Lead is actually a slight concern with new nozzles or abrasive filaments especially, as there’s usually a bit of lead in brass

Idk, on lemmy back-and-forth conversations are usually just a few replies at most, not particularly long format, unless you count length by all of the separate comments/branches

Unlike discord for example

Sharkey is a misskey fork

you can download the arch wiki on kiwix (for android), it’s like 30 megabytes

No, I don’t think so. There is cleanup required on the rails of course, but it’s used fairly regularly in some places I think when the tracks are wet

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandbox_(locomotive)

A lot of trams carry sand that they can put on the rails to get more grip when they need to break really fast. That might be what happened there

You know, the new word is ‘affordability.’ Another word is just ‘groceries.’ It’s sort of an old-fashioned word but it’s very accurate. And they’re coming down

such an eloquent speaker

people are saying that the witcher 3 works really well with the winulator app (uses wine and box86, which i’ve heard usually performs a tiny bit better than FEX, what valve is using, at the cost of occasional innacuracies)

not disagreeing, but if you just want to run the witcher 3 on your phone you can do it right now

get rid of the vr stuff and add a normal touchscreen instead, make the UI a bit more phone-like, add a cellular connection, get rid of monochrome and add color cameras, make it a little thinner, integrate the battery, add a bunch of phone apps (calculator, texts, calls, browser, notes, email, camera, etc)

computing-wise, it is very similar tho, it has the exact same processor that’s in my phone, just a bit more ram, can be configured to have the same amount of storage

I think linux is the point. Because Valve has put SteamOS on their VR headset (which uses the same processor I have in my phone) it would be expected for them to do the same to a phone. Having a phone with an optimized emulator, a normal linux for arm desktop mode, and Steam built in would be very nice IMO, there are a lot of PC games that play fairly well with on-screen controls or even one of those controller phone cases that you can buy, and it’s very hard to find good mobile games in comparison. I have the app Winulator on my phone, which sort of does that same thing, except not insanely reliably, and with meh UX, and it can’t really run Steam (last I checked, I couldn’t get it to work, it might be easier now idk), and you can’t run linux x86 or ARM apps or windows ARM apps through it like I think people will be able to on the Steam frame.

As a native English speaker I certainly won’t process the words of a lot of songs without a conscious effort

Lyrics are so often indecipherable as well. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jGLYJQJh9c8

One that I remember is that I had heard the song “believer” a number of times before learning its name, I always thought they were saying “pick me up and pick me up and leave me, and leave me”. I don’t think I even tried to decypher the rest lol

I think the “proper” way to simplify it is would’ve, which is pronounced the same as ‘would of’

A lot of mistakes have just become incorporated into the language in the past. Maybe ‘would of’ is just too blatantly wrong for that to ever happen though

Maybe not really a ‘mistake’, more of a normal shortening but my personal favorite english-ism is “bye” being descended directly from “god be with you”. People just kept collapsing it more and more over time.

Edit: also “a pease” -> “peas” -> “a pea”

I do feel like unseriousness/unsophisticatedness is generally frowned upon here. Usually things are more debate than conversation

Idk, people just seem a lot more relaxed on like nerdy public discords for example

the main joke of the post is that the average screenwriter doesn’t realize the standard audience will fall for the coolness factor over morals. It’s also making fun of the formula being overused with these specific archetypes, the lack of morally complex heroes, etc.

Although what another commenter said stood out to me more, the fact that a lot of lower quality media will make a character with obviously good aims who also does random evil stuff for no reason just so we still know he’s supposed to be the bad guy. It’s like they’re trying to make a morally complex villain, but put in none of the effort and just create a nonsensical villain instead.

So combining those ideas, I think the situation is that writers try to create a charismatic villain to fit with the norm and maybe add complexity to the experience. Except they don’t give the villain an adequate reason to do evil things - They just come up with 1 common sense point for the villain to make and say “oh he took it too far and somehow murdering orphans is the natural result of that, don’t question it”. So in the end the audience sees a charismatic villain with a decent point who’s only flaw is the random evil stuff they do for no reason. And it comes across as a lazy bad decision because that’s what it is. People just aren’t given a reason to dislike the villain when the evil stuff seems more like something the writer made them do than something that would actually occur.

A higher effort example that doesn’t mess this up is the new superman movie as another commenter said, the villain is also charismatic and also does comically evil things but the audience is actually given an understanding of him and how he thinks, which is convincing enough for people to accept that the villain really just is that evil.

the pain of the Farseeir trilogy, or the pain of the stuff with Bee? idk what u mean

i just read the first trilogy a month or so ago tho and it’s peak, it’s incredible how much she gets you to care about the characters

this is kinda the vibe I got from the Star Wars prequels. like how tf does Anakin go to “well the sith could stop people from dying, and the jedis are kinda corrupt” to “let’s kill random children!” in literally one scene with almost no convincing?? It seems like they think because he appreciates the sith’s stated goal he’ll do something obviously evil for them because “thinking that the people we want to be evil aren’t evil == evil”. The only way I can explain that bit away is if the sith guy did some sort of evil mind control thing in his moment of shock after accidentally hurting that jedi. IDK i know there are much more direct examples of what you’re saying (like what hbomberguy was talking about in that rwby video) and this connection is kinda loose I just want to rant about that scene because I feel like I don’t often hear people specifically talking about how little sense that bit makes…

Speaking of interesting sensing capabilities there’s also the sea turtles that can detect magnetic fields, although I don’t think people understand the actual mechanical parts yet

ollama is the usual one, they have install instructions on their GitHub i think, and a model repository, etc

You can run something on your cpu if you don’t care about speed, or on your gpu although you can’t run any more intelligent model without a decent amount of vram

For models to use, I recommend checking out the qwen distilled versions of deepseek r1

I made a little desktop app in Godot once for sorting through D&D monsters, can’t really release it tho because it requires you to have the whole official monster manual saved as jpegs for it to work

I was able to get the layout pretty nice, but it still kinda breaks with some resolutions because I didn’t write any custom layout code
