The first time I saw one of his comics I really thought it was AI as well. The yellow tint was part of it, but I think another part is the background and foreground not matching. Another thing that stood out was just the amount of detail, felt way more effort than most web comics.
It really is too bad for the artists, he clearly puts a ton of work into these, and it no doubt hurts to have others undercut that.
There are definitely still ads, I’m not talking about the creator inserted ones, but there is a banner that loves popping up that says “view products”, directing users away from the video to a list of products where Google gets a cut of the sales. And lately, I’ve been getting ads for Paramount Plus videos in the middle of my feed. Oh, and then there is putting “Member Only” videos in my feed attempting to upsell me on memberships to creators.
Those are all 100% controlled by Google.
They do far better today than they did three years ago, but they still get stuff wrong constantly. I’ve had it give me the source for claims, and the source says the exact opposite of what it claimed. This isn’t a quantized to hell model running on my own hardware, but Opus from Claude.
My go to is to get people to ask it something they know a lot about, and see how bad inaccurate it is. If it gets something you know about so wrong, how wrong is it for everything else?
Probably true. It is the global trend. Although they may follow the same curve as the US, despite booming renewables, coal is being replaced with Natural Gas more than solar and wind. That’s more for political reasons though. Solar and wind continue to get cheaper, and grid storage is finally starting to pan out.
As others have pointed out, it’s not that coal use is decreasing, in fact, it is increasing. It’s that other sources are growing much faster. They don’t have to “juke” the numbers, just lie with statistics.
Welcome! I know it can be confusing at first.
FYI, Lemmy, MBin/KBin, and Piefed are all different servers. People often say Lemmy when they mean threadiverse as a whole. It’s kinda like email though, even if you use gmail, I can email you from yahoo. The interface may vary a little, but the core function is the same.
As bbbbbbbbbbb said, every state not only has their own plates, but multiple plate designs. Some states, the variations will be completely different colors and number length. Absolutely no consistency.
I use an nvidia shield, and used the developer options to disable Google’s built in launcher (and most other google related services). That’s what it takes to keep your chosen launcher. I also used an app to remap the netflix button on that stupid toblerone they call a remote to act as a mute button, so accidentally pressing it doesn’t cause me a minute of trying to get back to my content.
Better alternatives existing doesn’t give Windows a free pass to be as shitty as they want.
One thing a lot of people here seem to miss: The onedrive app actually calls it “Backup”. So users assume they have a copy of it on their computer and it is “backed up” to OneDrive.
But the other thing OneDrive does is turn on “Selective Sync”, where it will actually delete the files off your local device “to free up storage”. It looks like it is on your local computer, but when an app goes to use it, OneDrive quickly downloads it so the app is none the wiser that it wasn’t actually there a moment ago. This is all seamless to the user, until one day they are offline and can’t get to most of their files, or they lose access to their Microsoft account.
Everything a user needs to know is in the interface, Microsoft gives little symbols on the file to specify if there is a local copy or not, but most users have no idea what any of that means.
To top it off, just a little icing on the cake, if a user signs into the computer with a Microsoft account, bitlocker (full disk encryption) is automatically turned on, and the recovery key is shoved in their Microsoft account. This is convenient, but if they lose access to their Microsoft account, they can’t log into the computer to get it, and they can’t log into the website to get the bitlocker key. So even if their files are still on the PC, they have zero way to recover them.
Honestly, they’ve created a very convenient system, until it is impossible to recover anything. Business Environments have administrators that can help users by resetting their passwords or pulling a bitlocker key out of Intune, but for a home user? You’re just SOL.
Yeah, a layer of plastic film well sealing the windows will go a long way. I know a lot of people like making foam inserts that make a huge difference. Insulating foam is cheap, and it just needs a layer of fabric glued to it to look half decent.
You get an article longer in seconds, not minutes. ChatGPT will make you a longer article — without the headache of writing it. You can even ask it for fewer emdashes — giving you results you will love.
Ok, but can you show me even one time those oil rigs have caused an environmental disaster? OK, but that was only once. OK, those 15 other times you linked. OK, but clearly they can’t be that bad, the hippies cleaned up the the birds and BP said they were sorry.
For years Google downgraded people’s experience on search, maps, and youtube on mobile if they didn’t use Chrome for Android. As a Firefox mobile user, it was very frustrating. I don’t use many Google services anymore, but they, seemingly intentionally, were making other browsers feel worse. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were doing it in different ways on desktop.
Linux has always had that problem. “Linux doesn’t support any games!” or “Linux can’t run Photoshop”. That’s the way it is always phrased and seen (and was much worse before Proton came along). Not “The devs didn’t bother supporting Linux” or “Adobe sucks”.
I, like most people, didn’t read the article. However, a lot of people use tracking tags on their pets collar so they can actually be tracked if they get out. I’m guessing that is what these cameras will be picking up.
After the first few paintings of humans and animals, painters would have had to get damn creative to not step on previous painters toes.
I was joking for sure. Most of M365 is a hodgepodge of Exchange and Sharepoint, including Teams. But that’s all server side, so doesn’t matter to the client. They could make a the clients not terrible even if the server is hot garbage.
I’m excited that there are alternative browser engines being developed, but I lost a lot of enthusiasm for Ladybird when I learned more about the lead. Servo is another browser project coming along nicely, although Servo is closer to webkit than it is a fully fledged browser.
AI is finding bugs, which are getting fixed. That’s great, it means a more secure and stable system. As these vulnerabilities are patched out, they are gone forever(regressions not withstanding).
Theoretically, Linux could become perfectly secure. It’s not going to stop people from doing insecure things, but it could mean there are no unintended security weaknesses. We could hit a point were an “LTS” copy of Linux never receives a single security patch, because as long as the code isn’t changing, there’s nothing to fix.
Of course, this is all theoretical, and assumes that new classes of attacks or bigger chains for attacks are never found, but vulnerabilities should be a finite resource in a static codebase, and once that resource is fully exhausted, the code is now fully safe.
Ideally, open weights or open source models catch up, and this can all be done without paying a ransom to OpenAI or Anthropic, and is available through the whole stack, not just kernel level.
