Time travel

Thank you, this was helpful. I’m also using Pop!_OS, so this reinforces my belief that it’s just a graphical issue. I also see this when checking for updates sometimes.

Yeah, I’ve considered a name change myself. Decided not to bother as it would mean every time I need to prove my identity to a government organisation I’d need to provide additional change of name documentation.

Government is hard enough to deal with as it is without adding an extra thing that needs to be assessed.

It boggles my mind how so many websites and platforms incorrectly say my e-mail address is ‘invalid’ because it has an apostrophe in it.

No. It is NOT invalid. I have been receiving e-mails for years. You just have a shitty developer.

Probably some bureaucrat decades ago making an incorrect assumption that passed down through generations. Happened to my family. No Irish roots whatsoever, yet somehow we ended up with the annoying form-breaking apostrophe in our ‘legal’ name just because it begins with the letter ‘o’.

I reckon this is probably what the issue is. Maybe it’s of a device type where an icon wasn’t created or where some reference to the icon’s image is broken. Thank you.

Everything seems to be working fine and it mounts successfully. Thank you for the suggestion.

Thanks for responding, but no, I have 3 devices plugged in at the moment and the icons don’t change regardless of which one I have selected. This is the only one with an ‘x’ icon. It doesn’t appear to prevent me from using it, but I’m unsure if it’s indicative of an issue with the device itself. Maybe it just means it isn’t a recognised device. Kind of wish Nemo had tooltips or something.

I used to read Australian news every day. Now I just don’t bother. This government just wastes their time on complete and utter nonsense like this while we’re in the middle of a housing crisis that they’re doing their absolute best to exacerbate.

I feel like I became dumber just reading this article.

In honesty (my last comment was clearly not legit), you likely do pronounce the ‘L’; most accents will include this in my experience.

Does the tip of your tongue touch the roof of your mouth just on or behind the ridge before your front teeth? If you release your tongue before pronouncing the ‘D’ is there a release of air? If you do position your tongue here and there is no release of air before pronouncing the ‘D’ (which does release air), then you are pronouncing the ‘L’.

I wonder how many of these were people who voted for Trump in 2016 and now feel shame/embarrassment after seeing the entailing colossal clusterfuck they were partially responsible for.

Crunchyroll’s (then Funimation) acquisition of Animelab is what led me to stop paying to stream anime.

Lower quality videos. Harder to navigate. Distracting watermarks on the side of the screen. Blocking VPNs. Ads even though you already pay them.

I hate that there is so little effort put into preventing monopolies from buying out the competition

It’s pronounced ‘moeoueieueld’. You really need to emphasise the ‘a’ sound to get it right.

Alternatively, compare him from Phantom Menace to Revenge of the Sith. Poor bugger aged 20 years in 6 years.

This is a fair assessment. I actually like politics, but I have still blocked numerous political communities because the users spam variations of the exact same 2 articles over, and over, and over, and over again.

It’s either going to be:

1. Trump be stoopid
2. Israel be bad

The first few times were interesting, now it’s just effing annoying. Blocking these communities has definitely improved my Lemmy experience.

Here’s my first attempt at that prompt using OpenAI’s ChatGPT4. I tested the same prompt using other models as well, (e.g. Llama and Wizard), both gave legitimate responses in the first attempt.

I get that it’s currently ‘in’ to dis AI, but frankly, it’s pretty disingenuous how every other post about AI I see is blatant misinformation.

Does AI hallucinate? Hell yes. It makes up shit all the time. Are the responses overly cautious? I’d say they are, but nowhere near as much as people claim. LLMs can be a useful tool. Trusting them blindly would be foolish, but I sincerely doubt that the response you linked was unbiased, either by previous prompts or numerous attempts to ‘reroll’ the response until you got something you wanted to build your own narrative.

Can’t help but notice that you’ve cropped out your prompt.

Played around a bit, and it seems the only way to get a response like yours is to specifically ask for it.

Honestly, I’m getting pretty sick of these low-effort misinformation posts about LLMs.

LLMs aren’t perfect, but the amount of nonsensical trash ‘gotchas’ out there is really annoying.

Ah, that is not how your initial comment came across. Though I guess you realise that now.

I honestly don’t recall ever encountering any bars on buying video games as a kid, or even knowing that ratings existed, though it could just be because my parents bought most of my games. I think you’re right that very few people in Australia care about ratings. To me, it’s clear that ratings are almost entirely arbitrary. It’s obvious that big developers get more leeway in how their products are rated than smaller developers anyway.

Australians do. As do international companies selling to the Australian market.

It’s sold in quite a few different countries. I get it from Woolworths in Australia.

I can’t really remember what spam tastes like, except that I recall not liking it as a kid; I think it was too salty and too spongy for my liking. This product seems to have a meatier texture than spam though. I’ve tried it a few different ways and it’s quite enjoyable. I even use it as a burger patty replacement. Slice it up, fry it, and it pairs well with cheese and tomato sauce.
