As someone currently going through the hassle of getting a solar setup going, I feel like I should inform people what I have learned. These solar systems use an inverter, and there’s 2 kinds of inverters. 1) the cheap kind that matches an AC wave form and will not work without being connected to a powered grid and 2) a wave generating inverter which will work without a grid allowing your house to still be powered in the event of a power outage

Yeah, at times just having a nice simpler job sounds nice. Not needing to deal with stupid error messages and poorly documented libraries.

He was one of 2 people that would clean like 4 buildings. Sometimes the other person wouldn’t show up (or one time his boss was arrested and given 22 years) and sometimes he’d call me to be the other janitor (sometimes he’d just do the job solo and keep the extra cash).

While it was kinda fun “mindless” work, I just bought a house and need my software developer pay to keep the house.

Buddy of mine was a night janitor during college. I had to help him a few times, and it wasn’t a bad gig, run around and vacuum, mop some stuff, take out the trash. Dude listened to music the whole time and basically never saw anyone. Sometimes I kinda want to quit doing software just to do night janitoring.

I mean the old site’s /r/PoiSonai has had success in getting LLMs to spew factually incorrect beautiful data that clearly came from that subreddit. This us an effective method of fighting LLMs.

Theres also a reason some art sites now integrate things like nightshade, it subtily alters the art but in ways that would throw off a computer.

TL;DR Make your data poison. It is effective at damaging the models.

I never got the hate for Saints rows 3, 4 and gat. 3 starts to take things a lot less seriously, but 4 and gat are incredibly fun and stupid sandboxes even if they don’t take anything seriously.

Never had those. I do regularly have dreams where due to some quirk of the rules or something my 3rd grade education or something didn’t count thus invalidating the rest of my education.

So I show up going “hey I’m like 30, can you just hand me a test or the years homework and I’ll be back next week” only to be told no, so I end up redoing the whole grade.

I mean, I have seen at least 1 Lemmy.world user here simp for the CEO.

Theres also zombie army trillogy. BTW these run om the same engine and have the same gameplay as sniper elite

Oh man, there’s been progress made. You must REALLY be going through it if progress is uplifting news.

Yeah huge pita to watch anything on YouTube now. Every 3rd recommended video is clearly made with AI, and I’m sorry but not sorry, your video needs to be made fully by humans for me to care. I don’t care how interesting the topic sounds, if there’s slop in there I’m not watching. I don’t care if the video is obviously low budget give it the human touch.

One of the more annoying things is when it’s AI stick figures, like bro, just draw them yourself, they’re stick figures.

Hell, a few weeks ago I came across a video titled “Why are slugs? Broadly speaking”. Its thumbnail proudly has a “No Ai” on there and it was a good and interesting video on snails and slugs.

Yeah, I want more trans inclusive radical misogynist stories. Like they’re so incredibly blursed and funny.

HE’S OUR’S NOW

Reminds me of “The guy” post from a while ago who managed to defeat someone’s eating disorder, managed to be radically trans inclusive for the weirdest reasons and a whole bunch of other stuff. Hold while I try to find it, I did save it.

EDIT: Found it

I mean, by US law (back when analog TV was standard) all TV broadcasts had to include closed captions on scanline 23(?) for people with hearing disabilities. it was part of the vertical blanking interval so it didn’t interfere with the regularly visible broadcast. It is good to include subtitles for all dialogue, spoken in the local dialect, in a foreign dialect, and even the various sign languages. That’s isn’t to say that yes, I fully agree that differently abled people should be able to take part in the dialog and should have accommodations where needed.

Semi related, did you know American sign language is closer to French sign language than it is to British sign language?

Your standard off the shelf easy to setup Linux ISO (mint for example) is like 4 GB after install, it includes a whole office suite, a few games, screensavers, GIMP, and a whole bunch of software you may not ever realize is on there or even need.

Did you know many distros standard install includes the GNU C/C++ compiler? Do most people need the GNU compiler? No, but the whole OS and all these tools is already smaller than a barebones install of windows since microslop just ships bloat.

Yeah I think it was removed in windows 7 or 8.

“Update and Shutdown” still acts as “Update and Restart” on windows. They added a whole new feature that is indistinguishable from the previous feature.

Though I agree macos has the problem of “well Firefox was open so I was stuck here over night”

You’re kinda being a dick to someone who has been vocally anti-trump since he first dated a trump supporter in 2012. That’s not a typo. Since Obama’s reelection I’ve hated the guy and voted against him in every election. Don’t blame me for him winning again.

There’s a lot of blame to be pointed directly at Biden and Kamala’s 2024 campaign for not reading the room and offering milquetoast promises.

If you don’t want to come back here fine, you’d personally give Republican’s ammo for their sudden hatred of Canadians and I would rather mend our two country’s relationship.
