themusicman@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.ml•Cloudflare's new marketplace will let websites charge AI bots for scraping23·9 months agoThem being able to offer this service, and them proxying 30% of the internet are completely unrelated. Any other company could offer this scrape protection if they wanted, with roughly the same cost of entry.

I do not want to eat the skin of old people!31·10 months agoTechnically yes, but a french crepe would be unidentifiable to someone who had only seen American pancakes
themusicman@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I'm working on a screenplay for a remake of Castaway, but I'm considering not using a volleyball this time.

themusicman@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do you know Q&A websites? If so, can you tell me?3·11 months agoYou literally asked a question and got answers… Seems like you found one?
themusicman@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you were a pasta, which one would you be and why?8·11 months agoShells. Because I’m less likely to get eaten.
Seriously though. Fuck shell pasta where they all stick together
Not sure whether timeshift supports multiple systems per partition, but I’d be very surprised if you couldn’t create separate partitions for each PC
My recollection of The Bear is that they ended up using a ring mold and serving it without the crust… Was there another scene I’ve forgotten about?

They provide .deb files. I didn’t hunt any further than that
You will be fine. I game on mint with an Nvidia card. Steam has a setting to fall back to proton for all games without native Linux, and for everything off steam use Lutris (install it from the website, since the package manager version is too old to be useful)
themusicman@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is a good eli5 analogy for GenAI not "knowing" what they say?3·1 year agoExactly. The brain is analogous to the room, not the person in it. Try removing a chunk of a brain and see how well it can “understand”
I’m not one of those people, and to be clear I support for-profit companies open sourcing code. Mozilla is a unique case where donations are a tiny fraction of their income and Firefox development is a tiny fraction of their expenses. I just want to donate directly to the parts I care about (Firefox, MDN).
