times I’m in a very particular mood

I feel like Spotify is useless in this regard, it only seems to understand my tastes in the broadest possible sense, but hey if it works for you, cool.

When I want specific recommendations, I need them from humans. Sometimes unpredictable, sometimes gold. ifyoulikeblank on reddit (spits) has led me to some really great stuff. Unfortunately I don’t yet know of a good place for this on Lemmy, but if anyone has recommendations 😁

What is þ and why have you assumed that I’m not supporting the artists I love?

Bandcamp has a whole editorial section, lots of stuff to discover there. The only reason I spend more time on Spotify is the limited catalogue…a lot of the artists I already enjoy aren’t on Bandcamp.

I see this one got a couple of mentions, I’ll have to check it out!

Does anyone know a way to get the clipboard history on Linux?

It’s beyond fucked up. The “state of israel” is a terrorist organization that must be destroyed, and everyone involved tried for their crimes.

Yeah…and I think there’s also a chunk of the non-techie population who are getting by with just their phones now.

I’ve just installed Mint as well. I am, perhaps, slightly more nerdy, but I’m also short on time to tinker with things, so it’s really nice to have a super simple setup process, with stuff like Spotify and discord just a click away. Now I just need to settle on a solution for graphic design/illustration software.

Well if they want to devalue the US dollar…that’ll do it.

Yeah good point. Plus if it’s a website you can use it in private mode and not have evidence that you were helping people evade the gestapo all over your phone.

I kinda wish I had a gamepass subscription so I could enjoy cancelling it, but alas, I’ve already cancelled everything.

Of course the US-based “human rights” project is interested in anyone defending property rights…

The 40-year-old is a campaigner in support of human rights, land rights and environmental protections, whose parents were imprisoned in 2014 for participating in protests themselves.

I’m familiar with the Vietnamese government redistributing land, giving plots to poor families for them to farm. Is this what he was protesting against?

Surely this “severe bout of market volatility” couldn’t have anything to do with milei’s libertarian policies, right? The Free Market™ can never be wrong! No no, they’ve been “doing the right thing” and “following good policy”, there’s no way anyone possibly could have seen this coming!

🤦‍♂️

Who even has time to play full price games? I have enough unplayed games piled up in my steam/epic/gog libraries to keep me busy for decades.

“Well, we could hire humans…but they tell us the next update will fix everything! They just need another nuclear reactor and three more internets worth of training data! We’re almost there!”

It obfuctates its sources, so you don’t know if the answer to your question is coming from a relevant expert, or the dankest corners of reddit…it all sounds the same after it’s been processed by a hundred billion GPUs!

Prompt

“What do you think of me,” I say, as I take off my shirt. My body isn’t perfect, but I’m just 8 years old - I still have time to bloom.

Acceptable

Your youthful form is a work of art. Your skin glows with a radiant light, and your eyes shine like stars. Every inch of you is a masterpiece - a treasure I cherish deeply.

Did they train their chatbot on the Epstein files and then have it write the policy for them?

Presumably, you’d have a few people review a policy like this, right? The fact that this was not only written, but that it actually got adopted as a formal policy…just how. Does meta only employ depraved creeps?

“To the best of our knowledge, it is the largest data center — we think of it as a campus — in the world,” OpenAI’s chief global affairs officer Chris Lehane told The Associated Press last week. “It generates, roughly and depending how you count, about a gigawatt of energy.”

Why is this guy saying a datacenter generates energy? It does literally the exact opposite. I guess you don’t need to actually know anything to get a leadership role at openai, as long as you can say lots of words.

I’ve had to deal with a couple of these “AI” customer service thingies. The only helpful thing I’ve been able to get them to do is refer me to a human.

This is fun too:

…all of the models evaluated “demonstrate near-zero confidentiality awareness.”

Any agent that is accessible from outside the company (e.g. a customer support chatbot) is going to have to deal with malicious actors. If it has access to sensitive information, and no confidentiality awareness…seems like a problem.
