As a preface, I used to do this a lot on Reddit. My hobby (sounds odd) was to make a little old-school-blog-style post, detailing what I found interesting in gaming in the last week or so. I got a name for it, for a time, but having long-since abandoned reddit I thought I might try the same thing here, if you’ll indulge me!

Happy to have you posting!

That’s a good way to make some of us dedicate the energy to building and flashing custom firmware.

Is this an ASD thing? That would make a lot of sense for my own behavior, if so.

Meanwhile republicans don’t even criticize their own for committing crimes so they continue to win elections.

I think that’s a pretty bad takeaway. Republicans and other authoritarians oppose criticism of leadership, requiring obedience. That’s not something to aim for, IMO.

I’m betting that it can drive 250Ω headphones. Verifying.

EDIT: Yup. DT990s actually doing pretty decent.

EDIT 2: Not that I expect that OOP has actually nice-sounding and comfortable cans (the latter, along with repairability, is the reason that I have em in the first place), since they referred to them as “audiophile” headphones.

Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. The general inaccuracy/untrustworthiness of LLMs makes me very uncomfortable in their use for data processing and transformations. I’d rather take a while to get it right than to potentially hand off a CSV with glaring problems due to use of an LLM.

“make all the dates in this CSV iso-8601”

This is a use of AI/LLM processing that I could agree with, if it could be trusted. Since it cannot, better to open in vim and regex replace, or process with Python.

That said, I’d rather store as epoch and display as ISO-8601 as the arithmetic is much less prone to error in epoch than any other format.

1950s American recipes are indeed horrifying. I’ve got an excellent vintage Good Housekeeping cookbook (none of the recipes are the best but it gives a wide gamut of basics to refer to, if needed). There is a section including aspics, which is just awful.

Is karma even a thing on Lemmy? Anyone? No? Yes? Ok, it doesn’t matter, I’ll take the hit if I have to

No, it is not. Upvotes and downvotes mainly just impact post and comment sorting. Karma on platforms like Reddit was good in theory but, was heavily gamed by bad actors to fake perceived authenticity.

By design. Karma on Reddit, while good in theory, did not hold up against bad actors.

I (potentially) got you.

Then they shouldn’t have taken a federal judge seat. It’s like sitting in the exit row of an aircraft; if you’re not willing to carry out your responsibility when shit gets hard, you shouldn’t be taking the position in the first place.

it’s ok for people to profit off of their IP

Absolutely. I just have trust issues with closed source software and platforms. Burned too many times.

When your education revolves around dehumanizing people and turning them into abstract numbers, it’s not that far of a leap, unfortunately.

Those who produce MBAs at it again.

Not sure if reddit gives you all that power

It does not. Was one of the reasons that I abandoned it when they blocked third party clients. I resent being forced to view right-wing propaganda, rage-bait, and ads as well as being forced to short by opaque algorithms that are clearly intended to manipulate.

I’m amazed at your persistence. 🥄

You can literally block instances as a user on Lemmy and have been able to do so good quite some time. No need to run your own instance.

Yup. The context on this is directly profiting off of others’ work, not setting data free.

I agree with you there. Context is what makes it theft and using the stolen data to attempt to directly compete with the source is where the actual harm occurs.

In a scenario where the source of the data is not being harmed, it’s hard to think of it as theft (data/information wants to be free).
