I like what this project is trying to do, self hosted security cameras need to be more accessible to get people to stop using corporate spyware.

I looked at it, it’s a handful of channels representing broad genres, an hour or two in length, with commentary. That is not a substitute for a personalized music stream. It still wouldn’t be with a wider selection; I tried mixcloud for a while, it doesn’t work for me, there are no channels that give me just the music I want to hear in a wide enough variety, it’s too much work searching through them, I’d rather skip the commentary and not have to find something new every hour.

Not that I use spotify, what I ended up doing is writing my own script to scrape bandcamp and use its recommendation features to get associations between albums and assign probability weights to them for what to play next based on what I have liked and disliked. Aside from being buggy and against tos so probably can’t publish, I’m pretty happy with it. Algorithmic streaming is a much more convenient way of listening to and discovering music, and I don’t expect many people to switch away from it.

This, the main thing I want from music software is an infinite stream of background music with a personalization algorithm to select new songs I’ll probably like. Most of the suggestions people are giving don’t really work as a substitute for that.

Looks like this amounts to including this software by default: https://github.com/aaif-goose/goose. An openclaw esque sort of thing? Some worrying design choices:

By default, goose can run system commands with your user privileges and edit any accessible file without your approval. This is because goose runs in Autonomous permission mode by default and has access to the Developer extension’s shell and file editing tools.

Some games can take 10 years to make, someone should start now

Biggest thing I like about mail in voting, you can do research as you fill it out

Wow thanks

Probably depends on the cat, I had a cat that wouldn’t always eat what he hunted, but the rest would get dissected and the body parts organized in creepy ways, don’t think he was letting any go for lack of hunger

Get a 3090

It’s a great game, doesn’t pull punches with its social commentary and actually has something to say. If you don’t play it you should at least listen to the soundtrack which is amazing on its own.

I watched most of a playthrough of it. I don’t agree with most of the criticisms people have that are about disliking the characters and their motivations, and a lot of things about it seem competently done, but what I don’t like about it is how it comes off as a pandering corporate slop take on a certain kind of indie game. Maybe people should play games like Night in the Woods before this.

Even if they did use AI for it, I think they would need to use a technique to adjust someone else’s voice acting performance to sound more like him rather than straight TTS which wouldn’t be good enough on its own. But if they’re going to do that, might as well write a new narrator into the lore for a new game instead, that would be more interesting anyway.

I assume there’s some context for why there is an argument to begin with between whether to prompt for markdown vs html, and what this is actually for

The support page both refer to seems to be real though? https://support.google.com/recaptcha/answer/16609652?hl=en

Does what it’s saying mean that Google Play Services is required to pass their captchas on mobile?

Edit: Found a comment in the Reddit thread from someone claiming to have seen one of these captchas in the wild, which supposedly does do this check but is easily bypassed:

Got good news, I just had this captcha. As you can see in the image there is an audio and an eye icon at the bottom. We can protest against this captcha by clicking the eye and doing the original one. As long as a substantial amount of people keep doing that I assume it wont’ go away.

Last time I did a major upgrade was a few years ago, got a new motherboard/cpu/ram because the old stuff was broken in some way that was causing weird problems. Glad I got that and some additional drives bought before all the current craziness. Before that it was a better GPU. So every few years I guess.

From the article:

He’d like to move into construction — siding, roofing, interior work — but the sector’s downturn has narrowed his options at the worst possible time.

I don’t know but I want a browser layer that lies about it and then renders the page in a way that doesn’t send back more information, and I think it would probably work and only be slightly buggy.

Some stuff has to be reported accurately for stuff to work well, like screen size

Ah yes, CSS, the famously serverside technology

How slanderous

Combustion products are always bad for your lungs, but cigarettes supposedly have stuff in them that is uniquely bad and especially carcinogenic.
