The article specifically says he did not get to try ape sperm on human women. I know it takes away some of the shock value of your post.

We can generate AI images, we can generate AI text, but text in an image is a no go?

I can't imagine there is but I'm wondering if I am missing something. I use GeForce Now and unfortunately it does not work in Plasma Wayland (issues with input redirection). Is there any problem with logging into an X11 session whenever I want to use that but using Wayland generally?

Here is what I've compiled so far:

  • Allen & Bright - Christmas Vol. 1 and 2
  • Trevor Gordon Hall - Let Your Heart Be Light
  • Tommy Emmanuel - All I Want For Christmas
  • Tommy Emmanuel - Christmas Memories

Any other recommendations?

I think there are two big reasons...

  • During the big Reddit exodus, a lot of people were recommending lemmy.world.
  • It's a general purpose instance. People tend to flock to those rather than more specific topical instances.

For-profit health insurance just makes no sense. This is the expected behavior of a for-profit insurance system.

I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don't know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is working.

So now I'm here pirating a show that should be available to me through a service I pay for. Gabe was right, piracy is a service problem.

My problem with this whole thing is that Chrome's only real competition (meaning it's not based on Chromium) is funded nearly entirely by Google paying to be the default search engine. If you aren't going to allow search engines to pay to be the default then Mozilla needs to find a completely different way to make money.

Holy crap, apple charges $200 to add 8GB of RAM. I just bought 32GB of DDR5 for the Framework I have on order for $95.

I recently switched my server over to running Plex and Home Assistant in Docker. I like the ease of transfer (just move my compose file and one directory where I have stored all the configs and I'm set) as well as the simple permissions management to give access to directories.

I have only used Fedora briefly, but I am considering it instead of my usual openSUSE because it is "officially supported" for the Framework 13 I have on order. I saw the immutable versions and the idea seems cool though I don't really understand what new I would need to learn or really what benefits it would have.

Is the concept overkill for a single-user laptop?

Xfce does not get updated often, so by that definition it is the most stable.

It's also pretty stable from the perspective of not crashing, but I can't say I've had much trouble with KDE either.

I was always a huge fan of the Guild Wars Mad King event. GW2 took it to the next level with a lot of fun activities.

What games have seasonal events that you enjoy?

I agree that quality matters, but when we have a number of active communities where the content is supplied by bots I don't know that I'd say we're winning on quality.

More users means more people contributing instead of bots.

Well, it would change their experience. They would see improved photo quality to/from Android users via text messages. But Apple has managed to train people to think that Apple's refusal to put iMessage on other devices is somehow a shortcoming of Android.

I played a ton of Diablo when it first came out, but never really got into Hellfire. I set it up on devilutionx on my phone and I've been playing a warrior. I keep getting "block locked." I remember that being an issue in Diablo, but not at all to the extent I'm seeing here. As few as three enemies can keep me locked up to where I can't fight back.

Am I misremembering Diablo, or are things worse in Hellfire for Warriors?

Cool, now can we get a cheaper plan that just plays music?

There are no circumstances under which I would be okay with it. Including ads means there is a chance that content is removed to appease advertisers.

I will happily donate to my instance once they start accepting donations.

Keyed my car. I'm not kidding. She keyed a message into the side of my car thinking it would get me back.

Has anyone else been getting frequent error messages on lemdro.id the last couple days? I am using the standard web interface and keep seeing something to the effect of:

I was on Play Music/YouTube Music for years and ultimately switched to Spotify as I found that YTM didn't have accurate information about obscure artists. For some obscure bands I like it either had no information (and so playing radio of them would just play their own music, or unrelated music I like) or poor information (and would play music that wasn't really similar). It also became "over-personalized" - for example, on my wife's account it would only play power metal if I played Blind Guardian radio, but on my account it would play death metal and stuff that's somewhat related but not particularly.

Spotify has been better on the first front as they have a better database of music, but still has issues with the second. I'm also frustrated with the number of ads I still get despite paying - not audio ads, but popups and such for concerts, or recommended podcasts or whatever while browsing.

Any recommendations? I tried Deezer but found that they have pretty poor info about artists - with very dissimilar artists being noted as similar.

By the same token, I don't see a big deal about the pronoun choice. Just choose She/Her or He/Him. You don't have to choose They/Their.

I'm thinking Crusader or Witch Doctor because of the speed build buffs to both, but I don't know. I'm sure DH/Monk will still outclass them.
