  • Are all women in the south like this?

    Jump

  • Are non-Koreys and non-Martins allowed to answered this question?

  • Linux is Getting a New Default Folder in Your Home Directory

    Jump

  • Could you elaborate how the configuration might not be respected? Do you mean that you've often encountered applications that save files to hard-coded paths and do not even let you change the destination path?

    If you ask me, that's just bad software design. If the software is open-source, there is the option to request the developers to read the actual path of the respective well know directory from the XDG environment variables or allow configuration.

  • Anthropic joins the Blender Development Fund as Corporate Patron

    Jump

  • If we look at only the Blender Development Fund, the list of the corporate patrons include Meta, Google, Nvidia and even Adobe. In general, this is the situation for a lot of FOSS projects. If Anthropic as a Blender patron is bad news, then things were never good in the first place.

    In my opinion, whether it's good or bad, it is a compromise that we rely on.

  • Linux is Getting a New Default Folder in Your Home Directory

    Jump

  • The user does decide, XDG user directories are optional and configurable. Since they are already established, user-friendly distros / desktop environments already pre-install them.

    And what speaks against just using a new directory within your home directory as your "specific place that is user owned that isn't filed with cruft and configuration files"?

  • Steam Controller (2026) - PCGamer Review

    Jump

  • They clearly meant the cumulative age when two of the four children are holding the controllers together (must be a new Gen Alpha & Beta activity). The youngest child is 2 years old, the twins are 3 years old and the big boss is already 5 years old. There is no other reasonable way to interpret this.

  • Scroll-Driven Animations

    Jump

  • Websites that let me scroll down and up without any annoying animated hindrance have my thanks.

  • Why doesn’t a small platform like Lemmy have one big general "melting pot" community?

    Jump

  • Uh, I think it's the exact other way around. In practice most of the activity already is centralized in more general "melting pot" communities and the lack of engagement is the reason why the content is not distributed across the more specific communities.

    Why is this situation not intentionally desirable (on paper)? Well, it kinda misses the whole point of the federation. Lemmy, despite decentralization, is currently more dependent on a few of its communities than the evil corpo social media. Then again, this just proves that technical centralization has always been a lesser issue with the traditional social media services and that activity is where activity is.

    I still don't like the idea of one big general community. I'm certain that a lot of the people here don't want content just for the sake of content. Being forced to manually filter out most of the content would be a hot mess. On top of that, while activity might increase slightly in quantity, the quality would become even more superficial and shallow. For me personally, it'd be a reason to stop using Lemmy.

  • Constructed language (a language invented on purpose, like Klingon or Esperanto, rather than arising organically)

    Jump

  • Anyone feeling like doesn't belong anywhere?

    Jump

  • Yes, and I think a lot of immigrants and especially immigrants (grand-)children feel that way. We are lions in the sea and sharks in the woods. It's always difficult to explain to teachers (those who mean well) that not only I do not feel like a German, but I don't even consider it necessary. To me personally it's positive. I like cultures and traditions and obviously they are still part of my identity. But I like that I don't have the vulnerability of making them a bigger part of my identity than they need to be.

  • Stand somewhere else

    Jump

  • Did you hear him say "I'm in"?

  • For people who, like me, believe in Determinism(the Believe that is no True Free will), how do you draw the line for free will.

    Jump

  • I believe in causal determinism and personally I still believe in free will, because in a hypothetically undetermined existence where we have this magic power to make a decision, it makes an impact whether or not I believe in it. In a determined existence whether I'm aware of it or not doesn't matter as it's already determined.

    When it comes to laws, ethics and judgements, I don't think there is a clear solution, since all of this is built on the idea of free will and specifically accountability. We have this weird line, because only with time we took some levels of determinism into account for judging an action, e.g. psychological determinism.

    I'm not sure where my line is. I guess in practice it makes sense that we can only consider determining causes where we can describe the events that lead to the action in detail (that too is vague and contextual). E.g. Tourette causing someone to say the n-word is more direct, clear and definitive than a traumatic event leading to abuse. Then again, it also means my lack of (specific) information in the chain of causation decides how I view someone.

  • Is it possible to not know who a famous person is?

    Jump

  • He had wanted to call himself the Weekend, but there was already a rock band in Ontario called that, so he dropped a letter.

  • AI vs LLMs: The Misnomer That's Costing Us

    Jump

  • AGI is just a type of AI. It's a term coined long after AI that doesn't define new goals and capabilities that weren't already part of AI research, except that they were rather abandoned. If anything, "AGI" was the marketing term to revitalize and focus on those ideals. So there is nothing wrong with the general public to associate "AI" with what you would specifically describe as "AGI".

    Furthermore, I don't understand what this public perception has to do with your claim. If they thought of only narrow AI, then would it not make even more sense to call their LLM-based products AI...

  • What's your backup plan if AI takes your job?

    Jump

  • When people tell you that AI will (or already does) take a lot of jobs, it's not necessarily implied that it's good enough to replace humans. Just that it is sold well enough to the people who make those decisions.

  • Why don't I care about the Artemis mission/program?

    Jump

  • Funny that you feel this way, because I thought about posting a similar and yet almost opposite post to !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world. I think it gets too much attention compared to other missions.

    I think the Artemis mission isn't completely useless and even regardless of Lunar economy and nostalgic motivation, there are some benefits, sure. But all of this over-sensationalized exposure with more emphasis on the USA is the reality check that we're slowly resetting to a space race. I always thought that it was a beautiful story that what started as competition turned into the biggest evidence of our united efforts. And while I don't think collaborations will end, I fear that they will turn into alliances and we are back to competition.

  • Scam Altman says it’ll take another year before ChatGPT can start a timer. An $852 billion company, ladies and gentlemen.

    Jump

  • Shit like this is a reminder to me that a large portion behind some AI products' hype are people who have no clue what these products even do. I wonder how the world would change, if these jack of all trades who invest waste so much time into collecting ideas to fill up their pockets, instead spent more time on actually understanding the ideas they have chosen and build at least a fundamental knowledge.

  • Straight people, would you date a non-binary person?

    Jump

  • No, because I'm not dating at all.

  • Die Schland-App kommt: SAP und Telekom sollen zentrale Bürger-App bauen

    Jump

  • Wir sollten schon mal die Entwicklung der übernächsten und überübernächsten Bürger-App zuweisen, bevor schon diese hier auch wieder mit digital-bürokratischem Chaos fallen gelassen wird.

  • How do first time movie writers ensure someone along the way won't get ripped off? Like say Jay in the mail room sees your scripts and develops it himself, what recourse is there against mail clerk?

    Jump

  • For legal protection you register your script (e.g. in the USA with the WGA or USCO) or you maintain evidence. Whether or not you should worry about it is debatable. And it might be different everywhere. But first time movie writers, especially in Hollywood, should rather worry about getting into the industry in the first place. And for that, no matter what some scammy gurus, who teach you the 3 act structure like some form of deep complex science, tell you, your screenplay matters very little.
