PSA: Ten Forward is the new Risa https://lemmy.world/c/tenforward
Not watching, I cut the cord to avoid commercials. But OTA + antenna , as others said, is a solid way to watch network content for free if you can get a good signal.
I think you should spend more time using AI programming tools. That would let you see how primitive they really are in their current state and learn how to leverage them for yourself.
I agree, sosodev. I think it would be wise to at least be aware of modern A.I.'s current capabilities and inadequacies, because honestly, you gotta know what you’re dealing with.
If you ignore and avoid A.I. outright, every new iteration will come as a complete surprise, leaving you demoralized and feeling like shit. More importantly, there will be less time for you to adapt because you’ve been ignoring it when you could’ve been observing and planning. A.I. currently does not have that advantage, OP. You do.
Hey fuckface, that’s my friend you’re talking to. Take your hate speech bullshit somewhere else and go fuck yourself.
Support your local plumber!
Ah, yes, that’s correct, thank you. Your cpu/gpu must support it, or it won’t play.
Huh, there’s a term for that? TIL
Y’know, there’s a similar one used in the gemstone industry: “eye clean,” which only applies if the stone has no inclusions (artifacts) that can be seen with the naked eye. As you can imagine, it’s usually a pretty desirable trait, especially in diamonds. It doesn’t really matter if there’s random garbage floating around in it, it just has to be undetectable to our human eyes.
I was curious, so I looked it up. AV1 is more efficient than HEVC by like 28%! On the downside, encoding is horrifically slooow. It’ll be interesting to see how much hardware support AV1 gets in the coming years, because encoding time will have a dramatic effect on its adoption rate.
Interesting to note: AV1 can be played in Kodi, Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, VLC, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. So on the software side, it’s pretty widely supported.
Sorry, doesn’t look like it supports AV1:
Video Playback
Supported formats include HEVC, MV‑HEVC, H.264, HDR with Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG
Hello David, Nate, Josh, Marco, Carl, and Niccolò. How are you all feeling today?
From what I’ve seen, I sincerely think you’ll like it at Beehaw. They’re an ok bunch of progressive folks who refuse to let it become a nazi bar. I can get behind that. Have fun!
I feel your pain, ugh. Setting up certain types of software can be a pain in the ass because there’s almost always dependencies that need to be set up first; in addition, it’s not always clear what you’re supposed to install or how to do it the right way. A lot of Linux-related documentation out there isn’t geared towards beginners and leaves out a lot of important explanatory and contextual information, which just makes it more frustrating. Unnecessarily, in my opinion.
However, I gotta mention that Ubuntu - though widely used - is sorta notorious for being user unfriendly and isn’t always the most appropriate choice for a beginner Linux user. If anyone reading this is thinking about trying Linux for the first time, I would consider Linux Mint. It’s a Linux distro that is actually based on Ubuntu (which is based on Debian), but it works “out of the box” better than most and should be a positive experience for most users. It’s pretty solid.
So would you say that vaccines are still needed for all, or just for people like me who are immunosuppressed?
Vaccines are needed for all, as in everyone who is eligible for inoculation. Yes, if I am vaccinated, my body will be much better equipped to successfully fight off the virus and keep me out of the hospital (and the morgue)…but in doing so, I also contribute to the overall herd immunity, which protects people who have pre-existing conditions, cannot be safely inoculated, or have immune system issues. If I don’t get vaccinated, I don’t just put myself at risk; if I get covid (which isn’t always obvious because it doesn’t always present physical symptoms, aka I could be a carrier), I also risk infecting everyone I come in contact with, which endangers people like you.
I’m sensing high levels of Big Douchebag Energy
Also, most everyone missed OP’s gripe lol. No worries, brah! “Don’t dead open inside,” I hear ya.
I believe you are correct. They seem to get off on it too.
Oh, careful, they’re gonna ask you to provide proof, and then they’re gonna focus on a single detail that prooves how wrong your “lib” views are. Distraction complete, mission accomplished, that’ll show you!!!
It’s always a lame nitpick, anything to distract from what their asshole hero is doing. Deflect, deflect, deflect. It would be boring if it wasn’t so awful.
It’s really shitty that he is using your existence as a gross political prop. It is obvious he’s feeding the fire on purpose with the “all Jews = Israelis” propaganda, and jfc it feels surreal and ridiculous to even have to say that out loud. I’m sorry this is happening, I don’t know if it’s of any consolation but there are many who know this is wrong and resist alongside you.
Pat, I’d like to solve the puzzle.
Cups!
