You could have the PCs be in service to an evil wizard or overlord, and just take any regular plot and give them the baddies’ role.

You could have multiple factions in a city, like noble houses, and give them some sort of goal to accomplish in that context. Think Game of Thrones or the drow in Menzoberranzan.

You could have them doing something “good” but with a “the ends justify the means” mentality.

The way I read it, he was making it hard to remove the empty sidebar after blocking the ads in it.

I’m confused what your issue is with the dev. He seems to have posted because uBO was breaking the site for premium users and then got told “just stop monetizing effectively.” Only one reply (don’t use such an obnoxious way to insert the ad sidebar) was actually helpful, though it was at odds with part of his monetization strategy (pay for Premium to get that extra space).

If uBO devs had said “Sure, give this account premium access and we’ll check it out” and he’d refused, that would be different, but instead they said there was nothing he could do to help them and banned him from participating.

It also doesn’t seem that he’s intentionally breaking the app when uBO is in use. Rather, uBO breaks the app when ads aren’t being served and he is now detecting when this happens and serving a message about the fact.

Does anyone know of similar image editors out there that can batch-crop images in a certain aspect ratio/resolution and then export them to webp?

Not similar, but Image Magick can crop images from the cli and has webp support.

Now I’m imagining Breaking Bad but making E instead of Meth.

I didn’t say it wasn’t convenient. I said it was counter intuitive.

That’s pretty much the standard.

• On iPhones and iPads, swipe from the left to go back. In a book on such a device, swipe from the right to go forward.
• On eReaders, particularly Kindles, tap on the right side to go forward; tap on the left side to go back.
• On Android with gestures enabled, swipe from the left side to go back. Or… swipe from the right side to go back. Counter intuitive but apparently at least one person uses that.

Assuming OP has standard gestures enabled, they could still swipe from the left side.

Being operated by a right leaning organization isn’t the same as having a right leaning user base, though

Is that only true if you recognize that Dems are right of center?

The system is still “PC” in this case, even if technically the platform is different. And since you have to log into your account with their service, they can easily confirm that you own the game.

I don’t have to create an account to play Slay the Spire on Android.

IMO, yes. I think it would make people more, rather than less, inclined to comment on a cross-post made in a smaller communities, since then their comment would be more visible.

The main concern I can see being raised is potentially leading to brigading? I’m not sure if that’s much of an issue on Lemmy and I would assume being able to de-federate would mitigate that substantially.

I believe you set env vars on Windows through System Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables.

I believe you just need to set the env var OLLAMA_HOST to 0.0.0.0:11434 and then restart Ollama.

What OS is your server running? Do you have an Android phone or an iPhone?

In either case all you likely need to do is expose the port and then access your server by IP on that port with an appropriate client.

In Ollama you can expose the port to your local network by changing the bind address from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0

Regarding clients: on iOS you can use Enchanted or Apollo to connect to Ollama.

On Android there are likely comparable apps.

Please, enlighten me - how do you propose we use the term “AI” in a way that’s more useful than a definition that includes machine learning, large language models, and computer vision?

I doubt I’ll agree with your definition, but I’m curious to see how you would exclude machine learning, computer vision, LLMs, etc., from your definition. My assumption is that your definition is going to be either a derivative of “AI is anything computers can’t do yet” or based on pop culture / sci fi, but maybe you’ll surprise me.

To be clear, I’m a software engineer; I’m not speaking in sales speak. I’ve derived my understanding of the term from a combination of its historical context and how it’s used in both professional and academic contexts, not from marketing propaganda or from sci fi and pop culture. I’m certainly aware of the hype machine that’s ongoing, but there are also tons of fascinating advancements happening on a regular basis, and the term “AI” is at minimum a useful term to refer to technologies that leverage similar techniques.

it’s not ‘ai’, it’s just a poorly trained voice recognition system that’s trying to decipher any random person’s voice.

I’m baffled that you can say “It’s not ‘AI,’ it’s a machine learning powered speech to text system” with a straight face.

Even if we were to agree that ML-powered speech to text isn’t AI (and I don’t agree to that premise, for the record), there’s still the matter of processing the transcription to transform it into something that can be understood by the point of sale system - aka natural language processing. And while that NLP could be implemented without use of an LLM, given LLM’s current level of hype and the ease with which they can be shoved into any given product, I wouldn’t bet on Taco Bell execs approving such an approach, much less asking for it.

He’s definitely innocent. Sorry, thought I had an “allegedly” in there. Gonna edit my comment to add one now, thanks for calling that out

Why would we like him less? Being privileged and throwing that away means he had more to lose and did it anyway.

I hear more complaints about Windows from Windows users than from people who solely or primarily use other OSes. Unless you count “Okay… so why don’t you do something about it?” as a complaint, that is.

I think that makes you “the guy who really likes to talk about Linux.”
