What does that make me being happily married as a senior engineer who knows most of those languages?

At this point with crypto, you’re going to give away the same amount of information when you buy it on an exchange versus just giving your credit card details over. If you like the extra steps and hassle then go for it, but if you’re just buying porn well then, it’s probably just easier to give them your credit card

Celebrities are also the worst people on the planet in terms of taking a joke. Obviously we saw the worst case with Will Smith, but they always pan out to the audience and celebrities never know how to just chuckle and move on

I don’t think that’s the architecture of ActivityPub though. It’s not meant to be a queryable thing, or a datastore. It only sends deltas, and it’s your job to keep the data you care about and apply the changes as they come through. It’s why when an instance subscribes to a community it never has before there is no history, because it doesn’t have any. (I think Lemmy goes and gets one page though)

Should have said “Plays the sort of husband”

Definitely a week full of movies for me!

I was fully in a sad mood for the first few days, and those who follow me probably know that means I dive into Felicity Jones movies, by far my favorite actress and her movies work well when I feel sad.

• Cheerful Weather for the Wedding - A decent enough story focused around the events of a wedding in 1930’s England following a bride and her family following through the “what ifs” in their lives. The overall theme is around how society pushes us into decisions that we may not have normally made for ourselves, even when we could be much happier if we went against society. Not an amazing movie, but I enjoyed it.

• On the Basis of Sex - A more uplifting story, a biopic of Ruth Bader Ginsberg, following her story of becoming a female lawyer in a male dominated world. A must watch for any American, the story of RBG is one that should be known for any true patriot of our country. Felicity Jones does a phenomenal job as her, and Armie Hammer should be the husband that all men strive to be.

• Last Letter from your Lover - rounding out my Felicity kick, this one follows the story of 2 lovers in the 30s who had reasons to keep their love secret that I won’t go too far into. I’m annoyed at this one because of mostly Joe Alwyn’s character, who spent the entire movie being the “bad guy” from any rom com. The movie pushed too hard that we were not supposed to like him until a penultimate scene involving him, and it soured the rest of the movie. The modern day counterpart to it was good, but the romance in the 60s era just caused too many eyerolls for me.

Moving in a different direction then

• The Grand Budapest Hotel - Switching it up, I’ve never seen a Wes Anderson film and damn, did it make an impact on me. Very good story, great visuals, and some good laughs in there. Will definitely have a rewatch in the future

…and then 21 jump street because my wife and I got drunk and I’d actually never seen it

Security aside, you’re going to have a horrible time if you don’t have any open bank accounts or credit accounts. It’s going to set you back not just years, but potentially decades.

Banks only lend money to people who have a track record of handling money well. If you have no track record of being able to handle money and then they won’t offer you loans. At this point your life you may think who cares… but in 10 years are you going to want to buy a car? Apply for an apartment? Buy a home someday? Without a credit history, the answer to all those will be no.

Uh there is a massive difference in quality on a disc vs streamed. Compression happens whether you have fast or slow internet.

In the video I always notice the giant blocks of compression in sky/snow scenes, plus blacks that all merge together.

Audio you can tell it clips the highs and the lows to squeeze it into a compressed stream.

Maybe you don’t care, but once you notice it it’s impossible to not notice it

This was probably intentional, they don’t really need to say that somebody unlike or undisliked something. You just need to know that their vote is no longer valid. This is probably easier with Mastodon as well because they can and just erase whatever about it was, plus one or minus one, and essentially they don’t have a vote anymore.

Because if you really think about it, do you really need to know if somebody undisliked versus unlike something? Or do you only need to know that their vote is now removed?

Ah perfect, my 2’oclock shit is coming up in a few minutes. I should go find something to read while I’m waiting

Roughly 6 seconds after it’s released someone will change something that breaks it again. It’s a new cat and mouse game.

People do this already and there are bathrooms to use. Saw a mom do this on a McDonald’s table.

I also rarely eat inside fast food restaurants anymore, coincidentally.

No shame on that, Taylor Swift for me :)

I think there’s a difference from the doom and gloom of your post and the actual problem. Quick generated-spam content is really what you’re arguing against.

I can see the use of well crafted jokes in the form of AI art being acceptable. I do not like low-quality spam content though.

I think it’s too rash to just say “ban AI content” and instead reinforce rules like “Ban low effort posts/comments”. The AI stuff that’s low quality farming has been pretty obvious.

Been saying it everywhere here. They’re cortana-ing copilot. They have an interesting thing. But They gave it to their marketing team and they’re just going to run the thing into the fucking ground. It’s going to be on the home page of Xbox, it’s going to take up 40% of the task bar, it’s going to be there taking up 20% of the screen every time you open office.

Ffs they have good ideas then they ruin them with just constant bombardment. They did it with cortana. Cool idea, ruined by their own forcing it in our faces. Hell I’ll even go so far to saying it’s clippy again.

I feel like I’ve been screaming this for so long and you’re someone who gets it. AI stuff right now is pretty neat. I’ll use it to get jumping off points and new ideas on how to build something.

I would never ever push something written by it to production without scrutinizing the hell out of it.

Idiots buy expensive gaming chairs. They feel like you’re sitting on plywood. I don’t care how many colors it has im going to be sitting on it for hours a day.

Put that into a good office chair, where they put research into making sure you’re comfortable for that entire time

Why are we lumping these two together? Gervaise isn’t my favorite but he’s just being political. Chappelle is making fun of trans people.

The champion we needed

If Beehaw chooses to leave the fediverse and defederate everyone, I wish them all the best, but I know I personally will not be joining.

I’ve had enough of walled gardens and private spaces, I chose the fediverse because Reddit started forcing decisions I didn’t like, like which apps I could use or how I interact with the communities I enjoy. The fediverse allows me the choice to choose what communities I want to subscribe to on my own terms, and that isn’t something I want to let go of easily.

There are downsides, there is noise, but that’s the role of hosting social media. It’s inevitable that as a community grows with more people who enjoy it, that there will also be people who want to tear it down. To me, that’s just a fact of the internet.

I’ll be disappointed, Beehaw is what inspired me to set up my instance and my communities and nurture my tiny instance - but I still believe in the fediverse. Welcoming differing opinions - not shutting them out.
