Thought and effort

Go to chatgpt, ask for 50 images of a cartoon style human and all of the 50 will have

1. the same style of drawing with those eyes
2. The same “font” with slightly irregular borders
3. The same yellow tint overlayed over it for some reason

It’s the style of drawing, probably stolen from stock websites like this https://sozai-good.com/illust/person/mother/44455

In the First image, there’s a yellow tint that chatgpt absolutely loves to always apply to everything. White is never white

Well, if he expected a total Crash and instead got only mild recession, it still “shatters expectations”

I think it’s Samsung that interpreted the rule at their advantage in a way that sends more devices to the landfill

When I read that news I literally laughed.

It makes an average of $5000/day while the deficit increases by $55000/second

The article isn’t really honest btw, it says indian company and very vaguely alludes to sanctions.

Only a link in the article explains that it’s a Russian company dealing with Russian oil

No, on aur there’s duckstation which is the old GPL3 version (stuck to one year ago) and duckstation-git which downloads that git with latest license and compiles on the end user machine. Both versions respect the dev intentions of “no packages” as it downloads the code and compiles it. The problem that it was about were probably two

1. Documentation on how to compile is insufficient. It depends on many libraries but doesn’t say which exact version which causes issues at compile. Someone did the guesswork and wrote “instructions” (the pkgbuild file) for everyone but it’s not the main dev and it breaks often

2. Because it downloads the code from git, it might be an issue if it’s not tagged correctly, users get the latest commit instead of latest release and that’s undesirable (didn’t check for this case, but it was an issue for other emulators where non devs could run buggy code and complain about non-issues)

It’s more a case by case situation, not universal. In a place where car thefts are rampant they wouldn’t offer that, for example

And the initial deposit is massive

the license change is invalid as it’s based from GPL3 code and previous contributors did not allow the change

Refuse to build in Arch package environments. My license does not allow for packages

but it’s not a package. On arch it downloads the source from his own git and it compiles it on the end user machine. He is a dev and doesn’t know that? Or just pretending?

AUR is just (automated) instructions on how to compile (except -bin, in that case it’s packaged)

A previous commit of the readme even said:

Linux users are encouraged to build from source when possible

yes, good luck building from source without documentation on what libraries do you need

Wait until the shareholders discover that with $0.01 in API tokens a LLM can do the same “job” of a CEO, if not even better. And if the decision is unpopular just blame the algorithm! “Sorry we will switch to ceomind_v2_2065_06_04”

How often do they change flavors that they need a full blown computer to show the logo, probably downloading it from a remote server, compared to just a backlighted sheet with a printed image?

it’s because with credit cards they can check the credit limit, then be sure that the card can pay the insurance deductible in case of crash

instead with debit i can rent a car, close or deativate the card, crash/total the rental car and then avoid paying any extra fee

most rentals don’t rent with debit cards because they want to be sure, and who accepts debit:

1. they preauthorize thousands of dollars instead of hundreds
2. they only rent the lowest end of the available cars

in this case, hertz doesn’t rent to who doesn’t have a credit card

debit = no rent

The pictured one is an universal socket that can accept any plug sold in the eu, because if you go to buy any fridge or oven or washer it comes with the German plug

Otherwise, any other plug (phone chargers, lamps, laptops) comes with the standard which is this:

It doesn’t fit in a German plug as the diameter of the holes and the spacing is slightly different, hence the weirdly shaped wholes

It has both prongs insulated so you don’t get accidentally electrocuted if your finger accidentally touch one during unplugging (especially toddlers)

In my house I exclusively got pure L sockets without the double holes and I wanted to kill the sadist electrician who decided to install them everywhere. (It’s a money issue, universal socket by regulations need 2.5 mm² section copper wires, while the 10A L socket can use cheaper 1.5 mm² section copper wires - but still, how much he saved, 50€ in total? Asshole, I had to spend 3x that to replace all the sockets)

I have that exact Aiwa music player.

Last Sunday when I went back to my parents house, I noticed that the clock was blinking because there was a blackout, so I turned on and I saw that the 5 CD changer not only gets stuck but the laser doesn’t see the discs anymore 😢

I’m sad

Usually asking to LLM works like this:

“I want to do this and I think it’s a good idea, what do you think?”

✅ Perfect, it’s a fantastic idea and you need to do that ASAP (add three paragraphs of slop about why it’s the best thing ever)

“Someone told me I should do that but I’m not sure, what do you think?”

❌ Absolutely no! They have hidden reasons to push you like that (add three paragraphs of slop about why you shouldn’t trust that person and how to cut them from your life)

In the 90s, in my country, a single person made a webpage stating that Microsoft minesweeper promotes war and violence, so since windows 95 if the Windows locale is set to my language, minesweeper becomes “flower field” and you have to find flowers instead of mines
