Hi. I like computers.
I also like cats. Cats are cool.
Isn’t Star Wars the franchise that really kick started the trend of bringing dead/younger versions of actors back as CGI replicas?
Corpos love opt-out because it lets them take advantage of people who don’t consent but maybe weren’t paying attention to or understanding the option right at the moment, esp if deceptive design is used.
Edit: and judging by the stupid formatting of that poll, I don’t think I trust them not to use deceptive design to confuse people lmao.
I was at Walmart the other day and there were four employees standing around the self checkout. They all said bye to me when I left. Weird shit.
At that point, why not just have them work the tills??
It’s probably related to the fact that it seems a lot of Lemmy users are in tech, rather than art.
I think generative AI is a great tool, but a lot of people who don’t understand how it works either overestimate (it can do everything and it’s so smart!!) or underestimate it (all it does is steal my work!!)
Ugh you’re right. I admit I’ve scrolled through AITA more often than I should, because something about it is really entertaining.
But it’s like junk food, I don’t really feel good when I’m done with it. More vindictive, like those revenge subs. Being off Reddit has reduced how much I see it, and I don’t particularly want to go back to that.
I always thought i for index when iterating through an array. Then you can’t use i again in a nested loop so j follows.
Tho sometimes x, y if the array represents coordinates.
Only a maniac would use a, b.
Just tried it. “An oonique”… Sounds fancy.
NovelAI doesn’t censor itself. Do with that as you will.
I think the benefit of having metric in base 10 rather than 12 is that it matches our numeric base system.
123mm is 12.3cm and 1.23dm and 0.123m.
Converting things in base 12 would be a bit more work, not sure it’d be worth it.
We’re not really going around converting time very often.
Wow, I forgot about this game. But I remember it being so unbelievably relatable. Watching the world pass you by simply because you were born at the end of a golden age.
And yet there’s a certain beauty in all the little things, where you say fuck the world and live anyway.
Definitely recommended.
12 and 60 divide nicely. A quarter of a 12-hour clock is 3 hours, but in decimal time it’d be 2.5 hours. A third is 4 hours in base 12, but some gross 3.33 repeating in decimal.
I just don’t like it.
Small hands. My Pixel 4a is as big as I’ll go at 5.8", as I can reach the other side of the phone with my thumb to type one-handed.
