  • Why do people like machines that pretend to be human?

    Jump

  • I do like videogames, including ones with NPCs, but the difference there is that an NPC isn't pretending to be a person, it's pretending to be a character in a fiction that was definitively written by a person. And even so, I very much don't like hyper-realism in games, much prefer stylized and/or cartoony.

    And yeah the fake person at a drive thru thing started up where I am in California sometime last year (or at least that I first noticed). The irritatingly realistic voice is bad enough, but it's really the obsequious responses that bug me there. A lot of, "great choice! The orange chicken is really tasty", like removed you literally don't have a mouth, please stop.

  • Yeah but see that freaks me tf out too. A few nights ago, the moon was shining through the leaves of the oak tree in my backyard in such a way that it vaguely looked like a little kid's face, and I literally said out loud "absolutely not" and went back inside.

  • +1 for GrapheneOS. I wasn't particularly privacy conscious when I installed it; I was just super bothered by the Google/Apple duopoly in mobile OSes and wanted literally anything else. Came across GrapheneOS and a few others, but Graphene looked the easiest to install (and it was!) so I went with that. Barely a year later, Google's out here trying to lock Android down and harvest literally every piece of personal data they can find, and I feel like I dodged a bullet.

  • Docker vs ... not?

    Jump

  • Jellyfin isn't running in a docker container, so it's working fine. I've just noticed that everything I am running in a container doesn't have network access, unless I change network mode to host in that container's compose yml. So I guess docker's network bridge isn't configured correctly? Which makes sense, as I have basically no idea what I'm doing lmao. So until I figure out what's going on there, I think I'll just let my JF server run as is. I'd prefer it in a container I think, but not before I figure out what exactly I broke.

    Jump

  • Bearing that in mind, I now have a new problem, which is that apparently none of my containers actually have internet access? I hadn't noticed because I mostly just run local media servers, and I tend to clean up all the metadata before I upload anything (i.e. I usually clean up my ebooks in Calibre before I send them to BookLore, so I've never had to actually use BookLore to fetch anything from the web).

    Only way I was able to get internet access in any of my containers was adding 

     
        
network_mode: "host"

    to the docker-compose.yml files, which, if I'm understanding correctly, negates the point of isolating network services, no? So something is broken somewhere but I have no idea what it is or how to fix it, so I guess my JF server is staying on bare metal for now lol

  • Ngl, I used an ansible playbook one time and I felt like a fourth grader trying to perform open heart surgery. Again, I am just so very very new and dumb lmao

  • Gavin Newsom says he regrets using term ‘apartheid’ to describe Israel

    Jump

  • Lol fair enough. My husband is the same, though not dyslexic. I can def imagine dyslexia would make it difficult though.

  • Random, but if you use gesture typing in heliboard, they're trying to build their own open-source gesture library. You can help build it (and maybe improve the autocorrect to a degree). I think you go to settings, and there's a tab for "gesture data gathering".

  • What game had you like this?

    Jump

  • Grounded. It initially felt impossible cuz early game practically every enemy one-shots you. Abandoned it for a while, then a friend played it and told me the secret is to learn all the movesets and perfect parry every single hit, and I was like "that sounds unreasonably difficult", and then immediately played it for like nine hours straight.

  • Third round of ‘No Kings’ protests are expected to be the largest so far, organizers say

    Jump

  • Went to one in Sacramento with a couple of friends. I'd bet there were about 5k-10k when we were there. Good vibes all around. Few other friends went to one in Los Angeles, looked like that one had a lot of attendees too.

    To the naysayers: even if this accomplishes nothing in the most literal sense, hope is the basis of progress, and hope dwindles very quickly when you feel like you're standing alone and shouting into the void. Gathering with so many other people who likewise understand how fucked everything is and how desperately we need to make big changes can go a long way to recharging that hope battery.

  • Fair point. But there did used to be three branches that checked one another. The reason DJT can effectively do whatever he wants through the DOJ is because those checks and balances are no longer in place. If Biden had tried to do with DOJ what Trump has done (which I still would argue that he absolutely should not have), the USSC would have had something to say about it—similar to how they checked him when he (with Sec of Ed) attempted to forgive roughly half a trillion dollars of student debt.

    To be clear, I'm not saying Biden (or his executive branch or the 117th congress or the USSC) was effective or.. idk, good? They absolutely weren't. I'm saying that for Biden to weaponize various departments and agencies (even for the arguable benefit of Americans), he'd have had to have engaged in the same slide into authoritarianism that Trump has.

  • He didn't "sit on the files". They were under DOJ's purview, because there used to be three separate branches of government that checked and balanced one another. I'm not saying the DOJ under Biden didn't absolutely drop the ball, because they did. I'm just saying that Trump's weaponizing of the DOJ is antithetical not to "decorum", but to democracy. Biden doing it first would have constituted executive overreach just as much as Trump doing it now.

  • You're not being realistic. There is no "working class vs ruling class" when a portion of the working class doesn't see the rest as human. It's not just that we sane Americans are unwilling to side with Nazis to take down billionaires (though certainly that is true); it's also that someone who calls me a removed is never going to stand and fight next to my black ass. The only way you get the entire working class to engage is if they are willing to stand with us, and that's not gonna happen by us welcoming Nazis into the fold, it'll happen when they, ya know, stop being Nazis. Even if what you're saying is possible, you're preaching to the wrong side.

  • Still waiting on the tragic romance version of Mulan, where they don't get together at the end because falling in love with boy-Mulan helped Shang finally come to terms with being gay.

    I'd also take the version where he ends up with Mulan's horny grandma instead. Either or.

  • Do they not advertise in Brazil? Cuz if y'all can go a day without seeing an ad of a floating laptop doing pirouettes in an endless white void to an overproduced pop song masquerading as indie, I might be down to move.
