it cost $20 to join?! I’m out
Yep, I can’t spend the money now, which is probably true for a lot of people, and I’m definitely gonna forget this is a thing by the time it’s free or I have the money, which is probably true for a lot of people.
$30!? I looked into one and it’s fucking $300. Man, fuck America.
Nah, we got a literary dystopia, just not one where everything is destroyed like your examples. We got the gilded cyberpunk future where everyone is tracked, privacy is dead and the lower class is held down by force. The biggest difference we have these days is that we went more heavy on AI than robotics, and the skies are a bit clearer.
The book appears to have two spines…
Eh, not always. For months after I started using Bazzite, Dolphin’s Windows EXE thumbnailer didn’t work. Should it have worked? Yeah. Why didn’t it? Who fucking knows. Did it get fixed? Yes. How did it get fixed? New Plasma version I guess.
Books aren’t games, either, but you brought them up. Why are different forms of media valid when they support your argument but not when they don’t?
To be fair, I didn’t notice it and start digging looking up information about it until I was working on a mod for Half-Life (usually my profile pic, but I think I don’t have it here), and needed to be able to create an extremely specific alpha channel for the phong mask.
Iirc, I experimented with the color profile settings and got no difference. I will say that I can’t seem to reproduce what I was saying about the banding now. For a short while after 3’s release, I was getting major banding in the alpha channel, but now I’m not.
Someone posted it to their bug tracker forever ago, with images, but they changed the name to some random unrelated feature request and now I can’t find it. Did find this Bluesky post about it, though:

Seen it happen both ways.
You ain’t even getting it doing that. There’s been a bug since 2.10 with transparency. Export anything and you get a crushed alpha channel. Import it into anything else and the alpha looks crazy high contrast. Import it into GIMP again and the contrast is normal, but the channel is still crushed, so it’s banded as fuck.
They say it’s intended behavior, which would make sense if GIMP was a dedicated image corruptor.
Ah, yes. Insanity.
immutable distros have a learning curve
Fr, I’ve been on Bazzite for months, and I learned last month that /usr/local isn’t protected, which is now how I’ve installed mergerFS
Okay, so, in case the headline is confusing anyone else, it’s literal. Like, you know how there are those cringe-ass Alexa ads that are about how it does AI language processing and assistant shit? Yeah, ChatGPT can’t I guess.
OP is on Mastodon. I checked the post there, and there’s absolutely nothing to imply it should be NSFW. Maybe some kind of disconnect between the software?
Correction, the oldest supported Pixels that will likely lose support soon are pretty cheap. Everything else was still around $400 when I checked last month.
In addition to the advanced flow we’re building free, limited distribution accounts for students and hobbyists. This allows you to share apps with a small group (up to 20 devices) without needing to provide a government-issued ID or pay a registration fee.
Fuck you sideways, Google.
They missed the part where Apple Computers abused the legal system and the good nature of the Beatles to steal their trademark and enter into the music industry illegally.
Ya know… the fact that I actually went from Windows to Mint to Fedora raises some concern.
For anyone curious, I looked into the DDOSing, and what was done is a simple string of JavaScript was added to archive[.]today that made a background request to the blog with a randomly generated search parameter. Every time someone looked at an archive, they unknowingly sent a request to the blog under attack.
Yep, it’s kind of a racket. The license popup is there to let people know that, hey, technically you have to buy this… but they don’t care if Joe Blow buys it, it’s free for you, you single-serve mother fucker. A company, though? A company has to buy a copy for every user, and that adds up.
