This reminds me of those games where you start off with water, wind, earth and fire and combine them to make new elements, which you then combine to make new elements, etc.

I wonder how the code works on emojikitchen.

Imagine stumbling upon a fully operational pink refrigerator, stocked with cold beverages, nestled incongruously in the heart of this arid wilderness. It’s not a hallucination or a mirage—it’s a deliberate and whimsical creation by the Namibia Tourism Board, designed to surprise and delight weary adventurers.

Those two sentences pretty much cover it.

Seem ok to me, both in grammar and what it’s saying about the change. O(N²) to O(N) would be an exponential drop (2 down to 1, in fact).

Not using Lemmy, but there are other options that can do both thread/Reddit style and microblog/Twitter style like mbin. Personally, I find them so different that I’m happy to stick with different accounts on different sites.

I’m not sure I understand your reply, but if your second sentence is saying that this image is AI-generated then you might like to know that this building is in Belgium and there’s other photos online.

I was watching the gameplay of the old Amiga Spy Vs Spy the other day (didn’t seem as good as I remembered)

I was expecting that store.steampowered.com (or steampowered.com) would be on the HSTS preload list, but it’s not for some reason.

Not for me, e.g. “remember, remember the fifth of November” is how we remember the date of Guy Fawkes Night in the UK. “Fourth of July”, “14th of February”, “First of April”, etc.

I guess you mean in the States, but perhaps they say it that way because they write their dates M-D-Y.

I wonder if this news will influence Luigi Mangione’s jury.

Also there’s that a file on a cloud service might change. E.g. Amazon sometimes updates ebook covers to advertise that there’s a show - even for those who have paid extra to have the ad-free option.

E.g. the sticker-type graphic on this and that the title is updated to “The Fires Of Heaven: Book 5 of the Wheel of Time (Now a major TV series)”:

Podlet is really useful in this area.

It’s a wiki, so there’ll always be troll edits.

It’s a shame that it looks a bit stupid in Voyager (post title and link are both next to each other and the same) but hopefully it’s an outlier.

This reminds me of an episode of Taskmaster where a contestant plans to gain extra time by hitting the alarm in the lift (elevator) but instead of slamming to a halt there’s just a little voice message and the lift carries on as usual.

If you upload an image, the URL field is populated with the URL of the uploaded image, so there’s not really multiple fields like it appears.

I can definitely change the template, although I won’t edit the bot before the next comic which might be any second now.

Bot author here - I thought that the current implementation was a big improvement because it meant you didn’t have to load up an external website but I should have known that not everyone would be happy!

Looking at the votes for the comments for and against this idea, it looks like if it went to a vote the current setup would win, but I’ll think about how it can be improved.

I had tried that before (when posting manually) but didn’t think it worked very well. I’ve edited it in to this post to test.

It’s also not technically the alt text, it’s the title text, but I’m not sure many people care about the distinction.

This is a great use of AI and it’s caught some small errors like the wrong its (which is one I find distracting when reading). The editing is light enough that it’s still your voice, just with extra punctuation and fewer typos.

You’re right, and it’s infuriating that the AI scrapers are just so lazy/incompetent that they do things like try to scrape every dynamic page of a git repo instead of just cloning it. Similarly, they could just connect over ActivityPub and it wouldn’t have much more overhead than another private instance.

There’s Anubis which uses JavaScript to force browsers to do some work before they can access, but given how unpopular Cloudflare is around here, I imagine there’d be a lot of complaints if it was deployed on every instance.

On Friday I spent over an hour trying to fix my Firefox tabs - I could no longer drag them to reorder or to a new window, and ctrl-shift-T didn’t restore tabs, but I could still do it via menus. I thought it might be something to do with the new tab-island stuff and tried FF safe mode, restarting computer, confirming about:config options, etc.

Turns out my headphones were resting on my Esc key.
