It's a tied between Sims 3 and Sims 4. Prefer personality part of Sims 3 of being able to pick 5 traits instead of just 3 but I find Sims 4 great for customising Sims' appearance and you can even make trans people.

You reminded that I watched video about Grok saying pretty left-wing stuff and being extremely right-wing. I won't be surprised if the reason why Elon made his own poor man's Wikipedia is to use it to train Grok's AI model so his ass doesn't get kicked yet again. 🤣

They told me student interest in college radio has dramatically increased in recent years. Stations that once struggled to fill airtime are now turning people away, shortening shows, alternating time slots, and running training programs just to keep up with the demand from aspiring student DJs.

“I’m 21. I grew up in the age of algorithms. The way music is right now scares me because of the rise of AI. Not even AI made music (I hate it) but even just ‘Daily Mix, 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5.’ It’s not made by someone. It’s made by an algorithm. I wish more of that stuff was person curated.”—Mari McLaughlin, WHRW (Binghamton)

This really spoke to me. I feel like a product with the algorithm suggestion which even on Spotify, it's so hit and miss. It feels like it suggest me to listen to an aleardy popular music or music that's optimise to be used on a TikTok video.

I'm currently inside but I'm somewhat warm. Yesterday, I gone for walk and I can feel the cold air from my hands. Thank god I have a nice coat from a charity shop which putting my hands in my pocket made them warm again

I want to say, your question isn't dumb at all. As someone that used to do it and still have thoughts on occasion, I'm glad to know I'm not alone that does it.

!mentalhealth@lemmy.world is much more active and as long as you marked your post NSFW and added Self-Harm trigger warning on your post title, they will allow it and hopely you will get some help.

I know. It's why I said "Well-known instances" when talking about PeerTube as those instances tend to haves rules against it and take it very seriously.

[–] MonsterTrick@piefed.world 2 points 1 day ago

It means someone replies or quote post has more likes than OP's post.

I disagree about using Odysee, it's has far-right videos on there. Much prefer people to use PeerTube where the well-known instances at least won't allow those sort of video in the first place.

I vaguely remember trying to run Doom and had a laugh the fact that it can even run that game. Love Doom

 

I brought an MP3 Player like an year ago as:

  • to conserve battery life on my phone
  • Google Pixel didn't have MircoSD slot or headphone jack without use of headphone USB-C dongle

So I look around for any good second-hand MP3 players which I did look at the iPods because of DankPod's video which he often mods the iPod. I did tried to mod it but it was annoying to do and I have ended up damaging it which is easy to do when you are trying to mod the iPod to use an SD-Card adapter instead of the hard drive which no longer works. Instead of doing a second try and buying another iPod which can cost around £30-60 depending on the model in question, I just brought a SanDisk's Sansa Clip Zip which has MircoSD slot and also can have Rockbox flashed. I mainly have Rockbox just for the themes and last.fm Scrobble plugin. It's bit clunky the menus but you do get used to it and it has a lot of options in the settings which I recommend reading the manuals on their website about it.

My experience with it is that I used my phone less for listening to music has I have more storage for my .flac music library. It hasn't replaced any of the music streaming services for me as I used two of them for different purposes. For my MP3 Player, it's music I already owned and at least liked the song so I got an album if I have already got it and streaming services to discover music I hadn't listen to or got just yet.

I'm one of those people that love toying around with stuff I hadn't tried and I had heard about PieFed. So I looked at any instance I can create an account and give it a try.

One of the things I love about Fediverse is that there be a new projects which makes me curious to see what it's like using it like PixelFed, Misskey (and the many forks), Lemmy and PixelFed.

If they do, it would be great. I love the customisation of Playnite for game details as well as the plugins.

Yep and also married to a paedophile.

My major issue in general is how much trust people would have for AI and blindnessly follow them without much doubt if whatever they are saying is true. Computers are stupid, they will make mistake which often cause by coders making one in the code.

 

For contexts, I have sensory issues with foods where I find it difficult to encourage myself eating as much of the variety. My diet isn't exactly healthy and it tends to be processed food I eat which is often my 'Safe Food' as it doesn't have a terrible taste and textures for me. Not the best but it's okay-ish where I at least I have ate something rather than have nothing at all.

I want to try break that habit so I can try to be healthier as well as not worried about eating food with other people beside my family. Hoping it means I will reduce spending money on takeaways as it does eats my money as well.

 

I tried to watched the video last night but it was very hard-hitting as someone with depression and who's occasionally suicidal, I had to stop around 10 minutes as it was getting too much that ChatGPT kept encouraging people to be self-destructive.

Threadverse community for GenZ where we talk about our nostalgia and anything related to our generation. It's an alternative to r/GenZ which:

  1. It's on Reddit
  2. The subreddit in question is badly moderated and full of bigots and assholes

So instead of me trying to tolerate it, I will try "be the change that I want to see" and try run the community that's both friendly and also is on a decentralised network to avoid any Enshittification.

I have only just made the community today and these are the rules. Any feedback is welcome as long as it is constructive.

Anything that says a specific generation is better or bad is not welcome. It's a weird thing to be elitist about anyway.

4. No schadenfreude

Schadenfreude means taking happiness from the misfortune of people. People who are bigots or a total asshole also counts.
