They might be a troll but how did you jump to the paid part?

How ignorant and close minded are you to post this...

You disagree with someone over an inherently subjective topic and then harrass them. So the mods ban you. Then you proceed to do the same to the mod by posting this.

No one is allowed to have a different opinion than you?

It is not inhumane if it is limited to defence. When you are deployed halfway across the world to invade a country in the name of democracy or potential nukes, then it is inhumane.

Do you think any "war" Americans have fought in the last 50 years is ethical?

You get new speakers or you start your music library from scratch. Which is the first song/album you play? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

It has a good mix of vocals and instruments. The guitar is a bit overpowering but that could be just my earphones. Lyrics are dark sad, like old Linkin Park. 8/10

The cover art is so cool.

Damn. It must be nice to have nostalgic music to listen to. I don't have (at least that I am aware of) any such music. I usually cry because the symphony of the vocals is good.

This album is good but probably more so for you than me because of the nostalgia.

The problem is not the companies per se. It is the whole system designed by companies and politicians to benefit themselves.

Considering a military person is involved, he has done inhumane things, so he knows.

Is it possible to downgrade to an older version of iOS? (self.ios_community)
 

I want to jailbreak my XR. I am in 18.6, which cannot be jailbroken. I want ti downgrade it to the latest jailbreak compatible version.

Why doesn't Trump destroy or modify the Epstein files? (self.nostupidquestions)
 

He has made a lot of changes in judicial and police posts to people he likes or follow his commands. And he is the fucking president, so what is someone realistically going to do to stop him.

He could modify the files, release them and get a massive popularity boost for being honest.

He could destroy the files and continue saying they never existed. This option seems a little too far fetched but still a possibility considering his overconfidence.

Recently I switched from Apple Music to Spotify free/Navidrome. I am moving my library to Navidrome slowly. I have done a similar thing in the past as well.

I noticed that both times, as well as trying out new speakers, the first song I listened to was In the End by Linkin Park, followed by their latest album.

What is yours?

Edit: Holy Shit! I was not expecting so many replies. It is not possible for me to reply to everyone right away. I will listen to each of your first songs and reply to everyone.

Why is AI so wrong all the time??? (self.fuck_ai)
 

There have been multiple things which have gone wrong with AI for me but these two pushed me over the brink. This is mainly about LLMs but other AI has also not been particularly helpful for me.

Case 1

I was trying to find the music video from where a screenshot was taken.

I provided o4 mini the image and asked it where it is from. It rejected it saying that it does not discuss private details. Fair enough. I told it that it is xyz artist. It then listed three of their popular music videos, neither of which was the correct answer to my question.

Then I started a new chat and described in detail what the screenshot was. It once again regurgitated similar things.

I gave up. I did a simple reverse image search and found the answer in 30 seconds.

Case 2

I wanted a way to create a spreadsheet for tracking investments which had xyz columns.

It did give me the correct columns and rows but the formulae for calculations were off. They were almost correct most of the time but almost correct is useless when working with money.

I gave up. I manually made the spreadsheet with all the required details.

Why are LLMs so wrong most of the time? Aren’t they processing high quality data from multiple sources? I just don’t understand the point of even making these softwares if all they can do is sound smart while being wrong.

I like the smell of dirt from my navel. (self.unpopularconfession)
 

It smells sweaty, musky and earthy. I have, on many occasions, just sat and took it out, smelled it and thrown it away for hours. I am usually watching something on the phone while doing it.

[Help] Looking for an ebook reader with highlight syncing across devices (self.selfhosted)

I am looking for an ebook reader which can highlight text in various colors. Everything should get synced across iOS and desktop. By sync, I mean that highlights I make in a PDF on one device should be treated as an editable highlight on the other device, and not as a permanent part of the PDF. This is to be used for textbooks.

Currenty, I use Apple Books but it is very slow and I cannot sync it outside the Apple environment.

I am okay with free options, self hosted options and one time purchases. I am not so keen on subscriptions but will consider a cheap one.

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I ended up using Okular on Linux and Adobe on iOS. Adobe was the only app which considered highlights as a separate part which is synced and edited independent of the PDF.

TIFU by trusting Apple and losing 2 months’ work (self.tifu)
submitted 2 months ago by Outwit1294 to c/tifu@lemmy.world

I use Apple Books app to read a PDF textbook. I highlighted a lot of stuff on around 500 pages of small font text.

I sync all my progress to iCloud. Yesterday, I turned off Wifi during reading to focus on studying.

Today, I opened the app and clicked on the book but it didn’t open. I tried troubleshooting for the whole afternoon but couldn’t get the file to open. I essentially have to reread 500 pages and highlight everything again.

Always, always back up your work.
