CLI installation guide is perfect, thank you.

Thanks, I plan on doing this when my phone dies. Just some questions:

A computer with a Chromium-based browser (e.g., Google Chrome, Brave, Microsoft Edge, Vivaldi?). Unfortunately, I must recommend Windows 10/11 here, because then you don’t have to mess around with any drivers; it’s the simplest option.

This is the first I’ve read this, how much of a pain is it to use Linux instead? I don’t have any Windows computers.

First of all, we need to make sure that our phone’s software is updated to the latest available version. For this purpose, we go to Settings -> System -> System update. If necessary, we update

How is this possible if the previous step skipped SIM and Wifi setup? I assume, if there’s updates, to setup Wifi then proceed?

securing the phone with a fingerprint; I personally am an advocate of this solution…

Recommend not doing this for users in the USA, as police can compel you to unlock biometric locks. Yes, it’s fucked up, that’s what happens when octogenarian fascists run all three branches of your government.

Yeah, I fantasize about moving “sideways” often. Wherever I am, I wonder what that location is like in the untouched East/West + 1. Then I remember I have some medical metal in my body. It’s not critical, but it would be a little worrisome to jump back and see it sitting on the ground.

As someone who occasionally peers into the Bigfoot fandom, trans-dimensional, alien Bigfoot is a thing. As in, the reason we haven’t found him yet is because he can disappear into portals. Sort of like “The Long Earth” but instead of Terry Pratchett it’s poorly written youtube scripts with AI thumbnails.

Investment money has basically dried up. Even indies need that, unless you mean the “one person in their garage working off Patreon” type of studio. For awhile Chinese companies were holding down the fort and trying to expand in North America, but they’ve largely withdrawn that strategy and focused on domestic production. That’s why so many indie studios working on their first game shut down in the last two years.

For this to reverse itself interest rates will need to come down, but for that to happen without catastrophic inflation we would need several years of un-fucked monetary policy. So basically it’s fucked for a long time and possibly will never exist again in the way it did. This is on top of all the other issues the vfx/game industries have with crunch, chaotic management, etc.

New Year’s Resolution: I’m going to “reform” my body by going from obese to morbidly obese.

Can osmium-tool do what you want?

For example if I go here and export an osm file as pittsburg.osm: https://www.openstreetmap.org/export#map=18%2F40.440748%2F-79.999822

Then I run osmium tags-filter pittsburg.osm n/amenity=library -o out.osm

I get an out.osm with a bunch of libraries in it:

I’m not sure I buy the McDonald’s worker story, the whole narrative of the arrest seems really bizarre. (Not that I eat their shit food, one way or another.)

The dialog pushing AI media seems to start from this assumption that I consume media just to have colors and words and sounds enter my face holes. In fact, I consume art and media because I like hearing, seeing, and reading about how other humans experience the same world I do. It’s a form of communication. I like the product but also the process of people trying to capture the bonkers, ineffable experience we all seem to be sharing in ways I would never think of, but can instantly verify.

What’s funny is, due to the nature of media, it’s kind of impossible to not communicate something, even if the artwork itself is empty. When I see AI media I see the communication of a mind that doesn’t know or give a shit about any of this. So in their attempt make filler they are in fact making art about how inarticulate they are. It’s unintentional, corporate dadaism.

Yeah, I’m old enough to remember this song and dance with Java. Also this isn’t like deciding all your javascript should be coffescript. Rust has some pretty big differences. It would be hilarious if the AI just threw a huge unsafe around giant blocks of code.

They are, if you scroll to the bottom of the github repo that OP posted there are some examples of what works and doesn’t work to break it.

Watermark data like this is stored in the least significant bits of the pixels themselves, or in the case of OPs example, they do a frequency decomposition on the image then store the watermark data in the coefficients. Basically you have to trash the pixel data at least a little bit to defeat it. So cropping or flipping the image won’t do it, but resizing or rotating with some kind of filtering will.

I have no idea how the machine-learning technique listed there is working, and their documentation link is broken :(

I’ve tried, it sucks. Each broker has their own process, often several steps, and often a step is broken (like server errors, can’t get past a captcha, “try again later”, etc). You end up not just having to do the process, but also follow up with many of the ones that are ambiguous or returned server errors or whatnot. I did the top 8 or so brokers and then stopped.

Ah you’re right, I misread it. I thought he was leaving messages. Not leaving messages is unreasonable.

The man in OP said he leaves and message and calls again to be sure. That’s reasonable. The 16/7 thing you added so you could be more angry about it.

Edit: I misread this and thought he was leaving messages. Not leaving messages is unreasonable.

Yep, the schedule is always a perpetual crisis. Justifies crunch, adding tech debt, shooting down dev wishlist items, cutting content, all sorts of things.

The last game I worked on got panned pretty hard, and amongst the hundreds of complaints I didn’t see one that hadn’t been raised internally months or years before release. Some of them I personally had shelved P4 change lists that were 6 months old. But hey, no time for that, we gotta get this E3 trailer out! Oh now that’s done? Well changelist is old now, can’t risk submitting that we got a presentation for the brass soon!

Anyway I think I’m retired, or something.

Yeah, it’s old fashioned, I think, but still in the domain of expected practice. Job hunting, selling something, expecting a visitor, etc are all reasons to actively expect a phone call during reasonable hours.
