thinking of the type of aircraft that flies by flapping its wings.

What’s the deal with moths? Am I out of the loop and it’s just the new beans/stroganoff/poop-holding?

My company recently announced to the whole IT department that they’re contracting with Google to get Gemini for writing code and stuff. They had someone from Google even give a presentation rife with all kinds of propaganda about how much Gemini will “help” us write code. Demoed the IntelliJ integration and everything. I wouldn’t say we were “asked” to use it, but we were definitely “encouraged” to." But since then, there’s been no information on how actually to use our company-provided Gemini license/integration/whatever. So I don’t think anyone’s using it yet.

I’d love to tell everyone on my team not to use it, and I am kindof “in charge” of my team a bit. But it’s not like there aren’t many (too many) levels of management above me. And it’s clear they wouldn’t have my back if I put my foot down about that. So I’ve told my team not to commit any code unless they understand it as well as they would had they written it themselves. I figure that’s sufficiently noncommittal that the pro-Gemini upper management won’t have a problem with it while also (assuming anyone on my team heeds it) minimizing the damage.

Yup, that’s right. The scene in GTA San Andreas there has become a viral meme to express… well… “ah shit, here we go again.”

My grandmother was similarly god-like at the NES Dr. Mario.

I gave you an upvote.

I could see a case for using “working person” instead of “worker.” It’s definitely not the sort of thing that’s agreed to be exploitative language (yet?) though.

What I do for sure bristle at a lot more is referring to people as “resources.” Like, when planning a project, discussing how many “resources” can be “put on the project”. Definitely feels dehumanizing.

No, that’s a U.S. state in the north-west of the contiguous 48.

I noticed just yesterday or maybe two days ago that MysticMuchroom had banned me from !stable_diffusion_witches@lemmy.dbzer0.com calling me an “Anti-AI Troll” in the modlog. I’m fairly certain I’ve had exactly zero interaction with the stable_diffusion_witches before or since.

My guess is that ze had previously banned me from !stable_diffusion_mycology@lemmy.dbzer0.com for downvoting too much and preemptively also banned me from stable_diffusion_witches when ze first created it.

Then ze had the gall to come to this thread to troll and file reports to me (I’m a mod here on !fuck_ai@lemmy.world) about people calling zir out for basically exactly that behavior.

Oy.

I think the need for more explicit rules in the sidebar is getting more crucial. I might see about trying to make that happen soon. I’ll probably start by DMing @VerbFlow@lemmy.world and see where it goes from there.

Edit: And now I think MysticMushroom is evading zir ban. Either that or someone else is impersonating them.

I can’t help but think of this:

(There’s a guy named “Magnus Carlsen” who is arguably the best chess player of all time.)

My current mouse’s wheel stopped working and I took it apart, cleaned it out good (alcohol and q-tips are great), and reassembled it. Worked great… for a while. And then broke again.

If I were you, I’d try cleaning the “beloved” and see if that does it. It might work “forever” if you do.

The HP’s issues are weird. They mostly seem software-related, not hardware. (Clicking on a window but not the taskbar? And you’re sure the other mouse works in those cases with no other variables different than which mouse you use?) Does the HP mouse require special drivers or something?

Whatever the case, fixing the HP feels like a lot more work and googling than fixing the Victsing to me.

So they won intentionally. ;)

Failing? I call that a win.

“Oh, am I supposed to kiss it?”

Now listen here you little shit

I haven’t watched the video yet, but just because it’s relevant to the topic…

I used to stream to Twitch with just ffmpeg. No OBS or anything.

I mostly did speedruns, and I needed a timer, so I wrote my own. I had ffmpeg read the current time to display from a file in /tmp/ and had a Go program that would write to that file at the same rate as the framerate at which I was streaming. Worked really well, actually.

I also made some videos (mostly tutorials for pulling off certain glitches in The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild) and put them on YouTube. I edited those entirely with ffmpeg and a pretty simple Bash script.

I’m definitely not going to claim they were what you might generally recognize as “well-edited” videos, but they did the job. And I definitely wasn’t really looking to “make it big” on YouTube or anything, so I wasn’t looking to polish my videos.

Here is one of my videos for reference. And here is a clip of a VOD from one of my streams that demonstrates the timer I mentioned.

He finally flipped it inside out last year.

Hey, there’s the one I was looking for!

Then make the “one true frontpage” for Lemmy or whatever (implement ActivityPub, maybe borrowing some code from the Lemmy codebase itself, or kindof making a fork of Lemmy), and if it’s good, it’ll be used. If not, it won’t.

But then, it might well fall victim to this phenomenon:

Lemmy has lots of competing “front pages.” How will one more change anything? A more generic domain name or something?
