Depends on the nature of the disability I would say.

A neurological disorder of some sort or some other difference would likely not be curable but some sort of magical item could assist, rather than completely ‘fix’ the issue. It would be kind of fun to see how a high charisma character with autism handles things though.

Mobility issues could be routed around with enchantments and such or the use of some kind of frame or wheelchair even. Something fancy or something crudely constructed.

Yeah agreed. I’m not spending that on something I genuinely don’t need lmao.

Tumblr sheds Post Plus subscriptions as the platform downsizes (www.theverge.com)

TL;DR: Tumblr is discontinuing its Post Plus feature, allowing creators to charge for content, starting December 1st. This decision follows a leaked memo about downsizing due to struggles in meeting usage and revenue targets. Post Plus, introduced in 2021, didn’t meet expectations, leading to its discontinuation. Existing Post...

Yep. A crowd settled back in after the dust settles from the porn bans. But the owners are still profit driven and you know, anything that isn’t growing by a huge amount every year is dead to them.

drdiddlybadger,
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

I’d agree on that. If they can drop the video stuff and focus on what makes Tumblr a good space and it’s unique features they could last a good long time and we can avoid the complete homogenization of social media.

I set 777 to my whole file system on a install of Ubuntu back in the day and it does indeed fuck the install in lovely ways. I didn’t bother attempting recovery. Nice learning experience.

Lost the LE because of the error but oh well. I will wait for after market transparent shells and order one.

YES I got one.

Not enough executives have been shit out of cannons into the sun.

Why. No one I know is willing to spend money for something AI related. Is this corpo types thinking that small consumers are driven the same way they are? This is getting goofy

Apple is also trying to expand is advertising division. It might be nessecary to force companies like this to split but I doubt we will ever get such regulation.

Could we use AI to update 4:3 media to 16:9?

I’ve been re-watching star trek voyager recently, and I’ve heard when filming, they didn’t clear the wide angle of filming equipment, so it’s not as simple as just going back to the original film. With the advancement of AI, is it only a matter of time until older programs like this are released with more updated...

You should be able to but remember that aspect ratios and framing are done intentionally so what is generated won’t be at all true to what should be in scene once the frame is there. You’d be watching derivative media. Upscaling should be perfectly doable but eventually details will be generated that will not have originally existed in scenes as well.

Probably would be fun eventually to try the conversion and see what differences you get.

Nightshade - A new data poisoning tool lets artists fight back against generative AI (lemmy.world)

The tool, called Nightshade, messes up training data in ways that could cause serious damage to image-generating AI models. Is intended as a way to fight back against AI companies that use artists’ work to train their models without the creator’s permission....

This is pretty much Glaze 2. It just intentionally poisons the data set with specific targets so model is more fucked. Originally it was just noise being put in and ultimately a image that had been glazed would just get tossed. With this, the image will actually fuck up the resulting model of there is enough poisoned data included.

Probably, I’m not an expert obviously.

The luddites were right tho

If you’re gonna use a new technology to churn out cheaper goods. Great. If you’re going to charge me the same for these goods and keep all the profits while still mis treating labor, fuck that.

It appearantly helps with SSDs so unused blocks aren’t clogging things up. Not sure I fully understand what dropping unused blocks does but I guess it could help with performance?

Damn. I find it incredibly difficult to trust any company that takes issue with this statement. They’re calling for an end to a genocide and get punished for it? Shit sucks.

Too much Nazi shit and other forms of bigotry really. I just stopped posting my artwork there entirely and now post on bluesky and mastodon. Sometimes I use Facebook network shit to assure family that I am alive.

If I live in Mississippi, and I want to drive a boat to Mexico, and back. What is the proper procedure for that?

Like can I just jump in my boat and go? Do I have to alert any authority about my trip? What are the chances the coast guard boards my boat to search it? How do you find a marina in Mexico? Do I have to alert the Mexican government of my trip? I assume I need a passport....

drdiddlybadger,
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

No advice to offer but tell us about your trip when you get back that sounds cool as hell.

drdiddlybadger,
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

Perfectly valid.

They made a lot of bad moves after a while but the saints row series and their other games were pretty baller. Sad. Hope the team all find good stable positions after.

You know it’s pretty likely the most experienced people left long ago. It would explain a whoooooooole lot.

California sues Chino school district, aiming to end policy notifying parents of student gender changes (www.latimes.com)

California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit Monday against the Chino school district, ordering an end to a policy that requires notifying parents if their children change their gender identity, alleging it is discriminatory and violates civil rights and privacy laws....

@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

We don’t have time for school districts to be wasting with culture war bullshit anyway. This behavior must be penalized heavily. Petty tyrants can’t just force everyone to to live the same way they do.

I want to buy a pair just to support this kind of thing. It’s pretty cool.

I’m okay with this I only use them as one backup. Seems pretty reasonable with all the other prices hikes on energy and rent.

drdiddlybadger,
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

Wow, I wasn’t aware they weren’t already doing that. Good for them.

drdiddlybadger,

I don’t even understand thatm that’s hurting their own production. Do they think you can work effectively after a fucking heatstroke? This is ridiculous.

drdiddlybadger,
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

Right so who wants to volunteer to eat it and see what it does?

Pretty neat that they can go into stasis that long. Too bad we can’t just directly copy that ability to something else. Yet.

drdiddlybadger,
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

Good on you for standing your ground. Honestly if they were smart they would give you a raise when the time comes anyway but companies aren’t really the smartest when it comes to retention so I hope you find exactly what you’re looking for and better.

Isn’t this bound to happen without built in automated tools for flagging and moderation. Not quite sure how the federation handles this sort of thing besides community modding, saying something if you see something.

No games for young people or people of a race that the model was not trained on or anyone with a disfigurement or anyone in a dark room. Ever.

Daaaang, thanks for the digging!

What free websites/applications do you recommend for mild convenience?

I also had sites I wanted to share: –Swiftread or spreeder, shows one word at a time to read pasted text –12ft ladder, paste sites into this and it’ll block ads –Invidious, ad free, viewcount free youtube experience & it doesnt play automatically when you click a video –localingual, interactive map of the world, you...

Same. It’s super clean and stable and compatible with paid/secured podcast links. Those funky rss links and stuff.

Joplin and Obsidian.md

Joplin is open source note taking to the bone and obsidian is still open but with some paid favors in the mix. Both have mobile and desktop clients for just about everything except a literal toaster.

Edit: lmao I am a kumquat, obsidian isn’t actually open source except for the plugins. So keep that in mind if you plan to use it.

I will also throw in syncthing. Open source, syncs files between devices it’s pretty freaking neato. Definitely a 10 out of 10 project for me.

drdiddlybadger,
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

I primarily use Obsidian but both use markdown.

drdiddlybadger,
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

Oh shit you right lemme edit that.

drdiddlybadger,
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

It means fuckin’ but make it furry.

drdiddlybadger,
@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social avatar

The app you use can instance block on mobile. Not sure about desktop experience tho. Connect and Liftoff have blocks I dunno about the other applications yet
