‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Cast Talks About The Big Change For Season 4
  • I'd have loved something like that.

    I'd personally have liked them to have not let that go, and have a whole character arc with Harry struggling with the knowledge that none of them are the same people he knew, though they act identically, differentiating between things he did and the original and so on...

    Resetting back to status quo after events that should have had a lasting impact is one of these things that bothers me in Voyager.

  • ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Cast Talks About The Big Change For Season 4
  • Well, to be fair, their original Harry Kim is dead, making the current one the newest member of the crew until 7 of 9 shows up.

    And for all we know, the ship records may still show him as dead, therefore unpromotable...

  • How Many Star Trek Episodes Pass the Bechdel Test? (TOS to ENT) | The Mary Sue
  • Well, you know, thinking about it, an awful lot of Kes's life revolves around Neelix and the Doctor, with occasional training by Tuvok. I suspect a lot of her dialogue was about one of the three...

  • Generally speaking, the way training works is this:
    You put together a folder of pictures, all the same size. It would've been 1024x1024 in this case. Other models have used 768z768 or 512x512. For every picture, you also have a text file with a description.

    The training software takes a picture, slices it into squares, generates a square the same size of random noise, then trains on how to change that noise into that square. It associates that training with tokens from the description that went with that picture. And it keeps doing this.

    Then later, when someone types a prompt into the software, it tokenizes it, generates more random noise, and uses the denoising methods associated with the tokens you typed in. The pictures in the folder aren't actually kept by it anywhere.

    From the side of the person doing the training, it's just put together the pictures and descriptions, set some settings, and let the training software do its work, though.

    (No money involved in this one. One person trained it and plopped it on a website where people can download loras for free...)

  • Can NSFW images and links *please* be hidden from the sidebar?
  • There have definitely been some issues with posts on other instances that are marked as nfsw on their instance not showing up as nsfw here, too. Though it's been a bit, so I don't know for sure if that's still an issue.

  • Saw this question over in r/Reddit: “If you could get one more season of a TV show, what show would it be?” | What show(s) would you choose?
  • The Owl House. Though, given that it was cancelled and season 3 compressed to three double length episodes, I'd make the extra season a replacement season 3, and rework those episodes into part of the new season. There were definitely montages in those episodes where you could feel them practically saying "and here's several episodes we could have written, if we had time".

    (Not to mention the infamous dialog about "maybe if we had time for 20 more adventures" near the end of season 2...)

  • Tips for a new Linux user
  • If you're installing Arch, one trick the installation wiki article doesn't tell you:
    If you type "archinstall", it has a command line installer there that'll do the install for you, and lets you pick from several desktop environments as well. I've had it crash before more than once, so it's not perfect, but it's less of a pain then doing it all by hand...

  • I just found out that the people onboard the Titan submarine are dead. Is OceanGate in trouble?
  • Well, "our CEO just died on our submarine" would tend to be a problem for a company...

  • So cold
  • But at what cost?

    (Besides, wouldn't building LFS keep the heat going longer?)

  • How important are tags in Kbin?
  • In some cases, literally mastodon content. If you are on mastadon and you put @magazine@instance in your post, it shows up on that magazines microblog, on kbin, at least.

  • What can we do to make kbin/lemmy easier for blind people?
  • I was told accessibility on the registration page was awful by one of my friends on mastodon a few days back.

    What resources, tools (emulators, e.g.) should I know about?
  • Amiga International gave them the rights to sell it, basically. It's on wikipedia and other places, so I'm pretty sure it's legit, though there's something with another company also owning some of the rights... (And an alternative, mostly compatible OS called AROS.)

    They are giving you WinUAE behind a frontend. Most, but not all amiga emulators are in some way descended from UAE, and a lot of people use WinUAE or FS-UAE, which is apparently easier to use. (Or running on a Raspberry PI, you might want something more specialized for that.)

    Don't necessarily know the most about it, though. I watched a few videos, got a copy, had a fun time emulating an Amiga for a bit, then got sidetracked, and didn't quite get back to it...

  • What resources, tools (emulators, e.g.) should I know about?
  • The official one would be:

    Even if you are going to use a different emulator, buying it there gives you legal copies of the Kickstarter roms and such for them...

  • The section that says "Results were weighted for age within gender, region, race/ethnicity, marital status, household size, income,
    employment, education, political party, and political ideology where necessary to align them with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents’ propensity to be online." kinda sticks out to me, too.

  • I think one thing to remember is that it's going to be on the XBox Game Pass when it releases. So if you are subscribed to that, you can download it for free and play it before you decide whether to get it or not.

    Though, given it's supposed to be 125 GB, I'm seriously wondering if I want to dedicate that much storage space on my XBox Series S to it...

  • Can we stop showing NSFW subs on the sidebar?
  • Right. I was on the opposite side on this, as I was giving someone a friendly reminder about marking a post nsfw, but we compared screenshots, and it clearly was marked as NSFW on theirs and not mine, and the same was true for several other posts.

  • Spam and porn are flooding kbin already
  • Yeah, I was comparing notes with someone from another lemmy based server earlier, and was finding the same thing. Some posts that were marked as nfsw came over as such, but quite a number came over as clear.

  • Can we stop showing NSFW subs on the sidebar?
  • Actually, comparing notes a bit, it seems like sometimes posts are marked as nsfw on the server they are from, but show up as sfw on our side. There's definitely some sort of bug going on here.

  • NSFW

  • Yeah. I'm chalking it up to being an early alpha, and hoping it gets fixed soon. It does basically mean I won't be reporting anything as not marked nsfw in the future until it's taken care of, as it might actually be.

  • Did this site live and die in 4 days?
  • Whether the original subreddit is reopened or not, there are going to be plenty of people that don't want to go back to reddit, or never were over at reddit in the first place. It's possible this one will die off, but hopefully it won't and will stay its own thing, regardless of the status of the subreddit....
