I wonder if it’s reflecting the dogs playing poker image:

I did cherry pick this one tbh, but most of them have different types (and colours) of dogs.

AI gets the joke that was a bit obscure even by the 90s when I first read those books.

The more I look, the weirder it gets.

It’s a Lemmy feature that happens when you use the crosspost button.

It kinda looks like it’s been painted, which is a fun twist on pixel art.

I was surprised to see the artifacts when I looked at the full-sized image - even though I shouldn’t’ve been cos AI gonna AI.

It’s really cool that it understands that it should look blocky, but not that the blocks should be aligned on a grid. It’s accidentally been way more creative with the brief than if it’d emulated pixel art better.

A tiny fraction of their users paying upfront (remember opportunity cost of money) is hardly going to doom them to insolvency.

Look at this way - investors give money to a company now to receive money later. They risk capital now in exchange for future rewards. Lifetime subscribers pay a large fixed amount now to receive free service later. Same thing.

I do miss that really detailed block download page, but that’s only cos I’d watch it instead of doing something useful with my life.

Perhaps some Youtube’s done a video on it… I feel like I’ve seen a headline or link saying something like “Why Paul is underrated” recently.

I didn’t know there was an extended version, do the extra 6 minutes add anything? Maybe not

I’ll take “Artisan”!

This should be be a local link for most: !opencracks@lemmy.dbzer0.com

catch and release

Brilliant phrase! I’m an archiver myself partly because it takes me ages to watch things, and partly because some things get returned to again and again. I could definitely do with a cull, but it’s easier to commit to more storage.

It could be that it’s more normalised, or that post-Covid people don’t want to share public transport as much.

Whatever the reason, it’s good news as the more cyclists there are, the more that planners will have to take them into account - making it easier for more to become cyclists. Let’s just hope the momentum continues to fuel this virtuous cycle.

Good question. I assume it’s DHT delivering peers that aren’t in the tracker(s), or maybe a problem with the tracker(s).

The format’s “# connected (# total)” in every client I’ve seen.

I’m out of the loop here, what’s this about?

I have Bitwarden, RES and uBlock Origin, plus Enhancer for Youtube.

My fix was

1. disable “Block Ads” in Enhancer for Youtube
2. add this to uBlock under “My Filters”:

Yup and, as the article states, electric cars are even worse.

As a user, I don’t want to share my downloaded images if people can use that to datamine my Lemmy browsing, so I wouldn’t use it.

Yes, instances could do the bulk of the sharing, but then that’s just downloading and rehosting images with extra steps.

Something like Veilid would be more interesting.

Firefox + uBlock is my suggestion too, it makes mobile browsing bearable.

Thanks for asking this, one of the devs in the AMA was talking about Bittorrent for sharing the serving of instance-hosted files in a way that made me think “sounds like you want IPFS”. Now I’m not so sure.
