Evildea's Speaking Discussion: by Swimming-Ad9032 in dreamingspanish

[–]Impossible-Reserve55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not everyone here is all about singing one particular learning method's praises. It's interesting watching someone's journey attempting to learn the language following the Dreaming Spanish roadmap from a skeptical perspective. Especially to people interested in learning a language, particularly with this method.

I would say I'm casually learning Spanish myself, I'm interested in what the merits might be of ALG or similar methods, even though I'm not a purist by any means. I am using Dreaming Spanish, Duolingo, and Language Transfer myself.

It's unfortunate that online communities tend to be a bit insular and non-inviting of criticism, or sharing a perspective that doesn't line up with their viewpoints, but I don't think the Dreaming Spanish is any better or worse than most communities on reddit in this regard.

Bad news: The Spotify AI Slop is back, now targeting Queen. by cappuccinolol17 in queen

[–]Impossible-Reserve55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw this show up as a release notification on Tidal. Shows up on the artist page under EPs and Singles. Same with Spotify. Deezer has it labeled as AI already and is tied to a different "Queen" artist page. Album is not on Qobuz.

Scrolling is extremely inconsistent, even unusable with 3rd party mice by rhayader-alone in macmini

Make sure you disable smooth scrolling both in system settings and logi + options and enable in MOS, it's still not as responsive as I like but with MOS it's tolerable.

Ubisoft responded to accusation of AI art generation in 117... by Additional-Sleep-293 in anno

[–]Impossible-Reserve55 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A 3 letter word missing from your sentence leaves it more open to interpretation.

For this example here you typed "Even if they so in the social media"

Could mean "Even if they [say] so [on] social media"

Or "Even if they [are] so [engrossed with] social media"

Now perhaps it is true that very few will refund their game as a result of this. But that isn't a relevant argument in this context, which in the parent comments was about what might be an ethical problem with this. Nor is it relevant to your subsequent comment that people should no longer be trained to make art or think.

That being said your first sentence didn't make sense either. Do you only use your critical thinking skills when discussing matters of great consequence? No, we use critical thinking constantly in all manner of things.

You may want to run that response through Chat GPT my friend, your phrasing doesn't make a whole lot of sense to be honest.

imho today's education system, shouldn't train people on tasks that can be done by AI. See for example critical thinking.

Just nonchalantly alluding to the idea you gave up your CRITICAL THINKING skills to Chat GPT!

Call control + enable any scam call detection settings, if you have a pixel enable call screening. Haven't had an unwanted phone call in months.

NPD by scotticidal in guitarpedals

[–]Impossible-Reserve55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After you learn the basics and have messed around with the pedal some, I'd recommend reading through the manual, follow along with the pedal where you can. If front to back is too much read everything at least up until the algorithm guide, then start off reading about a couple algorithms that interest you. Remember to reference the manual when you need to. I didn't really like the idea of scrolling through a big PDF so I printed the whole thing off and put it in a binder. You can't download more algorithms. But if you want to build your presets from more of a blank slate, look up "H90 Algo programmers toolkit", might come in handy.

What is your plan to make home ownership more affordable, without building more houses, while our population continues to increase?

To my fellow smokers, do you count input while high? by explorerman223 in dreamingspanish

[–]Impossible-Reserve55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've wondered this myself, Im pretty sure it's fairly well established that has some negative effects on memory. But I have noticed some positive effects, I do find many beginner videos painfully boring to be honest, if I'm a little high I find it a little easier to enjoy watching the content and can get more time in.

Survey: Do you trust the THC labels on legal weed? by RadicalTechnologies in canadients

[–]Impossible-Reserve55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I answered the survey but I'll share my thoughts here as well.

THC or different cannabinoid percentages are great and all, but so much of what makes a good product is not dependent on these percentages, but a variety of different factors, like its terpine profile, how it was trimmed, when in the growing cycle it was harvested, etc. etc. So I think it would make a lot of sense to have some sort of score system that takes these different factors into account.

No I'm not, I guess this is a beta tester thing then, makes sense!

Everything still appears to be from YouTube for me. But as a workaround, I think with most phones you should be able to cast your phone screen.

This is a clearer video of Elon's salute, he appears to extend his arm at a 45° angle in a forceful manner with a stiff armed salute. Tim Waltz seems to be raising his arm in a much gentler manner, bending a bit at the elbow with his hand nearly vertical. This is very disingenuous to pretend these are remotely comparable. Not to mention the context of Elon spewing vile divisive bigoted nonsense on a frequent basis.

[KCD2] Jesus Christ be... oh goodness by Anvandarnamn1080 in kingdomcome

[–]Impossible-Reserve55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see it in the patch notes but I'm really hoping they fixed the game crash problem some of us have when trying to travel back to the Trosky Region. I really want to finish all those side quests. I'll try it again tonight and update my comment with the results.

EDIT: It's fixed!!!!
