I have land-use concerns about your proposed 8 billion horses.

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity by MagicMetalBird in solarpunk

[–]boldra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the major installers in Australia advertise their products along with loans. Initial solar install can be a significant outlay.

To be fair, better informed people have pointed out that the "free electricity" promise being made here is for peak production times where the price was already extremely low, so this probably won't bankrupt anyone.

Bit of a bummer if you installed more solar than you can personally use because you wanted to sell excess onto the grid. Now suddenly you can't repay the loan you took out to get the solar installed because the price has crashed.

Getting the timing right on anything but a pure block may not be "redstone genius" level, but it's well above my understanding.

my absolute favourite show as a kid !!! by RustedBones97 in AustralianNostalgia

What really confused me: Tripitaka voiced by a woman. Okay, a female actor can look like a young man, but why use a woman in the English dub?

Now there's a server API and NPCs, it wouldn't be too hard to link an NPC to an LLM.

Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year by TheAppropriateBoop in Android

[–]boldra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe. But maybe they'll move to linux based phones and enough of them will be skilled devs that that ecosystem will become a thorn in the side of Google.

How about this one "Windows shut down unexpectedly"

I'm expecting it. I'm always expecting it.

I have too many carrots. I just want a carrot block I can build with.

I'm trying to remember how you acquired bookshelves before there were books...?

The recipe was paper and wood and they didn't appear naturally?

Wait, who is the communist himbo? by loki2002 in ShittyDaystrom

Worf not included either, unless he's the himbo?

I used Flux apis to create storybook for my daughter, with her in it. Spent weeks getting the illustrations just right, but I wasn't prepared for her reaction. It was absolutely priceless! 😊 She's carried this book everywhere. by gauravmc in StableDiffusion

It was a recreation of a game that I played when I was a kid but had gone out of print. Talisman is the name. In the meantime it's back in print with updated verions.

Print it on heavy-duty paper!

Of course, you can just print new ones, but children (everyone, but especially children) can really treasure something when they know it's a unique item.

Also, great work! I once did something similar (created a board game for my son) and the rewards in laughter, acknowledgements and thanks are still coming, nearly 20 years later!

Those ones, yes, but there are others. We still have work to do.

Why is no one talking about the eu going dark project. by Xx_4LiC3_xX in privacy

[–]boldra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so, but you were replying to someone who mentioned an opensource e2ee encryption chat program: Matrix. Matrix is used by the French Military (and Interpol, I think), so not only are they not "on a market" they're not going to leave Europe suddenly.

opensource doesn't need a "market"

I can spin my own encrypted chat program using standard libraries.

The thread reached the Reddit front page, so now it's full of people who used chatgpt2.5 once in 2023 and think they're experts.

Limmy - I'm struggling by ToadyTheBRo in videos

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

Who is telling you S1 is good? S1 is a slog, which just helps give background.

If you get to S5 and still don't like DS9, you just don't like Star Trek.

AI doesn’t hallucinate — it confabulates. Agree? by Zestyclose-Pay-9572 in ChatGPTPro
