So chain of thought is an awful experiment that doesn't let you know how an AI reasons. Instead of admitting this, AI researchers anthropomorphize yet another test result and turn it into the model hiding their thought process from you. Whatever.

Cool I didn't know peertube supports live streams. Tried it and it worked like a charm

Getting better at communication takes time and practice. Depending on where someone is in that journey, a post like this can make a big difference. And I think we can all use a reminder to be kind every so often. So, thanks for taking the time to write this out

Dunno maybe you can subscribe to more instances (sublemmies? I don't know the lingo) and somehow filter out the ones that go bad quickly. My enjoyment of Lemmy went up by a lot once I started ignoring the front page and curating my subscribed instances. Just make sure you visit the list of communities every so often

There's a great level of detail mod that can keep distant structures and terrain loaded in. I think it's called Distant Horizons. That and a render performance improvement are the only mods that I play with, makes such a big difference.

AI currently completely does not understand the context of translation when it comes to visual media. Whereas a human translator can use that for additional interpretation

Yeah with Linux if it doesn't work you're often just screwed.

I can recommend a rolling release distro, having the latest and greatest can sometimes give you bugfixes that are critical for your setup. It can also break stuff but nothing a rollback won't fix.

Another reason to prefer rolling release is the upgrade path. For Ubuntu upgrading is just awful when you do any tinkering. I ran Kubuntu 20.04 for a while and because I had some custom package sources installed it wouldn't let me upgrade to 24.04. Nobody could help, and the package manager is awful it doesn't let you trace which packages are blocking the upgrade.

I'm kind of miffed that everyone is recommending mint as a starter distro because as soon as they start looking for guides on how to tinker there is a high chance they are going to make their system un-upgradable.

My first reaction was to say that "follow the sun" (this is the actual term used in interviews as far as I can tell) can't really improve production throughput any more than having multiple studios in the same country. But when you think about it having playtesters on an opposite timezone is pretty useful. And I'm sure you can set up some other sequential pipelines as well. I imagine it only works when the process is very streamlined though.

For some reason listed all the way in the corner, I used to love Bandcamp but they are US based sadly. Always thought of them as the good guys but they are owned by Epic now so who cares. The French Qobuz should be a good alternative for buying DRM free albums, haven't tried them yet though.

People give Spotify shit for paying artists awfully, does anyone know if this is better for Qobuz? I feel like revenue is always going to turn out bad when you're not buying any albums. €15 per month for 2x access is just not that much over a few hundred listens.

Also like someone pointed out Soundcloud is German. Worth mentioning again. This doesn't seem like a very carefully curated list, so I expect there to be a lot more options.

Yeah idk how someone can make that mistake. Its listed on their about page and Wikipedia.

Thanks for the guide on how to switch. I've been using a mail provider with my own domain for a while now. I'm not unhappy with their service but they only let me make a few inboxes. Good to know switching can be seamless.

Really pretty!
