Quote from the article:

With the mass adoption of ChatGPT, MidJourney, and soon Soma, OpenAI’s video-generating application

Mis-typed Sora, or is that a cheeky reference to A Brave New World?

Looks like it's time to ditch PieFed. The past week has uncovered some other pretty shitty inconsistencies and incompatibilities with Lemmy instances that are beginning to make it impossible to use.

Just for your future reference I guess, might help to post a comment or put the link the description for other fediverse platforms that are clearly lagging behind.

Must be something wrong with Piefed then, because there is no link whatsoever in the post as I am looking at it right now, other than the image's link. The title isn't a link, either, just text.

~~Maybe post a source, since you quoted something from somewhere...~~
It's not that they didn't post a source, it's that not all fediverse platforms are compatible with the Reddit-way of posting.

For those that don't have a link in the description or title, a source:

Actual: https://openai.com/index/disney-sora-agreement/

In the very quote you pasted:

Newer versions of Mickey Mouse remain copyright-protected.

It's only the version that was in those original cartoons that is public domain.

Guarantee you that actual Americans (i.e., the ones whose ancestors were here long before this shithole country) did not vote for this. It's the old white immigrants that voted for this.

I take your point, but I disagree with just letting it run rampant and moving on. Like the OP mentioned in their reply to you, we should hold them accountable instead of greasing the machine just because the name fits their actions better.

If the US populace wasn't so fucked, mentally, we would be dissolving the DoD into DoHS instead of tearing apart the DoE, but here we are.

Come on, 404... don't tickle their pickle with this "secretary of war" bullshit.

It wasn't at all clear that you had a 2nd monitor connected, that is also useful information. Still, not enough data to really know.

Are both monitors the same make and model? If not, then it seems likely there's an issue with your GPU or HDMI cable, but the symptoms are different because the monitors are manufactured by different companies. If the monitors are identical to each other, then we're back to most likely being an issue with the 1st monitor.

This is the problem with assuming, there's nothing in their notes about having a second monitor connected at the same time as the one that is tearing. This possibility didn't even occur to me, but it's plausible.

edit: literally a minute after I reply, OP confirms you are correct in your assumption.

[–] phaedrus@piefed.world 1 points 4 days ago (4 children)

although another monitor flicker when the monitor tears.

I assume that you mean "the 2nd monitor flickers under the same conditions that the 1st monitor tears", or are you saying that you have tried 3 separate monitors, all with different behavior?

Take your time and walk through all the steps that folks have laid out for you in these comments, and try to answer each question we're asking. There just isn't enough detail for us to give solid answers or further suggestions.
