"On Sept. 29, Dianne Feinstein, 90, died of natural causes. She had cast a vote in the Senate less than a day prior."

Banger first two sentences. As an observer not from the US, this feels like Emperors New Clothes to me. But instead of a naked emperor, you have paraded a corpse through the senate and acted as if she was a fighter like Xena, Warrior Princess or something.

How very cyberpunk, except for the fact that permission was given.

Just block it. Wait, no, that "feature" makes no sense.

Non-shitpost: I know everyone is annoyed by now, but Ex-Twitter is a huge website and relevant?

Didnt the American People give themselves a constitution and laws already for this reason?

Every reasonable person must admit that. Just like every reasonable person must codemn Hamas terrorism. But people like picking teams, and appearently that makes doing both very hard.

Worthwile reading into: Hachette v. Internet Archive.

In short: Even lending only the amount of real copies that you own as digital copies (you own 1 real book, you get to lend 1 digital copy. Not more!) is too much for some greedy bastards and a compromise.

I seen a couple of these typical youtube commenters. "Left-leaning university", shut the fuck up jeez. They are either completely lost here, or intentionally trolling, or pursuing their victim complex by venturing into enemy territory.

Who decides what “AI” is

Appearently you.

X is dead. Just accept it and move on. It will be even more dead once generative AI takes over everything. If it has not already.

I was thinking about buying a Macbook Air and run Linux on it, just for the battery life. But then I read this shit and yea...

That title is not even Pratchett anymore, that's straight Adams.

I see a lot of the recycled memes

I think the % of OPs that are just straight up reposting bots has increased considerably. Front page is even more unusable than during TheDonald times...

Its just low quality trash.

Gesundheit?

Anyways, who has time and energy to read such a dumb, way too long post?

True, but I am also tired of explanations for Hamas terrorism becoming its justification. Not by you, obviously, but look around. This is what I meant: We can acknowledge that Israel is an apartheit state and has become fascist and did horrible things to palestinians over the last decades. We do not have to wonder that there are terrorists. At the same time, that does not mean that Israelis "deserve" it or that terrorism is inevitable like a force of nature.

Explanation =/= justification. But exactly this is getting abused by antisemites.

I have read some horrible comments over the last couple of days. From accusing me of "hurr durr both sides" to "there is no such thing as an innocent Israeli" (thanks hasanabi twitch chatter, not banned for this) while hundreds were slaughtered at a festival.

It is how he does it, not that he does it.

Imagine getting something like NWN had.

It isnt even my problem and I still despair reading this.

True, true. I dont know about you guys, but I am not having a lot of fun buying and building computers lately. Shit like this headline doesnt help.

I am not allowed to say hateful things here I think, but man I really hope McConnell lives a long life. He seems to be in perfect health and enjoys living by the looks of it, and I want that joy to continue for him as long as possible :) :) :)

Something something dogfooding

spineless

So this is why he is not afraid of "Hang Mike Pence!" chants.

Infinite scrolling is a big one. I need to get out. Help.

There are multiple reasons why the "Mod on the internet" memes exist. We are seeing one.

We have no way to determine if you did the work, or if an AI did, and if called into a court to certify your expertise we could not do so beyond a reasonable doubt.

Could you ever though, when giving them work they had to do not in your physical presence? People had their friends, parents or ghostwriters do the work for them all the time. You should know that.

This is not an AI problem, AI "just" made it far more widespread and easier to access.

Holy fucking shit these comments. First the "Is BG3 a good game?" question after so many reviews are out, then "cranial leakage".

What is wrong with you people. I stopped trying to please lost causes like you guys a long time ago. What a miserable attitude.

If we were playing "Who wants to be a millionaire?" Id choose this answer.

How did you do Caddy on TrueNAS Scale? Docker-compose also? Im currently hosting a lot of stuff you are, but all with truecharts apps via docker. Ultimately used traefik this time, but I like the simplicity of the caddyfile a lot.

When I read through your post, it feels like you are me in 5 years if everything goes well.

-> Plex (Looking to replace with something less… commercialized)

Give Jellyfin a go!

Used only papers in german so far, sadly.

Here is something I found interesting in english:

Testing the test: Are exams measuring understanding? Brian K. Sato, Cynthia F. C. Hill, S. Lo Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education

in general: elicit.org

really good site.

In my experience, the best means of preparing for exams, as is universally advised, is to take previous or practice exams … which I think tells you pretty clearly what kind of task an exam actually is … a practiced routine in something that narrowly ranges between regurgitation and pretty short-form, practiced and shallow problem solving.

You are getting some flak, but imho you are right. The only thing an exam really tests is how well you do in exams. Of course, educators dont want to hear that. But if you take a deep dive into (scientific) literature on the topic, the question "What are we actually measuring here?" is raised rightfully so.

Have found it relatively early after it was created, using it for getting a quick overview over papers when writing my own. It is sooo good for that.

Been like that forever. Maybe we just had a brief intermission. :/

I think I really found my people on Lemmy.

I use FF because it's good.

I see, thanks! Wanted to get my stuff up and running as quick as possible, but Ill be looking into doing things this way next.
