Is Sharon Apple somehow involved? Can we get a list of virtual idols with suspicious behavior?

That was me. My mistake.

It seems like a lot of work maintaining healthy poly relationships. I don’t think I’d be able to manage it, though I have a few friends who apparently are very happy doing their thing

Dang I wish I knew that at the time. I had to run it many times before I was satisfied that my history was properly edited before deleting everything

I can’t speak to the article that you’ve posted several times due to the paywall, but I can speak to the language and the antagonistic attitude they actually used during the entire debacle. Placing explicit blame on third party apps like Apollo, Sync, Boost, etc.- that was the argument used. It doesn’t matter what the real reason was. They were publicly placing blame on small fish instead of the AI monster that was stealing all of their content and bandwidth

IIRC that was not the case. They very publicly blamed 3rd party apps, which was both disingenuous and not transparent.

I buy shitty local brand and they taste like shit because they’re the cheap kind. I cover up the flavor with sugar and milk.

Except when I’m not poor. And then I buy from my friends who source truly delicious beans and I savor it unsullied

This motherfucker trying to pull a Momonga

Chiming in that editing with proxies, while potentially cumbersome, is pretty standard. Feature films and TV shows are often edited in 720p for that exact reason. ProRes or h.264, depending on your needs and capabilities. Final renders are just a matter of turning the proxies off.

I dabbled in kdenlive for half a day while looking for something my nephew could use for a school project. Didn’t realize the lack of hardware acceleration until this thread. Still, it’s a great piece of software and I’m looking forward to watching it develop further

[email protected] is one cool dude. Their fingerprints are all over Lemmy in an obviously much needed manner. I’m glad I joined their instance.

Yep my buddy at VMware was waiting to get laid off all year. Finally happened two weeks ago

My niece had this same issue a few years ago but with Photoshop. It absolutely ruined her. Changed schools multiple times (public and private) but social media exists so all the kids knew. She ended up getting homeschooled for the last 5 years of school as well as a fuckload of therapy. She came out the other side okay but she has massive trust issues and anxiety

I still Google reddit threads for stuff I know will exist there already. DIY, software, niche things. It can’t be helped because it’s easily accessible. While I appreciate Lemmy very much, the historical repository that is reddit still trumps many other places. For now.

I don’t visit for any other reason.

Me for the pixel 8 pro. I’d rather the regular pixel 8 but if I’m going to keep this thing for 7 years (which I will; typing from a pixel 2) then I want it to be as feature rich as possible. Not looking forward to how big it’s going to be when it finally gets delivered

He looks like the mangled villain in Red Dragon. You know, the guy Hannibal the Cannibal fucked up with a piece of glass?

Just downloaded it yesterday. Is there some way to get it to cast to other devices (eg Alexa, Nest, TV, etc)?

I had a sweet Brother for ten years at home. It was huge but reliable in every way that I needed. Finally shit the bed and my wife’s work got her a Canon and it is just garbage.

Hard drives in a pinch for work. Other than that I only go to buy TVs, which I haven’t done in 6 years

As long as they speak the language I don’t foresee a los on productivity

I would hate for people to see this index of places with potentially illegal content. The temptation is just too high. I’ll gladly guard it from innocent users with you. My eyes and heart are ready to protect the realm.
