Couple of thoughts.

First, what you described sounds like most of the toys I’ve bought my kids growing up so if it brought them joy, probably about as valuable as anything else.

Second, my experience is a bit different. My sons have 3d printed nick nacks displayed on their shelves and both have fidget toys they play with on the regular. Also I’ve got a chain fidget in my pocket I’ve been playing with all day.

I’ve also got a box of less successful toys I’d love to recycle if I could but definitely some wins too. So I think there are a lot of toys you’d be right about but also a lot of them are actually pretty interesting and fun to the right person

Cleaning is a good suggestion. I’d start there.

Also, that kind of looks like the cheap black textured plates that come with some printers. I thought the people talking about pei sheets were over-hyping but honestly they are really much better. It’s not a silver bullet but pla sticks soooo much better to them.

For pla it’s overkill, but for tricky stuff build adhesive can help. I had good luck with vision miner. It’s expensive but it’s been buy once, cry once because it has lasted a really long time.

And here I thought it was because of The Traveler that they didn’t travel over warp 9.

That’s kind of outside the software development discussion but glad you’re enjoying it.

Most ides do the boring stuff with templates and code generation for like a decade so that’s not so helpful to me either but if it works for you.

Explain this too me AI. Reads back exactly what’s on the screen including comments somehow with more words but less information Ok…

Ok, this is tricky. AI, can you do this refactoring so I don’t have to keep track of everything. No… Thats all wrong… Yeah I know it’s complicated, that’s why I wanted it refactored. No you can’t do that… fuck now I can either toss all your changes and do it myself or spend the next 3 hours rewriting it.

Yeah I struggle to find how anyone finds this garbage useful.

At least on my pixel 7, they rolled out Gemini replacement but you could revert it to the classic assistant. It was slow, none of my normal commands worked, and it wouldn’t find anything I was looking for just “answer my question”. I asked it how to disable itself and it couldn’t answer that though. You can probably find documentation online if you use an actual search engine

With the local law, probably not. With the translating the concerns of open communities like the fediverse and FLOSS into legal terms, most definitely.

Dangit, I knew that too and typed it without thinking. Also referred to several documents with a bit of a confusing history to those people that just learned about it in the US public schools.

You haven’t heard of the Magna Carta? It gives him the President the right to pardon people in the UK.

I meant that in the video it’s consistently not worked for a very long time. Seems the switch to HDMI left it behind. While it would be nice if devices supported it like he asked, the fact it was skipped in the HDMI standard and not mandated by law means it’s unlikely devices racing too the bottom line will ever care. And that’s basically what we see. Only the most expensive devices even acknowledge it’s an issue.

That said, I hope VLC devs see his video and improve things. I’m sure it’s more complicated then it seems but it would be cool for them to add that to the ways they’re better than every other player put there.

If someone wants to make me worth 100 million I wouldn’t complain. Can’t guarantee I’ll understand though.

After watching his video it feels like it was already left behind.

If you’re giving me the choice of killing the AI industry or artists it doesn’t seem like a hard decision. Am I missing something?

He did day that about our plugs a lot. Maybe you would you like a link to the technology connections video saying basically exactly what @chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world said about our split phase 120/240 setup then?

I mean it seems to happen pretty often. The Curiosity Nebula mess, Crunchyroll had a $10 for the lifetime of your account thing but when Sony bought them they started messing with it. Even Google tried it with Google App domains free tier which they promised for life. I think everyone said fu to the buyout and just waited for the class action until Google blinked at the last minute.

I assume Plex will find a way to start charging lifetime purchasers any day now.

At this point I look for them just to see what sort of train wreck it’ll turn into.

Safari used to be khtml/Konqueror so … I’m not sure how we’re dividing actually.

I mean, before DOGE ostensibly took over USDS I was aware of it funding open source projects through normal processes just because their continued improvement helped the government function. Making software good for government agencies was one of their mandates.

If I had full faith in the current Mozilla project like I used to, I’d say they could just accept funding through the nonprofit in a similar setup and just do good things.

My point is there are ways to make it work where there is funding without influence. Just corruption and capitalism are fighting against it.

Great! Now not only can chrome eat all my system memory, it can use all my GPU memory at the same time! It’s genius!

I need to figure out who’s giving out all this free money because I’d really like for some to come my way.
