There's a Verdict.

glaroc,

@gocu54 @Skepticat Yeah, I want to see this also.

glaroc,

@Skepticat @gocu54 So what isthe vertict? I didn't get a chance to hear it read, also do we know if anything, does he have to pay anyhting or something?

glaroc, to archive

So... This will probably be a long-shot and I reckon finding this archive will probably not be possible in the slightest, but I am looking to find the NHB Radio Show archive that was released a few years ago. 16 gigs worth of shows spanning from 2006 to the end of 2015. I have part of 2014's shows, and all of 2015's shows, but I wanted to find it to archive the rest. Out of respect for Liam though, I would ask for a private link as I don't want this getting around unintentionally, as I worry that it would effect his now more mature outlook in life and his professional stance that he's got going on now, but I originally paid $90 for the archive but lost a majority of it when I didn't have a place to store the data. If anyone has this, please reach out so we can work something out privately. I will not be sharing this content anywhere, I just want it for my own entertainment and because I miss the shows of the past. #Blind #Archive

glaroc,

@evilcookies98 NO i haven't, the website was originally known as NHBShow.com and part of it is still up, but I doubt the archive is there, because it was an archive you had to pay for to receive where you could buy portions of it to support the show. I paid for the whole archive which was $90 to support the show but lost the data years ago.

glaroc,

@evilcookies98 Where can I find this machine?

    @rooster What kind of beer do you like to drink?

    glaroc, to dbz

    For any #DBZ fans out there, its strange to think that Trunx's timeline was the timeline that originally was supposed to occur, and what we are seeing is really an alternate timeline created by Trunx's tampering with time by warning Goku and the others about the androids. Without it, Trunx's timeline would have been the original timeline thus Goku would have died, as well as the rest of the gang but even worse as Trunx most likely would never have defeated Cell and Cell would have taken over earth after absorbing the androids and who even knows about the Buu saga or the Goku Black Saga even happening as a result in this original timeline.

    BIG NEWS!!!

    Atari just bought Intellivision!

    No, we’re not living in 1980. This acquisition actually happened just now in 2024. Not 2024 BC, but in two thousand twenty-four years after the Year of Our Lord.

    And, oh my god, this quote from Mike Mika is gold:

    Uniting Atari and Intellivision after 45 years ends the longest running console war in history.

    WOW! What a time to be alive!

    https://atari.com/blogs/newsroom/atari-acquires-intellivision-brand

    glaroc,

    @atomicpoet I would buy those systems if they were still sold, incredible that such a war is over after 45 years.

    glaroc,

    @atomicpoet Oh wow cool! I'll have to look up how much it costs, but I might do that for the hell of it.

    So, I know generative AI is supposed to be just the most incorrect thing ever, but I want you to compare two descriptions. "A rock on a beach under a dark sky." And: The image shows a close-up view of a rocky, cratered surface, likely a planet or moon, with a small, irregularly shaped moon or asteroid in the foreground. The larger surface appears to be Mars, given its reddish-brown color and texture. The smaller object, which is gray and heavily cratered, is likely one of Mars' moons, possibly Phobos or Deimos. The background fades into the darkness of space. The first one is supposed to be the pure best thing that isn't AI. Right? Like, it's what we've been using for the past like 5 years. And yes, it's probably improved over those years. This is Apple's image description. It's, in my opinion, the best, most clear, and sounds like the ALT-text that it's made from, which people made BTW, and the images it was made with, which had to come from somewhere, were of very high quality, unlike Facebook and Google which just plopped anything and everything into theirs. The second was from Be My Eyes. Now, which one was more correct? Obviously, Be My Eyes. Granted, it's not always going to be, but goodness just because some image classification tech is old, doesn't mean it's better. And just because Google and Facebook call their image description bullshit AI, doesn't mean it's a large language model. Because at this point in time, Google TalkBack does not use Gemini, but uses the same thing VoiceOver has. And Facebook uses that too, just a classifier. Now, should sighted people be describing their pictures? Of course. Always. With care. And having their stupid bots use something better than "picture of cats." Because even a dumb image classifier can tell me that, and probably a bit more, lol. Cats sleeping on a blanket. Cats drinking water from a bowl. Stuff like that. But for something quick, easy, and that doesn't rely on other people, shoot yeah I'll put it through Be My Eyes. #accessibility #AI #LLM #BeMyEyes #blind

    glaroc,

    @pixelate 100 percent, we wouldn't have to use AI for shit if people made there stuff accessible in the first place. Its literally humans that make things less accessible and then treat us like we are evil for using something that betters our lives by making inaccessible shit accessible to us because of there paranoya that AI is destroying the world or some shit like that.

    Question guys, if for some reason I ever have to end up resetting my computer, what happens to all of my stuff? I ask because most of it is not stored on the same drive with the operating system.

    glaroc,

    @evilcookies98 did you back it up somewhere else, if I were you I'd back it up in multiple places if at all possible, that way if something happens and you do need a reset, its not even an inconvenience.

    I was just out for a run by the park, and this psycho lady let her pit bull off the leash – it came running after me!

    She yells back at me, “Don’t worry, he’s friendly!”

    Lady, I don’t care how friendly you think your dog is. I want him nowhere near me. Besides, this isn’t an off-leash park anyway.

    That was terrifying.

    glaroc,

    @atomicpoet Oh man that would definitely be terrifying for me also, I love dogs, but not unknown dogs. You just never know how they will react even if they are usually friendly with people.

    To people sounding alarm bells about Mastodon becoming worse, what are you doing to make it better?

    It’s one thing to scream “enshittification”. It’s another thing to contribute edification.

    If you’re not contributing to the solution then you’re contributing to the problem.

    glaroc,

    @atomicpoet Man this is the truth, we literally have the ability to make our own culture and enforce it, its on us to make our experiences on Masto better.

    Eventually the HOA of the Fediverse will realize that they have no control over open protocols and how people use them.

    There’s how you think things should be and then how things actually are—they are not the same thing.

    glaroc,

    @atomicpoet lol, actually true, and its exactly the same for server administration.

    At this point, I think it would be insane of Microsoft to not start offering stock Windows on Xbox consoles.

    Of the three modern consoles, the Xbox Series X|S has the smallest game library.

    By running stock Windows, Xbox gamers would now have access to Steam, GOG.com, itch.io, Epic Game Store, and more.

    They’d go from having the smallest library to the largest library – one that spans decades. They’d be able to play old bangers like S.T.A.L.K.E.R., which never got a console release.

    And hell, if Microsoft added trackpad support on the Xbox controller, Xbox gamers could even play the original Baldur’s Gate, which also never got a console release.

    If Microsoft added the entire original Xbox and 360 library, Microsoft would have the best damn gaming platform on the planet.

    glaroc,

    @atomicpoet dude and with game pass, it would absolutely beat out Sony and Nintendo and they would never be able to compete, it would be essentially a no-brainer to get an xbox.

    glaroc,

    @atomicpoet even better if they could build a portable xbox platform, imagine that, the Switch would be killed as a result.

    glaroc,

    @atomicpoet yep, heard its in the works for a 2029 ot 2030 release form leaked documents that came out last year.

    glaroc,

    @atomicpoet yep, its definitely gonna be a tough market, but I'm sticking with Xbox for the accessibility alone.
