Shit!

How do I cancel a print job.

Card#1, Card#1 back, Card#2, Card#2 back, etc is what you need to get 9GB out of the 1,454,492 card numbers indicated. :)

They can contain binary data, but less of it. Not sure of the details, but you get 3k bytes if binary data or 4.2k alphanumeric letters. So no big difference all in all, which is a bit silly.

Also, many QR scanners can't handle binary data and freak out on null values or newlines.

We must consider the practical side of installing Windows 11 from a semitrailer load of cardboard.

Using 1,454,942 maximum size and minimum error correction QR codes in alphanumeric mode (byte mode is a lie) to store Base64-encoded binary data, you get roughly 4,687,823,124 bytes. 4.6 GB. If the cards are two-sided we get 9.2 GB.

Minimum size of Windows 11 installer image seems to be 8 GB, so it checks out!

Women are not being able to reach out to you on Friday

While tools exist, like people already commented, remember that the result may not be what you expect.

A recreation whether by AI or a skilled voice actor will have slightly different intonations, emphasis, tempo variations, pauses and lack of pauses that are not your granfather's. It is very likely to feel flat and wrong in an unpleasant way.

Also in article, Elon Musk shits himself loudly again hoping someone will pay attention to him.

It's a shit voting system. But the election is happening. How to effect a mass general strike large enough to change the voting system and introduce a new candidate with a chance of winning within two months?

Because that is needed in order to safely tell people not to vote.

In real, actionable, practical terms: What is the alternative you propose people choose, that will reduce the likelyhood of a fascist government right now at this election?

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That is a valid question in isolation, but bringing it up in discussions on where to vote is not leading to discussions or actionable improvements. It only functions to push voter disenfrachisement.

Not saying it's your intention, but it is your effect.

Voting least bad is important. Don't discourage it.

Working for better voting options is also important. Do push for that too, but find a constructive setting for it.

This was the last Cold Take that Frost made for The Escapist/Gamur. After being stuck a few weeks due to nobody left at The Escapist knowing how and where to publish already finished videos, they released it and a few others today.

For those who followed the recent Escapist news, this episode appears inadvertently prescient.

Note that he still continues the series on https://www.youtube.com/@SecondWindGroup

 
 

You know roughly where your body is at all times, but where in it is your "self"?

Your center of mass is around the solar plexus, yet that doesn't seem to universally be where people feel the center of their self to be. Most people feel they "are" right behind their eyes, probably in the brain.

Sometimes people have out-of-body experiences, completely changing their anchor for a while.

When pointing at themselves, people tend to point a thumb at their chest or face. Do they feel differently about it, or is it just convenience?

Are you a body with a head full of thinking goop and sensors on top, or are you a head sitting on a body?

And wherever you feel you are, have you felt different at any time? Can you change it?

Personally, I can't separate the feeling of self from my vision, so "I" am directly behind my eyeballs and I can't change it.
