I work in I.T. and am interested in every sub-field. I also study English, Spanish, German, French, Koine Greek, Latin, Mandarin & Swahili. I'm interested in human culture.

I like Linux, but mainly use Windows because of work.

Most air forces are radical. Go watch a video of any jet going at Mach speeds and tell me it isn't rad.

That's true. Flying at cruise altitude is pretty boring if you aren't the pilot.

I'll bet one of the exceptions is having a bunch of money.

Exactly! They know their book says "love your neighbor" and care for the widow, the orphan & the stranger, but they don't even vaguely do anything like that.

I'm copying my comment from an earlier thread on the same subject.

Tl:Dr If you want to be less hated, make a good product.

I was asked to set up an HP printer earlier this week. It was connected by a USB cable. It stopped printing after a few pages.

HP wants the end user to download their app to use the printer. The printer also has to be set up using an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection. I'd already tried to connect it to Wi-Fi using the button on the printer, but it just said "Er" & blinked some other lights. The HP website specifically says that the printer cannot be used with just a USB cable.

I was confident I could have got it to connect to Wi-Fi and downloaded the app, but it was too much of a problem just to be able to print.

I had a Brother printer moved into its place. There haven't been any other printing issues.

American here. Is a bicycle anything like a motorcycle?

This isn't even A.I., no matter what they call it. It's OCR and an SQLite database. Honestly, they could have done it 25 years ago .

I'd rather the healthcare personally.

What languages nobody has ever heard of? Spanish? Mandarin? German?

I believe you're referring to Rai stones:

Dear @FierroGamer, I must inform you that your message is in English. This means you can type English, although I don't know if you can speak the language or not.

They used to think it was possible with left-handedness.

It's also an example of calculus because the amount of dust approaches zero, but is never quite zero

A reverse image search says it's Australian senator Cory Bernardi.

Traveling within 10 feet of another vehicle where the speeds are measured as a percentage of the speed of sound (Mach) is definitely flying like a moron.

The board has already replaced the health insurance risk manager with AI. Don't worry! Now, a neural net is guessing based off of how much money the CEO wants to make next quarter.

Toldeo, Spain is actually in approximately the correct place.

That would be nice, but I, and many people, live too far from work to be able to bike and there is no public transportation in most of North America.

If lemmy.world is being Ddosed it's not obvious. The site loads quickly for me lemmy.ml isn't loading. The rest of the comment do make a good point that being on multiple instances helps spread the load and makes Lemmy as a whole hard to affect. And having alternate accounts is definitely a good idea

Well, you need a router or access points instead of a cable box. And you can stream it over Wi-Fi. Yeah, you can stream it over Wi-Fi. That's why this is vaguely better than regular cable TV.

Lol! Good answer.

Reboot and see if it still happens. If it does, is it always the same characters that are missing?

A quick search for "Linux missing characters" says it could be the font that you're using.

I heard NPR say that she's brought in roughly $300 million to the NFL because so many more women are now watching

Several soldiers on foot would be a LOT better for the hospital than a missile if that is really all they are looking for, although that doesn't seem to fit with what they've done so far

And Steve Scalice's shooting?

Hello, world. Come in from the cold. This will be a good place. For awhile. And then we’ll make another one.

I hope you're right. I'm betting on the Fediverse, and the fact that it is not corporate owned and can be forked anytime it needs it. I'm hoping that really all it needs to run is servers, moderators and administrators willing to moderate and administer. I'm hoping that the lack of corporate involvement allows it to continue and be a place where we can actually build communities.

Increasing the CPU optimization by 0.02% does seem crazy to me. If you're going to spend time working on something, make it worthwhile. Also, isn't while(true) {print(money)} Microsoft, Apple and Amazon:s business model?

Some evangelical sects believe that one of the apostles was transported to heaven without dying, so they believe that that generation has technically not passed away.

Stopping people from using air conditioners should increase how much water they drink, although possible not increase any break time, since they'll sweat a lot of the water out. Turning off air conditioners could be really beneficial to the soft drink, and by extension, healthcare industries.

As an aside, we need to do away with the idea that corporations are people. We need to remember that they are run by people but are not people themselves.

As a man currently wearing pants, like #2. Pants do not have 4 legs. The clothing item represented by #1 is not pants. If it had a back, or might be a body suit.

There was a whole movie made about Keanu Reeves taking public transportation. It's called Speed.

Seriously, I'll have to look and see when Keanu took public transportation.

True, but governments are generally using laser printers or printing presses.

Ah, OK. Thank you! I hadn't thought of that.

Some religious Jewish people do actually wear parts of their scriptures, at least part of the time.

There's a song called "She thinks my tractor's sexy". Their algorithm must believe you'd be more likely to get a date after buying the tractor.
