Ah ok, I was mostly talking about hosting Foundry itself but that sounds promising if it’s relatively easy. I have some stuff set up but I’m very inexperienced when it comes to hosting etc

How difficult is it to set up FoundryVTT? I heard they changed some things recently but I’m very out of the loop

Oh is it? TIL

Now if only they could make a Lightroom alternative Id be really happy

Gimp is not intuitive at all. Krita or Paint.net are good free alternatives and Affinity photo is great (but not free)

I don’t disagree with you about AGI but the timeframe is the big question. Will it come in a decade or a century? Impossible to know.

It seems the current predictive machine learning is reaching it’s breaking point and improvements are slowing down. Is that because the limit is reached or just a temporary slowdown until something better is discovered. Also impossible to know

I have no doubts that AGI will eventually arrive unless we blow ourselves up

I think youre reading way too much into having sails or not lol

I would not want to go back to that era of illiteracy, poverty and disease.

Adapting old ideas into the modern world where it makes sense is good though

I assume they meant opinions when it comes to investing not opinions in general.

As someone who has a 4k monitor, 1440p is a great middle ground for gaming

I agree to a certain extent but there are diminishing returns, same with refreshrates. The leap from 1080 to 4k is big. I don’t know how noticeable upgrading from 4k to 8k would be for the average TV setup.

For vr it would be awesome though

They link all their sources. So regardless of where their funding comes from I’d rather have a good source of information instead of a non-existent perfect source.

“I’m going to watch half the movie then complain about it not making sense and having a bad ending”

How do you switch? Is it a different app? I’m using boost atm for Lemmy

Yeah, when w10 dies this is probably what I’ll end up doing too. I want to ditch windows but a lot of the programs I use don’t have Linux support

It’s not a zero sum game. I’d rather keep space research going to lower the risk as fast as we can. If you want to focus on the climate then we should end fast fashion which is much much worse for the environment. Also, space colonies are a chicken and egg problem, you cant just wait until the tech magically appears, you have to spend money inventing it. [Insert famous JFK quote about going to the moon here]

Then why reply at all? Zero effort is to avoid commenting, maximum effort is trying to answer, “Google?” is wasted effort

Was leaded gas common when you grew up? Just curious

Yep, Linux support will become more of a problem for me when Win10 reaches end-of-life. No way I switch to 11

I can’t get into gimp, it’s just too unintuitive and clunky imho. I’ve switched from PS to Affinity which is a one time purchase, got it 50% off when they had the “fuck Adobe” sale last year

I assumed it would be pretty obvious I was talking about digital media that needed a budget. Of course anyone can make digital media for free in their spare time but you’d need some kind of income to support that hobby. With UBI that would change

Which group would that be then?
