Well someone needs to prompt the AI, find reddit articles to copy and make sure the final article has all the SEO to make it show up in searches to earn the company ad revenue. The high ups at Valent aren't going to do the dirty work and underpaying someone to be a writer also allows them to shift some of the blame should there be a major issue with an article.
The first sentence of Valent's about page says "Valnet was founded in 2012 by builders with […] an obsession with scale." Based on this I'm sure that at some point in their constant acquisition and gutting of known brands they will try or have tried having AI make and publish the articles directly, but I also feel like people are more likely to stop visiting a site where the content is directly from an LLM than one that has human written/edited articles with heavy LLM involvement.
It was probably quicker to ask an AI to edit it than to make the edit personally and the writers for these sites are paid very little to churn out multiple low effort articles a day
Yeah, I saw the issue number didn't seem to match up, but gave up verifying it when I couldn't find a source to view the actual comics from that era to find the original panel. Was hoping it would be something that the LLM would be able to magically pull from it's training data or the web, but I'm guessing it was hampered by the same lack of a digital copy of comics from the era that stopped me from looking into it further.
Gemini thinks the speech bubble has been edited, but the panel is an original from "The bat-mite bandits" issue, note however that I don't think the issue number matches up and I'm not sure where to find a copy of the comics online to verify, so it could just be an AI hallucination
This specific panel is from Batman #141, published by DC Comics in August 1961.
The story in this issue is titled "The Bat-Mite Bandits." In the unedited comic, the panel depicts Batman attempting to crawl out of a deep pit or trap, and his dialogue actually reads: "I can't make it! My strength is gone!" The "bat-hole" line is completely a modern photoshop edit circulating online as a meme.
They've always designed around ensuring good Linux support with their component choices and support of fwupd, but their marketing focused on being repairable and upgradable, unlike companies like System76, who explicitly sell their laptops as Linux laptops. It seems they've recently started advertising their Linux support more, possibly due to their partnership to have Ubuntu pre-installed, possibly due to seeing just how many Linux users they already had or possibly due to the number of people switching from Windows to Linux.
Four spaces followed by a carriage return also gives a new line,but without the spacing of a new paragraph (I included one after the comma as an example)
Yeah, typically ICC profiles are used to make colour reproduction more accurate, but it should be possible to use one to make colours more vibrant/saturated instead of focussing on accuracy, the main hurdle will be creating a profile that does this how you want. Looking online it seems there are some tools that can edit/create ICC profiles like RawTherapee's ICC profile creator and Argyll CMS, but these might be challenging to use to get the result you want.
For a simple solution you could try nVibrant if you have an NVidia GPU, or vibrant-cli if there is a Wayland compatible version (you mentioned it in your post, but from what I could find it only supports X11).Gamescope can be run separately from Steam, but still has the issue that it will only work for whatever application is running within gamescope (unless you run the entire plasma desktop within it).Someone has made a GLSL shader to increase vibrance, that is part of a kwin-effect-shaders project, but it hasn't been updated in 3 years. If you are going to make your own KWin script/effect, then that shader might be a good reference.
In the UK we have (in UK pints, 1 pint = 568ml): 1 pint, 2 pints, 4 pints and 6 pints. We also have slightly smaller metric sizes (1L, 2L) that are typically seen in convenience stores or on branded milk.
I would say that 4 pints (2.273L) is the typical size that most would buy for regular use, with smaller sizes popular for those that don't have cereal/porridge. I find that milk from the supermarket tends to keep well, so it's not that difficult to get through a 4 pinter, unless all you use it for is adding some in your tea - in which case you can just get a 1 or 2 pint jug.
You could probably create a colour correction (.icc) profile for this and apply that to your monitor in the settings, but I know nothing about creating ICC profiles so can't help you there
Even if you check, you should download with curl and check the downloaded file, then run that, as a malicious server could present a normal download to browsers based on user agent and other fingerprinting data, while presenting a malicious script to curl
Wish people would stop suggesting the pipe to bash scripts as an install method but the simplicity of being able to tell all Linux and Mac users to just paste a string into their terminal to install and letting the script deal with any differences between systems is probably why we keep seeing it for major projects, rather than a long list of instructions for different distros
Also infuriating is when the OP gets told by a mod to stop posting AI slop comments and OP responds:
I'm explaining the project in as detailed and clear a manner as possible - using the LLM to do it. The same one that helped me build it. Shut it down then man, why warn me?
Would be nice if they supported any old flatpak, but I expect they will have their own packaging format that can only be installed from their own store and not side-loaded. They certainly will want to lock down and control what applications can do.
Depends how well they lock it down, Kindles are based on Linux and several of the recent models didn't have any jailbreaks available until winterbreak came out. Not sure if Amazon have managed to patch against it but I took the opportunity to jailbreak mine as soon as I found out about winterbreak.
Also worth noting that on the android based fire TV sticks, you can install android apps easily, not sure Amazon will give you that freedom on the Linux versions
