lol - looks like they were lying about Windows 7 usage, only for some developer to accidentally reverse the bullshit.

I thought this was linkin park

The problem with overeating, is once you need to stop yourself, it’s harder to - because you still need to eat. You still need to keep doing the thing that you’ve got a problem with.

Imagine if to “stop smoking”, you had to smoke 3x a day?

That’s why eating disorders are so damn hard for people.

The benefits to jailbreaking it are that you can change the layout of the device, remove store icons, and just in-general tidy up the UI a bit. I haven’t seen anything game-changing from the jailbreak; like adding apps or something.

It’s not a software problem, the Oasis has free cellular service for life.

If you turn your Wifi off on an Android phone for example - it still scans and uses the wifi to keep track of your location, for instance. It’s an anti-consumer pattern that companies are using. Airplane mode? – Sure, for YOU. But Amazon probably still allows cell service to connect every couple of hours for exactly this kind of thing.

The error message she received wasn’t sly about it either. It said something very direct along the lines of “We have determined that you are not eligible to read this book so we have removed it from your device”

I’ve been slowly filling my wife’s Kindle Oasis full of pirated books over the last 2 years. I got it initially because it had internet service everywhere and I could just email her the epubs to simplify loading things.

A couple of weeks ago, even though airplane mode is always on for this thing, (so no wifi either) – this thing wipes something like 400 books from her library overnight. Granted, they were all pirated, but they’re doing some nasty stuff there. It looks like there’s renewed effort to combat this.

Sooooo, I sold it and bought her a Kobo Libra Color. Now, I just have her open up https://send.djazz.se/ – give me the 4 digit code, and I can upload books to her that way. Goodbye Amazon. Don’t let the door hit you.

There are absolutely a fuckstick worth of George Floyd memes out there like this too. I say let people have fun. There are like 8b people on this planet, and far more important people than him are dying, like the people in gaza.

Maybe now is the time for me to transition back into IT work. :D

It reminds me of people on LGBT forums and seeing shit like: “I’m a man, and I like women, but I don’t feel sexual attraction towards all of them, only the ones I feel a connection with; what are my labels?”…and wanting to scream “NORMAL! NORMAL IS YOUR LABEL! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!”.

Meanwhile everyone is like “Oh, you’re ace+/romantic”…/sigh…

Games should allow you to discover their features, they shouldn’t be telling you directly. That’s the cool part of figuring out a new combo in Mortal Kombat, etc.

They don’t give you a clippy tooltip that says “Press Up Up Down B A Down Down to rip this bitches head off!” – You figure out the combos on your own, or with friends.

This idea of every little thing having to be presented DIRECTLY to the user is laziness. There are ways to help a user discover things narratively.

It’s so weird that players these days don’t press buttons and figure shit out on their own…do you really need a tutorial for a basic weapon?

I mean, it makes complete sense. Photoshop has had ‘magic fill’ for a long time and that’s basically just stable diffusion inpainting.

I’ve had a lot of customers of mine using AI tools to be able to create things they’d never have been able to hire anyone to do, or be able to learn themselves.

It’s really easy too, for an artist that only does 2D shading, etc - to convert their 2D character to 3D and get textures, while cleaning up and continuing the work. Sites like Meshy are really good for quick prototypes, and then you can swap them out later for fully produced models. Especially indie games where someone might not have the artistic chops, but they have the programming chops.
