I have to say, judging by the number of comments this got in 20 minutes, it might be in the wrong community.

You’re the one saying it’s reasonable to expect a reset of the warranty on every repair. I just said why that’s not reasonable; your follow-up here makes no sense.

If you’ve ever fixed an issue with the family PC, and then had a relative call 6 months later because “what did you do, it’s broken”, you’d understand exactly why warranty isn’t offered on warranty repairs.

If you have any experience in software development, you’d realize it makes sense more often than not to use other people’s solutions if they exist before building your own.

First of all, I’d advise avoiding talking down to people unless you’re damn sure you know what you’re talking about. But, since you’re comfortable patronising people you know nothing about because they call you on your bullshit, then I’ll stoop to your level to get the message across:

If you knew anything at all about engineering, software or otherwise, you’d know the best solution is the one that does exactly what you want for the lowest cost. By your own admission in your post, existing Lemmy instances do not do what you want because you are not in control of the moderation. That is the actual problem because the only solution to your complaint - that you don’t like the way the instances are moderated - is to moderate your own instance.

The fediverse is built such that anyone can take the solution someone else built, e.g. the Lemmy or Mastodon source code, and host it themselves, without having to build their own version. This is a feature, and you’re just too lazy to use it.

I mean, it’s your instance so that’s your call, right? All it means is your community will be smaller because fewer people will make it through the filter of your values, but if your goal isn’t endlessly adding users then who cares if the community you build stays small? The beauty of the Fediverse.

“Should be”? Where do you think you are, Walmart? This is free and nobody is making money off your use of it. If you don’t like the way other people run their servers, make your own with blackjack and hookers. Complaining makes you seem entitled, like you crashed a party and started bitching about the canapes, because there’s nothing stopping you from having your own party.

“Death” would be the noun, “die” the (intransitive) verb. “Dead” would be the adjective, i.e. the condition.

Although it has to be said that there’s a lot of flexibility and I’m pretty sure you could find valid ways to use each of them in all cases.

Very nice, that’s a great chip! I’m excited for you, enjoy the new rig 😊

I’m very, very happy with the 9800X3D, so you can save yourself a bit of cash there to put towards the GPU. With a fast modern CPU like that, you might even consider an Intel B580 to relieve that GPU bottleneck.

Yikes. How do you handle it - try not to think about it, stay out of the house? Dark humour and fucked up jokes? Do you interact with her much? Any opinions on her?

Edit: sorry haha I know this isn’t an AMA 😅

I’m sorry, now we’re not just simulating rays to trace, we’re emulating simulating rays to trace? How is that more efficient?! Computer science == warlockry, change my mind.

That’s just fast fire, we can do fast fire!

If your employer doesn’t respect you, it’s not a “good” job, even if it’s a well-paying job.

Man, I hoped there would be a one-click update from somewhere that would make it stable. I’ll put in the elbow grease to get it up and running one of these days, it was a great game.

Oh, I see, you took my comment as directed at OP. Not so. As mentioned there is a strong current of anti-AI sentiment on Lemmy, and it’s often in the vein of “there’s no soul” etc. I was taking aim at that in the context of OP’s comment (because it raises an excellent point), not OP themselves.

Am I, indeed? In my view, either AI art is nothing like human art in which case it’s easy to distinguish, or it’s similar enough that it’s not easy to distinguish, in which case it’s got to be at least very similar.

There’s no middle ground here, you can’t logically hold the belief they’re obviously fundamentally different but hard to distinguish from one another.

If you disagree with that and want me to agree with you, you’re gonna have to tell me why it’s wrong. Sorry, I don’t just change my mind at “nuh-uh” 🤷

proving something is human created and definitely not AI is hard

Is it? I thought we could just look for the soul and/or intention in the art? Because as everyone on Lemmy knows and is always saying, AI art isn’t art because it lacks both soul and intention. Therefore, it should be easy to tell it apart from real proper human art. Shouldn’t it?

Thanks! It was my first “dream” PC build (I got a 9800 X3D in there too), so this follows a period of great anxiety about making such a huge purchase with all the techtubers saying “do not buy!” even back then. The relief I’m feeling at having made a defensible decision is honestly palpable 😅
