The only trouble is, that’s exactly why they would refuse to adopt GNU Taler.

And then there’s a follow-up scene the next day, where George tells “Calvin Klein” about the encounter.
Having George retell it worked way better than showing it directly, IMO.
The part that was actually in the released movie ends at 0:45. (You can also tell by the fact that the audio/video very obviously changes to daily footage at that point.)
See also the scene afterward where George tells “Calvin” about the encounter, which IMO worked way better than actually showing the rest of it:
If you can’t quote every line from memory, clearly you need to watch the whole trilogy again.


Your attitude is very reasonable. I strive to be as unreasonable as I can.

I will reject the misbehaving website rather than resort to using Chromium.


If this shit is what “ahead” looks like, I’m happy being “behind.”


Like when you run apt install some-package who says that some-package doesn’t contain malware?
The Debian (or Ubuntu) package maintainer says that. Having an application package available in a distro’s official repository is an endorsement of the safety of that package.
This is something people need to appreciate before they go adding PPAs and flatpaks and whatnot willy-nilly.

I’ve been on Lemmy too long, because this is starting to sound like a double entendre.


Too bad ChatGPT lacks the self-awareness (let alone any actual reasoning skills whatsoever) to appreciate it.


I’m well aware of the meme. You used it inappropriately.


It’s not. it’s a completely different set of steps (at least at runtime). The Venn diagram circles don’t touch.


If your training data has a pixelated circle as an input and a circle as output, your neural network will “upscale” your pixelated circle to a circle. If your training data has a pixelated circle as input and a high definition pie as output, your neural network will “upscale” your pixelated circle to a high definition pie. Even if it’s the same algorithm in both cases.


it’s applying advanced lighting methods like subsurface scattering to make materials more lifelike.
It is not. It is approximating the results of training data consisting of output images that have been rendered with subsurface scattering. It isn’t actually running the subsurface scattering algorithm.


It’s not yet been decided what monetary damages, if any, will result from the ruling, nor is it clear if Subnautica 2’s release will be affected.
Sounds to me like fair damages would start with removing Unknown Worlds from Krafton’s ownership.
To be fair, it’s plausible. They might not have wanted a home inspector writing up “low water pressure” as a potential problem. 'Course, the inspector might write “water splashes out of the sink” as a problem instead, but that at least is more straightforward to solve, rather than being possibly indicative of a bigger hidden problem.


Pop!_OS uses COSMIC (a modified GNOME), not KDE.
Linux Mint uses Cinnamon (a modified GNOME 3) or MATE (a modified GNOME 2), not KDE.
The answer to “why not Debian” is that I try to install Debian first every time, but if it doesn’t work for whatever reason I grab Kubuntu instead of trying to troubleshoot it. 3 of the 4 desktop computers I’ve tried to install Linux on lately ended up with Kubuntu instead of Debian.
(For my personal desktop that tends to have a bleeding-edge graphics card at the time of building/installing, that’s understandable. For the other computers, for other members of my family who don’t need the latest and greatest, Debian’s failure to support several-year-old hardware – at least in the installation environment, without fiddling – was less forgivable.)
Yeah, hostile design (or “hostile architecture,” which is the more searchable term) is like IRL enshittification: it’s not just when it’s bad, it’s when it’s intentionally bad in order to serve some goal other than fulfilling the needs of the user.
The most common example is a bench with an armrest in the middle so that homeless people can’t (easily/comfortably) sleep on it.

EFSE has only 450 people giving recurring donations (using credit card or direct debit, at least)?! Never mind the payment processor bullshit, why aren’t more of y’all donating?
