LOL I’ve never seen that before.

Do you use them both at the same time? Or do you switch between them rapidly? (Maybe you could make a taskbar button-toggle if it’s the latter!)

Someone has probably said it better before me but, I’ll try talking about the theft opinion with some coldness. I won’t include AI right off the bat, to give context on what piracy and theft is said to be.

Paraphrased arguments regarding reapplication (for lack of a better word) of copyrighted material, as a spectrum:

• Individual from the proverbial “big guy”, for personal use: This is more well-liked (especially online). Sites and trackers pirating a huge movie might be argued as
  • 👍 (thumbup is support) “No one’s losing money if I wasn’t buying it anyway.” (From a dbzer0 comment)
  • 👍"Nintendo won’t even let me buy it, so where else would I get it?" (Based on a pcmasterrace comment about vintage Nintendo, and the Yuzu stoppage)
  • 👎 (thumbdown is against) “If no one pays them, no one produces. The extra cash flow from DVDs is gone nowadays so now it’s harder to make a profit off a movie – the studio’s in the red.” (I think Chris Pratt might’ve mentioned the studio-DVD budget issue. Citation needed.)
• Individual from individual, for personal use: This is more contentious, e.g. putting Patreon-premium art on an imageboard without the artist giving a go-ahead. The line is stricter here; arguers say:
  • 👍 “This is for artist awareness, and is at least a net positive on world enjoyment.” (Saw it on an imageboard)
  • 👎 “The artist saved that for premium-buyers – now their Patreon will suffer. Is their time-buy ratio minimum wage?” (Same imageboard; and a Twitter post about whether a shark drawn for 5 hours is worth 5 x the minimum wage)
• Individual from individual, for gain: Taking inspiration is fine, but tracing someone’s work and passing it off as your own is not.
  • 👍 “I painted this in the style of Mondrian. I was inspired.” (Based on a Lemmy traditionalart post I saw, which wasn’t related to AI arguments)
  • 👎 “Tracing a da Vinci is forgery. So when you trace my animation and get 10x more views… you stole it from me.” (Based off an animation tracing controversy I saw on an imageboard)
• Big guy from individual, for gain: Let’s start to include AI. Now we have a “sawing the branch we’re all on” scenario. Suppose AI gets really good at mimicry (i.e. no garbage shading, no Lovecraft mutations).
  • 👎 “They still have a vanishing point issue where inbreeding will make them die. If the artists who fueled them all disappear, then good, new art disappears too.” (I think someone here said that. Not qualified to say if it’s for sure but it probably is.)
  • 👎 “My signature is distorted in the bottom right. And I got paid nothing for this. Instead, rich people I don’t even know are getting paid, without any of my control.” (Based off of an angry blog post I saw somewhere. Someone here said something similar.)
  • 👎 “Oh, so when I pirate Nintendo I need to dodge my ISP, but when a company pirates artists, no one cares?” (Me)
  • 👍 “Wow, thanks to this, I can make art without having to commission artists.” (qualification: make denotes to having a kind of control in the output here, as opposed to constructing the proportions oneself.) (Saw something similar on a Reddit DnD post but not outright said.)
• Big guy from big guy, for gain:
  • 👎 “Lawyer time.” (Ongoing litigation is occurring, such as with stock photo companies (ShutterStock?) or the New York Times iirc.)

Lol why did I type all this.

A custom EFI app? Is that like a handrolled Unified Kernel Image with some Proxmox-specific addons in it? How’d you make it?

ooh I should do that for Obsidian instead of having an enormous directory of Pasted Image 202302050124300845012.pngs. =◡=

Triangulating your location. Are you… in the Milky Way Galaxy?

(Thanks for reminding me to limit accumulator charge)

edit: based on the other commenter I think I might be missing a simpler declarative way to do this. The following will be kept for posterity though

The main idea is:

1. Use Window Titler to add a title. For me, if I want it on workspace 7, I title the window “7”. (NOTE: The title will probably appear like [title], see below)
2. Make a script that queries the window manager, and then dispatches a movement to the appropriate workspace. In Hyprland that might be hyprctl -j which gives

... json blahblah
"title": "[7] What's a unique customization on your Linux machine you think no one else has? - tchncs — Mozilla Firefox"
... json blahblah

but in Sway it might be something similar to using swaymsg. Only titled windows will have the bracket number thing so just regex that part

3. Put it in autostart. Because Firefox takes a while to load on my junk machine I sleep for like 30 seconds to a minute before all the titles register.

pasting from my keybind config

# snippet based on end4 dotfiles -- FIXME edge case where a
#     preexisting tmp.png might be overwritten
# English
bind = Super+Shift,T,exec,grim -g "$(slurp $SLURP_ARGS)" "tmp.png" && tesseract -l eng "tmp.png" - | wl-copy && rm "tmp.png"
# Korean
bind = Super+Shift,K,exec,grim -g "$(slurp $SLURP_ARGS)" "tmp.png" && tesseract -l kor "tmp.png" - | wl-copy && rm "tmp.png"
# Japanese
bind = Super+Shift,J,exec,grim -g "$(slurp $SLURP_ARGS)" "tmp.png" && tesseract -l jpn "tmp.png" - | wl-copy && rm "tmp.png"

I just pipe grim and slurp (i.e. select part of the Wayland screen then copy) into a temporary png, tesseract it into the clipboard, then delete the temporary png.

edit: clarified

Awesome…

Care to share the video/code? I actually have something similar (Corsair Scimitar’s macro customizer doesn’t work on Linux

As I was writing this I found a project that deals with Corsair MMO mice on Linux so now I will be going on an egg hunt.

Me when I picked immortal but my opponent spawned a tsunami that sent me to the kabillion PSI ocean floor (I am doomed)

I think it’s closer to Level 2 Priest compared to Yahweh.

But then how many abilities will end up crummy for balancing purposes? It’s like “pick a sword, bow, or gun to defend yourself”, but you don’t have the strength for a European longbow and your pirate-era flintlock has enough spread to hit the neighbor’s dog.

What if teleportation is 2 inches, or flight is 3 feet? What if invisibility means light goes straight through your corneas and you end up blind? What if immortal just means only your brain will survive??

Nevermind

Teleportation, invulnerability, siphon abilities.

And then I teleport to everyone in the thread.

Unless someone has teleportation, intellect, and siphon abilities. Then they might outwit me and find someone invulnerable before I do. But I might find someone intellectual before they do. And then it becomes a race.

Comic adaptation when?

【 That time I got 3 superpowers from a Lemmy post, but so did everyone else? Yuusha no Skill Siphon 】

LOL yeah that’s a nice thing to put in the company search history

I dotted up my dwm install?

Its kind of verbable :p

edit: I rescind this comment because I seem to have misunderstood what the commenter meant by reclaiming. Sorry, I did not mean to be hateful.

Removed by mod

Ebbin my neezerinstall until it scrooges

No, Gentoo is alive! I can catch up to upstream Firefox’s LTO+Clang+PGO optimizations and use my own version of Debian alternatives and save 3MB by removing iso9660 support from REFind!

It seems pretty alive to me though. 5/25 of the month-top-posts in r/unixporn have it in the title, and I’m sure more are present in the comments. And a lot of YT videos on it still mention it.

The old thread about it covers both sides of the coin.

Basically, “ricing” insulted weird Asian car customizations -> “ricing” became a more generic “weird” customization term (this is the most famous transitive example I can think of) -> ricing’s origin was forgotten by a decent amount of people. (I mentioned it in the first spoilered text)

But I’d like to keep the focus on yoloing a term out of nowhere :D

When I was younger I memorized this in three (3) steps to use at zero (0) family gatherings… is it cheating if my stupidest joke is the only one I can recall instantly? :]

Warning: this joke is so ancient, it’s sepia-toned.

An engineer and a doctor were arguing about who had the harder job. To prove his might, the engineer decided to open a clinic, betting he’d be a successful doctor:

“If we can cure you, you pay $500; if we can’t, we pay you $1,000.”

Of course the doctor saw the proverbial <easy money> button immediately. The guy didn’t even have a license! So the doc went straight to the clinic as his first patient.

Doc: “Sir, I have lost my sense of taste.”

Engineer: “Nurse, please bring the medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient’s mouth.”

Doc: “Blawrgh! This is gasoline!”

Engineer: “Congratulations! You’ve got your taste back. That will be $500.”

The doctor leaves, fuming. But not to be beaten, he goes back after a few days – he can still leave with a profit if he plays this right.

Doc: “Sir, I have lost my memory.”

Engineer: “Nurse, please bring the medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient’s mouth.”

Doc: “What, no! That’s gasoline!”

Engineer: “Congratulations! You’ve got your memory back. That will be $500.”

The doctor leaves pissed. Buuut, doc comes back after a few days — he needs to at least break even, right? So, more determined than before, he brings a cane and says:

Doc: “Sir, I’ve gone blind.”

Engineer: disappointed “Well, unfortunately I don’t have any medicine for that. Take this $1,000.”

Doc: “But this is $500…”

Engineer: “Congratulations! You’ve got your vision back! That will be $500.”
