and im just

question for Canadians and Seattle area people

is there a Seattle area person who can host a person and a dog who lost their housing for a while?

is there a Canadian who can help get them from the Canadian/Washington border to Calgary?

@cinnamon is in crisis

wargames shouldn't still hit as hard it does but we managed not to learn much about bringing humans back from the brink of extinction in the last 40 years.

The GitHub CoPilot system generates sophisticated enough code that we would consider it copyrightable if a human wrote it.

But the case law around this issue is relatively fresh, afaict. Does Microsoft or GitHub believe they own any copyright on the outputted work?

Mastodon instances blocking the creator and his instances is so wholesome

idk life sucks pretty ass for anyone with a chronic illness. 

thinking about all the gofundmes for insulin, a drug purposefully developed to be easy and cheap to make so it would take next to nothing to produce in order to make sure anybody would be able to afford it to survive, being short by just a little of their several hundred dollar goals. to get a medicine that costs pennies per ounce to create.

also funny that i don't have the money to pay for my health insurance but if i don't i die lol.

Asking for help, bill, cancer, boost+++ pls 

We just got the bill for the cancer surgery and it's lower than the estimates! In fact if we can get the fundraiser to $4000 ($1856 to go!) we can pay it out of hand and still have a buffer for continuing doctor visits.

So while this has become Urgent again, it can be solved, and we will beat cancer. Below is the redacted bill, also to be posted on GFM. Please share and give as you can!

also the difference in picture i notice with different av1 software renderering schemes seems to have a lot to do with losing static hdr10(+) metadata in pipelines

so rav1e converts mastering-display information in to floats and that conversion makes those data relatively inscrutable to ffprobe.

honestly, i don't know who to bug here.

enbies just want one thing and it's fucking disgusting

This is a long shot but I'll throw this out here anyway.

I've been looking for a job for over a year and a half and the only employer I've found that would take me in has been Diddly-Squat, Inc. Obviously the pay sucks, and I'm still looking so we can have three incomes around here and have a few luxuries like "unprocessed food" and "clothes that fit without holes."

If you know ANYONE who is hiring remote and pays $15/hr or more I'll take it. My only hard requirement is that it has to be suitable for an autistic ambivert with anxiety (for example, no call centre shit).

My main specialty is sysadmin and programming but I'll do just about anything at this point.

joan jett: (removes herself from the mouth of a hot blonde with a loud smack) im never said i'm gay i dont know why youd assume that

it feels the fancy hdr dynamic metadata systems are about getting acceptable output on cheap displays as much as anything else.

i mean, that's good for schmucks like me, but it's the kind of thing that is pushed the capitalist drive to make the cheapest thing that will still sell.

If anyone I know needs an artist, please talk to @Leucrotta and @scoots - their art is much better than they think it is and they deserve to be employed in a field they actually enjoy.
