32:9 monitor resolution stretched when trying to set 16:9
  • I dont have a chance to check specifics but if theres no way to do it using the gui you can try the xrandr command. it has lots of options for screen positioning and the like.

    Japan determines copyright doesn't apply to LLM/ML training data
  • creativity isnt about looking at a million existing art pieces and continuing the pattern. sure, humans can do something similar to that that, but thats all that AI can do. AI can immitate a human artist but it cannot have real creativity because it lacks memories, experiences, views, perspectives, that a human would use when creating something new. I'm not just saying this because I want it to be true, i'm saying it because it is true. Awe at the exploding capabilities of AI may be clouding your judgement.

  • Dont fool yourself with this logic. i thought this too until I realized that humans all have a unique perspective, and an entire life of experiences to draw from. Humans dont just look through tens of thousands of images, internalize them, and spit out something similar to them like AI does. it is just not comparable the way it might seem at first glance.

  • allow me to introduce you to the pragmatic and idologically consistent viewpoint, that human creativity is unique and not comparable to ai creativity. Humans draw from experiences and memories, and have a unique perspective that is introduced to their art, while ai just churns through thousands of images and tries to replicate them. Dont assume that just because the results are impressive, that ai creativity is analogous to human creativity.

    TIL that operating system Linux is an example of anarcho-communism
  • its sad that you're so closed-minded and brainwashed to think "communism bad" that you wouldnt even consider the possibility of this being true

    What is your least favourite acronym?
  • im not saying theres no difference between pronouncing each lettwer and pronouncing the whole thing like a word, just that both are generally considered acronymns so the correction was unnecessary.

    I'm nothing without my hyperfixation...
  • thats good for you. do you have to force yourself to do those things or do they still interest you, just not as much as before? For me it feels like once the hyperfixation fades you couldnt pay me a million bucks to touch that hobby again in any capacity until the special interest comes back.

    Reasons to consider NOT switching to Linux
  • if you'd read it you'd see the author has no problem with people who choose ideology over functionality, only people that try to force others to.

    Who did this????
  • to me its a clear improvement. it's a small change but it reduces the previosuly overwhelming modifier panel to something easily digestible, and the search featuee actually makes it faster to use. I cant understand why you would be upset about something so minor even if you consider it a slight downgrade.

    I have made Demon Core in blender
  • The outside of the demon core is a shiny metal sphere, wheras yours looks dull, like stone. Its no wonder the textures look off when the material isnt right. I see why you did this, though, reflective metal materials always look bad in an empty scene. get yourself an hdri or something to create interesting reflections, then turn up metalness and turn down roughness.

    Looks like Facebook is following youtube with anti-adblock measures.
  • youre right, but the lines get blurry. i wouldnt be a bit surprised if facebook literally is blocking the content. just wild speculation ofc.

    Microsoft may replace the Start button with the Copilot AI in Windows 12
  • switch to linux and the Windows key becomes the Super key, unused in shortcuts by any application and so you can map it to whatever you want. super useful.

  • I cant be the only person who wants all of my terminal applications to use same color scheme. It frustrates me that almost all terminal apps seem to set their colors with no respect to the 16 I chose for my terminal palette. I understand that more than 16 colors are sometimes useful, but additional colors could easily be generated by interpolation. why isn't this the default behaviour for more (or any) applications?
