391·5 days agoThis video was what convinced me to start up a Jellyfin server last month. It’s fantastic. The peace of mind knowing that I have all my media stored locally, forever, is so satisfying.

25·10 days agoI’ve wondered about those. I always assumed they’d just show the down votes by others with the same extension.

18·13 days agoYour PC that you found in the trash has better specs than the first one I installed Linux on a few months ago as a newbie: 770, maybe an i5.
Pop OS was super user friendly for a new user and handled drivers and everything really well for me. I’ve only played some less intense games from my steam library, but I’m not noticing any severe lag. I bet it could handle retro gaming/emulation easily.

16·16 days agoI like it. The whole thing is a tragedy about bickering over petty human power-struggles while eventually being overtaken by the problem you should have been working together against. Bring Peter Dinklage back in to narrate something to that effect over the scenes of the whitewalkers rampaging. Series sort of salvaged.

10·16 days agoIt’s such a shame, because it was so fun for a while. It was culturally dominant in a way no fantasy TV show has ever been.

91·16 days agoRecently I was wondering if I could apply that reasoning to Game of Thrones. I haven’t watched it since that trainwreck of an ending.

3·17 days agoPeople have given you good resources, so I’ll just speak to the second part: I switched a few months ago, and it has been surprisingly easy. I’m just… doing normal computer things like I used to on windows. Even gaming.

18·18 days agoThat’s not a bad description of the 80s in general, lol
This specifically makes me so much more likely to buy a product.
Here’s a recent one:

Oh. Oh no…
Not my meme, but I have read stories of multiple people trying this and failing spectacularly. It wouldn’t surprise me if this actually happened.

5·23 days agoIt’s such weird behavior. I was troubleshooting something yesterday and asked an AI about it, and it gave me the solution that it claims it has used for the same issue for 15 years. I corrected it “You’re not real and certainly were not around 15 years ago”, and it did the whole “you’re right!” thing, but then also immediately went back to speaking the same way.

4·23 days agoI once saw a list of instructions being passed around that were intended to be tacked on to any prompt: e.g. “don’t speculate, don’t estimate, don’t fill in knowledge gaps”
But you’d think it would make more sense to add that into the weights rather than putting it in your prompt and hoping it works. As it stands, it sometimes feels like making a wish on the monkey paw and trying to close a bunch of unfortunate cursed loopholes.
