When I look at what she does before even hitting the AI button I think her artistic interests are not in trouble. But she always liked drawing and painting anyways.

bjoern_tantau OP ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Nah, that's running on a laptop with the actual AI stuff being rendered on my gaming PC. I think that's basically what all the AI tools on phones do as well. It's just some company's gaming PC.

Yeah. Took me several days to set it up with the AMD card on my gaming rig. I also tried to run it on a Steam Deck but I gave that up. As it says, using the CPU is possible but painfully slow.

When you want to find something in a different path than your current one you have to supply it as the first argument. When you try to do find -name foo.bar /path it will complain that the path should be the first argument. So it knows what you're trying to do and instead of doing it it just complaints.

Was the other way around for me. F-stab just makes no sense.

What file format do you store your media in?

Hello! I recently listened to a podcast that talked about how storing media files in .av1 format is very efficient and storage-friendly. I've been storing my files in .mkv format, but now I'm considering using Handbrake or a similar service to convert all my video files to .av1 if it's more compressed than .mkv. So;...

bjoern_tantau ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

If I get my files already compressed they stay that way. If I rip something like a DVD I will just encode it in whatever is good at the moment. Re-encoding usually only makes sense if you can drastically reduce filesize. If you go from one lossy format to another you will always lose quality. So if that just means slightly smaller files I wouldn't do it.

Theoretically it should be possible. You can at least install MTP on Linux PCs and I bet there's something for Windows as well. So I think at that point it's up to the smartphone to have client support.

Meh, but I'm too lazy to test this.

I have Ventoy on a MicroSD card for my Steam Deck. Saved my ass the other day.

If you don't have a floppy disk to boot into the optimal memory configuration for your game, what are you even doing with your life?

Something tells me Karl Marx wouldn't like these things either.

Yeah, well, a strength of 8 is really pathetic. cries in STR6

Really surprised when I randomly found out that my tech illiterate friend was running Linux. Back in 2014 or so. Ubuntu. Was no big deal for her. It did everything she wanted.

I guess they are not using php.

First time I encountered a Y2038 bug in the wild. And apparently they still did not fix it for some inane reason.

I have no idea why that field isn't optional.

It is. But leaving it off means that the cookie will be removed when the browser is shut down.

Linux is just more secure and keeps you from doing a stupid mistake.

With a password you can have an exact binary comparison. Either you supplied the correct password or you didn't.

But with biometrics you just have an approximation because your fingerprints change slightly due to the position in which you hold them, your health, humidity, pressure and probably other stuff I'm not thinking of. So the sensor can only say that it's like 95 % or whatever sure that it got the correct fingerprint. And this uncertainty makes it much easier to exploit.

And your fingerprint is not secret. You leave it all over the place. Especially on devices you use every day. And your fingerprint can (and will) be taken without your consent. And you cannot change your fingerprint if it gets compromised.

All those spy movies showing how trivial it is to circumvent biometric security have in common that whatever method they used was realistic.

Like that monkey experiment where they put food on top of a ladder but every time someone tries to get the food everybody gets sprayed with cold water. When they stop trying to get food they take one monkey out and put a new one in who gets beaten up by the others when it tries to get the food. So they substitute in new monkeys until none of the originals are left but they still beat up anyone trying to get the food although they don't know why.

bjoern_tantau ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Yeah, probably.

Anyways, let's eat some non-pig meat and chop off some foreskins!

The heterosexual couple next door is so nice, though.

Just get bigger bags or a smaller bin.

Just be a common degenerate like we all are and pile your garbage up. Then it will be the exacts correct size.

They are set up automatically on OpenSUSE and make a new snapshot before and after every program installation, update and removal. Awesome for general peace of mind and especially when you're up to strange shenanigans.

I guess "shopping local" actually still has meaning.

Remembering window placements should be possible on KDE with Kwin rules. Maybe your window manager has something similar.

bjoern_tantau ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Easy. Just create a rule not matching a particular window and set position to "Remember".

bjoern_tantau ,

Why the downvote?

Just tried it myself on Plasma 6.0.4 on Wayland. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Works perfectly fine.
