I know the Windows vs Linux thing is like beating a dead horse, but I use both, and the Linux machine never gets slow like Windows does. Windows does so much crap in the background that you and I don’t need want or care about, and Linux just does what it’s told when it’s told. Give it a try if you’re feeling adventurous.

Now software bloat has caught up to the gains we’ve made in hardware and we’re back to it taking 15 seconds to load a word processor.

The loading screens omg

I put hundreds of hours into that game and loved all 15 of them I spent actually playing

I’m sure it’s all just courteous white hat pen testing

I am in the same exact boat. The PS5 is the media machine for us upstairs. I would switch to jellyfin if there was a PS5 client. Glad I’m not alone on this.

Does anyone know of other text-to-3d models out there that are free and open source? I have a heck of a 3d printing hobby, and would love to generate some 3d models from prompts, clean them up, and then 3d print them.

I’m guessing they’re using AI to identify and remember vehicles, read license plates, etc. surely they’re not using it for subtraction and division.

OpenAI’s Yahoo! moment. In a decade it’ll be worthless.

If it’s God’s eye and Jesus’s wheel, then who does this shift stick belong to?

I’ll take your pennies!

You’re making ME feel old. I remember having to go over my friend’s house to play multiplayer.

Honestly I print out anything my little kiddo does at school on his Chromebook, and some stuff has black backgrounds. I got tired of wasting toner so I made a script that would print a negative screenshot if it’s a dark image. One keystroke and I get what I want

If someone started a blog site called “Tumbler” or a gay dating app called “Grinder” you could totally understand the conflict, couldn’t you. Listen, I went through this. I started a site whose name had a word that was similar to a famous trademark, and got a very similar cease and desist letter. I chose to change the name, and be candid about it, and I’ve been successful with it ever since. Just my $0.02, but I’d choose a new name you like and then register and trademark it like I did.

When I press Super + PrtSc, a bash script performs the following:

Takes a screenshot of the entire desktop (import -window root) and saves it as ~/screenshot.png…

Analyzes the screenshot to calculate the “mean brightness” value of the image. It converts the image to grayscale and determines the average pixel brightness (a value between 0 and 1, where 0 is black and 1 is white).

Checks if the image is dark by comparing the mean brightness to a threshold of 0.2. If the mean brightness is less than 0.2 (i.e., the image is very dark), it applies a negative filter to the image (convert -negate), effectively inverting the colors (black becomes white and vice versa).

Sends the image to a printer (lp command) named MF741C-743C for printing.

That was a supremely enlightening explanation! I’m installing bluefin in a vbox to check it out and ordering a new SSD. Thank you!

Thank you very much for the recommendations! Out of curiosity, what are the benefits of using say bluefin over just plain fedora? I should also add that I prefer a long term support installation because I don’t reinstall very often. Thanks again

Looks like the common edition is outdated, but for the curious: https://wiki.astralinux.ru/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=37290417

I can’t wait to see more of this TEMU SR-71

It’s not a hybrid, it’s an EREV. There is a small gasoline generator that can recharge the batteries while driving to extend the range. This is very different from a hybrid which has a gasoline engine that drives the drivetrain, and electric motors to drive the vehicle under low acceleration and for relatively short distances.

I can’t believe it’s been 100 days, why is time flying by?? I love your posts, keep them coming!
