       @xerz @gamingonlinux I hate being that one person, really wanting Linux devices to take off. But after the promotional discount ends, without a digitizer, and the price of the add-in keyboard, makes something like the surface go with it's pen look like a bargain. I would die for something like that with pen support. Something I can develop and draw on the go without changing devicea

       @APoD One big issue with one of the items is that derelict satellites, or those with circular buses, will "blink" as their panels and reflectors move in and out of solar range. You can use the period between flashes to determine if a zombified satellite has any remaining thrust control or it's on a full destabilized spin.

       @whitequark Posts are not worthless, they are just not meant to last for eternity. If you want something to endure with time, write it down, long form. elsewhere.Words should be able to be lost on the wind, and conversations should be allowed to expire. to let you be unburdened of the past, and let the things it held, be free once more.If something specific needs to be preserved, it should be treated differently, as the exception, not the rule.

       @bedast so long the model is outsourced to OpenAI and the like. You can always be certain everything you ever watch on VLC will be beamed to a third party "for improvement". Auto-generated subtitles might be better than no subtitles, but not at the cost of constantly feeding third parties with your data.And of course, if we are talking of OpenAI's models, they are known to outright invent nonsense phrases when they tried audio transcription a few months ago.Id not trust an hallucinegic liar.

       @starsider @bedast the CES demo makes it clear the transcription is **off-device**, ie, syphoning data. And besides, there are already many built in tools for that on macOS and linux.If i wanted fucked-up nonsense on my videos i would watch a raunchy youtube poop from the early 2010sId rather have a phoneme-based system where at least you can tell what the gibberish came from and you can tell its an error, and even reconstruct the sentence back.We do not need this.

       @futurebird id have singled the kid out anyway after the fact. Jiat to drive the message home that nobody wants that stuff, and if you cant be arsed to make your own stuff for an assignment or after-hours project. You should just take the door and leave.

       @davidrevoy i dont follow this series but for the love of god. Make the next issue queerer, gayer, more intense. Slather the panels with rainbows if it needs be.They want a course correction? Lets give them a course correction, in the total opposite move. Make it queerer
