[Moved to Piefed] Television@lemm.ee•'Andor' Season 2 Debuts to Nielsen Viewership High With 721 Million MinutesEnglish
13·7 months agoAndor is way better than the prequels, honestly people who venerable those movies are giving them more credit than they deserve. Makes me feel like they got too lost in the sauce since /r/prequelmemes blew up.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Tell one thing that you miss after switching from another OS to Linux.
3·1 year agoI think the module I’m using, which could be Kingmaker or any number of other modules, might be gpu accelerated. Idk why exactly, but having the view for my players on the second monitor while mine is on the main causes it to dramatically slow down and freeze within a minute or so, to the point where the browser window doesn’t click and drag. All I really know is that it works on xorg and not on Wayland, and no distro that runs well in this accursed laptop is stable (endeavor OS turned off my Nvidia drivers in an update and ran everything through the amd apu) or comes with an xorg version of the DE (Fedora Bazzite also doesn’t have this, but at least it works otherwise). I transitioned to a purely online game at that time for other reasons, but I was looking longingly at how Windows users don’t have to put up with that bullshit, or at least not nearly as much.

1·1 year agoMan, I just want Foundry VTT to work on my second monitor, it used to work but all the distros that moved over to Wayland DEs exclusively mean that I can’t use the thing I want and have the laptop do it’s one job of displaying foundry on my table TV. I guess what I really want is for Nvidia so put out better Wayland drivers.

Today I Learned (TIL)@lemmy.ca•TIL Metallica released a video in 2012 appealing for help to solve the 2009 murder of a 20yo fan, Morgan Harrington, who disappeared after their show. They offered $50K on top of the $100K by police.

Technology@lemmy.world•In Cringe Video, OpenAI CTO Says She Doesn’t Know Where Sora’s Training Data Came FromEnglish
42·2 years agoAn AI (in its current form) isn’t a person drawing inspiration from the world around it, it’s a program made by people with inputs chosen by those people. If those people didn’t ask permission to use other people’s licensed work for their product, then they are plagiarising that work, and they should be subject to the same penalties that, for example, a game company using stolen art in their game should face. An AI doesn’t become inspired, it copies existing things to predict what it thinks its user wants to see. If we produce a real thinking AI at some point in the future, one with self determination and whatnot, the story will be different, but for now it isn’t.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot.English
30·2 years agoI work in IT, and every time I do an install (sometimes new computers, sometimes not) for someone I see Microsoft’s little News widget they put on the Taskbar, the one that pops up a huge window if you mouse over it. Every time I see that, I ask the person if they ever use it, and they always say no. Then I ask them if they want it gone, and they always say yes, usually with some kind of relief. It’s a matter of two clicks to do it, easier than going into the settings menu like your screenshot, but every computer I haven’t been on previously has it. Now, I’d wonder why Microsoft would put something on the Taskbar that is, in my experience, universally disliked. To me it reeks of the pathetic, groveling, “I’ll suck your dick” energy they have when someone installs Chrome.
Windows 10 changed a lot over the course of its lifetime, and while some feature are good, like Dark Mode, they’re mostly useless or downright bad. So putting something that most people will never use and will greatly confuse and annoy the average user in a place that has been dedicated to a single function for at the very least Windows 10’s entire lifetime (I think it’s there in 8 and maybe 7 also) for seemingly no reason other than to fuck with people’s muscle memory is just one more move very worthy of griping about, no matter how easy it is for users to turn off. Because 99% of users just won’t, because they aren’t confident enough to go futzing around in the settings. But they’ll still get whatever god awful popup this button shows every time they try to show desktop like they’ve been doing for over a decade. It’s yet another change that nobody asked for, nobody will use, and that the user will have to remember that it’s different now for no reason.

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•"Merry Christmas" by Safely Endangered
211·2 years agoFun fact, the X in X-Mas is actually the Greek letter X (pronounced Chai or Key) that has been an accepted shortening for Christ, oftentimes by the Catholic Church, for literally thousands of years! If you’ve ever seen that P with an X at the bottom, that’s Chi Roh, another Greek shortening of Christ or Christos. So people earnestly bitching about “taking the christ out of Christmas” with Xmas is a moron who doesn’t know their own religion’s history.
Is that the Grover Haus window?



I might be misremembering 11 years ago, but why did an SRD post apparently think this guy was banned by “the jews?” That seems a bit extreme even for 2014 reddit, especially in a relatively mainstream sub like SRD?
