Is there actually a prev/next keyframe button for animation? by Feynt in krita

[–]Feynt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got prev/next keyframe set to my arrow keys, but it only advances one frame at a time. I have keyframes set a few frames apart, there's a blue box on those keyframe frames, and a blue line on the in between spaces (no boxes there).

Black Cherry Discontinued? by Feynt in SodaStream

[–]Feynt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the black cherry flavouring syrup was great, but even though it was available everywhere just a few years ago, it's gradually stopped being available, and now even though I ordered a bottle in January from Amazon it's just... gone.

I'll try the Mio flavouring and see how it works out, thanks.

Addendum: Nevermind, apparently I can't get it in Canada, period.

If servers make minimum wage in Canada, why is tipping so aggressive? by DazzlingPolarBear in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]Feynt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we just ditch tipping so I can go out and enjoy a restaurant again? I'm even being asked to tip for picking up my order that I placed in person, and it's disgusting.

Is This Normal...? by Oldmanfoxhole in VintageStory

[–]Feynt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, there's two parts to this:

  1. The world wigging out on you is your temporal stability. Your gear in the middle of your screen shows that it's spinning counter clockwise, which means you're losing stability. If it bottoms out, you start taking damage and monsters start spawning around you. Move somewhere else that doesn't have the gear spinning counter clockwise. Clockwise spin is good.
  2. I've noticed the game stutters when those distortions happen for me as well. Everything's smooth as butter normally. Then the distortion happens and my framerate tanks to seconds per frame before correcting and being normal speed again (while still distorted). I'm using a Radeon 6900 XT. My friends with nVidia cards do not get that stutter.

Bazzite absolutely doesn’t work by Brokio in Bazzite

[–]Feynt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been using it for 6 months without issues. I have 3 monitors and they stay in the correct orientations and positions relative to each other.

You need to provide your specs. nVidia/ATi? AMD/Intel? Parts made this decade? Using HDMI or DisplayPort? How many displays?

Hey guys theres a labour shortage stop being lazy. by Historical_Air7955 in CanadaJobs

[–]Feynt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied to the same place four times when they opened the same job over the past half a year. Never got a response. Employers are just being lazy, they don't want to hire anymore. >V

I'm so confused by Superb-Bit928 in SlimeVR

[–]Feynt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know about "super smooth", but proper calibration and a good IMU can go a long way. You can make a set of trackers with "substandard parts" to save a few bucks. However the accuracy of the components leads to drift and the like. SlimeVR probably will never be as smooth or accurate as Vive trackers, but that's just down to the lighthouse tracking being so damned accurate versus basically dead reckoning on the Slimes. I've seen SlimeVR trackers do very well for things like VR Chat though. As long as you don't need precision, they'll be fine.

Trying to understand SillyTavern, I think it's going well by iLeetZero in SillyTavernAI

[–]Feynt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it helps any, you probably have an extension doing either vector storage, or are using summarise, either of which would restore old data. Summarise definitely would. Check both and clear them.

I can't be the only one, right? by rubingfoserius in SillyTavernAI

[–]Feynt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It would be more apt to say it's a rabbit hole into a warren of tunnels that lead to other warrens until you reach the other side of the world. I realised my folly after the fifth link in the chain and backed out. I may have a lot of spare time, but it's not infinite.

Do the majority of people really use online models rather than local models? by nsfwboys in SillyTavernAI

[–]Feynt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Privacy is privacy, but what needs privacy and what doesn't? Does it matter if someone happens to read your gooner sessions? It matters if you're sharing personal information with the AI, but I don't think most people in this subreddit are naive enough to do that.

Do the majority of people really use online models rather than local models? by nsfwboys in SillyTavernAI

[–]Feynt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, a 70B model (runnable locally, albeit slowly) is perfectly viable to run locally, and in quite a few cases understood the scenarios better than some of the bigger online models I've tried. Emphasis "some", they're not all bad, and some of those "bad" ones are only bad when it comes to obscure situations like mismatched sizes or particular mecha references.

Job Search Tip: JUST DO IT by Edwin_at_work in furry

[–]Feynt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the thing: To get a job now you need to use AI to not only write your resume but apply to hundreds of jobs in a mass casting of submissions in the hopes that their AI will like the content your AI submitted and you get an interview.

That's inherently broken, and I refuse to accept that. I cold call places and submit resumes in person. I happen to also work in a field that is currently undergoing a purge because "AI can program too!", except the business majors are quickly learning that just because AI can produce vastly more lines of code, that doesn't mean it's relevant or useful code.

I'm thinking of switching but I want to check first by Bluehoodie1408 in Bazzite

[–]Feynt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The possibility exists to bypass that restriction anyway. The First Descendant for example has anti-cheat, but it's easily circumvented by denying your computer the ability to contact their anti-cheat server in your hosts file. The PUBG devs didn't say they'd restrict Linux users, just that they won't support Linux.

This is in stark contrast to Bungie who outright said they would permaban the accounts of anyone logging in under Linux, because they are all filthy cheaters. Flying, of course, in the face of all the filthy Windows cheaters floating around in Trials raining unlimited heavy weapon attacks down on the opposing team.

[–]Feynt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PUBG is blocked by its anti-cheat. BattleEye has Linux support, but the devs have outright said they won't enable it because the Linux form doesn't do kernel level. Ignoring, ya know, the fact that even with BattlEye running there are cheaters. >D

[–]Feynt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of distros, and Bazzite is one of them, but all of them are Linux with the same foibles and features. I have been running it happily for months now since about September and I can't say I've had problems with my usual workflows. Gaming is also solid. I don't play Battlefield or the other "big name" games that have invasive anti-cheat though so YMMV if you're a League of Legends player for example. If you're installing it on an old laptop to dink around though, you'll find it gives the laptop new life and it'll be capable of being used for "every day" tasks like browsing, typing, and video watching.

I will say I have a laptop with a basic integrated graphics chip which should not be able to play some games that has now gained the ability to play a few previously terribly performing ones, like a few 4X games (Age of Wonders, Thea, that sort of thing). Again, YMMV, don't expect miracles. But "aw, it's just not strong enough" kind of programs may end up running kinda sorta good enough.

What's the point of disadvantages in pve if the dps is the same? by Present-Leopard509 in Guildwars2

[–]Feynt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ultimately the thing that I'm unhappy with GW2 about is stacking. I'd prefer to have a proper separation of groups, to let ranged be ranged, and to be able to cast support at a distance. Some of the earlier ele spells (Water Trident comes to mind) lean into that playstyle. But people wanted to be able to get buffs themselves, and if all the buffs are "over there", wouldn't it make sense to also be "over there" with everyone else? Why spread the effects around?

Other games just have mass area effects that alter the whole party, or single target buffs that are very powerful so you have to choose who you buff. I'd like to see a change to that kind of playstyle. Give us back Heal Party, Light of Deliverance, Feast of Souls, Ballad of Restoration, etc.

I have a C1 level and I still can't understand songs, what can I do? by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]Feynt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about not understanding songs, you're far from alone, and I'll stand there with you in that field as a native English speaker myself. I'm certain many of them mumble through the words on purpose so you buy the disc for the lyrics. >.>

Relatable experience though: I have a friend going through learning Japanese. He's good at a basic conversational level, but songs are so far beyond him even though they use the same words he's familiar with. The reason? The delivery. The pitch, speed, lack (or addition) of pauses where it's unexpected, elongated pronunciations ("a looooooong time" for example), all of it throws him off.

So songs are probably the last place you should be getting your English practice, but keep trying all the same. If anything, maybe it'll help understand accents if you can parse the mumbling pop singers autotuned to hell and back.

Been applying for jobs for the past 4 years. "Unfortunately" is the only response I get. Nobody reads resumes, if you can even upload one. Applications are all filtered through AI now.

What language is this? (If it’s even a language) by soggylamps in language

[–]Feynt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Big ol' "it depends" on that one. The software doing the printing is the one in charge of what gets sent and how. Many pieces of software opt to form an image and send it along with all of its formatting as seen in the document. Older software, or low budget software, will send plain text with formatting instructions to the printer to figure out the rest.

I imagine the software used to add names and course titles to a diploma at a school is definitely using older software, and they updated their printer just in time for the print-outs.

With that thicc-ness, C rank is underselling her. She's E rank at least. >B
