After futsing with my pen sensitivity, I've found these settings to work pretty well on the KDE Wacom tools. Pretty neat! I like libwacom for what it is. This will work until I'm able to afford a replacement. I do have a question to ask the HID team at @kde.org though: Where's profiles here?

Gonna be blunt, the reason I complain about AI so much is because it's made so much extra work for me, as I'm inundated with AI slopware games that I have to sort through and filter out, if this garbage tech ceased to exist tomorrow, it would be an immediate ease of that workload.

Interesting idea, but the numbers and the item system doesn't seem right. Dunno about you but I'm getting a whiff this isn't real.

Had the silliest idea: Quake Minesweeper for Windows 95

Some person quoted me saying gray morality leads to fascism bc right and wrong are blurred and ppl get sympathetic for the bad guys???? Gray morality in fiction encourages critical thinking. Believing everything is either Good or Evil is how you get ppl enforcing censorship and thought crimes shit.

I'm constantly impressed by the creations people make in MakeRoom but this... this is next level. (by @noxlotl) store.steampowered.com/app/2212670/...

Well I was just feeling downright awful but after this news I feel like I need a cigarette and a hose down~ Oh pleeeeeeeease let this affect other AI companies.

Hahahahaha. I would be GLAD if we got rid of LLM AI.

I wonder what the play was here..? Also how does the US defend itself when it's spent all of its resources on offensive use? Why is there even resources being used for non-defensive use?

couple months ago: let's show these assholes why americans are drowning in medical and other personal debt now: wait what we don't even have the weaponry now either

It's not a purity test to reject genAi. It's common sense.

Ok, yes to this freelance contract adding in, "[REQUESTOR] may not use artificial intelligence to create a fake version of [CREATOR]'s face or voice." I was already happy to work with them but now I'm extra locked in to deliver something good. 💖

A reminder that this User Voice is up asking Twitch to make all AI features opt-out by default, and give us the chance to say no. VOTE and leave a comment. twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338...

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

My tax dollars help make insulin free for diabetics as well. I may never be diabetic or have need of insulin myself. That makes absolutely no difference to me. If it will help others survive, a little chunk of my salary is a very small price to pay. In short, get your head out of your ass.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

The anxiety of "I love my friends, I want to spend more time with my friends" but conversely also "but what if my friends DONT want to spend time with me?" is an anxious thought I need to work at quelling in my brain.

Keychron announced "ZGM", open-source firmware for gaming mice

Coming sometime in Q1 2027, hardware vendor Keychron recently announced a new project to bring open-source firmwire to mice named ZGM — Zephyr Gaming Mouse.

I'm getting up for the day. It's been a rough weekend for me since I've worked weekend shift for month end, but we are back to normal for work and I don't need to stress anymore. I got a little sick too due to the stress. I haven't been able to take leave because of work being important.

This cartoon really highlights how all the "AI democratises art" stuff is bullshit. The point of LLMs is to generate profit (content) If they cared about art, they'd have been funding art already

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

There is no ethical way of being a billionaire. Those who got there ended up exploiting people to the point where they would never need to work a day in their life, but still siphon they funds and hurt the idea of a better society.

It's weird when people bristle at the idea of abolishing billionaires. Are you a billionaire? Is your mum one? Why do you care? It would be good to abolish billionaires. More money for public services, less money for them to buy rape islands.

I want to just say a huge thank you to the artists of bluesky. Y'all help conjure like 80% of the energy I use to get through my days.

...Can someone PLEASE give us a platform for streaming where we don't have to deal with this shit? 😒

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

RE the #PSBlackout: It's only one step of many we have to take. It's not intended to be the single savior. It can't be. We all know that. There has to be more. It's announced for a week to be easier to join. If you can, do more. Start now. Continue after. Cancel PS+. Stop buying.

Month end seems to be doing better than usual, so I might get back into normal flow sooner than expected. Looking forward to digging my heels back into modelling.

No. I am not boosting the Peanuts AI slop, not even for a quote dunk. Charles M. Schulz’s work is the pinnacle of *human* creativity. It is an insult to human art in general if you ask the machine to plagiarize it. It’s as bad as a slur, IMO.
