Do android stans exist? Had always thought android was the lesser of two evils for most people

flashgnash ,

I used to be one of those fanboys when I was younger, but that was driven more by the fact that they weren't iPhones than anything particularly good about Android

Used to be a fan of OnePlus but they've become like every other phone company now from what I hear

A creature of satanic raaaage 🎶

Who is Raymond? Never heard the name

flashgnash ,

I don't think those people are trying to tell you that they don't like what he stands for though

I got excited for monke video :(

A helpful graphic about writing alt text (lemmy.ml)

image descriptionAn infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including "identify who", "expression", "description", "colour", and "interesting features". The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are...

Is this not the kind of thing machine vision/language models would be really good at?

flashgnash ,

We'll get to the bottom of this damnit even if it takes a hundred meetings!

Twenty years ago games didn't cost over £100 sometimes and weren't full of micro transactions to suck more money out of you

flashgnash ,

Depends on the game for me, if it's indie I'll pay full price, helped by the fact indie games tend to be cheaper

flashgnash ,

Fascinating but terrifying to think that natural selection is probably now pushing humans to be good little office drones rather than survivors

flashgnash ,

I've seen videos of eye surgery, no thank you I'm happy with my glasses and contact lenses

flashgnash ,

The other issue is I'm pretty sure it's hugely expensive isn't it?

flashgnash ,

Easily the worst popular messaging app out there. Even on windows the thing barely ever worked for me and hogged a bunch of system resources to boot

As with many messaging apps only thing keeping it alive is the network effect (and integration with 365)

flashgnash ,

Oh you want to use the default audio devices on your system? What default audio devices I'm going to use this random loopback device and your monitor with no speakers!

flashgnash ,

Did you know windows has a dedicated keyboard shortcut for launching linkedin, teams, and all the main Microsoft office products?

flashgnash ,

The more you know💫

flashgnash ,

It was going so well until it started talking about white privilege and the Holocaust...

flashgnash ,

Easy way to verify, ask it about vaccines

flashgnash ,

Did it get taken down or something?

flashgnash ,

I'm still of the opinion all of these viewpoints should be heard out at least once even if you dismiss them immediately

flashgnash ,

I'm not sure a view or opinion can be correct or incorrect though except by general consensus

Absolutely things being presented as facts that are just incorrect should be blown out of the water immediately but everyone's entitled to their opinion whether it's well founded or not imo, censoring that's just gonna drive them into echo chambers where they'll never get the opportunity for someone to change their mind

flashgnash ,

Me calling my child ptoughneigh to screw with teachers having to try to pronounce his name for the first time

flashgnash ,

It's good enough and everyone has it and knows it

I'm not about to even attempt to ask someone in a game if they've got matrix because the answer is going to be no

Notice of Xbox.

Have a nice!

Does the whole encryption/decryption thing still bother you if you self host?

I tried out the app, the value there is that it's ready to go straight away, though I took it all down again because my messages being unencrypted on someone else's server makes me uneasy. May end up self hosting it for that reason and not using anything closed source

flashgnash ,

Kind of is though, if it quacks like a duck

flashgnash ,

Given it's all entirely self host able if you use a different client I'm not sure how they could be

Unless there's some binary blobs hidden in the repo but you'd think someone would have pointed that out by now

flashgnash ,

Discord's own Linux client is kinda ass and keeps breaking my build using old insecure electron versions/forcing you to update before you can use the app while not being up to date in my package manager

Gotta use a custom client anyway to keep my sanity intact

flashgnash ,

I'm using adblock plus (not sure if it's the same one), I've never seen an ad not be blocked by it. Where does this happen?

flashgnash OP ,

I use nvim for it, it works but I'd rather not have to deal with indentation in the first place

flashgnash OP ,

No, I was thinking of actual JSON because it makes it easier to write a plugin (just use built in libraries to import and export configurations)

That said I suppose I could use the built in library and then re-inject comments after the fact

flashgnash OP ,

I'm using neovim. It doesn't magically solve my problems with yaml though

flashgnash OP ,

Comments are an issue I'd have to think about. Would prebuilt libraries for importing/exporting data from/to these languages not handle the multiline strings for me?

What do anchors do in yaml I've never heard of them before

flashgnash OP ,

Seriously? Chatgpt told me that once and I thought it was just hallucinating

Problem is it's for configuration of other services I didn't write, I would just use JSON in the first place if I were defining the schema

flashgnash OP ,

Not a terrible idea to add bits into the JSON but it makes it much harder to program, going for a quick and easy fix here rather than writing my own parser

flashgnash OP ,

What kind of problems? I'm unfamiliar with anchors in yaml

flashgnash OP ,

Can usually tell when it's obviously bullshitting me and verify it if it's not. You can often get it to correct itself if you call it out

(This was the first time I've seen it incorrectly "corrected" itsself)

I think I did a quick search but it seemed so strange to me I just wrote it off straight away

flashgnash OP ,

My plan is not to have multiple files at all and only have the JSON be in memory, or at least if there is a second one have it be temporary and deleted on exit

The problem with the approach of having an intermediary format is I need to create the intermediate format, and given yaml starts for yet another markup language that doesn't seem like a good idea (also a ton of effort to reinvent the wheel)

flashgnash OP ,

Yeah that was exactly what I was thinking, and/or doing a similar thing in lua as an nvim plugin

That said I'm not sure if neovim would support something like that

flashgnash ,

I was considering just building a pc for my ex. Lot of money I don't need to spend anymore I guess

flashgnash ,

As alright as you can be yeah (was 3 or so years). Got supportive people around me

flashgnash ,

Unless you've been a monk for the last 15 years your data's already out anyway

Even on Lemmy, everything you say is public and can be harvested pretty easily

flashgnash ,

So after all that it was just a mechanical turk situation

It did say the workers were labelling the videos, so presumably they were trying to train an AI

flashgnash ,

Sounds like a complete end to privacy as we know it

flashgnash ,

We do have a lot of very bland food over here, but a lot of us like that.

It's a lot more about the texture sometimes, some of us (not me) can do some amazing roast vegetables and everyone seems to have their own ancient tradition for how to make them
