ooo, that does sound handy!

Looks like OBS is the goto. Thanks.

Which app do you use for screen recording? That’s the only thing keeping me on X11.

I apologise for my dismissive tone earlier. Thanks for putting your idea out there 🙂

…aaand this is why chatgpt is no substitute for expertise.

It’s “generative” AI, in that it generates lists of words that fit together. But it has no actual understanding of anything so the stuff it generates is totally surface, middle-of-the-road whatever-you-want-to-hear.

With some ways of looking at things, the world as a whole is getting better, rather than worse.

I’m pretty sure long covid and climate chaos will put a stop to that soon enough but we’ll see. For now, some stuff is getting worse and some stuff is getting better.

I got it to 47 KB after resizing it to 850px by 239px, heh

I’m a web developer.

Lemmy does not use the entire screen width. The way it has been embedded in the page means that image takes up only 850 pixels of horizontal space so it could be 5x smaller and no one would be able to see the difference.

Lemmy really should be automatically resizing the images (on the server) when they are uploaded, not every single time the community is viewed (in the browser).

Have you checked your C:\windows\temp folder lately?

Mostly to avoid conspiracies. The intended users are people who want to protect vulnerable family members.

Another purpose is to demonstrate that the big social networks could get rid of disinformation if they wanted to - “look what 1 person can achieve, in their spare time”, kinda thing.

The only time I use ddg is to find conspiracy sites to add to the blocklist I maintain. All the trash rises to the top in that search engine. It’s rubbish.

You know how if your email app stops working you can just install another one and still communicate with anyone else with an email address? The fediverse is like that except it’s not email it’s twitter and reddit and YouTube all rolled into one. So if twitter was part of the fediverse when Musk bought it and destroyed it you could move to another server with a better moderation policy and pick up where you left off.

I can confirm that the 1984 Threads movie is pretty traumatizing. Not in a horror movie kind of way, in a “this is realistically what would happen in and after a nuclear war, which is the end of everything in the worst way you can imagine” kinda way.

It’s on youtube.

A convicted rapist (also charged with 91 other felonies) running for president, with as much chance as winning as the other guy.

Yes

Whenever another fixture of the 20th century leaves us, I spend a few minutes watching their clips, listening to their songs, reading their writing, or whatever they did. Gonna do that now.

RIP

I will very soon. For now, I’m collecting email addresses - https://rimu.geek.nz/piefed-comms/?p=subscribe

And that’s just in Spain. Plenty of other Catholic countries out there, probably with similar incidence… Anyone wanna do a back of the envelope extrapolation? #lazyweb

“What if this… is as good as it gets?”

That wouldn’t be cool. At all.

I’d prefer to go in the other direction (i.e. away from permissive) and add a ‘no fascists or tankies or genocide’ clause to AGPL, actually. ChatGPT assures me that would be bad and possibly illegal (?!) tho, so I might just end up putting stuff in the code of conduct which achieves the same ends.

My first instinct is to go for AGPL but the whole licensing debate isn’t something I’ve ever really engaged with so I’m not really making an informed decision about that.

What’s the advantages of a more permissive license?
