Aight. These AI image generation programs do a fairly good job making pictures out of words but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to force them not to turn text into absolute fucking gibberish. Anyone got any ideas? I mean maybe if it was trained on *dictionaries* as well as the image content people freely distribute on the net, it might be better at it.. 😉

Yeah. It’s not as good as Plex, has a shitty unpolished interface, drops hundreds of thousands of files in the FS (literally taking a full three minutes to uninstall off of an m.2 drive on a 16 core workstation) and.. yeah. I don’t have a clue why people use it over Plex, beyond the “assumed” future problems of Plex “moving away from self-hosted to streaming media” and not being truly FOSS. If the former happens I’ll drop it, that the latter is factual matters not one bit.

Is it possible to have a single column that filters results for more than one hashtag, Statuzer?

So you can click and drag a column in Statuzer to move it left and right. Is that what you mean?

How's it compare to Phanpy? I haven't checked in with the latter recently. Just very happy with the Statuzer layout.

Good post. No bullshit, to the point and without the idolatrous glazed-eye fanboying so common with other “I luv Obsidian” posts. Very similar to my own experience and thoughts on the app as well.

I checked out Phanpy several months ago and settled on @npub1wlm…gju4 - another excellent column-based replacement for the default Mastodon advanced layout. Will take another look at Phanpy though, not sure why I didn't like it but it might have improved over time. www.statuzer.com

Not to mention the fact that it’s been made with Visual Basic or some other shitburger language that renders the interface non-standard and the fonts not even close to directwrite-enabled. And that there’s a new build every hour.

Same here. Apple have everyone convinced that the premium price is justified by their “we know what’s good for you” operating system. The fact that they think $3500 is acceptable for a pair of goggles and $999 is a fair price for a METAL MONITOR STAND is just breathtaking, especially when you consider that people actually BUY those things at that price then strut their shit like they own Lamborghinis.. 😄

What’s working even better are the ADHD meds I’ve recently gone on. Jesus Christ. They’re appetite suppressants as well, meaning I’m doubled up on that. 4pm here and literally all I’ve had to eat since last night has been a small bag of mixed nuts and fruit (and two cups of coffee). Still not hungry.
Last week I hit my lowest weight in more than 10 years. 😓

Correct.
I had uncontrolled type 2 for years. The values you saw were pre-Ozempic, which I was on for a couple of years before “upgrading” to Mounjaro. I’m also on glimepiride (upgraded from glipizide) and metformin. American burgers and all-you-can-drink soda in the 2000’s didn’t help my already fucked up health one bit.

BECAUSE of the Mounjaro. It was way worse once upon a time.

Jesus that looks good. Several things I haven’t had since I left Oz in 2002 - one is legit Malaysian laksa, another is Turkish pide pizzas like the ones we used to get at Istanbul on King in Newtown, ten million years ago when it still existed. Oh and fat greasy hand cut chips fried in beef tallow and served wrapped up in butcher paper.

I have a few NVMEs in USB-C enclosures. They're actually pretty fast. Don't know how fast versus their theoretical maximum transfer rate but one has Steam games installed on a gaming PC and those load pret-ty quick.

I’ve tried Cities (years ago), and it sure was purty, as I recall. I remember being absolutely addicted to SimCity when it first came out now that I think of it. Same low grade activity triggering the addiction. Haven’t tried the other two.

My wife and I have played it religiously for something like two years now. Sometimes for up to six or seven hours a day. It’s my desert island game. I believe I could play it for the rest of my life. Just the right level of low level activity to lock your attention.
The cooperative aspect makes it incredibly addictive. We were so pissed when Eighties was released as single player only!

2024-05-29 16:57:01

Was thinking about the most addictive #videogames I’ve ever played - bearing in mind I’m not really an avid gamer until “one of those games” comes along, at which point I hyperfocus like a bastard on it. Top three:
- Kingdom: Two Crowns/Shogun/Dead Lands/Norse Lands
- Twintris on the Amiga
- SSX (Tricky would probably be the top one my wife and I played)
Honorable mentions: Pacman256, Everspace 2, Elite (C64), Paradroid (C64), Champions of Norrath (PS2), Tiny Wings, Quake, Nemesis (Arcade).
