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 have heard some wacky migraine treatment techniques, and thought if anyone is on here, it could be a potentially interesting light-hearted thing to discuss.

    Reddit swore by McDonald's fries (salt intake?), but what prompted me to think to post this was my new DIY "heat treatment" for retinal migraines.

    I like warm or cold things on the pain, and cooling strips etc are sold as migaine treatments. So one day I figured blasting my eye pain with a hair-dryer was worth a punt because why not?

    Instantly pain free! I swear by it, it is temporary relief like I have never had before! The internet says heat possibly tricks pain receptors, I say dumb method works! I thought this was funny enough to share.

    With this tale out the way, what are Lemmy's wacky migraine superstitions or unorthodox migraine strategies?

    Edit: blasting one's face with a hair dryer is not medical advice! I am just a moron on the internet, and this is purely anecdotal
