Sure is neat how America makes you choose your health coverage three months before you know if your medicine is covered by that plan or not, real good system (for cherrying the masses in their asses)

Imagine file type names always have the name of the main implementer's family name. Instead of GIF it'd be Wilhite. People sending Whilite's to each other for entertainment.

In an alternative universe file extensions aren't at the end but at the beginning, like instead of "picture.jpg" it's "jpg.picture".

At my work they want to push Copilot and ChatGPT on us. All people who are participating need to fill out a questionnaire and answer what's been done with AI and if it were effective or not. I'm hesitant to participate and rate negatively everything.

@scribus I have seen articles about that today. I spoke today with a colleague (is a graphic (3D) designer and UX designer) who vibe-codes prototypes. During our talk he showed what he made and was altering things during our call. It was wild how Cursor messes things up and needs constant supervision. I mean it's impressive that someone with no coding experience achieved that but crutches can only go so far until they create other pain points.

@adiwan I literally today sat down at my work computer to find an article from corporate about using generative AI to increase productivity. I work in a grocery store, man.

Animation was good, the visuals not my cup of tea. It wasn't thaaat bad technically but it has a lot of what I don't gel with. I get adventure films and mystery but in Flow it is getting me on my nerves as nothing appears to be explained or wanted to be explained and all the characters' motivations and inner thoughts can only be guessed by the actions, because they are animals but with some human-like cognitive abilities. It's frustrating me on a deeper level in regards of story telling.

@adiwan I can see where that "immersion" thing might be going too far, if you're immersed in something you don't get then you're just kind of immersed in confusion

Unpopular opinion: Flow, the animated film sucks. If you're a vibes or animal person, it might be something. It's just some animals roaming the land and escaping rising waters.

Another batch of dried apple slices finished. I made them thin and dried them crispy for 10 hours at 70°C. It's funny to see how much they shrink during the process. From barely fitting on the drying racks to occupying half the area.

@scribus I just did another batch and weighted it before and after. A full batch of 540g (peeled and cores removed) resulted in 72g of dehydrated and crispy apple slices.

I bought a year ago a fruit dryer to make, for example, dried apple slices. I intended to use it as a filament dryer but didn't go so far to modify it, even if it is simple. However today I used it for its intended use and sliced a hand full of apples to dry them. My thought was to use it at least once the "right" way until I modify it irreversibly. Now my home smells like of warm apples.
about 8 months ago from web-
@scribus In my limited time I learned that it depends on many factors how well the dried apple slices will be. I have some that are crispy as a potato chip and some are more gummy while some are lost a lot of flavor. From the time and temperature to the thickness and position in the food dehydrator and the kind of apple. In general most of the apple pieces that I tasted were good, saying as someone who is not really liking dried fruits, but the mixed results partially enforce my stand towards dried fruits. The taste of fresh apple still beats all of that 100 times. The effort and time and energy in my opinion is a little too much for the results I got.

@scribus Scented candles are the worst. Whenever I happen to be in a home decoration store and walk by the candle aisle I have to gag. The natural odor of food is way more pleasant (not including cinnamon, cherries, and strawberries).

@zeldatra Yeah. That was a surprise as it's not a character I expected to see having their own side game. At this point I expect a full side game for the Pocket Circuit Fighter and managing events and doing pocket circuit races.

New WFH job has me using Teams for the first time ever and it made me reflect back on my long feud with Microsoft. I thought it was hyperbole when I told the class it's been 30 years. I realized, that would make me 12. Did I really give a batcave about operating systems when I was 12?! But then I remembered that would have been 1995, when Windows 95 was the first time I was encountering being in a situation where I have more impressive CPU and RAM specs but can't run the damn software because we're still on 3.11.
about 9 months ago from web-
@scribus MS Teams is in the weird space of being good enough and suck. I'm using it for years and the most annoying it can get is when you have to use it across organizations. There is no unified view and you have to switch accounts any time to view a notification. The era of Win 3.11 and 95 was really weird. I had DOS, 3.11, and 95 software at the same time and had to have a parallel installation of 95 and 3.11. Scanner software in 3.11, photo editing in 95, games in DOS.

Job had it gorram easy
about 9 months ago from web-
@adiwan Well, yes; and - I briefly thought I'd lost it before even starting, too! We have termites at the house. The job is work-from-home. I cannot leave for a fumigation in my first month! But there's an alternative treatment that can hold them off until work will allow me three days away. And then, that post, I had meant "Job" like the proper-noun Bible Guy because HAHA here I am thinking I got pre-cherryed for no reason other than God likes torturing his Sims. But I guess it's OK. But I also feel like crap because I panicked and got shouty and hit the walls and scared the cat and dog.
-
@scribus Congrats and BIG OOF. I know exactly what you're getting through. One good thing happens and 10 bad follow on its heels. Termites on the other hand seem to be like a biblical plague in comparison.

Official RGG Summit prediction: they’re skipping Yakuza Kiwami 3, going straight to Dead Souls
about 9 months ago from web-
@zeldatra At this point they are rather remaking 1 and 2 again but with the RPG mechanics from 7 and 8 than overhauling 3. Realistically I see them showing some new footage from Stranger Than Heaven. Maybe they'll announce a new Gaiden game. A Gaiden game with Saejima as protagonist would be the most probable one if any. Personally I would like one with Akiyama and Hana-Chan.

@scribus Now I'm jinxed and will let it fall down and dent it next time I take it into my hands. That's what happened with my Blackberry KeyOne on day 2 of ownership. It has a small dent at the top edge and its black anodized coating got off at the spot of impact.

-
@ceruleanspark Ah... Makes sense. At a project I was working on they had similar issues. They logged EVERYTHING and had space issues in production. So much so that they had to make rotating logs but soon after so much was logged that the rotating logs would only save about 2-3 hours and yet more and more logging was added. My code had also very verbose logging that could be disabled but the client wanted even that output all the time. Coincidentally their DB views got so big that certain joints in some applications suddenly stopped working because it had too many columns. It was quite the ordeal to debug that.

On the other hand Tigerella (red tomatoes with yellow-ish stripes) are not that bad and they pump out a lot but they are not my preferred taste with their very juicy and sour notes. If I prepared salads they would have been ideal for that. A Polish sort called Malina on the other hand was described as very sweet and juicy but in my garden they turned out to be dull in taste. The same with a sort called Japanese Crab (it's from Russia) that is not much of a shower in the flavor department. Marmande (from France) is still a very solid all-rounder that I don't mind for being mid in everything. Harzfeuer (German) is also mid but the fruits are a little bit too small for me. Roma tomatoes (Italy) are quite hard, almost like a soft bell pepper and have little juice which makes them eating on bread less desirable. Adora tomatoes that I tasted were also not bad but lacked the qualities it is advertised as with its smoky taste. For me it's a watered-down Black Krim atm.
about 9 months ago from web-
@adiwan Roma tomatoes seem to get used a lot in salad out here, I like them for burgers or sandwiches because they're usually firmer and less juicy, easier to cut and they don't soggy things up. Those tiger ones sound interesting.
-
@scribus Ah. That's a very good point. This is a good use-case for all the Roma fruits to be used up. Gonna buy beef patties and some buns tomorrow. As for Tigerella I have the UK sort that has small, cherry-sized, fruits https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigerella (about 2 - 2.5 fingers wide).
