  Hi, former optician here, your glasses are probably fine quality wise but you should consider updating your Rx more often, at least every 2 years. Eyes change more than people tend to think they do, and since our lenses can be adjuated with muscles we often don’t notice when our vision begins to deteriorate.

  I have a total correction of about -3d in each eye, but if I dont put my glasses on in the morning I don’t need them and can go through my day normally. As soon as I put them on and am hit with the strain relied though I’m unable to go back to not wearing them for the rest of the day.

  Re: only on streaming

  In my experience it’s pretty cheap to get bootleg dvds imported. I’ve used eBay and walmart’s online store for getting 100% legit DVDs of things that definitely got physical editions.

  I got Andor 1 and 2, as well as Fallout this way, mostly because fuck The Mouse and Beef Jesus.

  I don’t think my Wii disc drive does anything but rip games nowadays, I can’t remember the last time I put in a disc to play the game on there.

  You can do the swap trick once to make a freepsxboot memory card now. It’s essentially a soft-modded ps1.

  Convenience is a 52x disc burner which can burn a disc in less than a minute

  Wisdom is burning at 1x anyway because it results in a higher quality burn

  (this may not apply to burning music, I usually burn PSX games)

  A tip for that: shake your fingers into the sink 12 times before drying. You should only need one paper towel this way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's nothing stopping you, from washing with a towel and drying with 20 wash cloths⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you shave your body hair you can probably get dry (other than your hair) with like 3 washcloths for most people. Isolating to the US its probably closer to 5 to handle the extra surface area. Maybe 6 if they’re out of shape enough to start sweating while they dry off.

  CSS is for StyleSheets (so yes layout and font but also more). Adding these features allows for more reactive/responsive styles where the style may be behaviorally defined instead of hardcoding styles.

  Basically the only thing I can think of to do with it is some kind of reactive layout that crunches some data and responds to it. IDK, I’m not a web dev and try to avoid CSS when I can.

  How are we meant to have these conversations if people keep complaining about the personification of LLMs without offering alternative phrasing? Showing up and complaining without offering a solution is just that, complaining. Do something about it. What do YOU think we should call the active context a model has access to without personifying it or overtechnicalizing the phrasing and rendering it useless to laymen, @neclimdul@lemmy.world?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Github Banned a Ton of Adult Game Developers and Won’t Explain Why⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I recommend giving the wikipedia page a quick looksie, especially the “Git Server” section.

  Git isn’t a service like you may be expecting, but git servers can be. GitHub, GitTea, GitLab, SourceForge, and Codeberg are all examples of such services, all of which can be used with the git tool.

  What is your problem with it? Just seems like an accessability feature to me. The one issue I see with it is folks who don’t need it using it in lieu of walkthroughs and wasting energy. I don’t expect that to be that big an issue though, generally people buy games because they want to play them.

  A Relatively recent gaming-type setup with local-ai or llama.cpp is what I’d recommend.

  I do most of my AI stuff with an rtx3070, but I also have a ryzen 7 3800x with 64gb RAM for heavy models where I don’t so much care how long it takes but need the high parameter count for whatever reason, for example MoE and agentic behavior.

  I know people are holding out for legit Steam OS, but Bazzite exists specifically for those people, who would prefer to hold out for Steam OS.

  Might be worth looking at, its not for tinkerers.

  I knew a guy who got imprisoned for murder, really nice guy, the way he described it was an armed robbery where the armed person got spooked and fired off a shot. They were arrested on the road while taking the victim to the hospital (they weren’t trying to hurt anyone) and ended up getting booked for murder and kidnapping.

  I met him a few years after he got out on paper.
