Not sure if you noticed, or if sorghum noticed, but the link about dried beans they had in their reply refers to another blog post about your question. The author found that yes, homemade bread is cheaper when considering electricity costs, but obviously YMMV depending on power costs and the price of equivalent store-bought bread

The porn industry, like many industries, is very exploitative of those who do the actual work.

A lot of the other replies here are very cynical about simps, loneliness, etc but a much more optimistic view of it is adult performers gaining complete control over their careers. They get to decide their own schedules, exactly what kind of content they want to make, keep (almost) all of the money that their content generates, and maintain ownership of their content.

There’s a documentary called “Rise of OnlyFans” that was pretty shittily produced, but I learned some pretty wild things from the interviews in it, e.g. when they did a shoot for a normal porn studio, they would only get paid $100 FLAT for a video that would take several hours to make. Like yeah, that’s more than minimum wage, but they’re certainly not shooting every day and that’s peanuts compared to what the video generates in revenue

AI is such a loose term that calling anything with if-else statements “AI” wouldn’t be lying (I learned about decision trees in my university machine learning class and those are just giant nested if-else statements)

I like front ends so I have a record of what I have and have not played, and so I can easily pickup where I left off with series and playlists, but to each their own

It’s a beautiful hat, gorgeous hat. Some are even saying it’s the greatest hat ever made

I found about him from the documentary “Searching for Sugar Man”. I now play his two albums quite often. His first one is nice & upbeat, while his second one is more melancholy, so I play whichever fits the mood

My favorite song is probably Hate Street Dialogue

That room could be rented for $1k a month in California

My attitude was: If I’m going to spend money on the digital deluxe edition of the game, I’m sure as hell going to get my money’s worth.

By admitting to the sunk cost fallacy, you’ve really only proven my point. You’re gonna find ways to defend the game more than you should, unconsciously or not.

I know it’s hard, but in this current era of live service games recording metrics beyond just purchased copies of the game, you should vote with your play time, regardless of how much you’ve already put into the game.

Tbh this is also the attitude of cod players who stuck around after the BO6 release. Warzone especially took a huge step backwards. 20 Hz server-side updates for a battle royale game is pretty sad

I don’t have aphantasia but I still skip over descriptions. It just doesn’t really add anything for me. Much more interested in dialogue and actions

Couldn’t resist… the gif suits nearly any situation

It’s this attitude that drives meme culture into the ground. Like no, memes arise because they convey a specific feeling in a specific context. You just want to use the same picture to respond to everything because you have no personality

lol that happened?

A few other people mentioning precise GPA requirements, but for the computer science school at my (large) university it was top 10% of your class for cum laude, top 5% for magna cum laude, top 2% for summa cum laude

As someone who graduated cum laude, I sorta regret it. I wish I spent more time socializing, networking, and generally managing my anxiety better. I was able to land a job after graduating sooner than a lot of my classmates, but I also had some internships and some personal projects under my belt, so it’s hard to say how much GPA played a role. It all comes down to what’s important to you, your field, and how much work you’d be willing to put in after graduating to get your first job

Heathcliff is my personal favorite one-panel comic

Using an RSS app like Feedly to subscribe to different comics can be fun. Also comics communities on Lemmy

I used to have that problem with ln until I realized it’s essentially the same ordering as cp: source, then destination. The source being the existing file that you’re linking to, and the destination being the link that you’re creating

Video container types (.mkv, .mp4) are different from encoding types (x264, 265)

For both, the “best” or “better” is gonna depend on your use case. .mkv is nice because they bundle multiple video tracks, audio tracks, and subtitle tracks all into one file, but .mp4 is pretty much guaranteed to be playable on anything (although the number of devices that don’t support .mkv is pretty small at this point)

x265 is nice because the quality:file size ratio is much better than x264, but again, compatibility is an issue because x265 is still somewhat new, so older devices probably won’t support it.

As you can probably tell, I prefer .mkv + x265 whenever possible, but that’s only because every device I own can play them

Yeah, the team has been in a good bargaining position because the higher-ups are seeing OW players switching to Marvel Rivals in droves and realizing that they need to start listening to people who actually know what they’re talking about. Props to the team for sensing this is a good time to gain some ground and unionize

I can smell the fedora through this post

Huge KDE fan too but there are a couple defaults that make me scratch my head. Like single clicking opens stuff instead of just selecting
