Is it just me or did the number of interactions on Mastodon go down?
Since two or three weeks I get much less interaction with posts, there is a huge chance that my posts are just boring but before that the interaction was noticeable higher.
How do you perceive that?
I'm curious how people find me here - because I keep getting new followers even when I don't post anything.
Am I linked from somewhere? Did someone share my work without me seeing?
I'm curious! 
#Metro2033 #Free #Gog #Question #Linux #Proton
So, Metro 2033 is free for a few days on Steam and GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/metro_2033_redux
I am fetching the GOG version.
Does anyone know how to play this on Linux without using Steam?
I have briefly tested my #AIText #question type with #Moodle 5 and it appears to work as expected. It gives feedback and (optionally) marks to a student response based on prompt to the #LLM. In this case it was OpenAI with gpt-4.1 With thanks to @PhilippMemmel who gave me an essential hint about the code.
My next stop will be to test against
https://github.com/mebis-lp/moodle-local_ai_manager
Which is the Mebis-lp (Bavaria) AI back end which is a good alternative to the core Moodle AI subsystem.
I’m thinking of #compiling #darktable from source so that it’s better optimized for my processor.
Anybody experience with its potential? #question #followerpower
I’m generally ok with how fast the flatpak runs on my i7-1255 laptop. However, with such an iterative workflow, I feel that one has much to gain with slight improvements via #opencl and AVX.

Windows is reinstating Recall,
Snapshots of screen saved every 3 seconds and fed to AI.
Previously introduced in May, 2024 to some backlash.
(...)"a gold mine for malicious insiders, criminals, or nation-state spies if they managed to gain even brief administrative access to a Windows device."
(...)"nothing stopping Recall from preserving sensitive disappearing content sent through privacy-protecting messengers such as Signal."
(...)"Windows 11 Build 26100.3902 preview version. Over time, the feature will be rolled out more broadly."
(...)"That would indiscriminately hoover up all kinds of User A's sensitive material, including photos, passwords, medical conditions, and encrypted videos and messages."
(...)"That level of detailed archival material will undoubtedly be subject to subpoena by lawyers and governments."
etc. etc.
Yeah...

Who would have thought that the international bond market was a 'co-equal branch' of the administration?

#question for #Python developers who do #multiprocessing
- What tips / tricks do you have for minimising the pickling / serialisation overhead?
- Are there any tools for #profiling what is being pickled?
- Bonus: what's your favourite Python profiler and why?
If you could explain to your 19 year old self what you are doing with your life today, what would they say?
Ebay opted you in to AI training on your personal data.
Perhaps #question this trend? I doubt many of you want this.
Apparently, "To turn this off, sign in to your account click on the Hi (your name)! > My eBay > Account > AI training preferences and you can toggle off the permission.'

Do #tariffs = #stagflation?

* CherryWingNLR a envoyé 5 photos
CherryWingNLR: A ton avis, quelle photo de PP devrais-je ajouter au rapport annuel ? (Je pense à la 3e)
Aimé: Oui une photo suffira
CherryWingNLR: C’est pas ce que j’ai demandé. Je veux savoir laquelle choisir.
CherryWingNLR: D’autant qu’il y en a toujours eu qu’une seule.
Aimé: ?
CherryWingNLR: Y’a toujours eu qu’une seule photo dans le rapport annuel. Du coup je prends laquelle.
Aimé: Aaaah ! Ok. La dernière est bien non ?
CherryWingNLR: Ok.
CherryWingNLR: Visiblement, 3 cafés par jour, c’est pas assez pour te tenir éveillé ^^
Is there a ferdiverse alternative to Facebook groups?
Where you can create a group that you can invite people to, post pictures and stuff?
Kinda like a limited local Lemmy community
#fediverse #help #question
#Sewing & #Mending friends, I have a #question for you.
I have a top sheet with a ~25cm vertical tear inside the body of the sheet (i.e., it's landlocked).
I want to mend it in a good enough way. I'm **not going to sew it**, make it look pretty, etc. I just want to not stick my foot through it in the night.
Current best option: duct tape (which is probably not ideal).
Is there a fast, easy way to make a non-sewing fix? Like a fabric tape or something? 1/n
Microsoft thinks you should recycle pcs that can't be upgraded to windows 11...
Please do not do this. Try linux or give them to someone else who will, or donate them to charitable organizations.
Goblins need spare computers everywhere!
#question
Can we have a #hashtag on here for people who wish to discard perfectly good computers, so other people on here who are less fortunate can get them and use linux or something?
Any opinioins on a best hashtag for that?
