  Pierbattista Pizzaballa (born 21 April 1965). Yes that is a real cardinal, and that is his name

  Dude is meant for the job. Based as hell, needs a name change, his birthday is the day the last pope died

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk: your new Tesla will drive from the factory floor, to your house 'this year'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you replied to the wrong comment, but I agree

  Granted, if they could actually make this work, they could probably do the robotaxi thing or even get into logistics. That would make it easily worth it to build dispatch centers basically everywhere

  That is, if they could make it work

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk: your new Tesla will drive from the factory floor, to your house 'this year'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, there’s not that many. There’s large swaths of the US where you have to drive across multiple states to get to one, in part for legal restrictions on dealerships

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do I avoid becoming conformist, lazy and completely incapable of learning something new?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s really easy. Never let go of the joy of learning, and take pride in admitting your mistakes.

  It’s that simple. When you’re told there’s another way, your first reaction should be curiosity

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If deaf people think by visualizing sign language words, then how do deaf people with aphantasia think?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think in thoughts. It boggled my mind to learn this isn’t how everyone thinks

  Like, I don’t have a running narrative in my head - words bubble up, but it’s just like muttering, just occasional words. I only try to put them into sentences when I’m talking or imagining talking - like everything I write.

  I don’t read like this, which is part of why I’ll terrible with names - if I read a book, I don’t know how to say or spell a character’s name until I try

  If I had to describe it, it’s like memories. If you think elephant, you might see an elephant, you might hear the word elephant - but on some level you also probably think about things related to the concept. Like memories of seeing an elephant, elephant facts, other African animals

  That bundled concept is elephant to me - the word is how you say it, I can get the impression of looking at an elephant, I can hear their cry - but at the center of this web of details is an elephant

  I build my thoughts by chaining these concepts together, and where they fit together is the main thread of the train of thought - I can then move my focus across this thread and the hanging threads to solve problems

  Things just click together or they don’t

  If you tell me you feel like an elephant (and I have no idea what that could mean) I’d take the two concepts and try to draw threads between them. I cycle through concepts that feel in between them - elephant in the room, large/imposing, unforgiving, powerful - these loosely fit from elephant to your mental state. And from the other side, ugly, isolated/seen as an outsider/problem, or maybe you mean you literally feel like an elephant in a human body

  Threads link between them or they don’t, maybe I’m missing an intermediate concept I haven’t yet associated with either and I have no idea what you mean

  And that’s how I think. If I had to link it to a sense, it’s like proprioception - I’m moving through my thoughts and linking together connections, but it’s my my own mind I’m moving through and around me

  But ultimately, it’s not words - there are concepts I don’t know how to label, although words help me identify concepts

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans Are Preparing for When All Hell Breaks Loose⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really… You can get a cheap pistol or a shotgun for $200-$300, solid reliable handguns start at ~$450 and you can get a military grade rifle for $800

  It’s not nothing, but it’s the same price range as most phones - if you want the fancy one with brand recognition you’ll pay twice as much, but you can get quality pretty cheap if you do your research

  You’re also missing a big piece… You can’t fucking trust the reviews any more. Steam reviews are great, and game reviewers have been trying to insist “no, this trash game is actually great, don’t trust your fellow gamers” for years now

  At this point, it’s blatantly obvious you can pay for good critic reviews, and there’s no walking that back… Especially since there’s better, more honest, options

  I mean… Be the change you want to see in the world

  Pastel goth never really got time in the sun, and the my little pony rainbow style look (I forget the name) did, so I feel like it could very well catch on. Especially as a counter culture response to the coming years… Especially since I think people are going to learn to make their own clothes and not have to deal with hot topic garbage

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just No⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well…I mean … That’s fair.

  If you woke me up a year ago to ask my opinion on the last three months, you’d have to spend an hour filling me in on details and then give me a few minutes to myself before I finally asked you to repeat what you wanted to ask me

  You can definitely do it with prompt breaking - it could be as simple as phrasing the conversation at a hypothetical or as nuanced as convincing the llm you’re an AI expert testing the capabilities of the AI to reason using new information

  But in all fairness, this timeline is beyond absurdity, the AIs reaction seems reasonable

  Is “quiet quitting” now malicious compliance? Because it sure sounds like this dude did his job properly… One of the most important bits being he didn’t antagonize the judge for no reason

  My top pick right now is fedora silverblue, I’m running it on my test bed/server and I’ve been impressed

  I’m running bazzite on my main one, which is related but geared towards steam and maximizing game support, it’s pretty good and closer to “just works” for any kind of gaming device, it’s less polished but it’s still pretty good

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just No⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It will if you define it properly - you have to scope the interaction properly though - the models are fine tuned to be the expert in the interaction and assist the user, they won’t take the users word as truth unless you break the dynamic or present part of the input as if it came from someone else

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have an announcement.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  History doesn’t repeat, it rhymes. Global production has never been this specialized and interdependent

  What does a company town look like with electronic access control and monitoring systems? What does a victory garden look like when the soil is polluted? What do you dress children in when plastic is the only common packaging?

  This is unprecedented… No one knows how it’ll shake out. But historically, things got very bad

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam runs natively and uses proton for game compatibility, similar idea to wine but it’s geared for games

  It’s pretty good. Most games will run, sometimes with a little jiggling to get it to work, although performance isn’t quite as good (some games are particularly rough)

  I’m technically dual booting, but I haven’t launched Windows in almost a year, and there’s only been a handful of games I passed on primarily because of support

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 mouse mode (such potential)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean…gyro support is such a niche thing. The PS3 controller introduced gyro support - what used it? There’s examples, but not many, because most games are made to be multi platform, and programming in gyro controls is a lot harder than most other controls

  Nintendo is an exception because they have a lot of exclusives - gyro support is a lot more appealing to implement if all of the devices have it, plus they probably encouraged it

  I wouldn’t worry about it too much, the incentive for exclusives to have it remains, this is a tool for porting to the switch and exploring new control schemes more than anything else
