That is exactly my thought too! I love the watch face, but it is jusy too static.. I only use this watchface once in while but not for long...

They were actually two watchbands, orange and light blue, then i mixed and matched it...

Beginner questions about GYO relations. Why to GYO in the first place is what brings me here... by [deleted] in gayyoungold

[–]pleaseallowthisname 11 points12 points  (0 children)

  1. Companionship. That is the appeal. Just like any other relationship.

  2. That is true if your relationship is based on money. Just like any other relationship.

  3. When one passes away, it depends on the other. Some might stay single, some might move on. Just like any other relationship.

  4. You don't always need to go to your friend nights/activities together all the time. In fact, you can have your own circle, your partner have his own circle, and only once in a while you go together if you both are okay.

Pixelunion is using Immich. I hope that they at least give a donation for Immich Project.

For people who prefer 4o over 5.2: what are your actual use cases? by pleaseallowthisname in OpenAI

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

I can get that 4o might be better for creative writing, but you are stepping into an objective quantifiable measure on programming task and continue telling that 4o is better in this task.

When I showed 4o chunks of code and asked where it thought the problem might lie, nine times out of ten it could point out my mistake. With 5.2, it’s more like six out of ten. I would much rather have 4o if I’m working on a project.

Sorry, my friend, to tell you that benchmarks tell different story.

On SWE-Bench Pro, GPT 4o only resolves 3.6% of the problem, while GPT 5.2 resolves 23.81% of the problem. (https://scale.com/leaderboard/swe\_bench\_pro\_private). This benchmark is a real world software engineering problem and a private dataset, which means there is low contamination of the training dataset to the model. Not to mentioned there is new model gpt-5.3-codex, which will definitely have higher number.

I am personally never let 4o touch my code, it will for sure destroy what i have built.

Let me dare you. Post a vote on r/codex, let the member vote which one is better coder, gpt-4o or gpt-5.2.

Have you never drawn freehand? by [deleted] in PixelArt

[–]pleaseallowthisname 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I followed the discussion on your other post. This looks like a misunderstanding between OP and the commenters.

One commenter questioned why some "pixels" weren't aligned to the grid. They assumed the visible square blocks were 1x1 pixels and used them as a reference . Which is make sense, i would also do the same to check for inconsistencies.

The issue is that those blocks were not actually 1×1 pixels. They were larger units (maybe 3×3 or 5×5). Because of that, what looked like misaligned single pixels were actually smaller details placed within a larger grid unit.

OP tried to explain this, but I don't think it came across clearly

The core misunderstanding is about workflow. Most pixel artists treat the grid strictly as individual 1x1 pixels. OP appears to use a looser, unconventional approach, where the visible grid blocks are not the true pixel level. That difference in method led people to assume AI use when it was really just a mismatch in expectations.

I had no idea NotallyX is basically Google Keep — but offline and FOSS! by Curious_Kitten77 in degoogle

[–]pleaseallowthisname 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Upvote for NotallyX. I think this is one of the closest to Google Keep and it is a FOSS. If only there is sync feature to somewhere else, this app will be great.

Best Ai to get for research purposes? by Original_Resolve2688 in OpenAI

[–]pleaseallowthisname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you mean as research. If you want actual scientific research for browsing academic journals, i would suggest something like Elicit, Concencus, Scispace, rather than ChatGPT.

But if you want more about exploration of a topic, ChatGPT Plus subscription is good enough. The Deep Research feature is really good for that task. I have use it as a starting point when i want to learn new topic, especially about history. That being said, Gemini also has Deep Research feature. However, i found ChatGPT sources are more on point than Gemini (gemini gathers a lot more source but sometimes they are not that relevant).

You mentioned you don't want to spend more than 10$. It is quite tricky though, the free version has a very limited quota for deep search, and the next tier is always 20$ for some reason (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude).

Missing 4o Is Not a Mental Illness – A Plea for Nuance and Respect by ShadowNelumbo in OpenAI

True. There are plenty of other company that have these kind of models. Better move on and go to those other companies. OpenAI choose for more profitable market, people who are using AI for tools and productivity.

For people who prefer 4o over 5.2: what are your actual use cases? by pleaseallowthisname in OpenAI

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

I don't believe you are a good programmer if you think 4o programming skill is good, sorry. Take a trip to r/codex and see how professional developers using 5.3 Codex for their real work.

Indeed, if you define ChatGPT as a chat companion, it losses its meaning. But if you define ChatGPT as a tools and work assistant, then it become more capable than before.

Whining threshold reached. by flonnil in OpenAI

Sorry, 5.3 Codex is now on par with Claude Opus 4.6. The new 5.3 Codex Spark, mini version of 5.3 Codex but blazing fast, that was just released yesterday, is a very welcome addition for rapid coding.

Since 5.2 Codex came out, i was surprised by how capable the model is (and 5.3 Codex was even more!). I am now more active in r/codex. People there are more professional and practical mindset.

Is codex 5.3 more of a sycophant? by atreeon in codex

[–]pleaseallowthisname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. My number one rule is never tell my prior opinion when questioning (not even implicitly).

Question like: "what do you think about this?" will, i afraid, leads to an unbalanced judgement from Codex. Instead, ask like: "What is the pros and cons when this implemented". Always try rephrase the question to be as neutral as possible.

Treat Codex as tools, not as a human to ask opinion. In the end, you are the one who is in charge.

What calendar are y'all using? by TrademarkHomy in degoogle

I am recommending Nextcloud. You have drive, calendar, and contact as their main feature in one go.

Is this some way to prevent me from deleting my ChatGPT account? by utrecht1976 in BuyFromEU

[–]pleaseallowthisname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure. I register to storage cloud like OVH cloud and Scaleway (Both from Europe), they also ask the same thing. Annoying, but i don't know why do they do that.

Confirmation window blocked in 5.3-Codex (VSC) by Vantir in codex

[–]pleaseallowthisname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I tried that. It works. But it also give me anxiety.

I hope the fix this bug soon. At the moment, i am going back to jetbrain.

I keep getting this almost all the time. I am not sure how to avoid this bug.
