Dawarich 1.9.1

I was more thinking of being able to "mark" part of the 24/7 recording as a drive to work so it could be found and aggregated later.

You know, it's free to self host, so I'll just experiment and see how it works :)

Looks great!

Small question, is it possible to log a specific journey? For example in Denmark you are required to keep a precise log of your driving if you want to get a tax rebate, so if you could log a specific journey and save it for later for tax documentation, that would be great.

Americans Have Turned Against AI in Incredible Numbers

Reply in thread

I'm on the low end and have heard nothing but distain for AI (aside from "cool chatbot, but why?" or experimenting with local LLMs to find useful use cases). I have also run a local LLM but I just don't see the use case. Even for coding most of the effort goes into solving the problem, so if it is already solved in your head it isn't gonna take much time to code it. An no, LLMs can't solve the problem any better than stackoverflow could (good luck on the novel problems).

Oh and don't forget to mention that LLM providers are currently socialising the losses of their exorbitant investments through "creative" IPOs with immediate listing in indices.

me looking at my 190 cm/110 kg daddy

Reply in thread

Welcome to the club. I was also a competitive swimmer and I don't remember a moment where I wasn't eating or swimming. Even stealth eating during class. But I could not breach 70kg. Covid got me just above 70 so now I am right in the middle of the normal BMI range.

My swim trainer though. He stopped swimming but I think he forgot to stop chronically eating. He was probably above 150kg, so it could go either way.

Russisk propaganda på lemmy - eller det bare mig?

Reply in thread

Et godt råd fra min side er at bruge Local og Subscribed feeds og så bare ignorere All. Så får du kun indhold fra feddit.dk selv og hvad du specifikt har valgt til. Jeg er fx subscribed til et par communities på lemmy.ml og får kun indhold derfra, ikke resten af instansen. Når der så er et råddent æble på en af de communities hvor jeg ellers synes at indholdet er fint, så blokerer jeg bare dem, men at jeg holder mig til Local/Subscribed tager det værste.

Men ellers er jeg enig i din bekymring om instansen og deres ejere. Desværre er fediverset ikke super god til at sprede communities ud på mindre instanser så lemmy.world (som også har problematisk ejerskab, bare i en anden retning) og lemmy.ml har fået en del af de "default" communities som folk benytter sig af. Det er lidt en balancegang at fjerne dårligt indhold fra feeds og sørge for at folk kan tilgå det indhold de har brug for.

Reply in thread

Det er heller ikke sammenligneligt med lemmy.ml (eller det der er værre som allerede er blokeret på instans-niveau). "Magten" er meget centreret der og der er ikke mulighed for at afvige fra visse holdninger. Jeg kan for eksempel stærkt anbefale at undgå alle diskussioner der omhandler Israel og Gaza/Palæstina. Det har en af vores brugere på feddit.dk desværre kunne erfare.

Så kort og godt er det ikke ekstremistisk propaganda, men håndhævelsen der er virkelig kras.

If you speak another language besides ENG, are the subtitles terrible?

I hate Danish subtitles on English content. Not because they're inherently bad but because it is extremely distracting. English on English is fine but only if it is word for word what they say, otherwise I turn it off and just pay more attention.

Thing is, jokes cannot be translated easily, meanings change, and so on. That makes it so that the translated version isn't carrying the same punch as the original. And I simply don't have the mental capacity to read Danish and listen to English simultaneously (or ignore the subtitles).

And it's like that in reverse too. I've been showing some Danish movies to a foreigner, obviously she needed English subs, which proved to be hard to cancel out for me.

Is there a FileSystem framework without AI features?

Maybe you should heed your own advice. If you're an ameteur, dont argue with experts. The experts are only correcting you so they can help you. They need to understand what you want below the garbled mess of tech words, otherwise you'll just get random advice that won't work for you. You don't go to the mechanic either and say "I need an asphalt on my car." That is what you're saying right now because you spend 5 seconds somewhere seeing the word "asphalt" when reading the docs about a wheel, completely ignoring everything around that word that said "the wheel is the part of the car touching the asphalt"

If you want advice, don't sound like a self-righteous bastard when it is offered or people are trying to understand what you mean.

I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store?

Having healthy competition is a good thing and I've wished for a competitor to Steam for a long time until one day the monkey's paw curled and we got Epic Game Store. To sum it up:

  • Epic actively tries to introduce exclusivity deals to PC, something that goes very much against the nature of the platform. It is something we're supposed to be above on PC and let console players deal with. PC gamers simply don't want fragmentation in the market. We hate all the different shitty launchers publishers are making for the same reason too.
  • Epic has a very hostile attitude towards Linux. Their anti cheat for example by default detects the mere fact of using Linux as a hack. For a long time if their anti cheat was included it was an absolute no go on Linux. Their store also works like crap on Linux, if at all.
  • EGS lacks necessities for then to call themselves a good store like reviews, good support and refund policies, ease of mod support, wishlists, etc.
  • Their UI is just plain bad.

But the main point is the first one. If they bothered making a good store they wouldn't need to make most of PC gamers angry by introducing exclusivity deals, but they can't be bothered to do that, so they go for hostile competition instead at the detriment of the customers.

Something's rotten in Denmark

Even worse. 90 in old Danish is "halvfemsindstyve" but it is rarely used today. The "sinds" part is derived from "sinde" means multiplied with but it is not in use in Danish anymore. That leaves halvfems, meaning half to the five (which is not used alone anymore) and tyve meaning twenty (as it still does).

We are in current Danish shortening it to halvfems which actually just means "half to the five" in old Danish (2.5) to say 90. 92 is then "tooghalvfems" (two and half to the five, or 2+2.5). The "sindstyve" part (multiplied with 20) fell out of favour.

So we at least have some rules to the madness. Were just not following them at all anymore.
