- Comment on Damn 3 days ago:
Yep. I take content from there and post it in Lemmy whenever I can.
- Comment on Damn 3 days ago:
And that's okay. That's one of the points for fiction.
It was either just today or yesterday, at some point in the near past, where I read a post of someone bemoaning on reddit (I know I know. Skewer me all you want) the trope of the tall boyfriend coupled with short girlfriend. Got down voted and plenty of post saying that's real also.
Anecdotally, I can confirm that's how my brother-in-law and my sister are lol.
- Comment on Sam Altman admits OpenAI ‘totally screwed up’ its GPT-5 launch and says the company will spend trillions of dollars on data centers 1 week ago:
Someone I know (not close enough to even call an "internet friend") formed a sadistic bond with chatGPT and will force it to apologize and admit being stupid or something like that when he didn't get the answer he's looking for.
I guess that's better than doing it to a person I suppose.
- Comment on There's a YouTube channel called "Touhou Fan Radio" as the name suggests it is a Touhou Radio made by a fan for fans. 1 week ago:
Hmm, I noticed my browser replaced the @ with %40 and truncated the channel name somehow.
Probably whatever youtube forwarding method is breaking things?

Your link doesn't seem to work anymore, but is it this one? https://www.youtube.com/@TouhouFanRadio/featured
- Comment on YSK about Changing your Profile Picture to Clippy 2 weeks ago:
I agree, as someone that was forced to use W11 work laptop. It also save states of the tabs open as long as you don't close the tabs and close the windows itself.
This is probably just MS catching up to plenty other FOSS programs though.

It's not more well known for now because the API and integration is still in alpha testing.

The other thing about all this. I don't tend to "just" watch
anime these days. I put anime on while I'm doing other
things. But I can't read subs and do other things at the
same time. The result of all that is mostly that I watch
less anime than I used to. I spend more of my time
watching St that is natively in English thatIcan most-
listen-to and glance at every few minutes. (hey that's me too. i put up videos I'm slightly interested in to be noise and sometimes pay attention to, so it has to be English for me.
it's basically tradition now for me to just watch anime subbed.
so no anime in that role. besides I'd like to pay more attention to anime most of the time.

I wish we could have gotten a sequel to the live action movie.
I also need her balisong sword as a balisong knife replica.
- Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette 5 weeks ago:
I confess that I don't have the money to frequently donate and fund the services that I use (if they allow to donate) and recognize long time ago ads would be an okay alternative. but like everyone said, ads just became a lot more cancerous and have to block it. despite the shortcomings of the FBI, even they advise to use adblockers.
though I guess I just have to suck it up and donate once in a while as well.

a nuclear passion. I like that. surprised I never came across this phrase before lol

but it's icky to say its name 🥺🥺🥺
joking aside, I'd wager it's reddit

i still have a 808 Pureview. needs a new battery but otherwise I could flash a CFW for it to keep using it as a point and shoot camera lol
- Comment on Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop! 1 month ago:
I thought I was smart going back to a video that featured two USB C cable testers. I onky watched the video and didnt check or paid attention what the brand was.
They are, in fact, these exact two brands.
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 1 month ago:
Thanks. Starting easy is fine. At least I now have a place to start from.
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 1 month ago:
I honestly don't see much from the comms I follow (and it's a lot thanks to piefed topics), and when I do browse all, if I find a post from a comm that allows them, I either ignore it or block the comm, for example a genAI art comms.
Idk, lemmy, mbin, piefed, etc isn't reddit with algorithms so it's kind of on the user if they see a lot of it, IMO.
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 1 month ago:
All of those use AI as a way to filter and group information
Is there any resource I can read on or start from that's useful for the average person? Just pointers so I don't go on slop rabbit holes which I'm sure there are a lot of.

Ooh that's pretty neat. I'll have to see how to set up listenbrainz.

Oh yeah I knew of last.fm but haven't checked it out in years. Pretty sure I checked Spotify to scrobble to it.
Have to see how to scrobble to last.fm when I cut out Spotify and idk play local music on my phone and computer.

Bandcamp and SoundCloud does sound better for smaller artists as I understand. Alas I still listen to big artists.

What's the difference between musicbrainz and listenbrainz?
- Comment on If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently? 1 month ago:
Definitely counts for me. I'm deep up to my eyes into vtubers and that's why I use YouTube for theor originals and covers. Some of the indie ones can't/ won't put their originals on Spotify or other major music platform and just YouTube.

Really should step into a library again. Last I went to one is during college 10 or more years ago lol.
Good suggestion on local community radio. I'll have to see if there's one in my country/state.

I wish the bigger international bands i listen to would come to my country often. But then it would cost a lot.
But I get you though. I am friends with a weekend band that also has friends with other more "serious" underground bands. Been going to more and more gigs and helping out and actually discovered more songs and bands like this.
