Since I last posted one of my predictions came true

Machine Learning has become increasingly useful and capable for coding.
Soon people will be ably to easily make their own personal version of a game just by telling the SDK an overview of the idea they have.

Websim.ai is incredible, and I am addicted !
Just tell it what sort of site or web tool you want and a few seconds later you have what you want running in a page.
Obviously it suffers with the usual limitation of needing a well crafted prompt, however as you can just keep iterating and suggesting changes almost anyone can make a functional useful or fun site.

I have made some handy tools that didn't exist and a few fun things to play with.
Mostly this week I have been making a series of "choose your own adventure" games based on various universes with plenty of lore, such as Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, Disc World, Red Dwarf, Judge Dredd, Blade Runner, Vurt, SCP Foundation.

I made a story blender tool that will take 2 stories and create a whole new one.
Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles mixed with The Island of Dr. Moreau worked very well, but currently I'm reading a blend of Hitchhikers Guide and Red Dwarf.
I even mixed 12 Monkeys with Jacobs Ladder (I wondered if the AI would break).

It is also very useful for creating a critical scientific paper and analysis based on your personal "theory of everything", so you can quickly find out why you are wrong, or hopefully onto something (I am impressed with the critical paper on my theory that "it is doughnuts all the way down").
I seem to be on the mark with that.

Someone generated a handy page containing a chatbot powered creation tool with AI agents that bounce ideas back and forth while building and testing updates (truly fascinating to watch), then someone added more functionality for managing projects.
The way you can just add onto someone else's project makes for infinite remix potential.

You had me at secunia PSI !
If this scans for DLLs and random exe files in your system, unlike all the others which only seem to check things that used an installer, I am sold.

@DoctorG said in Images are saved as .webp instead of original format (JPG, JPEG, PNG, etc.):

Sorry to say, but users working with graphics should have learned over the years and decades how to workaround image format issues

My only pushback is that I've never encountered this before, every other browser I've used will attempt to save the image in the format it is in on the page by default, but Vivaldi seems to default to .webp when using save as regardless of image format. Granted I can change the ext to .jpg, .png etc and it saves in my desired format, but it is an annoyance.

I would argue that it's not productive to blanket statement say "you should have learned how to workaround image format issues". I personally would take the time to link to a solution to a problem if I was going to come in and dismiss the concerns that someone has.

I do see that this is an existing "issue" with chromium as a whole though, Reddit
""Google launched the WebP format as part of its mission to make loading times faster across the internet. WebP allows websites to display high-quality images — but with much smaller file sizes than traditional formats such as PNG and JPEG.

You can choose to save WebP files with either lossless or lossy compression. This means you can either compress images without losing data or with losing only some non-essential information. Google’s developers have suggested that lossless WebP images can be up to 26% smaller than PNGs." from reddit as well"

The only other solution I've found so far is to change the url to remove the webp conversion, which is not ideal if I don't want to install an extension to make my browser not change the URL for no reason.

I can admit some part of me is probably just being stubborn and not wanting to change away from using jpg, as webp is lossless, and supports transparency & animation, while also being a smaller file on server load. So theres no logical reason to not use it. I guess I just typed this all up to say that Maybe .Webp isn't as bad as it seems, and software needs to get with it more than browsers need to stay in the past.

Sorry for writing a short novel as a reply a year later. 🙂

@DoctorG Yes, I edited it again because my first hint was correct 🙂 Typing directly the protocol vivaldi:// it wouldn't work.

@nomadic said in Any TV and Movie Tracking Website/Software Suggestions?:

Have you been enjoying Tv Show & Movie Tracker?

For sure. I tried like 2 or 3 clients, even the official one, but I feel more comfortable with TV Show n Movie Tracker.

I'm not a smartphone hard-user, but the times I used the app does its job, I haven't problems with it today.

@Gif2D

I've used that time ago, just for checking.
Helps on triming IIRC.
Would work too.

@barbudo2005 , your post only confirms, that you can make a copy of the page

@cloudbar Another quick update.

Version 24.06 Released 26th May 2024
