Anyone just hates how some apps can disable screenshots? in c/android

I like that it's possible, but I think it should be treated like a permission with a user accessible toggle in settings for each app.

Activist says trans people can’t trust Democrats to protect them anymore in c/[email protected]

They never really could. The Democratic party likes to claim issues like same sex marriage and trans rights as if they had anything to do with it. Same sex marriage had to be fought for in the courts during a democrat reign. They used trans rights as a big talking point for 2024 yet made little attempt to safeguard them during the previous 4 years. They ignore their base then take credit for all their accomplishments. They now use lgbt issues as an anchor to avoid promising any meaningful changes. It's the same thing the Republicans have been doing with abortion. All I'm saying is, Bernie2028.

Tech bros have ruined the prestige of a lot of titles. Software "Engineer", Systems "Architect", Data "Scientist", Computer "Wizard", etc.

Update on ConcernedApe's Haunted Chocolatier in c/games

You can but if you want to get a perfect score at the evaluation after year 2 you need to complete the community center and meet a few other requirements. You can reevaluate at any time after the 2 years but it's more interesting to do it within the original time limit.

I don't know what you're talking about. Stardew Valley is the most anxiety filled game I've ever played. 100s of goals, each with many codependencies and individual time constraints, all to be completed within a 2 year window.

Probably just a reporting bug. Comments stayed consistent.

For a 16k context window using q4_k_s quants with llamacpp it requires around 32GB. You can get away with less using smaller context windows and lower accuracy quants but quality will degrade and each chain of thought requires a few thousand tokens so you will lose previous messages quickly.

Everyone on my friends list who owns Terraria has well over 1000 hours. It's as close to a "perfect" game as you can get.

OpenAI's GPT Trademark Request Has Been Denied (tsdr.uspto.gov)

submitted 10 months ago by BetaDoggo_ to c/technology

First, applicant argues that the mark is not merely descriptive because consumers will not immediately understand what the underlying wording "generative pre-trained transformer" means. The trademark examining attorney is not convinced. The previously and presently attached Internet evidence demonstrates the extensive and pervasive use in applicant's software industry of the acronym "GPT" in connection with software that features similar AI technology with ask and answer functions based on pre-trained data sets; the fact that consumers may not know the underlying words of the acronym does not alter the fact that relevant purchasers are adapted to recognizing that the term "GPT" is commonly used in connection with software to identify a particular type of software that features this AI ask and answer technology. Accordingly, this argument is not persuasive.
