That's refreshing to see in a world of ever increasing enshittification. Wish more companies move in this direction.

Let's also get rid of golf courses in arid deserts in the midst of droughts

Switch to Firefox

I don't want big name celebrities doing voice over for animated movies. Give me actual VAs

Visit some of the National Parks, aka America's best idea.

Some amazing ones (they're all amazing, tbh) in no particular order:

• Yosemite
• Arches / Canyonlands (close to each other)
• Yellowstone
• Grand Tetons
• Glacier
• Denali
• Olympic

Cool project. The closing slide was pretty funny

If you are working at an AI company, here's how you can sabotage Anubis development as easily and quickly as possible. So first is quit your job, second is work for Square Enix, and third is make absolute banger stuff for Final Fantasy XIV. That’s how you can sabotage this the best.

I feel this. Getting tired of living through historical events.

I'm glad you guys took a measured approach. This right here is the difference between a corporation and Lemmy. I can't imagine a for-profit reversing its decision in the interest of the community unless it affected their bottom line or stock price. Hats off to the admin team for working through all these complex issues.

Coffee perhaps. I think previous generations were more apt to just get a tub of Folgers or Maxwell House and not care too much about what they were drinking. Then third wave coffee shops started emphasizing quality, process, and flavor nuances. These days, you can find specialty coffee in most areas or get high-quality beans delivered and brew it yourself.

In addition to self-hosting, I'll throw out a few other alternatives:

Free:

• hoopla or OverDrive/Libby via local library membership
• LibroVox public domain books read by users

Paid:

• For a user experience closer to Audible, I went with libro.fm. You can pick a local, independent bookstore that gets a portion of the sales. Their catalog is pretty extensive as well, have been able to find most books I'm interested in. Books are DRM-free and you can pause your membership.
• Downpour - DRM-free as well

DRM-free is important IMO because otherwise you're at the mercy of the platform and if the company ever changes its Terms of Use or wipes your account, you lose your purchases. Amazon have remotely deleted books from users' libraries in the past or replaced them with modified copies (e.g. Roald Dahl books). Kindle announced last month they won't let you download your eBooks via USB so it's possible Audible could see changes for the worse in the future as well.

I'd wager a sizeable number of half-ton pickup trucks are used solely as people movers, i.e. the bed and towing capabilities aren't utilized. In many countries, trade workers more than manage with light vehicles, like kei trucks in Japan, so I think they'd work for the average weekend warrior too.

Porkbun is pretty solid

Recently moved over to porkbun after dealing with a couple billing issues with namecheap and not getting the best customer service. Been pretty happy so far.

Good on them, hope more cases follow this precedent. We all inhabit the same planet and should have a vested interest in keeping it liveable.

Youth plaintiffs did not ask for any damages beyond their attorneys' fees and costs, which were awarded by the court. To young people suing, winning is seemingly just about pushing the state to embrace climate science and mitigate known harms moving forward.

Mad respect. People over profits.

I can dig it. For me it's similar to seeing physical products described as "handcrafted" to denote quality versus something mass produced. A lot of indie devs pour enormous amounts of time and energy into animation, scripts, music, etc. that a derivative gen AI would just spit out in seconds.

Some interesting bits from the article:

Anon is credited as the first author in the paper

Computers are able to calculate superpermutations for n = 4 and n = 5 but not for anything beyond that.

Since the series in question has 14 episodes, it would take 93,884,313,611 episodes to see all possible combinations. Or roughly 4 million years of non-stop viewing.

Apple Intelligence too. Thankfully you can still disable it

Brakes just slow you down anyway...

That's great, let's hope they invest in the infrastructure needed to make it convenient.

Bass said the city will utilize 3,000 buses loaned to it from around the country to ease traffic congestion. The U.S. government last month pledged $900 million to help improve the city's rail and bus systems in anticipation of the Games.
