  • While you're right, this normalization may take upwards of a year. This manufacturing is not easy to set up and if the manufacturers see this as a one time purchase, they may also decide not to scale up production. After all, they just started making 2-3x on existing products.

  • Netflix faces consumer class-action lawsuit over $72bn Warner Bros deal

    Jump

  • Warner Bros is not a defendant in the lawsuit.

    Is this lawsuit a way to get the deal stuck down so paramount (and their questionable business partners) to buy WB, including CNN?

  • Big if true. Any volunteers for target practice?

  • A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman

    Jump

  • This was a great read! As someone who was initially excited about the possibilities of AI art, it's been hit or miss with me.

    I've come to realise over time that I like the connection that art offers. The little moment of 'I wonder what the artist was thinking when they imagined this and what experiences did someone have to get to a place where they could visualize and create this?'

    And I think that's what missing with AI art. Sure, it can enable someone like me who has no skill with drawing to create something but it doesn't get to the point of putting my actual imagination down. The repeated tries can only get to point of 'close enough'.

    For me, looking at a piece and then learning it's AI art is basically realizing that I'm looking at a computer generated imitation of someone's imagination. Except the imitation was created by describing the art instead of the imitator ever looking at it. An connection I could have felt with original human is watered down as to be non-existent.

  • For my laptop, 90% of. The reason is pc game pass. I like trying random games out for a few hours.

    That said, my old desktop is still on windows 10 and there's some shitty update that occasionally causes boot failure after which I've to either rollback the update, restore to a system restore point or (once) do a full windows reinstall.

    The problem happened again a couple days ago. Since it's not my daily driver anymore, I just don't have to energy to fix it. I think it might be time to move to Linux, except I've no idea what distro to go for. For work, I've used a bunch of centos and rocky servers, but they've always been cli. I've no idea what kind of good ui based distros will work for me.

  • What are you playing this weekend? 2025-09-19

    Jump

  • Finally finished my play through of Cyberpunk 2077 that I started when it came out on ps+. Enjoyable enough that I bought the Phantom Liberty DLC before I finished the base game. Stability still seems to be an issue. Had about a dozen crashes but never lost more than 10 minutes at any time.

    I've realised I don't like when games don't let you max out all the available rpg skill trees. Always leaves me wondering if I could be having a better time. There's playstyles that I wanted to try out but couldn't because of limitations. I wish more games did unlimited respecs like Bg3 did.

    I think I might give Sifu a shot next.

  • 47 Israeli Tourists’ Passports Discarded in Sarajevo Hotel, Authorities Call It Accidental Mistake

  • Uh, why does the hotel have 50 peoples' passports?

    Is that a thing that people do? Let the hotel keep their passports?

  • As a front-end dev, I disagree. You can make something optimized for utility from multiple perspectives. It might be for power users or for the ability to see as much data in one place, or even to change and configure as many things as possible. But these approaches don't necessarily make it user friendly. Sometimes the most usable flow requires deoptimization.

    Have you seen the old SAP UIs? Lots of utility. Complicated as hell usability.

  • Shouldn't the point of prison rehabilitation be that the inmates be encouraged to build stronger social connections to reduce recidivism? Isolating and further punishing them like this seems like it's going to make it more difficult to rebuild their lives post incarceration.

  • US abruptly turns off funding for CVE program

    Jump

  • DOGE tech bros 100% know what it is. But they're also probably the kind of devs that hate fixing issues surfaced by CVE's in dependencies. Have seen my fair share of these types of 'engineers'. Same kind of folks who see qa and testing as the enemy.

  • I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp.

  • This seems to be the plan. It's the third result for 'photoshop vs gimp' on DDG.
