Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/

(Little experiment I did back in 2021) #smash #ssbu #nintendo #fanart #smashbros
What it I fused two different Smash characters into one?
I used a random number generator and the list of fighters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and I got these results:
@rntz I like it! My brother makes music on BeepBox/derivatives. I'll send him this, I think he'll appreciate it :)

If you call your political opponents vermin, you are dehumanizing people who bear the image of God.
If you call your political opponents garbage, you are dehumanizing people who bear the image of God.
To disagree with a position and make an argument is good and wise and helpful. To dehumanize and mock does not follow the way of love.

So, thoughts on the new #NintendoMusic app?
@arraybolt3 I just did this with Mozilla Thunderbird. Funny I see this just now. I typed out something and triggered some unknown actions. I hope something didn't get deleted or something....

After watching a bunch of YouTube vehicle hit-and-run videos, I'm beginning to like the idea of front license plates being mandatory, because of how many times they break off and get left behind 😆
@mike My philosophy is that the user does the thinking and the computer does the computing. The user is the intelligence, and the computer is the calculator.
I personally avoid AI, since if I'm doing what I do correctly it doesn't have much to offer me.
@mike My college upgraded ("upgraded" 🙂) their computers to Windows 11, and I remember seeing some sort of session token or something in the About window for Microsoft Paint, I think for AI....
I don't know what someone's doing with Notepad if it needs AI 😆 that seems more like something you might want with Word.
@mike I don't understand some of the antagonism against AI -- ML-based human language translators are nice for example. Though that's not technically "AI", is it.
Does Firefox's page translation feature use ML? They used the word "model" https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/translate/

@briankrebs This is one of those times I click the favorite button and feel weird because I don't like what was reported but I like the reporting 😆

Lots of Windows users will find themselves in an unsupported state in October 2025. There needs to be a Linux distribution that really helps Windows users switch.
It needs to discover the username of the primary user from the registry or file system. It needs to install on ntfs (or alongside it). It needs to discover the profiles and bookmarks and cookies and stored passwords of local browsers. It needs to port over the Steam library. It needs to discover the SSIDs for local networks and join them automatically. It needs to discern what the user believes he already needs from his existing Windows install and insert free equivalents.
The current advice of "erase everything and start over" is impractical for the majority of computer users, especially those who don't have a second computer.
The delta is too big for normal folk, not because Linux is hard to use but because computers are hard to use.
I'm picturing something that generates a KDE Plasma panel that imitates the Windows Taskbar, down to where the various pinned items were. Or the Cinnamon equivalent I guess. Most people don't care what OS they run; they just want as little to change as possible.

@Shanoa I keep on hearing about it. I have to give it a try. What are your favorite things about Rivals, over Smash?
