  • Thor's helmet looks so cool. Glad they enhance the images so they look this beautiful.

  • I cannot tell you how split I am between 'laughing until my sides hurt' and 'chills up my spine'. Do you think he can swim fast?

  • See, I have ebooks I want in audio, so I have to settle for 'robot' android voice when there is no 'audiobook option'

    Any good podcast recs? Any genre/subject is fine.

  • I agree. I used the term 'marijuana aficionado' because I hang out with those who exclusively smoke bud straight up from the dispensary. I don't get involved with other types of users.

  • There is research and papers showing that heavy music in general can actually be therapeutic and make someone calmer, rather than the perceived opposite effect. It can be a great outlet. I listen to metal, heavy music, all the time but when I have used it as a coping mechanism, i.e. an outlet for stress, it has definitely allowed me to release such tension. Not only that, but singing/screaming to vocals along to the music surely does release all of energy, and while there are outsiders who might perceive the music as 'angry' the incorrect connection they're making is that anger is an energetic emotion, as in unreleased energy/tension. Metal isn't angry music, it is energetic. That is why it makes such good workout music. It stimulates and satisfies that part of our lives, letting us be some of the 'nicest, most wholesome and fun people all around'.

  • Marijuana Aficionados. I've been straight edge my entire life but always hung out with them. Now, it is more common since legal restrictions have been lifted. The community in general is well, chill.

  • Other than Fediverse apps/websites, and F-droid for FOSS, I have switched to ProtonVPN and their encrypted emails.

  • All non-fiction how to books in print. The only novels I own are on ebook, via PDF on my phone. No number but just a few gigs worth. I can only consume novels in an audio book (narrated via app rather than an audio file). Chump change. Could estimate only about a couple hundred.....You need about 5K according to ALA to be a library.

  • Lol, just happened to me earlier today. My cat stole a piece of my roast beef. Can't turn back for one second lol.

  • Sorry to tell you but American platforms/forums are as bad, if not worse. Anytime I say something that can be picked apart and destructively critiqued--it will be. There is no immune place, aside from a community or platform that only accepts positivity and removes or bans negative comments etc.

  • While the cutoff for training can be around a year or so, they can access the web now so it should have been able to know this, it can summarize, connect, extrapolate, etc any info it can access on the web. While still capable of hallucination, less and less over time, but OP probably unknowingly or knowingly gave it a constraint when they fed it the info, it might have taken that as only using said info, and existing training data, measuring new info against training and rendering false. Mentioning something like what is a major event that happened last week, it will give a summary of that with highlights then sources. Then you can ask it anything about those. Anything that it could do with its training data, it can do with this temporary data, then a new chat the web's data is not preserved when you ask it a follow up. It initially uses training data only until you mention a recent time indication in your prompt, then it has the only choice of using the web, as long as it isn't requested not to. There are some other phrases that may prompt a web search, it uses its best 'judgement' for this.

  • Got it. Can we use this game for this community?

  • This was more intense than I thought. Could we just call this category 'career sports'? I've seen competitive excel spreadsheets, I need more gamified everyday-thing sports.

  • What are the official rules of that game? Because the ones I have found have you use links to random pictures on Flickr and are copyrighted. They wouldn't work considering your rule of only OC.

  • I am hoping to have at least another mod. I can't always be on Lemmy, when I am at work. I want something that Lemmy doesn't have yet. There isn't one dedicated to resources. I just add the other option so it is all in one place. I plan on tagging related communities in the description. I will have to see if the community gains more following and see what is needed.

  • To each their own, looks like it did pretty well to me, not that it matters.

  • As I stated, i don't really care. Never said it isn't happening.
