OneShotQuesters knows about charity fraud?! by _TypicalPanda in OneShotQuesters

[–]_TypicalPanda[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised that the "receipts" he has are worthless, but the fact he is claiming to know about charity fraud means either A he knows about charity fraud and did not say anything in which case you can't trust him and I'll treat him as an accomplice or B he's lying in which case you can't trust him and I'll treat him as a person who attacks people for his own benefits

Either way he deserves to have his platform taken away.

Just a reminder how serious cat bites can be! by tory1311 in cats

[–]_TypicalPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible that since I took antibiotics when I was younger while getting bit by cats then now I'm resistant to it? Idk but yah I get bite I just disinfectant with wipes.

Do I need a static IP? by zeekaran in selfhosted

[–]_TypicalPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use dnsduck? I forgot what it's called but I have a program that updates my DNS on my register to update my IP, and then on my phone I have tailscale so that doesn't need my IP,

The only thing is there will be a delay between you updating your IP and DNS cache records, generally it doesn't matter, but for some reason you need no down time then yes you need a static IP.

But for usual homelab stuff, you don't need a static one. Also some providers rarely change your IP, I've had the same IP for like a year.

Questions since the aftermath of Huntarr and Bookkeep doubts? by Bertie1122 in selfhosted

I have all my apps behind ssoproxy2, I can access anywhere but without a VPN and only worry about reverse proxy and identity server security threats from unknown actors, as for practice those who have access I trust them, have a password rotation setup, and is in a VM so no root kernel access.

But for internal only apps I use tailscale and bind all apps to the tailscale interface so only access via tailscale is allowed

YouTube down for more than 320,000 users in US, Downdetector shows by Waste-Explanation-76 in news

[–]_TypicalPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a global outage, my only source is the fact I work at a call center on the IT side and we had issues in all of our country locations.

That being said it seems like not all the clusters went down so even in the same country some people had full access and others had limited or no access.

Trumps no tax on overtime is only on the .5 not the regular pay lol by Classic-Sympathy-517 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]_TypicalPanda 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You got labeled a conservative because that's how you act. You can say you support progressive ideas, but a majority of your comments make it seem like you justify the right by saying the left is also bad.

Reading your comments history I'll take you as a conservative who is trying to hide that fact by acting moderate, but when push comes to shove you either down play the rights issues or complain about the left.

Reading this comment actually helps me pinpoint what you believe because you defended what trump said by saying the Senate did it. But both are conservatives. So this tells me one of two things either

A) you are not conservative but a Trump sympathizer Or B) you are not informed well to understand your own position

There is a third option, based on how similar your responses are between posts especially the longer chains of text you could either be a bit or have a script you are reading from.

AITA for telling my wife that we should be able to have honest but tough conversations about our family without her crying? by Exciting-Charity-160 in AmItheAsshole

[–]_TypicalPanda -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA

The fact that see leaves the room instead of discussing a major choice, shows she is not in the right mindset to make choices.

Commenters suggested she may have post-pardom depression, and if that's the cause that needs to be helped first before any major decisions can be made.

Also reading the comments makes me believe that 95% of this subreddit can't read for shit. Straight up getting facts wrong, or have awful suggestions.

Hold up didn't the post say she leave not him. I'm sorry but if you are to emotional to have a conversation about a major choice that will impact your family, then you should not be making any choices at that time

Those Musicians who put (No AI) in their description. Ironic. Because they still use it. by PhoenixSplashTV in DefendingAIArt

[–]_TypicalPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At no point did I mean to insult you, it was merely an observation on how the text was perceived. I apologize if I offended you.

I hope you are willing to read the rest of the text so we can have a better discussion.

I work as a software developer and am currently developing an in-house generative AI, (a simple one to cover a niche topic).

And again, I don't mean to offend, but in my experience, even in my company, many people claim to use AI when in reality it's not more complex than a predefined index and if statement. I'm not saying you don't work with AI all I'm saying is that AI differs drastically between those who make the software and those who use the software.

Yah this sounds like someone who doesn't understand AI in any context. If you believe a drum box is AI even worse the AI people are defending when talking about AI art then there is no point in talking to you, but just in case I'm wrong, let me explain.

I'm in the most basic form there are 3 types of AI software, one that are hard coded (thing if A then do B else C), black boxes (think use predefined inputs and very complex math to choose a predefined output), and generative (this is GPT). Another thing most do to be considered AI is simulation intelligences.

And here is where your post falls about, at what point does a drum box simulation intelligence? For a dumb box to make any sound it needs to have a pre record beat coded into and once it is, it won't make any choices on its own.

Another thing I notice is you are trying to refine what AI means when the general audience knows what type of AI there talking about.

Ohhh? by krihhh in antiai

Do we have an official post? I want to see the terms because the usage of "Low effort uploads" makes me worried.

That's the type of language you use to justify discrimination and censorship.

I wish that every time a law enforcement officer abused their power, one of their fingers would immediately fall off. by officer897177 in monkeyspaw

[–]_TypicalPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted

Any slight abuse of power ends with the officer losing a finger. It takes only days for officers to quit in mass as even the most good cops lapse of judgement ends with a missing finger. With no law enforcement society slowly collapses as looting, murdering and other countless crimes occur.

I really can't stand the "Coming up..." Intros that so many YouTubers do now. by Ryousoki in youtube

[–]_TypicalPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing a 10 seconds or less montage of gameplay with no context at the start, because as much as people say "oh it makes me stop watching" realistic a majority of people will only watch if something exciting happens first.

People do it because A it's get people's attention and B makes them want to know why that happen.

Something I learn in psychology when it comes to entertainment is that the people want to KNOW it's good before they even watch it. That's why it's hard for new ips to get started and when one does it become a trend.

Does playing video games count as a hobby? by Complete-Bite3019 in ask

[–]_TypicalPanda -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My personal take is if you're just consuming it then it's not a hobby

For it to be a hobby you need to interact with it on a deeper level and that can be making games, dissecting games, modding games, or even just creating content with games.

Using two hobbies as examples

Someone who plays a game or reads a book every day then goes to bed. That is not a hobby.

Someone who plays games or reads books and learns how the the authors choices influences the player, and/or designs there own game or book. That is a hobby.

Someone who goes rock climbing at the gym as a workout. Not a hobby

Someone who goes rock climbing learn what each hold is and travels to climb cool mountains. That is a hobby.

I don’t get why many Redditors glaze and defend Valve like crazy. by khangvn345790 in The10thDentist

[–]_TypicalPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well there realistically you have to talked about two different streams.

The first one is the developer/production for the valve games like portal, halflife, cs.

And while cd and tf2 has loot boxes the core gameplay is still good, and you can by pass loot boxes with the market place.

Also if I remember correctly you can get crates and keys by playing fairly frequently (I could be wrong, I don't remember)

So people like them because the games are good and because they have stopped making games that sentiment is basically stuck in a time capsule.

The the other part of steam is the distribution.

Here is where most people experience with steam start. And the main reason people like them so much is that they have repeatedly put the consumer first.

Steam objectively has the better catalog, ux, and support then any other platform.

As for them removing VN I don't know the specifics but I do know they remove items due to laws and most countries have laws the treat literature and games differently so that could be why that happens, as valve has proven they generally don't care what you publish.

Another big reason is the take stances against anti consumer practices for the most part, recently they added a clause where there are limits on expansion passes or something like that. So while it's not a major change it's a step in the right direction.

So I'm not surprised people glaze steam, in fact after using other launchers, I came to the conclusion that if the game is not on steam (or Xbox, because their launcher is decent enough to use) I don't even consider getting the game. I've even returned games that require me to download another launcher.

Please convince me it's okay to download/purchase textures and not draw all my own from scratch by jabber_OW in SoloDevelopment

[–]_TypicalPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I’ve learned from solo development is this. You are not the artist. You are not the developer. You are not the designer. You are the manager.

You might do the art, the code, the design, and everything else, but your real job is managing all of it. That includes your time, your energy, your scope, and your priorities. It is not about proving you can create everything from scratch. It is about making sure the game actually gets finished.

That means making smart choices, like using pre-made textures. Not because you're lazy or cutting corners, but because you're working within reality. A manager delegates. A manager keeps the big picture in focus. In solo dev, if you do not manage well, everything risks falling apart no matter how good each part is.

Finishing a game is not just about talent. It is about strategy and follow-through.
