Nope.

We live in a society, and as far as I’m concerned, stealing the person behind you’s very limited leg room is selfish.

I’ve only seen it in a you’re selling yourself short fashion.

Yeah, that’s usually how I see it, or maybe just how I’ve always interpreted it.

A question can be a shower thought, especially if it’s a rhetorical question.

Not to mention, the Philosophical Raptor meme format is pretty much just interrogative shower thoughts

They have a lot of DRM-free options and let you download a clean epub, but like with other stores, it’s up to the publishers whether (and/or when) they can sell them without DRM BS.

I like being able to download the epubs directly so I can put them on my Calibre-web instance and pull them to my Kobo or my phone or whatever I want to read on.

I just use the webapp UI and don’t bother with the clients/extensions. Easy enough to just log in, copy/paste from there.

But yeah, the official client (and probably browser extension as well) would probably be forked if/when needed.

I use Vaultwarden

I used to watch that all the time when it was randomly on - never in the same timeslot, and I think the local network just used it as filler - but I always forget that it existed until someone randomly mentions it.

We had that show. It was called “Star Trek: Voyager” but she went by “Janeway”.

I’m about to have my house powered by fusion energy.

Nice. I’ve pretty much just used LibreTranslate for that, but will check that out and see if it works any better.

I’m not anti-AI, but I am very much anti Big AI and also don’t personally care for AI-generated images (they just look…uncanny to me), so I don’t have much interest in anything beyond the tools I can run locally.

Searching “AI” has a lot of false positives, but searching “llama” has some results at https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=llama

Back in the day, I worked in the corporate office for a retail clothing chain (IT department, so not down in the weeds), and I can’t speak for H&M like you gave as an example, but for the one I worked for we didn’t design anything.

We had a department of people called “buyers” who would work with various clothing vendors directly and wholesale bulk-purchase items for the stores. Their job was to basically figure out what was in style, what would sell, in which of our markets it would sell, and order them to stock in the stores. Not all stores carried the same styles/designs/whatever. e.g. We stocked college sports apparel only in markets near those colleges, our stores in warmer regions rarely carried winter apparel that we normally stocked in colder regions, etc.

I never really got the humor there, lol, but I’m lamenting the loss of 80s TV because I had a lot of good Golden Girls posts since I’m finally watching it for the first time.

My (limited) understanding is that there’s no straightforward way to do that at least in Lemmy.

You mean the images going down fairly regularly?

NGL, it’s kinda creepy.

Edit: I feel bad for the flippant answer, so here’s a more involved one.

If it’s just an academic curiosity, I can understand that. Like, if you’re just wondering what all the fuss is about and how some people get sucked in and all that. OTOH, if you’re just lonely and trying to fill that void, please don’t try to date an LLM.

Having seen you around and generally respecting your position on various things…

Not an answer to your question, merely an amusing anecdote, but Windows used to use a green screen (different shade though) to render videos.

“The media player program didn’t render the video pixels to the screen,” … Instead, Windows would render a green screen (or a different color, depending on the version), then “render the video pixels to a graphics surface shared with the graphics card.” The final step was to “tell the graphics card that whenever it sees a green pixel about to be written to the screen, it should substitute a pixel from that shared graphics surface.”

–Windows used to secretly use green screens to render videos, which is how you could trick MS Paint into becoming a video player
