The youtube algorithm determined the following: people who watch the kind of videos in your history, are also interested in recording netflix shows. And it was right, because you are in fact interested in that (general) topic. This is another possible explanation.

So whoever carries that anime figure is literally Luciferian.

Gotta make that cheddar.

The last time I bought a Mac was like 10 years ago, at an independent computer shop that specialized in them. The person at the register insisted on getting my personal info “because Apple needed it” but I didn’t want to give it. The person at the register very slowly sauntered up to their manager, had a long discussion, and eventually they figured something out because I suddenly didn’t need to give my info. It was kind of nervewracking because I was paying cash and I was like: what if I hand it over, and they change their mind? It’s not like I could call the cops, I’m the wrong demographic.

Anyway, whenever I thought about getting an Apple system, I remembered that experience and went with something else.

Thai fisherman wrap and tie pants

Agreed these are awesome. Sometimes for meetings I’ve got to put on worse pants just so I don’t get too comfortable though.

I didn’t; I made the chart almost a year ago, click on the link above it to see the 11-month-old comment.

Lemmy had around 1000 active users for the first half of 2023.

their stance is that the school policy didn’t explicitly say he couldn’t use AI,

According to the school’s lawyers, the policy against AI was stated in a presentation that the student attended, and the policy against AI was handed out at a parent’s night and on an online portal, see pg 4-6 of the following: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mad.275605/gov.uscourts.mad.275605.13.0.pdf

Thanks for the info! I suspect a lot of these issues will be resolved over time. But just like early html, there may always be some variation in how it’s ultimately displayed to the end-user.

I haven’t gotten any answers, but here’s what I’ve figured out myself so far. It’s useful to look at three different views of [email protected]:

• https://slrpnk.net/c/[email protected] - all of the youtube thumbnails are present.
• https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected] - only some of the youtube thumbnails are present.
• https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] - most of the youtube thumbnails are missing

lemmy.world is running the older backend 0.19.3, which may explain its behavior. But slrpnk.net and lemm.ee are both running backend 0.19.5 so why are they behaving differently? If I compare the same post on the two servers:

• https://slrpnk.net/post/13141132
• https://lemm.ee/post/41748793

I notice that the slrpnk.net one, while it does have a thumbnail, does not have the in-line images that I added and that are visible in the lemm.ee version. Possibly slrpnk.net does not allow uploaded in-line images? However, the lemm.ee version also has a video description in what appears to be Cyrillic. I read somewhere that this was due to a hosting issue. So maybe that is also responsible for the thumbnail issue. To summarize:

HYPOTHESIS: three things are responsible for image behavior differences:

• the older version of lemmy.world
• a hosting configuration of lemm.ee
• image upload restrictions of slrpnk.net

I wouldn’t do version control that way, but I’ve used Word to keep track of what I’m working on during integration tasks. It’s nice because you can drop in code, error messages, and screen captures. E.g.: the tool looks like this: (image) but gives an error like this: (error message) and I think the problem is in file.py around lines XYZ: (code snippet) when I run the command (command used), and I think the answer is in (a couple links I found).

No, it doesn’t sound petty to spend your money carefully. I hope things get better with D&D.

You can borrow the DVD from the library or buy it second-hand if you don’t want Hasbro/WoC to get your money. Even if you’ve moved on to Pathfinder or something else, it’s still a lot of fun.

It’s a great movie, the best movie yet to come out under the Dungeons and Dragons name. However:

The film made $93 million domestically, which is not good compared to the $150 million budget. Luckily, its worldwide total was $208.2 million, but with marketing costs, it is likely the film did not break even.

It’s often difficult to identify why a film didn’t perform well, but fan anger over the licensing changes likely contributed, e.g. see: https://screenrant.com/dungeons-dragons-honor-among-thieves-box-office-bomb-reason/

The movie could have been a huge hit instead of just maybe breaking even. Trying to rip off the core fans right before it came out was a dumb idea.

These are the same geniuses who tanked their big Hollywood movie by changing their game license just before the movie came out, right?

Sauron had more than the concept of a plan.

There’s a community in which people post examples of an AI image generator messing things up. I think that’s what they mean by “ai-images failing”. I think they’re saying: “you may think that by posting to such a community you are being critical of AI generators, but in fact you’re still filling your head with AI noise.”

I watched that gif like 10 times, hypnotized, until I even noticed the bottle-top coming off.
