Across two medium!

Ironically I was going to buy a PlayStation for GTA 6. Now with digital only on both… Literally why would I? I’ll wait a year and buy the “rental” for my PC.

We bought the hype machine and got giant boners for ruining our employees lives by suddenly laying them off, but now we’re starting to see maybe that wasn’t as super smart as we told ourselves it was.

I will not rent anything from them.

I will however gladly buy surplus gear second-hand! Comeooooon used gpus

Its like they saw how much Xbox has been sucking and thought “hold on, instead of building on this market lead, I bet we could beat Xbox in enshittifying!”

It looks great, I will!

Bravo, I’m one of the few people who probably got that reference. Well done.

Happy cake day! Yes San boat. Element was the closest thing I found to discord, but gifs were annoying. Getting this added to apps is the hardest thing, but it’s mostly that how to I say “add this integration please” when it’s only my one server

Thanks! Design was mostly the original creators though.

It is mirrored on my private Forgejo instance, github was the original choice if the first eng, I will think about migrating

Heads up that there is a self-hosted gif platform I’ve been tinkering on, original repo is here but it was more or less abandonded. I’ve been adding to it slowly here: Gifable.

The base repo was good, a selfhosted Gif hosting, but I needed more integrations so I’ve been managing my own fork for about a year. The largest one is a way that Matrix servers can integrate, so it now actually stands up a matrix server and can federate your gifs with other matrix users. The second item is adding Giphy support (I had Tenor as well… but guess I’ll remove that), so you can alternatively search Giphy.

I won’t say it’s polished, but if Tenor is leaving a sour note in your mouth, having someone else hosting would probably be neat.

I’ll have to play around with mine then, because I’ve had not great luck with it, or at least very disappointing. The CPU offloading is fairly slow, but maybe I should try tweaking more

I didn’t think of it that way… but yeah that makes sense. They obviously think this is the top of the market and it can only go down. Why else would you force major brands to lock in here?

I can confirm, found an old disk from ~15 years ago, was excited to see what was on it. In a jewel case and everything, but completely unreadable :(

and while we had constant outrage from Recall, I assume we’ll hear nothing about this from people

That’s where I am okay with hardware, but can’t seem to fit the models on my 3090. I have dreams of something like an A100 someday, but not until there’s a ton of used ones that hit the market. What do you use for your hardware?

I knew Topaz was getting shitty when they stopped developing their Linux version of their software, this just confirms it. Too bad, it was a decent product.

Yeah it’s heresy on Lemmy, but I do find it genuinely useful. My only regret is that I have to use Claude/Anthropic more than I’d like, which is why I have a vested interest in selfhosting myself. I’d rather figure out how to run the larger models myself and cut them off completely, but you even begin to mention that here and you’ll get downvoted to hell.

There’s a whole segment who are going unserved because of those high prices. Gamers across the board and enthusiasts, the entire consumer market, because RAM is too expensive. Someone else figures out how to make RAM at scale and undercut the fake inflation of the cartel could make billions easily. That’s money sitting on the table.

That’s what I’m guessing. The consumer market is a multi-billion dollar industry. If Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynex are too big for it now, that’s them leaving money on the table for others. Smaller companies will kick up, like those in China, and they’ll gladly take the money left for them. It’ll just take a while for them to get there.

I like the AI tag idea. I’m someone who has what I’d call a noderate approach to AI, not an AI bro but any means but I’m also okay with some things built with AI if they’re done with care. If others don’t want to see it, fine, then that’s what a tag could be useful with. However the fuck AI/slop comments on something that admits to being AI is annoying to me. (We know it’s AI, they literally said it is).

If it becomes too much content, then yes would be okay with bi-forcating the community, buy only after it becomes a problem.
