Ashe@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto World News@lemmy.world•Ontario slapping 25% surcharge on U.S.-bound electricity Monday, Ford says English3·3 months agoSomeone I know just keeps telling me he disagrees with every policy that’s bad, while also saying he agrees with Trump for 50 things per the 5 he disagrees with.
Anyway that relationship is very sour as you can imagine
Ashe@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto World News@lemmy.world•Ontario slapping 25% surcharge on U.S.-bound electricity Monday, Ford says English7·3 months agoThis read as downplaying Canada’s significance for a moment, and then immediately circled back to the US being the isolationist Pariah state it is becoming
They’re horrific and apparently invisible to people. Any time I point them out I’ve been called crazy and told I was overreacting. Until driving around Illinois with a coworker when he started to understand the scale of it all. The more I see the more dizzying it becomes. There needs to be regulation for them

I’m an admin sooo
Ashe@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Maven Imported 1.12 Million Fediverse PostsEnglish6·1 year agoAnd yet we don’t want our posts to be fed into AI slop, nor do we want independent hosts to pay for the massive amount of traffic generated by a massive corporate entity to trying to consume data en masse.
Ashe@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Gay Republican candidate melts down when he figured out that his party is homophobicEnglish12·1 year agoThe gay Republican I know is also deep in denial. Sad to see in all honesty

Care to explain what an awful choice that is?
Ashe@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US productionEnglish3·1 year agoI remember NiCad batteries still being used in power wheels toys as a kid. For all I know they may still be, but the battery advancements have been particularly amazing.
Ashe@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•Woodworking as an escape from the absurdity of softwareEnglish5·1 year agoI used to be a POS tech. It’s such a gross, mismanaged walled garden.
Currently I spend a lot of time advising against pop ups like that :^)
I have had to help so many end users with that it pains me.
“How can I stop this from happening again?”
Well, we can disable.other audio devices, but seeing as it’s Windows 11 they may just re-enable good luck!
I ran into a user who’s noise cancellation stopped working upon the rollout of “New” Teams. Tried diagnosing the microphone array, settings updates, firmware. No luck.
Know what worked? Both versions of browser based Teams!!! Ihatethemihatethemihatethem
Ashe@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Fediverse@lemmy.world•So today I finally deleted the bird appEnglish2·1 year agoI’ve also seen it used as niche industry abbreviations, which made me very uncomfortable at first, regardless of it being disused

Ashe@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•Windows AI PC manufacturers must add a Copilot key, says MicrosoftEnglish19·1 year agoIf you actually just set it up, this is the perfect time to reset it, and then press shift + F10 then enter “oobe\bypassnro”
It will reboot and you will be able to say that you don’t have access to the Internet and set up a local account. That /might/ remove some bloat as well, without needing to reinstall from a flash drive. Which would require reinstalling drivers also.

Ashe@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•Redditors Vent and Complain When People Mock Their "AI Art"English7·1 year agoTaking medium into account changes everything. A sculpture artist or painter doesn’t have the same interest or concern about AI art yet, and may never. They also tend to not have the same comprehensive view of AI generation as well as training data.
That being said, digital photography doesn’t remotely compare. If I were to set my DSLR up with a lens, set an F stop and shutter speed, the results would be similar to that of a film camera. A sensor takes in light in the same way film does. A 30 second exposure at a 500 ISO will compare to a 30 second camera on a certain film type, which is comparable to ISO settings.
Artificially bumping up light sensitivity on a DSLR degrades image quality. Analog and digital are largely comparable. So how would it apply to photography? It’s not just automatically making a picture, and if it were doing that on auto, it’s still not all that different from a film photo with generic catch all sensors and light metering.
Photography is all about catching the moment, personally I captured night landscapes via manual long exposure on a DSLR, but none of that is automatic.

This is my biggest fear tbh. I have friends I’d love to see in plenty of places, but leaving isn’t the worry. Coming back is, especially being trans with a passport of my correct gender marker
Only to then be disappeared into Federal custody, have my updated birth certificate deemed illegitimate and shipped off to God knows where
