Emotionally: Ice cream as a kid once. Offered to me after being denied it the day before as punishment for something I didn't do. No amount of ice cream can ever make up for having no way of defending myself against false accusations. No way to avoid punishment because I was guilty until proven innocent. Its a shit feeling.
Fish and potato dinners in the Norwegian Kingsguard army camp. I despised all fish meals for the next 7 years, I couldn't stomach the smell of them. Poor fish didn't deserve getting killed for such a fate.
Impersonal social media like reddit, lemmy, twitter, and mastodon is nice sometimes. We can have a conversation without the conventions, responsibilities, and limitations that comes with real life socializing.
I can decide for myself how long I want to think of a reply. And a reply isn't even expected, I can choose not to respond if something makes me uncomfortable to talk about. Nor do I have to wait my turn to converse, or be spoken over. I dont have to remember faces or names. Nor remember peoples background or recent events or drama they've been involved in. Theres no judgment on age, looks, ability, or gender (unless I disclose it of course). And its possible to fact check stuff while discussing, no need to wait until after to realize someone is trying to misinform.
Imho, all this turns toxic when companies involve "recommended feeds" like they often do.
My image viewer of choice will never implement it, they replied when I suggested, because the spec isn't standardized. And because they consider themselves photography viewer/editor, not an image viewer. Understandable.
The webp is a format used exclusively for web graphics with no practical use in digital photography, moreover, the technical documentation is not really standardized so it makes it really challenging to ensure 100% support. Mainly for those reasons, the webp is not supported in ZPS X
Im using it because it got the best tag manager/tag browser, not for the photo features.
It was great up until the last 15 minutes, I remember. And it was beautifully artful. But I was a bit colored by the comics, the villain and his motives was just so much better there.
Loved the characters, but the movie plot felt like a clipshow of a bigger plot that didn't fit into 2 hours. I haven't watched the anime but it probably was.
I loved Ron Perlman's Hellboy, but the Hellboy 2019 movie was the best. Felt more like a comicbook pulp story and less of a 2000-ish action comedy. But the public and critics has spoken; if it ain't a standard superhero action comedy flick, it is a "soulless" reboot.
What!? Hackers at 31%? The one with young Angelina Jolie? The critics gotta be some uncultured swine. That movie was gold! It was The Matrix type of cool before The Matrix. It put the punk part into cyberpunk for a lot of kids.
Also its a bad influence: Got kids inspired to learn about phreaking and phone systems.
Same. A solid watch. And lightweight and comfortable. And a style I enjoy. A decent app. Just too bad it ate another smart watch company, before itself got eaten by google, who so far has done nothing with it except slowly killing features. We are truly living in the age of #enshittification.
This is probably very unlikely and I got no idea what I'm talking about: But what if feeding it even small amounts of its own content, text produced by a chatgpt instance, poisons it? That it gets confused from being fed text that adheres perfectly to its own rules, and locks that text down as perfect and not needing small variations.
I remember some article warning about this in a big scale, and I'm thinking why must it be big? If its only a probability tree, even small changes to the probability would cause issues further up the branches.
That people (both the CTO and devs) eventually asking ME for suggestions. And acting on it even if on projects I've barely touched while working there. They been through multiple years of university and some have been through multiple jobs. I'm just a guy who knew a bit programming when I was hired as phone support 13 years ago.
I love the team though. It was just me and the CTO that did dev for many years, and now we are 7.
