Obviously we movie goers aren’t making the kinds of movies we want to see. We need to be the change and be the movie makers which we have no experience, skill or possibility of being. It’s so simple that it’s fucking crazy.

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not, but in case not, no. The preview was ran just fine without an NPU. Source

For how long?

Get out of here plastic!

Yeah, and like I’ve got DNS through PiHole on the same machine as HA. That particular machine doesn’t always want to come back up after power failure. And I hate going to the basement except to do laundry or bury the bodies. Having constant uptime is just useful.

At the same time, you’ve got a baked in UPS. I’m not sure what the normal power refresh cycle is on them compared to a laptop battery but it seems like it might be negligible?

My cat has hyperthyroidism and needs a pill twice a day. So I feed her 1/4 of a large can of wet food twice a day with the crushed pill mixed in. It’s just enough that she always finishes all of it so she gets all of her meds. And then always kibble out for snacking. Mostly snacking for her.

Enshitification of all the things.

This is it. It’s why seats/stools look nice but feel uncomfortable after 20 or so minutes.

There is a very good book on exactly this topic. “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking” by Susan Cain

I wish it were mandatory for anyone in a managerial position to read this.

I assume you’re referring to the clay litter? You probably just want an air purifier. You will have litter smell and dust for a short time is all. The one problem, is that the fine clay dust will make mincemeat out of most purifiers. You’ll want a good one with easily replaceable filters or easy to clean filters. If they’re replaceable, cost is also a factor. Or, you can get two furnace filters and rubber band it onto either side of a box fan and use a smart plug to run it now and then.

No this is the find out stage.

I bet your wife is really cool. You know, by the standards of some nerd on the Internet, but I’m guessing I’d think she was cool.

Inside every Texan is 30-50 feral hogs…

You can run your Jellyfin connection inside of Kodi which has a ton of configuration options like the volume control.

I’ve been pretty excited about what I’ve been seeing from Affinity. You’re right, they’re not there yet. But they’re closer than anyone. They need more money and time and they will hopefully get there.

I want to point out, because I see this chart or something like it a lot. Adobe has an absolute monopoly in the professional design space. None of these programs can remotely come close to the creative suite if you’re doing more than tinkering. If you’re making memes or doing some personal image manipulation, you can get by with GIMP or something. If you’re creating professional art or creating files for print or publication, you need Adobe. It’s scary that one corporation holds so much sway over an entire industry but they definitely do.

Too fucking late. I’ve already installed Bluefin on two machines and Bazzite on my gaming machine. I’m not going back.

Great reference. Also, you can do gifs in Lemmy. Not sure if everyone knows that or not.
