Cartoonishly evil colonizer strikes again

Did we ever get an official reason why ComicK 1.0 went down? This feels like a pirate-style publicity stunt lol

Radarr is for movies, Sonarr is for TV. You tell Sonarr which TV shows you want in your library, and then Sonarr automatically searches the torrent sites or usenet sites that you specified in your settings to find the episodes. There are a whole bunch of settings you can tweak to tell Sonarr what you consider to be a “good” file, so when Sonarr automatically searches, it finds the best version available for each episode. When it finds those good files, it automatically passes them to your torrent client (like qBittorrent) for download. When the files finish downloading, Sonarr automatically creates a copy of the file and renames the copy in a way that makes it super easy for Jellyfin to find the metadata. When it creates this copy, it uses a special kind of copying called “hardlinking” which makes it look like two copies, but only take up the space of one file. This has the advantage of having one folder for raw downloads and another for your actual media library, so you can easily keep seeding files while also having a version of the files you can rename for metadata purposes.

Even if you don’t use Radarr/Sonarr for downloading, they are still pretty useful for media management.

They also have completely ignored the facts of just about everything and inserted their own ideology or fantasy about what’s true and what’s not. What do you think “shouting from the rooftops” is going to accomplish here?

I think it’s more about knowing what to say when this topic inevitably comes up in interpersonal conversation. It’s not about convincing the conservatives, it’s about convincing the centrists on the sidelines saying nothing. I think they are particularly sensitive to the argument that this was a politically-motivated assassination, and so it’s important to remind those people that the right has blatantly lied about this. To remind them about the stats that you mentioned, that most of these shooters are conservative white males.

Seeing it elsewhere online, but let’s highlight it here. The Right has been trying to paint this shooting as a politically-motivated assassination caused by “transgender ideology” or whatever. Now that we have a clear and believable suspect, we know the truth: this was a young, white, cis male who was likely conservative, at least at some point in the recent past (there’s photos of him wearing a Donald Trump costume for a past Halloween). We should be shouting from the rooftops that the Right lied about this, because, more than anything else, we want to tamp down political violence. These specific lies being peddled by the Right are with the aim of escalating political violence.

Yeah that adds up. Everything is about naked, cynical capitalism now. I guess my millennial brain is stuck in the era where I thought the point of consumer electronics was to make cool devices that people wanted to buy.

why are techbros so obsessed with AI-wearables? first the Rabbit, then the Humane pin, now this? We already have phones that listen to us 24/7, why do they think anyone wants another thing to lug around?

If you have the opensubtitles plugin set up with an account, you should be able to manually run the “download subtitles” task in the scheduled tasks, and this will search for and auto-download subtitles for your entire library. That’s the best way I’ve found, can’t speak to editing subtitles that are downloaded. What kind of editing are you trying to do?

In a supermarket? It’s always been a good time to wear a mask.

Updated 2nd Gen Radeon™ RX 7700S graphics also available

They’ve been offering good AMD options, and they’re even adding in an upgraded option.

What is more privacy friendly than ddg?

Ironic that the devs of these patches seem to have more airtight security on their discord servers than major car manufacturers have on their $20k+ products.

that’s cool of you to give it even that brief review! At the end of the day, we 100% agree - Wikipedia is best for surface-level research. But that is what I love it for! Because of Wikipedia, we can all be surface-level experts on almost any topic in minutes. One of the few treasures of living in the 21st century.

Can you give an example of an article with an error that you tried to correct? Not trying to cast doubt on your statements, genuinely just curious what kind of roadblocks you hit. I’m no Wikipedia expert, but I have started to dip my toe into editing in recent months.

I do appreciate the direct link to exactly what Wales said, and the full conversation with his replies and such. It’s definitely a bit heady - Wales points out that editors are overstretched and he gives an example where he used ChatGPT to give helpful feedback to a new contributor. Then, a bunch of editors file in and point out parts of the GPT response that are inaccurate and go against Wikipedia policy. They also point out how LLMs themselves are already making life hell for editors.

If the site is being flooded by LLM submissions, and then Wikipedia starts using LLMs to provide feedback on rejected articles, when does a human step in to clear out the hallucinations? If I was submitting an article, and then I got bot feedback and edited my article with that feedback, and then a human looked at it and told me half the stuff the bot told me was wrong, I would be rightly pissed. If I was a new contributor dipping my toe into the scene for fun, that might just turn me off from Wiki editing forever.

And all of this is without considering the environmental impact of adding yet another major website to the data center load of existing LLMs. But it is clear that there are problems with this idea, even if the environmental costs are a nonfactor.

How many of y’all actually use Usenet? I was on the brink before getting into a few PTs.

Eloquently put 👌

The German high court now suggests that if ad blockers manipulate a site’s structure in ways that violate copyright integrity, they could be deemed illegal.

Now, I’m no legal expert, particularly not in the workings of German copyright law. But an ad blocker does not “manipulate a site’s structure”, so copyright seems like very shakey grounds for a legal argument. All adblockers do is block connections to specific domains, and then what you see is what the website’s server spits out without downloading info from those outside domains. AFAIK there is no adblocker that is editing a website’s actual code, but maybe some of the advanced YT adblockers are doing that, idk.

AI is piracy by corporations, kind of makes sense that this community doesn’t care so much.
