Only case where I consider pre-ordering is if there’s a decent discount for doing it and I know that I’ll definitely want the game at launch (for example if most of my group of friends will be playing it at the same time).

This was the first game with which I experienced the joy of not having a pc strong enough to run it. I don’t remember anything about the game, just the stuttering… And I think there was a desert or something.

Have you played any of the harvest moon / story of seasons games? It’s the series that inspired Stardew Valley. Most of them are, in general, much more chill than even Stardew itself. There are a bunch of them on steam (on there, look only for the story of seasons games and ignore the ones named Harvest Moon)

I said it as a joke but I suspect it might be true, too. I see a lot of people complaining that they see too many posts of people they block.

I’m just too curious. Sometimes I even Google answers for questions on TV shows that I know will be answered 5 seconds later.

Try blocking her, the algorithm will prioritize her posts if you do.

I’m surprised nobody has done yet as I’ve seen all sorts of features be added to earphone cases. Maybe a decent touchscreen is not yet cheap enough to throw at some case without the profit margin of the apple brand.

Not getting mad when someone feels threatened by you is a pretty good start.

I’ve recently been working with some niche tool that has very little documentation on the web but is open source and has a ton of discussions on public email groups. Chatgpt is sometimes able to figure out what param I need to send for specific stuff in that tool even if there are zero Google matches for the param name, but more often than not it just hallucinates stuff or mention things that no longer exists. I’ve created the habit of always asking things like “is that right?” or “is that answer up to date?” before even reading the first response from it and it often replies with things like: “no, that param only exists in some other similar tool” or “no that API has been deprecated” and shit like that.

If it were up to me I wouldn’t even be using chatgpt at all due to all the time it wasted with random stuff it makes up, but whatever training data openAI used, it surely had more information about the niche stuff I’m working with than the web does at this point - so sometimes it can still save me time too.

Yeah. Personally I don’t see life as being “sacred” or anything and I think people should ultimately be free to choose to end their own if they really want to (provided they also get good support for trying to deal with whatever leads to that choice) - but it kinda scares me that this “sanctity” that is attributed to life is the only thing stopping people from being casually OK with murder.

TIL the Kama Sutra is just an average Netflix show released 140 years too early.

Buddhism’s “Life sucks? Be nice and die and you’ll get a better one” sucks but it’s still better than “you should be nice to others, but that’s too much to ask so go be as awful as you want and just regret it later and that’ll be fine”. But even that was better than whatever the fuck people are interpreting from religions these days.

I’m two years Brazil will possibly elect some new right wing maniac and if it is as stupid as the last one, they’ll probably give Brazil’s whole economy to Trump in a silver platter.

Bolsonaro was recently criticing Lula, saying things like: “how dare he speaks up to Trump, as if our country had any relevance. He should shut up and just do what Trump tells him to”.

I once asked chatgpt for the name of an anime that I couldn’t remember. I described the whole premise of the anime and then some details of the final episode. Chatgpt says “Stein’s gate”. I say “no, it’s not as famous as that”. It then says “Erased”, and proceeds to describe it, showing that I was actually very effective in my description of it.

I asked “why did you say Stein’s Gate if I described Erased so well?”: “you mentioned time travel and Stein’s gate is a popular anime about time travel”

“but I also mentioned a lot of other stuff that don’t match anything with Stein’s gate, like the details about the villain or how the time traveling works”

“yeah my bad I just went by popularity”

“next time, how can I phrase my questions in a way that would make you consider the whole input instead of just using some key information in it?”

“you could have mentioned details about the villain or how the time traveling works and I would have used that to rule out Stein’s gate”

“but I did”

“yeah sorry about that, next time try giving me details about the villain or how the time traveling works”

I reached out to them and they told me they are currently working in implementing the native protocol and they’ll replace the bridge with it.

I’m not very familiar with the matrix protocol but rocket.chat advertises itself as having implemented the matrix protocol. What you said is also true according to their documentation, so now I’m confused about what is actually going on. Based on what rocket.chat implemented, is it wrong to say that they use the matrix protocol? And what are the limitations of their approach as opposed to a full implementation of it?

Rocket.chat implements the matrix protocol (or something else from matrix, check the other replies) to federate with other rocket.chat instances. It also had a different federation protocol before implementing matrix.

The sub-conscious processes of our brain tend to not use any language. Dreams and thoughts may be translated into some regular language for some people but not everyone and when it does the language picked might have more to do with the content of what is being shown than the person’s proficiency in the language.

Are you telling me there’s a reason why I have to click shutdown twice for gnome to start the shutdown process? I always wondered why it had that 60s waiting time.

I was thinking it was actually quite reasonable, until I realized the emoji isn’t part of the banner he was talking about.
