sleeping dogs. They sure did curse a lot.

I have a couple of thoughts.

1. I dont need or want Lemmy to appeal to the mainstream. Frankly, I already get all the mainstream ‘culture’ I can stand, and frequntly more.

2. I think it’s a mistake to consider Lemmy a one-to-one repacement for Reddit. I hope the fediverse can leverage the whole, y’know, federation thing. I think topic-driven instances that function similarly to the old phpBB boards is a good paradigm. It’s not about a monster site that has a board for everything. It’s more answering the question, ‘What if I could post on gamefaqs from my metal archives account?’

I guess I just think we could do better than trying to out-reddit reddit, when it comes to having a vision for the platform.

Signed, a linux using socialist.

Will it still be possible to purchase a VPS in another country and pay with Monero or something? This seems like insane over reach, are theu going to make it illegal for americans to do business with international IAAS providers?

researchers and philosophers (not sure why we should care about the latter’s opinions on LLMs).

Philosophers may not be represent an authory on the mechanics of LLMs, but in a discussion of the nature consciousness (which is really what the stochastic parrot stuff is about), their opinion is as valid as anyone elses, and they have one of the richer histories of conceptualizing it, long before more rigorous empirical disciplines could dream of doing so.

Along a similar vein, you can catch some cool live performances of lesser known acts on the KEXP youtube channel. They interview the artists too, which is cool. They often come up in search results for artists I look up on Youtube, and my music taste tends toward the indie (as in independent, not the sound genre).

That his initial view of his powers implications was flawed is central to his character. His entire moral philosophy is predicated on his feelings of guilt and regret for his selfish actions resulting in Uncle Bens death.

They had Taylor swift play in 2019

Lately ive been getting a lot of new music from rateyourmusic.com . I look up an album i like, find some themed lists featuring it that aound interesting (a lot of the lists are like “things i listened to this year”, i ignore those), and will hop from list to list as i see interesting looking albums.

I like everything ive heard of hers, and some of the songs on the next album are absolutely incredible (Time the Revelator, and the other long, slow songs), but i really dig the old timey stripped down vibe on Hell Among the Yearlings.

Really underrated album

I’m glad I didn’t pay for this. It looks fun but the performance is terrible it’s literally freezing right now as I’m trying to quit. It eats up almost all of my CPU. I don’t have a high-end gaming rig (any more), but i was able to get better performance out of the outer worlds.

I wonder if it would work if you spoofed your user agent.

I think the crux of spec ops was less about morally judging the player or even the protagonist actions. In my opinion the driving theme of that story was encouraging critical analysis of the media we participate in, in this case, video games. It’s not so much that the player had no choice but to do those bad things, the important part is the way the context of the surrounding narrative framed those choices. And then extrapolating that to other games of a similar ilk and frankly media as a whole.

It’s kind of a cult classic. I remember it getting a lot of praise on neo gas and that’s also why I played it. But in the larger arena of video game culture it’s kind of just a footnote.

Its a technics DD. I think its a mk 2 or 3 model. When its off its consistently off. Like it still locks into a speed its just the wrong speed.

I think its an electrical issue and im too afraid to take it apart while it still works sometimes. I probably couldnt fix anyway

I still havent found anything can match the experience of finding music from online discussions or list hopping on RYM.

I never stopped either, but i buy vinyl…slowed down since my turntable only spins at 33.3 in special occasions when the spirits shine upon it.

How frequently does your cronjob run?

I recently switched from jerboa to Voyager, how do you do it?

They did mention Rizon
