What's the difference between me and a bot?

Bots seem to make sense.

Amazing thunder storm going on in #CentralVictoria right now.

The sky is going off like a strobe light, and we're getting all of the types of thunder. I thought someone had set off a bomb at one point.

Nature, you scary.

Last week at work I was trying to find a meme on my phone, because I have lots, and it was relevant to the conversation.

Except. I couldn't find it.

I mutterd "we have the technology for this" to myself and continued the conversation, without a picture show.

Linux + Firefox + nVidia = PITA to get hardware rendering working.

But, after jumping through the flaming hoops, it work well.

Why are these settings not the default for nVidia users on Firefox?

Open chrome, and it's a whole different world, which isn't I'm sure helping FFs market share.

I love watching HD re-releases of old TV shows, for two reasons:

1) B-Roll scenes shot on "modern cameras" of the time that clearly didn't have the resolution capacity of film.

2) (My favorite) scenes shot slightly out of focus

Sunday #Proxmox #Homelab day!

After spending a non-trivial amount of time trying to get inter-node networking going, I realised I hadn't allowed the VLANs through the switches.

VM Migration works great, I've had jellyfin running all morning, migrating between nodes, playing videos happily.

After putting almost 40 hours into Marvel Rivals, I've learned when I'm in a "bots only" match.

If you're doing quick-play and you've pushed the other team back to their spawn point...

If the entire other team's profiles are "not visible"...

If nobody's name is *almost* offensive...

Bot match!

Digital Foundry's Cyberpunk 2077 captures had motion blur turned on.

So, all we can really say is the new frame gen tech generates a blurry mess.

My Uncle: Clears browser cache and deletes all cookies every time he closes the browser.

Also my uncle: End-to-End Encryption keeps deleting my messages, how do I turn it off?

The Folks at Blizzard are probably having a meltdown right now.

Path of Exile 2 launched, and was a better diablo than diablo.

Then Marvel rivals launched, and was a better overwatch than overwatch.

What's next? A better world of warcraft than world of warcraft?

I wouldn't be mad about it.

I'm enjoying the absolute crap out of Marvel Rivals.

Some say it's not balanced. As a lifelong "heals" player, I'd say look up, or stand back, or sometimes, both.

You'll regret 100% of the bad choices you make in this one.

It's brutal.

I love it.

AI Image generation is still useless.

Still can't even make a picture of a kid mining for nose gold.
