as long as you have access to the boot drive everything’s fine, just varying degrees of painful to rectify.

local AI models are a thing you know, just run this on a computer with no internet access and you’ll swiftly see whether it relies on servers or not.

ironically that raises your chances of getting to smash astronomically

well yeah, deep rock galactic is a video game, not a movie

duh

i understand the appeal as a minigame, like it’s literally a minigame in Deep Rock Galactic, but the fact that people genuinely play it as its own game is… bro just play minesweeper

running linux is a great way to automatically filter out most of the shit games, if it won’t even run in proton then you generally have to be doing some bullshit with the code and thus aren’t worth my time and certainly not my money.

wouldn’t you then just break it up into chunks of 72 bytes, hash them individually, and concatenate the hashes? And if that’s still too long, split the hash into 72 byte chunks and repeat until it’s short enough?

every time they look at their food bowl, regardless of how full it is

gods, imagine saying this to a normal user

“what the fuck is a file?”

snapping your cats in half is NOT okay!

you hear that said about AI because companies are desperately throwing more and more resources at it to get 0.3% better results, and people are collectively running an insane amount of prompts all the time.

but on a personal level it’s not really any different from any other computations, people render videos all the time and no one complains about the resource usage from that, because companies aren’t trying to sell bloated video rendering services to gardening businesses.

google currents sounds like some sort of phenomenon, like an ocean current that pushes stuff onto the shore where we discover it.

or, you know, just put a black bar over it so the information is just completely gone from the image?

scribbling over is never going to actually work, the information is still there for anyone who wants to extract it. It’s like shouting over someone instead of just getting them to shut up.

i’m not saying that neurodivergent people are “gifted”, i’m saying that the term “gifted” is a euphemism and i don’t like the term.

It’s a way to ignore the issue of people being different and needing individualized treatment, instead saying that they’re “gifted” as if they’re just blessed by god to do better in school, which is a toxic idea.

We shouldn’t call kids “gifted” and give them the next year’s textbook, we should recognize that it’s extremely likely they’re neurodivergent and need a diagnosis and different adjustments depending on the person. One person might just need a separate room to study in, one person might need permission to sit in the back with headphones on listening to music, one might need an extra teacher who personally helps them out.

i mean, “gifted” is basically doublespeak for “on the neurodivergence spectrum” and society just fucking hates neurodivergent people.
It’s not really that we’re aware of our deficiencies, it’s that society makes us feel bad for things that are completely natural and should be viewed as sidegrades mostly.
