Are you good with the games that involve killing other people against their consent?

I know the Windows vs Linux thing is like beating a dead horse, but I use both, and the Linux machine never gets slow like Windows does. Windows does so much crap in the background that you and I don’t need want or care about, and Linux just does what it’s told when it’s told. Give it a try if you’re feeling adventurous.

Now software bloat has caught up to the gains we’ve made in hardware and we’re back to it taking 15 seconds to load a word processor.

I’m sure it’s all just courteous white hat pen testing

I am in the same exact boat. The PS5 is the media machine for us upstairs. I would switch to jellyfin if there was a PS5 client. Glad I’m not alone on this.

Does anyone know of other text-to-3d models out there that are free and open source? I have a heck of a 3d printing hobby, and would love to generate some 3d models from prompts, clean them up, and then 3d print them.

I’m guessing they’re using AI to identify and remember vehicles, read license plates, etc. surely they’re not using it for subtraction and division.

OpenAI’s Yahoo! moment. In a decade it’ll be worthless.

If it’s God’s eye and Jesus’s wheel, then who does this shift stick belong to?

Honestly I print out anything my little kiddo does at school on his Chromebook, and some stuff has black backgrounds. I got tired of wasting toner so I made a script that would print a negative screenshot if it’s a dark image. One keystroke and I get what I want

If someone started a blog site called “Tumbler” or a gay dating app called “Grinder” you could totally understand the conflict, couldn’t you. Listen, I went through this. I started a site whose name had a word that was similar to a famous trademark, and got a very similar cease and desist letter. I chose to change the name, and be candid about it, and I’ve been successful with it ever since. Just my $0.02, but I’d choose a new name you like and then register and trademark it like I did.

When I press Super + PrtSc, a bash script performs the following:

Takes a screenshot of the entire desktop (import -window root) and saves it as ~/screenshot.png…

Analyzes the screenshot to calculate the “mean brightness” value of the image. It converts the image to grayscale and determines the average pixel brightness (a value between 0 and 1, where 0 is black and 1 is white).

Checks if the image is dark by comparing the mean brightness to a threshold of 0.2. If the mean brightness is less than 0.2 (i.e., the image is very dark), it applies a negative filter to the image (convert -negate), effectively inverting the colors (black becomes white and vice versa).

Sends the image to a printer (lp command) named MF741C-743C for printing.

That was a supremely enlightening explanation! I’m installing bluefin in a vbox to check it out and ordering a new SSD. Thank you!

Thank you very much for the recommendations! Out of curiosity, what are the benefits of using say bluefin over just plain fedora? I should also add that I prefer a long term support installation because I don’t reinstall very often. Thanks again

Looks like the common edition is outdated, but for the curious: https://wiki.astralinux.ru/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=37290417

If your local machine dies, and you have a backup on your phone which you cannot unlock… aren’t you screwed?

Where is the key stored?

Another vote for sublime. I’m a full stack web developer and it’s all I need. The native features and extensibility blow me away. It has so many features I’ll never use them all. Multiple cursor editing saves so much time. Really give it a chance and you’ll fall in love.

This is what I use, and I had totally forgotten that you could switch layouts. I switched from windows to Linux Mint Cinnamon about 12 years ago, and then to Ubuntu but I didn’t like the gnome menu. Having grown up with windows, that style of menu was what I was most comfortable with, and ArcMenu was there to fill the gap.
