In the general public’s eye: convenience is literally everything

lmao, you got me there!

Indeed, but I can’t use video games as an example in that time period

I wasn’t dogging on the author, actually praising them. In case you haven’t read the book, this is what Soma is.

If it was a typo: Freudian slip, serendipitous If it was intentional: More kudos to the writer, clever

Either way I find it funny and perfectly fitting.

Exactly. Or, to be more precise to the point of the comment that started this thread:

Physics is to Chemistry what AI is to LLMs

100% this, people say they understand AI is a buzzword, but don’t realize just how large of an umbrella that term actually is.

Enemy NPCs in video games back to the 80’s fall under AI.

Quote from the article:

With the mass adoption of ChatGPT, MidJourney, and soon Soma, OpenAI’s video-generating application

Mis-typed Sora, or is that a cheeky reference to A Brave New World?

Looks like it’s time to ditch PieFed. The past week has uncovered some other pretty shitty inconsistencies and incompatibilities with Lemmy instances that are beginning to make it impossible to use.

Just for your future reference I guess, might help to post a comment or put the link the description for other fediverse platforms that are clearly lagging behind.

Must be something wrong with Piefed then, because there is no link whatsoever in the post as I am looking at it right now, other than the image’s link. The title isn’t a link, either, just text.

Maybe post a source, since you quoted something from somewhere…
It’s not that they didn’t post a source, it’s that not all fediverse platforms are compatible with the Reddit-way of posting.

For those that don’t have a link in the description or title, a source:

In the very quote you pasted:

Newer versions of Mickey Mouse remain copyright-protected.

It’s only the version that was in those original cartoons that is public domain.

It wasn’t at all clear that you had a 2nd monitor connected, that is also useful information. Still, not enough data to really know.

Are both monitors the same make and model? If not, then it seems likely there’s an issue with your GPU or HDMI cable, but the symptoms are different because the monitors are manufactured by different companies. If the monitors are identical to each other, then we’re back to most likely being an issue with the 1st monitor.

This is the problem with assuming, there’s nothing in their notes about having a second monitor connected at the same time as the one that is tearing. This possibility didn’t even occur to me, but it’s plausible.

edit: literally a minute after I reply, OP confirms you are correct in your assumption.

although another monitor flicker when the monitor tears.

I assume that you mean “the 2nd monitor flickers under the same conditions that the 1st monitor tears”, or are you saying that you have tried 3 separate monitors, all with different behavior?

Take your time and walk through all the steps that folks have laid out for you in these comments, and try to answer each question we’re asking. There just isn’t enough detail for us to give solid answers or further suggestions.

The ouroboros vibes are strong with these companies

Ohhh, very odd. I’ve been noticing a lot of inconsistencies between Lemmy and PieFed like this, and now an app is something else entirely. Seems the fediverse is not unified on markdown support!

Apologies if I came off as condescending, not my intention.

I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking about. Do you mean the directory names?

In unix, ~ expands to the user’s home directory path and / just separates each level in the path.

Indeed, and Electron is not specific to Windows

You might be on the right track thinking it’s the monitor, but could also be related to the GPU (assuming it’s the same PC/card that tears across different OS’s).

If different machines all tear the same way, then I’d say definitely the monitor and the manufacturer may or may not be able to give some insight.

Otherwise, I think we might need some more details about the machine’s hardware to be able to give any meaningful advice other than double-checking driver versions and firmware updates, etc.

Things that might be helpful:

• GPU make/model
• Monitor model (the picture at least shows it’s an AOC)
• Connection type (HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C, etc.)
• Have you tried a different connection type?
• Have you tried a different cable of the same type?
• Does it happen on any other monitors?
• Are there other input ports you can try on the monitor? Do they also tear?

I do a similar thing for code stuffs, generally always make a ~/Git and ~/Godot so I always have a spot for things.

I also delete most of the auto-created ones if I’m using a DE that does that, because I have my own organization going on with various external/network drives. Only one I have always kept is ~/Downloads.
