To be fair, I think the majority of stand up comedians are also painful to listen to.

But you’re right, this is an exaggerated caricature of reality, like Monty Python or the Three Stooges but far less so.

Indeed, it turns out that high quality content is high effort, and therefore has a weaker ROI. I know it’s simply game theory, I just hate this particular game.

When will humans stop enjoying painfully staged videos like this? Like, who tilts the object away from themself but towards the camera to check why it’s not working?

I use single window mode but it still does not stop modal dialogs from popping up in the stupidest places on my dual monitor setup.

You’re in for a treat, nearly every episode in the newest season is delightful.

Maybe? It looks like it’s tuned towards generative use cases. Sometimes you need to just edit a photo really quickly and setting up a bunch of nondestructive nodes seems like more of a hassle than help.

But hopefully I’m wrong! This is the first I’ve heard of the project.

I’d really love if somebody would give GIMP the Blender treatment. It’s very good software but some of the UI paradigms are quite outdated. All their floating windows and dialogs do not work well on multiple screens.

I got one of those Firefox OS phones for work once, very cool idea but the performance just wasn’t good enough to be comfortable.

Agreed, numpy really could/should be built in.

Why would it be a bad sign that the language has built in tools for common things you need to do?

Good question! The answer can be found by looking at how most of the commercial open source products are monetized. Software hosting and technical support are quite lucrative if the software is valuable.

But let’s look bigger than just software. How do content creators get paid? That’s far less tested. I expect crowdfunding to be the primary vehicle for that. It’s popular for indies, but the big boys haven’t caught up with the times yet.

Indeed! My personal political alignment does in fact incorporate much of communism.

I’m a digital communist, at any rate. If something can be copied for free, it darn well ought to be free. Anything else is artificial and enforced by threat of violence.

I’ll drop JetBrains the moment something smarter comes out, but so far nothing has reached that level of code analysis.

Ironically pirating is the only way you can actually own (instead of license) software these days.

I’m happy that they give an option but goddamn would it kill them to have the safe option as the default for once?

No certifications, no degrees, just good, old fashioned 15 years of experience.

You cannot choose a world without AI. They will get built regardless of what you want.

With that in mind, the optimal (least bad) outcome is that your world views are represented in the dataset.

Your Lemmy posts are already being scraped for AI

Good, hopefully it’ll make AI that is slightly less toxic than the rest of the internet.

It always baffles me that people don’t want their content represented in an AI - every word you write that gets indexed is a vote for how future AI will behave.

Rich people are counterintuitively more susceptible to bribery.
