They could create 6 accounts that post nothing but old memes all day every day

I make custom maps in Civilization that essentially turn it into a tower defense

I would prefer one that removed AI slop sites from search but I suppose if a site has AI images then it's for all intents and purposes slop anyway.

The Revenge of Shinobi (Sega Genesis)

Thanks, I'm still learning but so far there hasn't been any application I need that there isn't some equivalent of.

I just last month tried out Bazzite for fun and haven't switched back. I feel like an idiot for sticking with Windows as long as I did. I was the metaphorical frog in the pot of water not realizing how shitty it had become. I guess I should be grateful there isn't any program I need that's Windows only because Bazzite is better than Windows in every way I can think of.

You’re not thinking critically when you start from a conclusion.

Agreed

That’s the opposite of critical thinking.

Agreed

That’s literally just continuing to believe and not question something.

Agreed

Did you write this with GPT? Skepticism and critical thinking are not biases.

Audio file support in lemmy-ui.

This is cool, I wonder if this could lead the way to podcasts being released on the Fediverse lemmy with comments directly under the release itself.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I do not consider critical thinking skills to be a "viewpoint". I consider them a requirement for intelligent conversation.

 

/c/fuckai has two dozen mods but ironically only time I've ever seen them take action on anyone was when they removed my post asking for recs for a community with more active moderation (lol)

I'd like to discuss generative AI from a highly skeptical perspective but with higher standards of quality and without all the mouth-frothy raging and bad memes of /c/fuckai.

Does anywhere else like that exist on the fediverse? I don't care if it's small/underutilized. And no I'm not interested in creating it myself.

 

I'm trying out LineageOS Android TV for Raspberry Pi 5. There is an option for HDMI-CEC in the menus, but nothing I do can get it working.

I know it's not the Pi, my TV, or my cables because CEC worked immediately with LibreELEC.

The Pi will go into sleep mode when the TV shuts off (even when the setting for that is disabled) so I can tell that something is being communicated. But I don't seem to have any control over it.

Does anyone have any advice for troubleshooting? I've tried power cycling the TV and Pi, unplugging cables, etc.

 

I tried Kodi with Libelec but it's still so jank. The Plex app is broken, there is no invidious or YouTube app I found that works. And sometimes it just "thinks" forever and I need to get up and unplug it.

I saw that Plasma Bigscreen was revived and it looks promising, but they don't have a release yet.

Are there any other options?

 
 
 

Will LineageOS, Graphene and /e/OS be affected by Google's changes to prevent sideloading? Is UbuntuTouch or Sailfish OS promising in the long term?

I understand that right now we are in a bad place, but in your opinion, what OS do you think people who care about freedom should rally around?

 

Not my OC I brazenly stole from @moregaghplease@startrek.website on reddit

 

Yes I know I'm behind everyone else!

First the away team spends a long time debating if they should proceed or... step outside for five seconds to call the ship. They ultimately decide that stepping outside for five seconds is not feasible.

But then literally one minute later Ensign Gamble is somehow beamed up. Presumably they must have called the ship to do this? Did they just... leave out the part about the (now obvious and real) danger? Was there a scene where Pike said "ok yeah his eyes are gone but you can keep going"?

Then later in the episode the away team spends a long time talking about trust and friendship while debating if they should walk on an invisible walkway instead of just like, I don't know, tapping it lightly with their toe or throwing a pebble on it first?

The Ensign Gamble B-plot was good and freaky and featured some great acting by everyone involved. But the A plot felt like it was vibe-scripted! I love SNW but come on.
