I forget that there are people that see software and think "politics, the most important pillar of software" and then wonder why everybody but the clique hates them

I think I'm slowly getting the hand of SDL. Going back and forth between C and C++ style syntax is something I need to get used to, but my experience has been mostly pleasant so far.
Note: this is not a game I plan on releasing. This is just me messing with spritesheets.

THE DECLARE WAR LIE
They want you to believe the president can unilaterally take the U.S to war – just as long as they don’t call it a war.
But that’s not what the Constitution says, that’s not how the Founders understood it or followed it in practice.👇

Wide Awake Media
🚨"Starting December 27, Australians will now need to upload their ID every time they're logged in to do an internet search."
"It's been put in place to stop kids engaging with adult content, but it actually affects all of us."
"It'll link to your digital ID, or you'll use something like facial recognition."
Newsflash: This isn't really to protect children, but extreme totalitarian incursions on freedom and privacy always require a benign and innocent sounding pretext to dupe the gullible into accepting them without resistance.

@ergo @bajax @noyoushutthefuckupdad Some of them do have those things. I have one that even has FM radio and it's still marketed as a voice recorder.
@noyoushutthefuckupdad @ergo @bajax If you only care about playing music, just get a digital voice recorder. They are basically the same thing as you can load MP3 files onto them and they even have playlist functionality, plus they are much more durable from my experience.

A new model of mp3 player that's Rockbox compatible? And it has real buttons, no shitty touchscreen? And it has a headphone jack, no bluetooth required? And it's under 100 bucks? I might get one of these and finally replace my multiple Sansa Clip Zips.

@djsumdog @theorytoe @sand @mikuchan I think the future is going to be AI filters (like the Studio Ghibli one) rather than text-to-image or text-to-video. Like I could see something like a program that converts concept art into spritesheets for a video game. It would probably work better because they would still require a significant degree of human input instead of just interpreting a text prompt.
@GD5426 Do they still make them? Where are they sold?

The current machines can never be AGI. They're just weighted random next token generators. They have no ability to goalset, and I doubt anyone would be able to construct such a system with current LLMs.
They're also wrong a lot, at least with coding. Or even when they're "right," I'm still going to go back and refactor it so it's maintainable and remove half the garbage it adds.
There's also nothing left to train with, since everything new is slop. I think the plateau was reached a few months back and we're just going to get diminishing returns.
The chatbots will continue to be used, but more as an oracle control mechanism for people who refuse to think.

Does anyone with experience with Mini PCs have any recommendations?

I don't need much and would like to be less dependent on laptops as I feel like my heavy usage wears them down.
