It’s a play on nostalgia and FOMO as an advertising / service offering to get people back into theaters. Their decline due to digital / streaming has been exacerbated by the pandemic, so that’s why you see / hear about this a lot more now.

Personally, I think it’s the right call because I’ve been loving seeing or re-seeing classics in the theater. The experience is nice and like the other poster mentioned, helps me feel more connected to the fanbase. Definitely going to see this!

I’m really excited too. I like my PSVR2 a lot, it’s more comfortable and higher quality than my index. But I just can’t wait for modded beat saber again, the official tracks are getting tiring.

This is a good tip. While it’s nice it’s automatic for templates it would be nice if I could enable a warning or even build error if I miss a type hint. I’ve started using them everywhere because it helps me when I’m going back through old code or code that hasn’t changed in a while. Especially helpful for debugging. As a recent typescript convert, I much prefer gdscript with type hints.

KVM + LookingGlass + VirtManager should be the way to go. I don’t have a good complete tutorial on this right now though. But good place to start looking.

Long cycles is a strategy of the institutional parties. Both sides in the US. It’s endlessly tiring by design, so that no one fatal campaign misstep/flaw can tank the whole platform.

I agree, we need to bring it back to at least a few months instead of 2+ years.

Honestly this isn’t too surprising or unreasonable. The White House can and should reach as many people as possible for a variety of communication reasons. Twitter is still wildly popular and has reach, so it’s a no brainer to tag along. They also post on many other social media platforms for the same reason. It’s not really a big deal imo.

GPT4ALL for chat and Automatic1111 for generative with downloaded models works great. The former does not require a gpu but the later generally does.

I remember messing with this in the late 90s. You could set the computer to listen to “computer” just like Star Trek. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to do anything more advance than the demo features because of being a dumb kid but it was neat!

Or, just use Home and End like they were intended! Kids these days….

Is there any tool that can keep an updated model automatically, kinda like the open source steam cache? I’d love to self-host Wikipedia that syncs daily or weekly with changes.

This! Using my knowledge and practice to practical effect and being thanked for it is genuinely the best feeling! Even if it’s transactional, it’s still nice to feel like a job well done after all the years of effort and craft.

Been using it since it launched- it knows my taste inside and out and has been the source of a quadrupling of my library of music. The radio discovery is insanely well tuned for me and the cost is just fine compared to buying music. Other than that idk how much I believe that AM pays artists more mostly because the real thieves are the labels who aren’t letting the money make it to the artists. But if so, that’s a bonus. It also works seamlessly in the ecosystem to the point of being an actively sought feature for me as someone who has several devices therein. There’s also some nice extensions that automatically convert links from any music service to AM and back so I never feel like all my Spotify friends leave me behind because sharing music is automatically converted on my end. Rarely is something not available on either service.
