  Yeah no you’re just using the wrong words to describe your issue.

  Yeees, your obvious typo is totally invalidating my previous statement…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Logitech will brick its $100 Pop smart home buttons on October 15 - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes it is, because the HW is completely unnecessary, you can emulate it perfectly on a potato. It only serves a nostalgic purpose, which is also fine, but in all other aspects it is completely obsolete.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-powered CRISPR could lead to faster gene therapies, Stanford Medicine study finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No it doesn’t

  Yes you did

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Logitech will brick its $100 Pop smart home buttons on October 15 - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Except for a fairly tiny niche community of users still using them for nostalgia reasons, the NES is absolutely also ancient and obsolete in every way and has been for several decades.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Logitech will brick its $100 Pop smart home buttons on October 15 - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not them bricking it though. Yes it’s shitty build quality, but that is an entirely different issue than them bricking equipment that still is very much functional from a HW perspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh my fucking god people…I didn’t say you could claim you made something when using AI generated images. I claimed it still makes sense for some things because they hold pretty much no artistic value when made by humans already (like icons, stock images and logos)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, they’re not, never claimed they did. I said that what comes from it still holds value and is still subject to human approval in the end.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would honestly argue that the way an artist makes art is also completely irrelevant. The art is only meaningful in the way it’s perceived, how the artist physically makes it is of very little importance. The tools and materials are just a means to an end, it’s the finished product that inspires feelings and thoughts, not the process of how it came to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d argue it’s more like creating the menu, specifying the contents of the menu but having someone/thing else actually make the food.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s just colors and noise.

  But that’s exactly my point; logos, icons, stock images etc. are already nothing but noise meant to just catch the eye…might as well just get it auto-generated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But you still choose the final result…for something like that, the how is really quite irrelevant, it is just the end result that matters and that still remains in the hands of humans as they’re the ones to settle on the final solution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ender 3 v3 se y axis bearings loose in carrier.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When fixing a 3D printer always go for the proper solution right away, because you will eventually get tired of the wonky half-assed solution you’ve spent hours or days getting to perform properly and just go for the proper solution anyway. Save yourself the frustration, time, and wasted filament in failed prints and do it right the first time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s impressive technology, and I understand that it’s exciting, but it’s not art.

  I would add that a lot (most?) graphical elements we encounter in daily lives do not require art or soul in the least. Stock images on web pages, logos, icons etc. are examples of graphical elements that are IMO perfectly fine to use AI image generation for. It’s the menial labour of the artist profession that is now being affected by modern automation much like so many other professions have. All of them resisted so of course artists resist too.

  It sure isn’t legally public available either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone Is Sending Fake Letters To T-Mobile Customers Shaming Their Browsing History⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  T-mobile customer names and addresses

  I’m not the person who posted the widget issue, but IME many FOSS solutions (not just weather-related) are more often than not aesthetically/UX crap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can either buy an app or pay with your data.

  No this implies you get a choice, which you don’t. You can get it for free and sell your data, or you can pay for it…and still also sell your data. The real money is in the data, they won’t give that up…ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is my stepper motor failing?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It definitely sounds like a fan scraping on something. it also seems to be triggered by the extruder changing direction, but only briefly as it jerks. Have you checked fan bearings in the hotend and part cooling? Or just something as simple as parts being tightened properly?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FFS Plex, the server is on my local network⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no trust that lifetime is in fact lifetime, and the price is also too high compared to the product value IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨European banks to launch euro stablecoin in bid to counter US dominance⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There will be the exact same level of surveillance, it’s still just run by banks so there’s no difference there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨European banks to launch euro stablecoin in bid to counter US dominance⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This just sounds like a regular bank transfer to another European bank…input recipient in your self-service online banking and press “transfer”…beep boop done.

  I refuse to support companies with subscription based business models.

  The free tier limitation is that it doesn’t work with jellyfin

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FFS Plex, the server is on my local network⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Jeælyfin also has this, is just doesn’t work on appleTV

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FFS Plex, the server is on my local network⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Year that’s the one I’m using on our appleTV, it’s buggy as hell. “Continue” show often doesn’t work and picks an episode that I’ve watched long ago and not the next in line, often never updating it despite watching several episode over several weeks. Switching language on shows pretty much doesn’t work at all, it will either never change from default audio language, or use an entirely different language than the one picked from the list.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FFS Plex, the server is on my local network⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there something better than jellyfin? I’ve been using it for a little over a year, and it works for the most part, but clients are often pretty buggy (especially on apple apple devices)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting I have had the exact opposite experience with my leaf 2. I’ve had it for almost 3 years now, never in a case, just drop it in my bag loose with everything else. Not a scratch on the screen at all and it just works. But yeah, since I’ve had literally zero issues I cannot speak to the quality of customer service, I haven’t needed them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is some authors signing exclusivity deal with Amazon

  Well then those authors can go straight to corpo-sellout hell and die a painfully death, I’d rather never read a book again than buy from amazon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Boox is even easier than kobo, all you need to do is…nothing at all. It just accepts all formats with no lockdown out of the box.
