3·4 days agoBut there are distant trees on the horizon, so if this was, say, maybe a mile away to appear relatively small, those world have to be many more. That works only work on a flat earth.
Also, the moon and sun appear flattened when near the horizon due to atmospheric distortion.

I don’t think that originality has gone. Maybe it’s just easier to churn out shovelware, but there are still new ideas appearing.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•My phone, iPad, and laptop finally all use the same USB-C charger. The galaxy is at peace.
2·10 days agoIt has a GPU, but it’s helpful to know that I can look out for adaptors, thanks.
I like to be able to have a charger set up in more than one room than can be shared instead of moving chargers around all the time.

2·17 days agoI’ve run koboldcpp on a steam deck. You have to stick to small model files, of course, like maybe 4Gb, but you can get decent speed if you do.
And Edge Gallery on Android can run models locally on a phone.

3·19 days agoI use Obsidian as a OneNote replacement because it’s built around markdown, which is just a a text file that includes structure and formatting.
