Nah, the 25 has a stylus. The 24 didn't. The 26 won't either.

I do Linux research for a living and I barely give a shit.

I used to self host email and got sick of my emails never getting through. Email is federated in theory, but pretty centralized in practice. Paying for Proton was definitely worth it.

It was a good answer anyway

Any way to read the article without the paywall?

Some of these stores are planning to have food trucks and other event stuff during the strike to raise money for SBWU. So if you're near one, check it out!

Knowledge is ordering a martini because you want gin. Wisdom is specifying a "gin martini" to the bartender.

Without the context of the class it's hard to know if "talk about your contributions" is meant as "large parts of America were built on the backs of abused Chinese immigrants," or if it's meant to whitewash the experience. E.g., "the immigrants loved the opportunity to contribute to a free western society!"

:(

they haven't solved it yet

Google hasn't solved it yet either. You've probably all experienced the deluge of AI generated garbage with almost zero pertinent information clogging up search queries. And those aren't even politically motivated. It's getting harder and harder to even find actual information from actual humans.

Thank you both for warning me against doing something like that.

A lot of people here in the US have bought into this as their retirement strategy. The value needs to go up, so they can downsize and ride the leftover cash for the rest of their life. If the number doesn't go up, they can't retire. This forces otherwise normal people to become very, very, invested in ensuring real estate is an asset with value that outpaces what people can afford. It's a ponzi scheme.

Don't forget waking up hungover, checking the time, and seeing you still have 3 hours to go in a loud metal tube.

I have Fedilab, it does not work with lemmy.

They cite grsec, that guy is a notorious troll. I've seen customers apply their patches thoughtlessly, on bad advice, and bring down production systems. Linux security isn't perfect (if it was I would be unemployed) but a lot of those problems are solved on properly configured modern systems.

That's funny, I dislike Ruby for probably the same reasons you like it. I don't want a language that's clever or elegant, I want it to do exactly what I say and nothing else. Lower level just makes more sense to me, I'd be a shit & unproductive software engineer.

Perchance

Because we have surrendered so much control of our lives to these companies we can hardly envision an alternative.

People love to repeat this but it's not as comforting as you think it is.

Yep. I want to federate and block who I want to federate and block. Large instance admins need to make compromises for practical reasons, but I don't. My personal instance has no boards, so I don't have to deal with problematic users from other instances either. If an instance is particularly awful, I can just not visit them until I have time to switch to my admin account and defederate it, there's no urgency.

Plus, I thought it would be easier to get my friends to switch if they had an admin they could literally call if they ran into problems.

The archive link to the AI article is hilarious. It's neither chronological order nor canonical order. It's not even a comprehensive list, a bunch of stuff is missing. It's just bullet points of some star wars media vaguely ordered.

Can't wait for search results to become even more poisoned by this useless garbage!

There's been a few posts on it, including one where the OP intentionally voted the post up with an army of bots to demonstrate the problem.

If you run an instance with closed registration you'll probably receive a bunch of incredibly similar, clearly AI generated, applications from bot accounts. They seem to prefer existing instances over spinning up bot instances, to avoid defederation.

If an artist's vision is sexualized children, maybe that artist needs an eye exam.

While the primary motivation for it is definitely cynical, I am quite enjoying the MMO-lite aspects of the game. Running into strangers in the wild and doing activities together feels better in Diablo than it did in Destiny.

Edit: it would be pretty sick if they had an offline-only "realm." D3 on switch was great for long flights and other places without steady internet. D4 is probably unplayable in air.

The confusing line between ironic shitposting and genuine hatred, suddenly made clear when the community uplifts casual misogyny and transphobia. In theory there's no logical connection between renting out property and bigotry, right? But in practice...

This is really it. I've been working remote since well before 2020. If my office were 12 minutes away by bike I'd be there every day. Having an entirely separate space dedicated for work is great, actually! Especially if your team is all there too.

But when I first went remote it was 90 minutes by car, and half my team were in other countries. Going remote gave me 15 hours per week of my life back. There's nothing you can do to convince me to give that up again.

One character is explicitly underage and sexually assaulted in game. Another is the "she died young and is a ghost so she just LOOKS young but she's actually way older" trope.

The 7.62x51 NATO round used in AR-10/LR-308 pattern rifles isn't the same as the common 7.62x39 used in AK-47 pattern rifles. But I'm sure getting NATO ammo isn't exactly hard for them right now.
