Honestly 2k is fine for most tvs, I wish that became standard. Imo 4k should be reserved for computer screens and the like, that are less than a metre from you, most people can’t really see the difference anyway, it all depends on screen size and distance. From memory a 60inch at 2m will not look any different in 1080 or 4k.

Also side rant, drives me mad when people are more worried about resolution than bitrate (not directed at anyone here) . I have a friend who “can’t stand watching things in 1080p” but half the 4k streaming content is compressed to hell.

Hey mate, I was in the same spot roughly 6 months ago, and now have a pretty decent homeland hosting a bunch of services and it’s been amazing! I don’t really want to say what or how I set things up because I’m no where near competent enough to be offering guidance or advice, but I will say, if you have the time to knuckle down and learn, you can definitely do it! It’s very intimidating but by no means insurmountably hard.

If you have an old PC that you don’t care about, you can just chuck some stuff on there to see if it’s something you would want to get into, wIth little to no risk.

Recently done the same and could not believe how easy it was too set up an *arr stack. It’s like magic

I mean, I provided a second edit to clarify before this comment but if you want to ignore that, sure. I wrote the edits at around 3am which is why it read badly and I did the second one as soon as I realised the implication.

That makes far more sense, and there is definitely egg on my face, I was very confused. My apologies for my initial comments tone, it really wasn’t necessary.

Thanks for clarifying in such a respectful manner, it wasn’t really deserves after my initial comment. Have a wonderful day.

Haha yeah x

Has China ever expressed interest in joining NATO? Was there ever actually a declinature?

New Zealand also isn’t part of NATO, does that mean NATO are imperialists AND flightless bird haters?

Or is this another way I’m blinded by western media and China has been begging to get into NATO and they’re just not reporting it in my sheeple network?

Edit: lol not a Chinese flag, I am blind and phone screen is small. My bad. Replace China with USSR then I guess?

Edit2: my first edit makes it seem like I meant that this comment still makes sense with USSR in place of China. That’s not what mean, so to clarify, Im an idiot and this whole comment can be ignored ❤️

Win 11 has Talon, which just rips out most of the Microsoft specific bs anyway.

Note: I don’t know enough about the script to say for sure that it is safe. And even if I did, I’m a stranger on the internet so you should do your own research before using ❤️

This is why real scientists use the only reasonable real world measurement - a perfectly spherical cow in a vacuum.

I think they meant low value as in low number, said in a positive way (16gb being a lower number than expected rather than a comment on the quality of it) at least that’s how I read it

Nooooo, you don’t get it. The poor artists are smug meanies so we are allowed to steal from them. If the poor artist just accepted the massive low ball offer than everyone would be happy and we’d have world peace probably.

As someone who pretends to be a cider, same, except always in the context of “huh, red squilly underline here, time to find where I missed the fucking semicolon”

This article came out just before the ZenFone 9, which I feel (quickly skimming the list) met all of their “ideal” criteria except the design focused ones. I rocked it for a good while, was a good phone and it is super nice having a small phone for every day carry, but after years of foldables it was just a bit too much for me and I ended up going back to the z fold series.

the problem is, from reading discussions around the time, that people either don’t want small phones, or they don’t feel premium enough (human bias is a helluva drug). I love the idea of a small weekend phone and hope something comes market that has all of the things this person wants (with a spec bump for 2025) cause I’d be super interested to give it a crack

Who’s cheating in Skate? That is such a wild thought that people would cheat in the “zone out and skate around in circles” game

Ok but why Charizard when primeape is right there, he’s practically angron with extra fur…

So using your instance names above, it would seem there would be four possible scenarios that you may take umbrage with:

• Y user posting content in a relevant z community
• Y user posting content in a non-relevant z community
• Y user posting a content related comment in a z community, relevant to the post.
• Y user posting a content related comment in a z community, irrelevant to the post

Content above defined howerever you want to identify the content you don’t want to see. Given this:

• Scenario A allows this content, defederating would not solve this issue, best action is to block the community.
• Scenario B does not allow the content, this would be removed as part of the community rules. If it is not, that is an issue within immunity moderation, not the content poster. Defederating does not solve this if its a moderation issue, because what’s to stop users from X,Y or Z posting the same content?
• Scenario C is similar to A and again defederating does not solve this issue.
• Scenario D again could be a moderation issue, but assuming it’s not (comment is relevant to other comments on the thread, and the post as a whole) then it is someone expressing an opinion relevant to the discussion (whether or not you agree with it) and does not need to be blocked (lest lemmy turn into even more of an echo chamber). If it is that much of an issue to you then block said user and move on - I struggle to believe that there would be more than a handful of users that fall into the “pro content being posted in irrelevant spaces” distinction.

This also ignores the fact that content from other users on instance Y would be lost also, even if those parties may not be “content”.

Lastly, specifically within the anti-ai space, I personally think it’s important to at the very least keep a surface level idea of what is happening, and engage in good faith those who hold opinions different to your own. If you don’t challenge your own ideals and understanding constantly, you risk reinforcing your own biases, and leave no space for growth. GenAi conceptually is an incredible technology that, imo suffers from two major issues, and many many minor ones. The two big ones being, the ethical issues when creating the models that we currently have (copyright, art theft etc) and the rabid implementation of it in places it was never needed/wanted, in their attempt to commodity everything (thanks for copilot in my notepad app m$, very cool!). This isn’t to say that the “minor issues” (environmental impacts, impact on the human psyche etc) aren’t as important.

Anyway, I don’t personally, see a way to rectify these issues, but I’m not a computerologist, and if (massive if) they managed to address these issues, I would hope I move from a “fuck ai” perspective to a “ai is acceptable when used responsibly” perspective. I personally wouldn’t want to be such an idealist that I missed these changes, because of the opinions I hold today.

TLDR: Defederation is a hammer when you probably need a scalpel. Also a bit of personal soap boxing (sorry not sorry)

I love the “mid leap sleep”. On their side, back legs stretched out long, front legs curled, tail curled around to got that golden ratio, perfection.

Draiman is a self-described “very strong supporter of Israel” and last June, he posted images of himself online signing an IDF bomb and appeared to write “Fuck Hamas” on it.

Jesus Christ. It’s so exhausting to continually hear of absolute depravity from people who I used to think were so cool (albeit for this loser, it was when I was like 14).

I mean, its a news article posted to a news forum. And if we look at the comments the parent comments for the top 7 threads are:

-unrelated anecdote -praose for the idea behind the festival -something removed (probably some random racist shit). Notably the child comments seem to call out the original sentiment. -a request for more info -tangential conversation about what defines a “major incident”

• the classic “OMG wtf”
• a comment likening this to another “needle panic”

I don’t know if your issue is with the content or the reactions but I don’t see how either points to the issues with social media. It’s a bit sensationalist and some of the comments arent exactly thought provokers, but there’s nothing (that I can see) that screams “social media bad”

Even to your point about boots, there are some people who are vegan (by their definition) and wear leather boots. Arguments can be made that leather will (in specific circumstances) result in less animal harm in the long run, and while I don’t personally justify leather this way, I can understand how some have these perspectives.

The real issue is labels. As soon as you apply one, you are subject to everyone else’s understanding of that thing. In my experience, if you don’t meet their understanding of said thing you’re dismissed as not being a “true x”, or it’s “if you truly are X then why do you do y?”

This is why I never refer to myself as vegan/vegetarian and just “I don’t eat meat” (or a more specific statement as needed).

I never say I’m a leftist/socialist I just gestures vaguely at American politics believe that’s kinda fucked and shouldn’t be done that way.

I even dislike saying I’m an urbanist because, even though I despise car-centric design, I’ve been called out for the sin of hiring a car when I visited my hometown last (generally I cycle everywhere or use PT, but I had an ankle injury so woe is me I guess)

At some level we’re all hypocrites, ones intentions are far more important, and shouldn’t be dismissed as easily as they are. What’s more important is to align your actions with your beliefs, be open about what you believe in, be open-minded when someone’s beliefs don’t align with your own, be ready to adjust your beliefs based on new information and experiences but most of all:

Be kind.
