I clicked into the post expecting more text and then realized that was the joke.

Congrats OP, I am both upset and entertained!

It’s not wrong at all IMO, and even expected, I’d say. I wouldn’t have cc’ed him on the emails with the hiring manager though since his involvement ends with getting their contact info unless he’s part of HR.

I have had some decent experiences with Copilot and coding in C#. I’ve asked it to help me figure out what was wrong with a LINQ query I was doing with an XDocument and it pointed me in the right direction where I figured it out. It also occasionally has some super useful auto complete blocks of code that actually match the pattern of what I’m doing.

As for art and such, sometimes people just want to see some random bizarre thing realized visually that they don’t have the ability (or time/dedication) to realize themselves and it’s not something serious that they would be commissioning an artist for anyway. I used Bing image creator recently to generate a little character portrait for an online DND game I’m playing in since I couldn’t find quite what I was looking for with an image search (which is what I usually do for those).

I’ve seen managers at my job use it to generate fun, relevant imagery for slideshows that otherwise would’ve been random boring stock images (or just text).

It has actual helpful uses, but every major corporation that has a stake in it just added to or listened to the propaganda really hard, which has caused problems for some people; like the idiot who proudly fired all of his employees because he replaced all their jobs with automation and AI, then started hunting for actual employees to hire again a couple months later because everything was terrible and nothing worked right.

They’re just tools that can potentially aid people, but they’re terrible replacements for actual people. I write automated tests for a living, and companies will always need people for that. If they fired me and the other QAs tomorrow, things would be okay for a short while thanks to the automation we’ve built, but as more and more code changes go into our numerous and labyrinthine systems, more and more bugs would get through without someone to maintain the automation.

You might try SDTV or Fullscreen (plus DVD or VHS since those were the last formats that typically offered that aspect ratio regularly) as tags/search terms. I am otherwise unaware of any specific automated search options for 4:3 content. :/

Obviously it would take some work, but you could set up an automated set of scripts that would crop the videos and spit them out as 4:3.

Is there no option within the vr application itself to auto zoom and crop videos to fit the TV?

Since I see no replies yet, I’ll give a sort of answer. I use Overseerr and my own self hosted domain name with Cloudns so that I can let my friends/family connect to it remotely to request stuff.

It sounds like it’s definitely not 1:1 with what you’re asking for since it only does sonarr and radarr and is not something accessible from messengers, but figured I’d mention it because it’s been great for me. I use it for myself to add new stuff as well so I never have to go into the individual sonarr/radarr instances to add stuff.

Yes, full support from me. Multiple localized tests of UBI have been shown to drastically improved people’s lives. I think there are multiple other measures that would need to be put in place too in order to help minimize corporations just obliterating it’s usefulness by raising prices.

I’m not as informed as I’d like to be, but my understanding is that things like VAT taxes can help get around online retailers like Amazon dodging taxes, as well as CEO to base worker pay ratio caps to ensure the people in a company that are actually producing the profits get rewarded for doing so. The CEOs could keep giving themselves raises, but it would come with the requirement of actually giving everyone in the company a raise too, which, quite frankly, is what should happen when your employees do a good enough job to bring in record profits.

My understanding is that Alaska already has something similar in nature to a UBI where every citizen gets a dividend from the state each year based on taxes collected from certain businesses. This is a dim recollection from me and I am probably completely mistating how it works/where the money comes from.

That Linux command line book is really, really good. I love how it actually explains the commands and why to use them instead of just being a copy of each commands help document or something.

Congrats on ditching Windows!

Unfortunately not in my setup, but that’s just because I don’t have the money to upgrade it at the moment and nearly everything I have is stuff I can easily redownload.

Once I can save up for it I will up my storage and get some back ups set up.

As far as move sets go, you could always base them on things about the animal for animal based mascots. Like an ice slide for Tux, a charge for the GNU mascot, a long distance tongue grab for the KDE mascot, etc.

Also, as far as characters go, you could always include any public domain characters, like Frankenstein’s Monster, Dracula, Steamboat Willie, Winnie the Pooh, etc.

Like others in here, I also set mine up with Debian and docker compose. Since it’s an always on server I wanted maximum stability. I don’t use unRAID, so not sure about compatibility for that.
