Diamond Joe needs to get back to stealing copper from construction sites. It's been a decade since his major-ass haul!

This feels like a shirt for someone with "I speak fluent sarcasm" in their tinder bio

I thought it was Andrew Callaghan

Most people that say they give a shit about surround sound don't have it set up correctly anyway lol

They're lucky if the speakers are even in the right place....let alone tuned properly. Good AVRs come with a microphone and most of the takeover projects I did when I was in home AV had it sitting unopened in the box.

Black olives are delicious. I'm sorry your taste buds hate you.

Then I shall wait until 2025 to play it.

Supergiant Games is probably my favorite studio out there but I just can't do early access anymore. If I play it now, I know I won't go back when it's released to see the stuff that changed...

glimse ,

Oh I'm sure the game will be great! I just don't want to "burn out" on it in early access and never go back like I have a tendency to do.

glimse ,

It will definitely be great - I just won't check back in if I play it now.

Supergiant has never made a game I didn't like!

I'll just say this...remember the username for later. She's been around for awhile posting a ton of (perhaps fictional) personal information, though I think most of the posts were deleted.

Helicopter carrying Iran's President Raisi crashes, search under way ( www.reuters.com )

DUBAI, May 19 (Reuters) - A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister crashed on Sunday as it was crossing mountain terrain in heavy fog, an Iranian official told Reuters, and rescuers were struggling to reach the site of the incident....

The Israeli government isn't exactly known for their subtly... UNLESS.... They've deliberately been shit at hiding it before so this time everyone would assume it couldn't have been them....Netanyahu is a stable genius playing 4D chess...!

It's easy to reach out for clarity but if mods did that for every post that seemed spammy, it'd be a full time (unpaid) job. Remember that your post is an outlier, spammy-sounding posts are usually spam. I wouldn't take it personally.

glimse ,

You have misinterpreted what happened.

You were not told you aren't permitted to introduce yourself... Your post was removed because it was mistakenly flagged by an Automatic Moderation bot (AutoMod) as spam.

Please reconsider taking the actions of an algorithm personally or at the very least, don't anthropomorphize the bot - its behavior is code, it doesn't have an attitude

Recently?

Tech has always been about pushing boundaries. And that's not a bad thing

glimse ,

Maybe those pages should find a new platform that's not owned by Meta

glimse ,

Ok then.

I don't necessarily disagree with the comic but why ask fediverse users to remember to go visit Facebook/Instagram pages if they're evil?

glimse ,

The solution is for people to stop using the platform, not regularly check in with it. The messaging is totally backwards here.

Creators need to leave those sites. This just encouraging people to give Meta more analytics and ad revenue.

glimse ,

Host your own. bruh.........

But there's a big red arrow pointing to the obvious. Isn't that enough to convince you it's worth watching...?

glimse ,

Twitter was great and I think anyone who thinks otherwise either curated it to be awful or didn't really use it at all. Your Twitter experience was defined by who you followed. There was sports Twitter, political Twitter, science Twitter, weird Twitter...there were thousands of different spheres to put yourself in.

If you followed political accounts...yeah you set yourself up for a toxic experience. But I followed funny people so my experience was great. A seemingly endless series of one liners, comics, and weird observations.

glimse ,

Twitter was no worse in that regard than any social media site until the 2016 election.

glimse ,

It got worse but it didn't become a truly toxic cesspool until Elmo bought it.

It's not like the majority of the site was toxic, either. It was THE site for science, comedy, music, and a bunch of other interests until recently. It's like picking a couple shitty instances/communities we have here and declaring the entirety of the fediverse a toxic cesspool.

Qualified experts of Lemmy, do people believe you when you answer questions in your field?

The internet has made a lot of people armchair experts happy to offer their perspective with a degree of certainty, without doing the work to identify gaps in their knowledge. Often the mark of genuine expertise is knowing the limitations of your knowledge....

glimse ,

Buddy, I don't even believe me.

glimse ,

This was true for a brief period but the podcast bubble popped a decade ago

The artist's name is cropped out so I can't even go see when it was made...hopefully not recently

glimse ,

HMMMM DO I WANT THE GUY THAT ISN'T GOING TO STOP OUR SLIDE TO FASCISM or the guy who is going to accelerate it??

It's such a tough choice! I don't know what to do! Maybe I should just not vote so the second guy has a better chance???

glimse ,

Doesn't this kind of imply taking a swing at it will result in serious bodily injury?

glimse ,

I guess you might as well have fun for 5 seconds before you die!

Should I worry about referencing other people's code?

Thanks to the current SEO nightmare, I can no longer use search engines the same reliability as before. Stackoverflow is too toxic and often all I need is to properly look up some more obscure stuff about some API, which "could just be googled". AI, of course, is very unreliable....

glimse ,

(I oftentimes add notes to where I took config bits even in my private my-eyes-only repos to have some breadcrumbs).

I'm not much of a coder anymore (and even then, it was self-taught hobby projects) but this is soooo good to do aside from just giving credit. I'd leave comments "I learned about this from here: (link)" so I could go back and reference it later.

I made a simple batch script to generate project folders at work and then a year later our standards changed....I would have had to start from scratch if not for the links I left because I forgot everything I learned

glimse ,

I had such high hopes for that game and was perfectly ok with it being a straight L4D clone with updated graphics. Unfortunately, they did not copy the parts of L4D that made it really fun and replayable.

I don't know what they were thinking with that pvp mode. We played a round or two after beating the campaign and that was the last night my group played. Really disappointing.

glimse ,

I actually kinda liked the deck system...the idea of it anyway. I didn't love picking the cards while playing, though.

Do the melody on vocaroo

https://vocaroo.com/

glimse ,

That sounds familiar...but the first song coming to mind is not very similar (and also newer - "Pretty In Possible" by Caroline Polachek)

It'll think more about it today

glimse ,

As I was preparing to lock up my bike, a thief ran up behind me and grabbed it! I chased him down and threw the bike into the river to reclaim my stolen property.

glimse ,

Ok so I'm not saying it looks GOOD but....wow, this car is so much less ugly in black.

I have even less respect for people who buy the plain silver knowing this is an option.

glimse ,

Hating olives is pretty common. So yeah, it would fit right in there!

glimse ,

It's easy. Do what the other commenter said and break them before opening. They suggest in half, I prefer in thirds. Then after you eat the solid pieces you dump the crumbs into your mouth. If they made them less crumbly, I don't think they'd be as good.

glimse ,

I'm all for reduxcing packaging but...ewww I'm not eating these from an unsealed box. Bugs love the crumbs....I can imagine they'd love the full bars, too. Not to mention rodents.

The box would have to be fully resealable, too, or they'd be gross so they'd need to replace the cardboard with plastic

glimse ,

Too risky. I'd rather have bite size pieces than try to catch the crumbs in the tiny wrapper

glimse ,

To make them not turn to dust in transit, they'd need to be in a hard shell sleeve wrapped in plastic like Oreos...and they'd still likely get crushed a bit.

I'm not a packaging engineer but that seems like more plastic with little added benefit

glimse ,

Great one

glimse ,

This dumb fucker's only skill is kicking a football

glimse ,

It's not true for every player, of course, but I'm inclined to think he got into Georgia Tech through football recruitment, not academic qualifications.

glimse ,

Its not a bad school, my cousin went there and he's a very successful engineer. But he didn't go there for sports

glimse , (edited )

The incorrect part about the tweet is that they do it to mimic human infants. They do not. They learned that humans love a little meow meow and it gets them attention, it's confidential that it's similar to babies

My friend had a cat whose meow sounded like an elderly pack-a-day smoker.

Ever seen the game Vaudeville? It's a fairly basic detective game but all the characters have their own LLM and AI voices. I bought it for the reason you described. I just had to see the technology in action and I can definitely see a future with generative text/voices in games.

It's not perfect by any means but I think it's a very cool approach to a detective game. There have been updates to it since I played that address most of the problems I had with it like characters forgetting past conversations and giving conflicting info.

glimse ,

That's pretty much Vaudeville. The only things you can do is click on locations and talk to people, each of whom has some bit of information you need to figure out.

It's basically an experiment to see what works and what doesn't with the idea. I appreciate that they kept the scope small (no quests, no WASD movement) and have been implementing changes as they discover the shortfalls (like the ones I've mentioned). If it ever does get released as a finished game, it'll be more like a proof of concept for other games to build off of.

glimse ,

Unless you want to push back (clearly you don't), I wouldn't even acknowledge the topic or what about the topic makes you uncomfortable

"Hey man, this is a bar conversation. I don't feel comfortable talking about stuff like this at work."

I work in the same office as my best friend and I've told him similar - even though our politics are very closely aligned. Yes, I agree it would be funny if Trump shit his pants when he falls asleep in court. But I don't want people to hear us talking about that

glimse ,

Nah because then you actually have to talk to them at lunch
