I assumed the joke was his “girlfriend” was a man who’s been lying to him, at least that was my initial thought from the exceptionally hairy legs.

Trashbones@lemmy.sdf.orgto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Until now I thought drying filament wasn't that importantEnglish3·10 days agoMaybe an enclosure with inlet and outlet fans, and either a window AC unit or a dehumidifier dedicated to your printing room? I definitely recommend watching this video before investing in a dehumidifier, a lot of helpful information about how humidity works: https://youtu.be/j_QfX0SYCE8

Trashbones@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•uBlock Origin is no longer available in the Chrome storeEnglish1·2 months agoInteresting, funny enough I have sorta the opposite problem using Firefox for PDFs: I like the side by side view of two pages and Firefox always loads books with single pages, zoomed way too far in for my taste. Have you tried it for PDFs recently? It’s a new way of reading them for me, and I wonder if they’ve changed it since you used it last.
Trashbones@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•uBlock Origin is no longer available in the Chrome storeEnglish2·2 months agoI actually really like Firefox for reading pdf’s, how is it in chrome? I’ve never actually tried chrome for that because I was still using okular back when I still had chrome installed on anything.
Trashbones@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•uBlock Origin is no longer available in the Chrome storeEnglish2·2 months agoThis isn’t a direct replacement for tab groups, but there’s a Firefox extension called Tree Style Tab that organizes your tabs into a nested tree structure. I use it a lot to emulate tab groups and the way it lays out the tabs makes it much easier to read imo. It might be worth taking a look if tab groups are chromium’s “killer feature” for you.
If you don’t mind me asking, are there any other must-have features that chromium has that Firefox doesn’t?
There's actually a book series I enjoy, the Bobiverse series, that does an interesting take on it. In it a human, the eponymous Bob, gets digitized and becomes the AI of a Von Neumann probe. He's given the mission to make copies of himself, explore the galaxy, and build colonies for humanity.
Later on in the series...
As he makes more copies of himself, it's found that the personality of the copies diverge more and more the farther from the original that they descend, and they eventually devise a statistical way to measure this divergence. No two extant Bobs are ever the same person, even though they're identical copies.
However, it's also discovered that if a Bob makes copy of himself, shuts down his original AI matrix, and only then the copy is turned on, that Bob will have no measurable divergence from the one he was cloned from. It's measurably the exact same individual, and it implies that in-universe there's some fundamental, tranferable property of identy. Arguably some kind of "soul".
Not only that, if the original AI matrix is turned back on then that one starts displaying the divergence that was expected of the copy. This is used in one case to transmit the data of a Bob to a waiting, empty AI matrix around another star to avoid physical travel and side step the teleporter problem.
There's a lot of sci-fi hand waving in it, but I thought it was a fun way to approach the question.
Trashbones@lemmy.sdf.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•Gaming often fetishises the new but many great things exist in the past, so let's strap into our time machines and talk about our favourite games released before say 2010?English1·2 years agoThis game is actually a bit before my time since it was released two years before I was born, but the original XCOM game (aka UFO: Enemy Unknown) is still one of my favorite games of all time. And it’s just gotten better over the years with fixes and modding through OpenXcom.
I like the modern Firaxis games a lot too, and Xenonauts even moreso, but nothing has quite hit the same as the OG.
Trashbones@lemmy.sdf.orgto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts?English11·2 years agoAfter using it for a few days and having an account for a few hours (this is my first comment), I don’t think it will ever directly compete. But I think it does have chance to represent a “significant minority” of internet traffic if it doesn’t peter out early on, and it may already be passed the threshold for that happening.
You’d never say email can “compete” with twitter, but it’s still a significant way people interact with the internet. If lemmy does for independent communities and niche forums what email does for messaging, I’d consider it a huge success!
How can you tell it’s AI generated? This is a real question because I legitimately have trouble recognizing AI that doesn’t have egregious issues like mangled fingers, and unfortunately I think recognizing AI content is going to be a survival skill in the next decade.
