Well, I originally saw both Blair Witch and H20 played from really dark and messy VHS copies of theater recordings… And man, let me tell ya, they were both way better as low quality cams that HD movies!
I intentionally watch bad Horror as cams now, when I can, even decades later… It really adds to the experience!
Does this mean epubs won’t stop and require a new page to load at the end of chapters / new file segments?
It’s one of my biggest gripes switching from mobi single file ebooks to epub multi-file ebooks.
Should just append the next file and allow the flow to continue.
Been waiting for such a change for epub reading apps for many years.
Update: OMG yes, it works! (Not by default, scroll mode must be opted-in first via 3-dot menu)
Now I can maintain the same scroll while reading habits I do for online content, PDFs, and Mobi files while reading ePubs! Bout damn time!
This is now my default ebook reader everywhere!
Well, it certainly looks like it rained. Where are the missiles? Is that LA?
Spoiler alert:
That side story, like the others, helps increase the absurdity of the overall story, to show that not only the time traveling bit is unrealistic, the entire story and all it’s parts are. Each party had a story that was equally absurd before the crazy time traveler showed up, but they were all still at that diner acting like they were still in the real world… It’s kinda like a snowball, the stories kinda ramp up to the conclusion, and they all tell different stories through the same lense in order to get there. Then it pulls from all those stories at the end to flip the script.
It was really well done.
I like the idea of a system add-on that randomizes all user age responses with a different date that equals like 25-99years old (assuming 25 years meets the highest age for the applicable standards).
Not too dissimilar from a random MAC address generating feature.
SOs HP laptop borked Win11pro OS, wouldn’t load or recover. Tried reinstalling clean but Win11 installer can’t see SSD. Driver loading during install results in install crashing error.
Linux, here we come.
Why do they last more than a year?
Why do they exist at all?
Meh, far as I’m concerned they can still talk about all these events and facts but they should always do so in a positive and celebratory manner.
Not, this site remembers whatever genocide, but instead, this site remembers the soldiers/citizens who faught against a ruthless group who were at the time commiting genocidal acts against indigenous people… You don’t even need to name the group of assholes. But it’s fine to specifically name the heros and their heroic acts.
Perhaps post education signs that talk about positive changes to an area.
Like in 1998 John Soandso lead a campaign to restore the area you see before you to the healthy natural state it’s in today. Because of that campaign bla bla birds and native plants have returned to the area over the years since. Previous to John’s campaign the area had been heavily over polluted by nearby industrial factories.
Keep any of the bad stuff referenced as a relevant afterthought. Use the good stuff as examples of what to do, of people to look up to.
I saw some similar signs in NC last time I went through, like the ones celebrating the life of a master builder in area who had helped build many of the still standing historic building. Oh yeah, he was also black and a slave, but that wasn’t the point, so it was just kinda noted within the context of the details of his life… Instead the sign celebrated his craft and contributions to the community.
Whatever man.
I change up my writing style pretty much constantly.
And I switch between muliple accounts on several services, each representing a different fictional character.
And I use a VPN.
Yeah, was pretty sure it was something like that…
I used AI to make a Home Alone themed digital Christmas card last year. It was completely PG. But it was a nightmare to do as I kept tripping over gates on account of Kevin being a child and Home Alone being a copyrighted property.
I went all the way to the dark end of the AI gen spectrum, to where kiddie porn abdolutely happens, but the product I produced there was unsatisfactory. So I went alI went back to the top players with all the gates and worked around them by reworking my prompts for what seemed like forever.
1 year earlier I would’ve gotten the results I wanted with my first prompt, maybe tweaking fonts for the words, fixing spelling errors, or making minor visual features. 5min tops.
It really turned me off from continuing to play with AI.
Those gates have gotten really nasty.
It’s as though users are treated as guilty in advance and then denied the opportunity to prove themselves innocent.
Completely backwards attitude and practice.
Oh, Costco is in the stone ages still in a lot of ways, it’s pretty unsettling sometimes. But also using tried and true methods and waiting decades to adopt modern tech saves a ton of cash… Which doesn’t just benefit the stock holders when you’re a company like Costco.
Go in in person on a weekday before 3pm and sign up at the service desk.
I have upgraded to USB-C headphones…
But, years ago I got a handful of USB-C to 3.5mm adapters as manufacturers were starting to discontinue the 3.5mm jacks by default.
I was of course used to needing a USB adapter for headphones because I had a RAZR v3 for many years, which I also used as an mp3 player. I believe it only had a micro USB port.
Holding out for them 100tb NVME SSDs!
AI@home baby!
I called it many years ago.
Wish I found somebody dumb enough to bet money against it. I’d be, like, dollars richer maybe.
Wasn’t 7 just an visually updated NT.
Wish granted ~wiggles nose~
It’s actually weird he didn’t just name it. Health issues aren’t the best thing to keep secret. I mean I suppose some might be embarrassing, but cancers aren’t something to hide or feel guilty about.
The more people know, the more that can do.
Him naming it woulda probably encouraged people to learn about it, and may have helped some identify that they had it to.
Not naming it left it open to speculation, so that’s gonna happen, nothing wrong with it at all.
Just connect USB-C headphones, or use a USB-C to 3.5mm audio dongle.
The audio jack isn’t needed anymore. The only real downsides of USB-C are that you can’t charge while listening, less wirelessly, and it’s more wear and tear for the port, but that’s unlikely to matter.
Seems aight, I’m fine with FF ATM though.
I do keep alternates around for rare issues, so when helium is out of beta if it ever is, I may install it.
She should just donate all the profits going forward, and focus on making sure anything on the platform is legit consensual sex work and not people being forced into it. Not that I think that happens a lot, but she sounds like she’d be up for improving the system to better know for sure, and provide better support and resources for sex workers in general.
