There is this talk on the internet that in our #dreams we never use our #tech #gadgets... which reminds me that once I had a dream in which I played #StarCraft in a room by moving siege tanks by hand on the furniture.
A few day back I also dreamed of using Stable Diffusion on paper... I would draw something by hand using a penci, and the drawing would refine itself the way SD would do it.
So I had dreams of doing tech stuff, but never on the computer on the phone. WTH?

@nprofile…w8us maybe they can argue that no one actually read the works, they were only used to train the AI which is a transformative use, and therefore is allowed under the Fair Use doctrine?
I mean this was the argument I heard legal scholars make in the context of training Microsoft CoPilot on GitHub stuff.

Seems like when I open the GRUB command line on boot, and do an "ls" command, it only lists partitions on my main SSD, and the other disk doesn't show up...

#Python magicians of the Fediverse!
What is the correct way of converting a datetime column in #Pandas to my local timezone?
If I do:
```
songlist.head(15)["Time added"].dt.tz_localize("UTC").dt.tz_convert("Asia/Seoul")
```
I have to manually give my location in a string, and for some reason, the `tz_convert` command doesn't recognize "KST" which is what I get from `time.tzname`.
```
datetime.datetime.now().tzinfo
```
returns nothing. What to do?

Did I kill my new PC?
I have an #ASUS Prime Z790-P motherboard with a 13th gen KF series Intel CPU, and #ADATA AX5U6000C3016G-SLABBK RAM. When I turned on the PC, I got the "one long, two short beeps" error after a few seconds (RAM is not inserted properly?), so I unpowered, and reinserted the RAMs. Now no sound, but intense blinking of the power LED, indicating RAM issue.
Exact RAM model is not listed in the supported memory on ASUS website. Is that the issue, or did I bork it?

To my big disappointment, according to the poll, only 37% of the people who answered call the chemical element with the symbol "K" kalium in their native language, and 63% calls it potassium.
In my native Hungarian, it is Kálium, and in Korean, it used to be called 칼륨 (kallyum), but it is now officially changed to 포타슘 (potasyum), to follow the international standards.
I personally believe that internationally we should call it Kalium to follow the symbol K.

@npub1pu7…p0lt I seriously think that trying to make on-line spaces more inclusive and kind based on almost 100% American standards is misguided and counterproductive.

@npub199l…ljf5 well, not all of them are horrible, and I just watched a youtube video yesterday which talked about specifically training models for hands, so just because at this certain point something is imperfect, it doesn't mean that via ongoing effort it won't be good enough to bring about the apocalypse 😂

@npub1m0z…lfl7 I heard an interview with one of their directors on the DLN podcast, and I remember they were talking about selling Fairphone with e/os, but I might be misremembering, or that might be a different thing they do.

@npub1m0z…lfl7 @npub16l6…4zxy I at least would expect the use of crossings to be minimized with some type of expected time penalty on those, but I know nothing about routing engines, so idk.

@npub16l6…4zxy yes, it does, the map recently got updated, on the 13th of December, and the last change has been 2 months ago.

hi @npub16l6…4zxy, I have mapped the sidewalks (with bike paths) around one of the largest avenues in Seoul, Songpa-daero in #openStreetMap
When I plan a cycle route along this road however, the app makes some weird decisions, like crossing from left to right side multiple times, sometimes not even on the crosswalks.
Did I use an improper tagging scheme? or did I create some edge case the app is not prepared for?

Other people about games and free software:
"games don't have alternatives like other software, because each game is a unique experience".
Me on games and free software: "all games have the alternative of going outside and having fun without a computer".
But still thanks to Wine and Lutris so when my friends peer pressure into organizing a StarCraft tournament, I can do it on Linux.

#vim and #NeoVim users on ergonomic keyboards, what did you do when you realized that the hjkl binds for navigation are not ergonomic?
I have just set up my layout on my new column staggered split keyboard, and found that using i for up, jkl for left down and right is just the most convenient for me for navigation. This of course interferes greatly with my neovim use.
what are your strategies to solve this conundrum?

@npub1rtc…9wd6 isn't there a version of creative commons license, which is attribution-noncommercial? But that's not the Creative Commons Attribution license, neither the "TuneTrack commercial" license...
In this case, it seems like the website / database might have confusing information in it about this specific track? Might be better to contact the artist for clarification?

I'm trying to use nvim-dap and nvim-dap-python to debug Python code in NeoVim, and besides installing the plugins using vim-plug, I'm totally clueless. Reading the manual is like reading alien language documents.
I guess it's time to hit up youtube and see if someone can explain NeoVim plugins to me like I'm five.

is anyone else having problems with Element? is it the web client that's acting up, or is there something with the server?
