Gotcha. I would suggest spending more time crafting your message if it’s as important to you as it seems. Half assed execution gets half assed engagement. Like first write your copy in a word doc and don’t use your first draft. The image manipulation in gimp is actually not bad at all. When I say ‘format’ I mean the like weird ordered list with letter headings giving vaguely relevant protestor advice. Like, I get what you’re trying to say but the errors and lack of an impactful structure to your words make the whole think seem kind of naive and not altogether useful to actual protest goers.

Eg: the authorities don’t ’get You’re furious’. They see and recognize it as aggression and that’s it. There is no understanding, no empathy, no reason. There is only the boot they intend to put on your neck.

I did however forget where I was on lemmy so don’t really worry about it as 1(10-1)6 is not really the place for complex sociopolitical discussions on the escalation to violence in peaceful protests by authoritarian state actors so fuckin blast that gimp practice all over the place young blood.

Person forgets stupid people have been around making content a lot longer than AI.

Tbh probably unlikely in this case.

Support the message but what in pluperfect fuck is this format?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Oh I thought you were young enough not to have been alive when they were still prevalent. Which is honestly not a really high bar anymore.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Man I’m tired.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Oh you sweet summer child.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you for an actually constructive response. You’ve honestly brought me around a bit with this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I get that and agree, this is just a crappy and kinda dumb stick to be wasting the energy on because it makes the side opposing the injustice look like petulant children instead of enabling effective action.

It’s the first one, I’m terrible at effectively communicating nuanced points.

And I mean yall could interrogate the statement instead of reaching a conclusion and then responding but I get it.

But also, fuck that. Do more work as the reader.

Also, piss off with your infantilizing ‘hissy fit’ bullshit.

Why does everyone insist on adding the ‘so just bend over and take’ part whenever someone points out another source of wrongdoing? Like what do yall always take it to mean that the speaker is implying a whataboutism argument? And not maybe as ‘oh shit this has been going on longer than just this maybe we should learn about that too and we might figure out why it hasn’t been stopped yet.’

Please tell me if I'm the asshole here. But holy crap. I know mod's get a bad ~~wrap~~ rap but wow do the mods seem WAY more petty and petulant here.

It’s a means of answering the question: ‘Does this add or subtract from the discussion?’

 

It is the back end head for an HTPC that moslty just shows task manager and my plex dashboard just to show something. recently my partner showed me window-swap dot com and i have been putting that on instead. but with the monitor in portrait mode it doesnt look all that great with the video taking up the middle 1/3 of the screen with big bars on top and bottom. Not caring too much about video quality i wanted to see if there was a way to zoom the image so it would take up the full screen height and then pan back and forth slowly like the old and terrible pan & scan format. realizing i could do this manually with the built in Magnifier feature. I whipped out autohotkey and your gpt flavor of choice and threw this together. zoomed into 300% and moved the picture to a good spot and started the script. not the most intuitive thing but I'm still very in experienced and ti's been a minute since i was able to actually make a thing even remotely close to complete if not the most intuitive thing. AHK at link, would love feedback.

I'm pretty sure i stole this joke, but it was definitely only about O'Brien. I'm here to expand that notion with my evidence of "The Visitor".

 

Hey All,

So here’s the deal, I have an old HP laptop I am in the process of ~~resetting and setting up~~ wiping and setting up as my ~8yo nephew’s first computer. He played his first PC game sitting on my lap and I am determined to fuel his budding interest in computers as much as possible. He has an iPad from his parents and has been attending a ‘code ninjas’ camp for kids his age and has been loving it. So for Christmas this year I asked his parents and they’re comfortable with him having his own, supervised, system.

I was planning to start with just a blank slate on the machine with a parent account and then a child account for him. Obviously the parental controls will be in place with his parents getting a crash course in anything they don’t already know how to use(they’re tech literate so I’m not worried about that). But they’re not CS people and I’m only barely self taught over the years.

I have this vision of giving him a sandbox with enough toys and tools (as much FOSS as possible) that he can safely play around and build/make things on his own. So here’s where my question for y’all comes in, what are your recommendations for a budding computer scientist/programmer’s first Windows machine? And just to head it off at the pass, no, we can’t go the Linux route yet. I don’t have the experience/expertise to support a system like that remotely and his parents have even less. I’m also wondering if there are any tutorials or resources I could load onto the machine that he can /watch learn from without an internet connection?

And lastly I’m wondering if anyone has any advice for encouraging him to push the boundaries of the parental controls and locks on the system. Obviously not in a way that undermines his parents authority. But I want to encourage that sense of almost devious exploration that encourages even just users to truly analyze and understand the limitations and cracks in systems they’re dropped into. To give a probably horribly outdated example from my past: figuring out how to bypass the proxy service the school network used to access browser game websites.
