  • Yet publications on TikTok with the word suicide get banned and deleted, while unalived do not.

    It's true that they do know what the content is about, it's just the politics of online social networks shaping communication.

  • Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry

  • Lol, this is far from the first time this has been done. Gotta give it to Apple marketing, they can still get away with "inventing" 5 year old technology in front of the gullible crowds.

  • Wild concept here. Raster as background and marking up as vector graphics on an overlay. Or use gwenview which is designed exactly for that.

  • I was wondering why the €40k printer at work was choking with "simple" Canva PDFs

    Jump

  • It's not the machine. I'd bet money that it is Canva's fault.

  • Inkscape? Maybe.

    Gimp is not a drawing software, so it makes sense it doesn't have a dedicated "draw complex geometric figures" tool by default. It does have a shape selection tool. Anyways, it all depends on what you're trying to achieve. Krita is for painting, gimp is for image manipulation, inkskape is for vector graphics. Paint.net is a weirdo that does everything but doesn't do any of those things well enough.

  • In the English version of American Dad’s «Aw Rats, a Pool Party!» episode, Avery says he doesn’t speak Spanish. What does he say in the Spanish version?

    Jump

  • Indeed, this is what they did. Same when Steve works cooking meth for an Hispanic gang under the belief he is in Hogwarts learning magic potions. The magic spell "lavate lasmanos" was used as is in the Spanish dub. It means "wash your hands" for those who didn't get the joke in English.

  • I don't have money to pay premium to not see ads. What in the world makes you think that I have money to buy what you are advertising me?

    Jump

  • I did this exercise a few days ago. It turns out I'm so out of the broad reach of advertisements, that most of the brands and products I buy, I know them from in-shop ads or from early and mid childhood, when I watched way too much TV. I absolutely buy several brands and products for which I've never, in my entire life, ever seen an ad on the internet or TV. There, the main selling point is how atrociously evil the parent corporation is, and where does the product itself comes from. I can't avoid them entirely, but I can choose the lesser evils.

    Now I'm very anti advertisement and aggressively prune that shit from my life, more than the average person. But it makes me hopeful that a less exploitative life is possible in this cursed timeline.

  • LTT does another Linux Challenge

  • Not bad for a nurse.

  • LTT does another Linux Challenge

    Jump

  • My elder aunt must be a genius then. Because she figured out linux and has been using it for a decade entirely on her own. All it took was wanting an old laptop back and having access to the internet. She never asked me anything, and one day was using Ubuntu like it was nothing notable. Seriously, it only takes engaging in good faith and having a brain on while doing it.

  • Ignore that user. They are most likely a troll, probably my most down voted user in all of Lemmy. I once thought of blocking them, but then realized it is kind of like having a pet. They are too small and stupid to hurt anyone, but it is funny to watch them try. Ocassionally they drop some gems that are truly hilariously bad. Not KenM bad, but close tho.

  • So why are Indian curries so popular in the UK? (interest in culinary perspectives).

    Jump

  • Chinese food is a hard one to compare to. Since western Chinese food is not entirely Chinese and more a Cantonese fusion that was invented in new York then exported worldwide. Its main feature being adapting local ingredients to the same base template. So it is always different depending on the region. In China it is considered a form of western fast food and not at all traditional.

  • There are no psychopaths, but the idea persists.

  • Pyschopaty never existed as a diagnostic.

    It's akin to a doctor diagnosing you with "sick". It is nonspecific, arbitrary and useless to inform treatment or prognosis. It was used as a descriptor by very early psychiatry, but it was never a distinct diagnosis.

  • I hope none of you wanted to buy RAM anytime soon

  • Wait, you read a CEO statement and believed her? Watch as everything she said turns out to be false. This is an old corporate tactic, put women in power positions just to push them under a bus. Her job is to kill Xbox and take the fall. Microsoft doesn't want a gaming division anymore. This is why all they do is shutdown studios. They only got in because they feared Sony consoles would compete as cheap computers on the corporate market. It was never meant to go this far.

  • Oh no...

  • The whole point of inmutabiltiy is that, even if the system breaks itself on update, you just rollback to a working image. I've had issues with bazzite, but never once have I lost a system with it.

  • DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media

    Jump

  • Oh boy, they weren't fuzzy. Some film outclass the clarity and sharpness of modern OLED, even when it was for B category low budget movies, just that most people watched a 4 week old piece of film in bumfuck middle of nowhere cinema. With a scratched up and badly calibrated focus lens and dirty and deteriorated film over a dirty screen.

    Anyways, the biggest problem that physical media solves is not the number of pixels, but the bitrate. Tons of information, specially about color, is lost to streaming compression. Pixel density equation means that the quality of what you see is rarely distinguishable between 1080p, 2k and 4k, depending on how far away you sit from the screen and how big it is. For the typical seating accommodation at home and commercial theaters, you won't notice a significant change within FHD and UHD. However, you can definitely tell the difference between the 10Mbps 4k (down to as little as 2Mbps if your connection sucks) that you get from Netflix¹ and the steady 32Mbps that Blu-ray can give you.

    ¹: BTW, it doesn't matter how fast your internet connection is, the data transferred can get to you at as high speed as you want, but the bitrate of the video file inside the container that the streaming services give you is usually hard capped rather low anyway.

  • where are all the maga sports feminists

    Jump

  • A single sentence can be a paragraph, but you need to not be brain damaged to understand that, so I don't blame you.

  • where are all the maga sports feminists

    Jump

  • Being part of a minority really highlights how horrible some sport's cultures can be. If you are a gay or female fan of any sport you have to pick your social circles like navigating a minefield. Lest you end up in the homophobic “let's lynch the gay guy” or the “gang rape the only woman here” fan-club.

    Sure, the vast majority of sport spaces are not that extreme, but it only takes one, and unfortunately they are a pretty much non-zero number. Sometimes just watching a game alone in you living room can expose you to casual homophobia and misogyny depending on the commenters.

  • ‘A feedback loop with no brake’: how an AI doomsday report shook US markets

    Jump

  • The proponent is a rather successful and rational investor. This was satire, meant to evoke the idea that, if AI was all that the con men are selling, it would collapse the economy. It is not and everyone knows it, but the point is to highlight the idiocy and try to wake up people to the absurdity. I see it akin to what "a modest proposal" was. To nudge the most radical AI ideologues into understanding the dead economy and ghost GDP concepts. If the economy becomes detached from human reality, it will crumble and collapse.
