People are absolutely “needed”. The thing is you can make people 1000% more efficient, which means you need fewer of them. And the quality is often “good enough”. Especially when the goal is nothing but spamming your way to the top of SEO lists.
Also this whole idea that AI can’t create anything original completely missed the fact that humans can’t either. By the time you’re old enough to write, you’ve already been influenced by thousands of other people. That is unless you’re born to nomads who live out in the wilderness alone, at which point your original content is probably very boring, shallow and linear.
Hello everyone - I have been wanting to ditch windows on my gaming pc for a while now, and since I have recently finished a large project, I now have the free time to switch.

There are some gaming focused OS’s such as Nobara (Fedora) and also that are “couch gaming” OSs that incorporate controller-only UIs such as ChimeraOS (Arch) and Bazzite (Fedora).
I’ve transitioned over the last couple of years to using exclusively aliases. I do not give my actual email address to absolutely anyone.
If someone leaks the alias I gave them to spammers, I write the offending company a strongly-worded email, then disable or spin up a new alias to use.
For your situation, these things happen all the time and your email provider will likely work it out soon enough. It’s just a bit cat and mouse game with spam.
You can create a temporary filter to move them to and disable the notification for those emails for now.
I suppose it’s possible but you’d need to buy and maintain several domains. Very easy to use with Proton or AnonAddy or Firefox Relay. And then any of those domains could be tied back to you.
I think Mastodon conceptually doesn’t care about big users. And they don’t care about growing. Gargeon certainly has as many followers as anyone and certainly understands any associated problems.
So why didn’t he include the second part in the first post? Almost send like he WANTS people to misunderstand. I can’t understand why he’s even on fedi when all he ever does is try to stir the pot
I don’t think there’s any denying that consoles have several advantages. They’re just not worth it LOL
But no you don’t “have to” build your PC. You can buy a pre-built or have someone like Micro Center build it for you.
Also when a new console comes out, it’s probably a great deal hardware-wise, as they can sell them at a loss to get you “in the door”. But that’s because they know they’ll get their money back from subscription fees and game sales, which are generally considerably more expensive.
A few years after new consoles are released (like right now) you can build a PC for less money with equivalent power.
Steam Machines are likely to become a thing again and they’ll be taking a chunk of that “plug and play” market for sure.
it sounds like Google and Apple are finally working together
Not at all. Apple was forced to support RCS by the digital markets act. While Google uses RCS, there’s a ton of functionality they build on top of it. Apple will likely implement the absolute bare minimum that they’re required to, which likely won’t include E2EE.
Given that, showing up in a group chat as a lone blue bubble marks you out as the inferior group member
Not really how it works though. If there are 74 iMessage users and 1 Android user, ALL chats become green. Ergo Android users are often simply omitted from chats.
I’m aware regular Beeper can be self-hosted, but Beeper Mini can too?
The difference between old and new is that all the services on the old one rely on Matrix bridges and the new one will not. They claim iMessage, Signal and WhatsApp will all be working on-device. So those obviously won’t be self-hosted. The rest they have yet to decide exactly how they will implement them but Matrix is going to be part of it.
Brad Murray said the end goal is to have everyone messaging each other directly on Matrix.
People make HDR out to be a big deal. In reality it is barely even noticeable. Like going from 4k to 8k or 120 to 240Hz. Most people can’t even tell the difference.

Seems many of the most-played games on SD are also some of the most difficult to run on any hardware. Starfield and CP77 are probably 2 of the most intensive games and yet both are at the top of the list.
Hi there, I know this has been debated for a long time but just trying to understand if this level of backlight bleeding is normal. To add some context, this picture was taken in a dark room with the deck showing a completely black image. Thanks! steam deck picture in the dark
Gonna be impossible to tell from a photo because it’s depending on a whole lot of variables, namely exposure.
Important to note if there is excessive pressure on any LCD panel, this can happen, so if you’ve opened it you might want to double check that it was reassembled correctly and the screws torqued properly.
I was exploring the fps and refresh rate slider and I realized that when setting the framerate limiter to 25, the refresh rate was incorrectly set to 50Hz on the OLED version, when the 75 Hz setting would be a more appropriate setting, for the same reason 30 fps is at 90 Hz and not 60 Hz. Anyone else seeing the same behavior? Is...
Unless you have trully blind taste you are going to notice just how wooden the ai writing is.
That’s because the state of AI is “not good”. It’s nothing to do with being incapable of originality. Every word in that book has been written somewhere else. Write a book entirely comprised of brand new words and the reader won’t be able to understand it.
Originality is not binary, it exists on a scale. AI is just not very far up the scale just yet.
We estimate that by 2025, Signal will require approximately $50 million dollars a year to operate—and this is very lean compared to other popular messaging apps that don’t respect your privacy.
Depends on who is in the group chats. Primarily I am concerned with keeping them out of the hands of corporations, eg: Google, Meta, MS, AWS, etc. to be added to giant databases and used to profile me or unjustly subpoenaed by the gov.
