Assassin's creed Valhalla.

I had done the same thing for about 60 hours, and when I finally thought I was done with the monotony I was transported to 2 new locations that required me to do around and do boring fetch quests. I just never went back to it, and that was... 2 years ago? Still installed, just don't care.

Story was fine but there was so much boredom between actual story that what was the point.

I do, and I've seen about half and half. Half of the companies are rushing to pay Microsoft gobs of money, the other half are like consumers trying as hard as they can to turn it off.

That's what annoyed me about minio. Started super crazy simple to set up, but I missed two updates and came back to AWS levels of mandatory configuration. Ffs I chose you because you were simple, not because I needed to replace s3

I haven't been there in over a year now, but it sounds about the same as it was then.

Here on Lemmy we just defederate with horrible instances and start our own communities!

You know, like how money works

This is one of those things I stay out of.

It's not healthy for kids. But they enjoy it. But it's definitely used by China for spying. But people should know better than to put private stuff on there.

However the bill I'm against, they put a lot of internet spying in there too in the name of saving the children. So...

Yeah we'll just see how it turns out

I don't think it's that simple. Cortana came out too late, well after Google and Apple's assistants had fully taken over. Their speakers were large and clunky. To compensate they forced it in front of everyone, adding it to everything just like copilot. it's just their poor approach to marketing, they think shotgunning it everywhere is a smart idea.

I think they're going to face the same issues with copilot. I think it may have moderate success, but everyone I know goes to ChatGPT, they don't use copilot. I see a lot of resentment too about it popping up everywhere, and not just from the super techie people here - but average users too. It just feels the same as Cortana. The problem is that it is cool tech, they just don't understand how to market it well. ChatGPT is simple, it's cool, it's right there when you need it. Microsoft makes their products somehow always uncool, not fun to work with, and annoying.

I'm actually flattered that I have this... reputation on Lemmy lol.

Personally, I don't care if celebrities come and join, even Taylor. Honestly that's one of the reasons I'm okay with threads starting to federate, I see celebrities joining there and then we can sub from our instances. Best of both worlds imo.

Backed into a corner? Don't know how to make an argument? Hey we've all been there. Just say it's about the children! That means you get to win!

Good observation, I bet you're onto something...

 

...they'll just pick up the drugs with their other hand

 

From Friday, sorry falling behind in posting these :/

 
 

Some soul crushing no hope for the human race comments for you:

 

Honestly these don't look bad...

Private and public investment in clean energy rose to a total of $147B in the first half of this year — a record-setting figure.

Exactly two years ago today, President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act, establishing a wide array of clean energy programs meant to supercharge spending on climate solutions.

Investment in clean energy projects — from solar manufacturing facilities to home batteries to hydrogen hubs — has taken off ever since, rising to record heights in the first half of this year.

Across the first six months of 2024, U.S. cleantech investment hit $147 billion, per new data from the Clean Investment Monitor, a joint project from Rhodium Group and the MIT Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research. That’s a more than 30 percent jump from the first half of 2023. The report measures actual investment — not announcements or plans — from both public and private sources.

 

Hey folks! Not sure where to put this, but since I'm doing this to install Bazzite soon, why not.

I have a HTPC that currently has an NVidia card in it. Since Gamescope doesn't play nice with nvidia, I'm going to upgrade the GPU. I have a 6900XT in my primary rig, love the thing. here's the thing though, I was going to put it into my original HTPC, but it was too long by about 0.5 inches.

Does anyone have either A) a recommendation on a GPU that can drive a 4K tv that is shorter than 12" or B) Know of any good sites that have a filter?

It's a pretty intense machine, since the whole family uses it. I'm planning on about a grand for the new GPU, if it works like my 6900XT. Less is of course better, but I don't want this one struggling personally.

Thanks for any rec's!

Every day, we work to make our platform the best it can be, which includes regularly revisiting our terms and policies (also known as our House Rules) to make sure they meet the needs of our growing community and allow us to continue to support you. Today, we’re sharing a few updates that go into effect on September 15, 2024.

We’ve made some changes to our dispute resolution clause (section 11) for users in North and South America, with updates to our arbitration procedures for smaller matters and for coordinated or “mass” arbitrations (with 25 or more claimants). We have also updated the choice of law that’s applicable to the Terms. As before, the arbitration agreement includes a class action and jury waiver, which means we’ll be resolving most disputes in private, individual arbitration, and not in court. Please read this section carefully. We’ve added which entity acts as the merchant of record, depending on a buyer’s currency and location of your payment instrument.

So, if you're upset at all you can't sue, you can't go to the courts, you have to sit in a an arbitration with someone we choose who (trust us) won't be biased.

To add in, an annoyance for sure:

Effective July 29, our Adult Nudity and Sexual Content Policy introduces more rigorous guidelines regarding our prohibitions of nude or sexual content, as well as how to appropriately list certain mature content.

Pose picker extension? (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)
 

I think this was here a while ago, but I lost the post. If I remember, there was an extension where someone had built up a repository of poses, and then in the UI you could go through them and pick out the one you wanted for your image. Does anyone remember that? I have controlnet and can do poses, but finding them is a bear right now.
