It caught me out once - I said "oh it's probably AI" because of it, and got a reply saying that it was someone who wrote using them long before LLM nonsense. :) I've now gone with "oh it's ai, unless it's that nice Lemmy user" as my rule of thumb.

Thank you, I forgot the name and was half asleep lol! :)

    Thank you, that's really interesting to know.

    I was questioning my sanity as besides the fun hyphen I thought human 100%, so its lovely to have my slop/human radar calibrated every now and then! :) Hope you have a lovely day!

    Slight tangent, but I see the "GPT hyphen" that is used in academic papers etc, and was wondering if your comment was generated or "human"? I hope that's okay to ask, I was hoping to learn a bit about picking up on "real" vs generated text. :)

    Pure curiosity on my part, but given the discussion, I thought it interesting to ask if my detection of AI text needs updating! :)

    You'd be amazed at what you can make! :) I am not formally trained, and picked up a tonne from doing (and youtube) - smarts be darned, I have fun! :) If there's a game you'd like to make or look into how it's put together, I find it to be a fun hobby definitely.

    it's a very cheap hobby, as the big three (Godot, Unity, and Unreal) all are free to use (the latter two have commercial costs, but godot is open-source), so I love it for that too! :) There's no equipment needed either, I even have godot installed on my phone because I can! :)

    I'm a unity dev, so that's my wheelhouse. Unity offer handy lessons to help you pick up how things work, but both godot and unity are okay once you overcome "whoah lots of things! send help!". I've not used unreal, but I gather the building-block scripting "blueprints" is easy enough. :)

    Whatever you choose to get up to, hope you have fun!

    Hi Boost folks,

    I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing crashes when saving images?

    I keep going to share funny pictures, and when I share, Boost/Lemmy tries to send an "image proxy", so I hit download (my usual workaround), but as of today Boost crashes. This seems to be the case for any image post.

    Is this a thing for anyone else? :)

    Edit: no more crashes after clearing Boost's cache, but still curious about sharing images not working 100% :)

    Edit 2: clearing cache is needed very regularly to make downloading images work

    late edit: fixed in newest boost! :) thank you! :)

     

    I just saw this community, and wanted to cheer myself up with showing something I made one weekend a year or so ago. :)

    It was meant to be a virtual goldfish bowl/screensaver gimmick to keep me company, but then I added interaction and it made me happy to feel like I was helping them? :)

    Hope this is okay to share as I made this and the site it's embedded on (I didn't make itch.io that would be lots of work lol)

     

    I could spreadsheet or make something but would like to ask, from searching there doesn't seem to be a program that'll let me list things to try and achieve, note them as done, maybe assign a score to each goal?

    After losing a notebook, I thought I'd ask about a new-fangled approach. :) Thank you for reading this and happy new year! :)
