Every company is going to use AI, both traditional machine learning or generative AI. Articles decrying this is like articles complaining about companies making products in factories with machines instead of by hand.

I fear they might get more than handcuffs. I remember listening to an interview with a NK defector talking about watching SK media. She said you had to do it under a blanket with the curtains closed and the door locked. If you get caught you might get the firing squad. She said she'd seen someone executed for selling some stolen rope, and they're public executions. Everyone over the age of 12 has to watch, mandatory.

Very important caveat on this tutorial is the use of the #truecharts version of NC.

Read truecharts.org/news/scale-faq/ why this is a problem. And use the TrueNAS catalog instead.

Unity cancels the stupid Runtime Fee gamingonlinux.com/2024/09/unitโ€ฆ

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

loosening their fishing nets for now, I guess.

I think this whole ordeal angered me personally because learning a new engine and APIs means dedicating so much time that you learn a new way of thinking.

If a company then uses that to trap an entire community, in my opinion that's just evil.



Unity is canceling the Runtime Fee and reverting back to its seat based subscription model

-Unity Personal will be free and they doubling the current revenue/funding ceiling from $100K to $200K

Buffer, my favourite social media tool, added scheduled Mastodon Thread posting support.

Not sponsored in any way, just a user. Itโ€™s how I post to Mastodon, Facebook and Twitter at the same time.

For Bluesky I just have a script to auto-post as soon as I publish, as I don't really care too much about Bluesky yet.

I just got curious about Bluesky and made an account a couple days ago. I had a follow within minutes, and more replies in an hour than Iโ€™ve had my whole time on mastodon. Plus, with multiple feeds, I was able to easily follow good accounts quickly.

I love the grass roots feeling of Mastodon, but itโ€™s often like screaming into the void. I posted a simple Linux question with the popular hashtags and got zero replies here. There, I got 5 replies.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Do you know if they support posting longer than 500 characters if the instance supports it?

Edit: Just checked, it is fixed at 500 chars. RIP.

In 2013, a senior university administrator where I worked โ€œjokedโ€ that - to garner more attention to our research - my team should imprison me & the 1 other woman in a basement. This was the same week in 2013 that national news focused on the 3 female victims kidnapped, abused & imprisoned in an Ohio house for over a decade. (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariel_โ€ฆ)

This person was a former political appointee now at the university. Everyone went silent, but no one responded.

my experience is men would rather the women minimise and pretend they're not upset than addressing the crappy male behaviour that makes working with them so exhausting and threatening

Steam still not specify that it has changed how it works, you can't invite friends/family members from other countries. Was it a problem? Perhaps but they solving it by making new version on steam families. Not happy about that especially as I have some family members that gone living/working abroad.
