If it ain't fun, you're not doing it right.

I hope the design won't call for the floppy to be inserted into the vibrator...

@wim_v12e I once calculated that my 42-inch 4kUHD TV has 18 pixels per mmยฒ (which I bought not for the 4k functionality but rather because it was the only model which the shop had that also did 3d). There is no way you can see individual pixels before you are close enough to see compression artefacts.

I laugh at these Samsung phones with 4k screens. Do they ship them with a microphone or do you have to buy those separately?

Just plain sed?

My guess:

You want the memory size in bits to be a power of two because that makes the memory easier/cheaper to manufacture, and it should *also* be a power of two in bytes so you don't waste address lines. These constraints are only met together if your byte size is indeed a power of two.

I'm pretty sure about the second constraint, but don't know if the first one is true; that's just speculation. It seems like that would make sense though?

@foone
Is it a Canadian design perhaps?

Your challenge is not to convince people that ChatGPT can do interesting things. We all know that. Your challenge is to prove that it can do things that can't be done with advanced statistics.

It's not hard to extrapolate that new features require updates (that's always been the case) nor that the FBI doesn't like encryption in the hands of citizens (same)...

EOT for me.

@donaldball @ieatkillerbees
There's a point where questioning an actual expert on the subject becomes ridiculous. You've gone past that point before two others backed the original person up. Are you really sure you want to take this further?

@matthew_d_green
@ieatkillerbees Yes. Absolutely. What you know as 'AI' is nothing but statistics. Advanced statistics yes, but nothing more than that.

@Suiseiseki @marcan Even if that was true (which it isn't), software doesn't get written by magic, it gets written by human beings. Harassment demotivates people, and that means software stops being written. So apart from the very obvious fact that nobody should have to be targeted by abusers and harassers, improving your community's health also improves the output (both quality and quantity) of your community.

You are very wrong.

@Annasaur @georgetakei oh he would totally sign... and then renege.

He just doesn't care.

@dekkzz76
Whoops, sorry. I only saw it yesterday after @fosdem reacted to it, hadn't noticed that your original toot was almost a week ago.

My fault, sorry.

@dekkzz76 @fosdem maybe you should realize that the release of videos, while automated as much as possible, cannot be fully automated and therefore it takes work (which implies time) for us to release videos. They're being released on a daily basis as work completes.

Given that, "as of last week" is completely useless and outdated information.

@dekkzz76

@fosdem that one should be available. Isn't it?

@drewdevault yes. It's why freedesktop.org exists: so that gnome, kde, and other free desktops can cooperate on underlying infrastructure, while diversifying where they disagree.

@zhenech if python had made allowances for these kinds of things, we wouldn't be here?

And I think you're looking for ๐Ÿฅ and ๐ŸŽฉ ๐Ÿ˜‰

@zhenech actually, I'll happily join you. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Dat heet "sluikstorten" en je kan daar klacht voor neerleggen? Leuke aan auto's is dat ze een heel duidelijke nummer erop hebben die de politie kan gebruiken voor dat soort dingen...

@mirabilos no, I've learned the only way to use inkscape safely is to memorize the 'save' keyboard shortcut and to hit that after *every* operation.
