- Comment on 10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips 12 hours ago:
Hmm thanks, also please massively digress if you would like to.
I interpreted it like 10% is a lot if it’s 10% of a million. That 100,000. So if there’s a million things that crash Firefox that’s a high number.
If Firefox only crashes 10 times a year because it runs that well, 10% or that 1 time it crashes from a bitflip is impressive that the rare bitflip takes up such a high percentage of total crashes because Firefox just doesn’t crash very often.
If your dead is justified that won’t be too surprising as a hardware is getting made less reliable these days thing. Enshitification being the norm, and tech being in everything nowadays

… I can’t imagine having a browser with hundreds of open tabs. That would tend me of the old days of Netscape Navigator and all the popups and browser add on cancer.
Ahh the nostalgic days of the early Dotcom era. I sometimes miss you geocities
- Comment on 10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips 13 hours ago:
How so?
Didn’t it just highlight how stable the software is?
I assume bitflipping crashes most softwares. If your software is so stable that hardware errors that effect everyone equally(which may be my erroneous assumption I’ll admit) then it is staying that if Firefox is crashing on you, it might be time to run some diagnosis on your hardware.

- Comment on There's another NSFW instance 1 week ago:
Kindly I disagree. It was very helpful to find stuff that wasn’t what I already knew I wanted especially as I came from Reddit as one of the earlier refugees after the API thing.
Given how small and in development Lemmy has been, it was a good thing to keep showing me that I made a good choice and that this federated thing ISNT Reddit and has its own value to give if I can just get a little bit of help find finding stuff.
Now it’s been sometime but I think on by default is still a good thing. I’m also okay with making it super super easy to turn off and be reminded/prompted to do that as well.
If it’s no longer a needed thing I might be convinced that the on by default state has passed the value I found in it, but I am not ready put the effort into that at this time.

Since when is chipotle ultra processed? Can we be a littler more responsible about how we talk about things so that we don’t make the fight harder since just convincing people that ultra processed food is shitty.
Not if everything is the max then there it’s all just noise that’s gets harder and harder not to just dismiss
It’s just hilarious they don’t understand a bay leaf, but as Randal said that one time, they are one of today’s 10,000
Finding out how things get flavoured is a great learning experience when you are 5 or going on 85
Can we be a little more compassionate and kind to each other, even the people that will never see us or know how we respond. Just makes you a more pleasant and wonderful person
- Comment on How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand? 1 week ago:
West coast Canadian who is proud of Canada’s French history but can’t speak French.
Language needs to be used in daily life for a lot of people.
I’ve met countless immigrants who can’t speak very good English after being here for years because they just don’t speak it at home, only when they need to put in public.
Which is no different than me learning French from grade 6 to 8 and not being able to learn it, though I do understand it more than I expected that one time I was in Quebec City for 2 weeks (absolutely lovely city, and the Thai soup I had from Don Vegan, the cities first vegan only restaurant, was the best Thai soup I’ve ever had. DELICIOUS! But I digress) It’s just a symptom of not needing it in your life because I’m just not around it. I’m not a super outgoing person either and I’ve never been good at getting a conversation going so my own hurdles are certainly part of this, but I’ve worked with a lot of immigrants and I think in spite of my bias, it’s pretty accurate.
America isn’t much different in that regard, unless you are on a southern border there’s significantly less opportunity to have other languages be part of the fabric of the average americans personal lives. Not impossible but just a lot less likely

- Comment on Epstein Files: X Users Are Asking Grok to 'Unblur' Photos of Children 3 weeks ago:
I’m not saying it wasnt trained on csam or defending any AI.
But your point isn’t correct
What prompts you use and how you request changes can get same results. Clever prompts already circumvent many hard wired protections. It’s a game of whackamole and every new iteration of an AI will require different methods needed bypass those protections.
If you can ask it the right ways it will do whatever a prompt tells it to do
!You can’t tell it to make a nude image of a child, I assume, but you can tell it make the subject in the image of the last prompt 60% smaller and adjust it as necessary to make it believable.!< That probably shouldnt work but I don’t put anything passed these assholes.
It doesn’t take actual images/data trained if you can just tell it how to get the results you want it to by using different language that it hasn’t been told not to accept.
The AI doesn’t know what it is doing, it’s simply running points through its system and outputting the results.

You are most likely correct that it’s too early to say. I don’t have a problem conceding that point to you.
I think Reddit did shoot itself in the foot though, regardless of if they are still around. I don’t know that they will ever be able to regain what it has lost.
As a Reddit refugee myself I can say that for me they absolutely fucked over the chance to have me return to their platform, and many if not most of other refugees I’m guessing would share a similar opinion

That’s an absolute failure of all of those products to not provide that environment on their own.
This used to be commonplace
Discord at its best was simply a hangout where you and your friends can talk to each other without needing to be playing the same game.
It became entirely too complicated and bigger than it needed to be. It’s a. Overblown IRC voice chat. And before nitro, it was exactly all it needed to be.
Now it shot itself in the foot like so many others by trying to be something that isn’t what made it great
- Comment on 10+ year manager named Joe was apparently fired for bringing cookies to be thrown away before their sell by date to a food pantry in my town 3 weeks ago:
news.iheart.com/…/2017-10-23-do-guitar-companies-…
So the manager in the original post probably brought some day old baked goods that would have been thrown in the garbage. The gas station I worked at had a lock on the bin so people wouldn’t easily rummage through the bins for things like day old goods. Because it causes problems downstream to clean up after people dumpster dive. The other thing that can happen is something dumb happens somewhere, and some senior management (maybe even VP) sends out a memo that bans anyone from doing anything but what is now written policy. Lowest common denominator situation.
Basically upper management doesn’t trust boots on the ground so they make broad sweeping rules that they strictly enforce.
I’m no longer allowed to use a work vehicle when running errands and also stop by a drive through even though that exact process was described as “managers discretion” in the policy/procedure.
… Because one person elsewhere got rear-ended in a drive through, all 250+ branches of my company can no longer allow it’s delivery drivers to pick up food on the way back to branch.
I’m assuming the person in the original post has a policy in place that is exactly saying don’t do what he did

It’s only too high if they demand exclusivity.
And they don’t.
They are providing PLENTY of value to anyone who is listing their games there.
Would I like to see them do now for small and independent outfits I would love that, but 30% isn’t that much comparatively to the old days of buying physically distributed things in a brick and mortar store.
I remember buying final fantasy 2 (4) on snes and it cost 95$ US this was 1988 or 1989
Which was about 129 CAD (the exchange rate is between usd then and now is about the same conveniently for this tidbit)
Today after years of inflation it would cost about 250-260 USD or 340-355 CAD
I don’t fucking miss those days at all. And while there are multiple factors here in play, this is entirely fair to charge silksong 6 dollars ish per sale on a 20 dollar sale whilst the failing AAA games 30 dollars on a 90 dollar sale. There is a cost involved and it is because of steam, specifically steam, that made digital distribution what it is today. And by that I mean they have set the standard for what is a healthy location to sell your digital goods.
And to give an example of what garbage (yes you Tim Sweeney you giant whiny fecal faced fuck) digital distribution for games would look like if steam didnt actually do a great job, look at books.
Buying books on through amazon you pay more for them then you used to for a physical copy of the book itself.

I wonder if those places do a better job of being less drafty because it’s easier to know there’s a draft when it’s really cold.

Yeah also thanks because I thought they meant like raw inside of the egg. Like the yolk and white so over the bottom of your foot and the pedals making it very slippery.
In this case the raw egg is still inside the shell. They makes a lot more sense that what my brain conjured up.
Though all that being said it does things me of the anime Initial D
The main character makes deliveries for his dad and his dad puts a cup of water in the cup holder and says not to spill any. That’s how he teaches his son to drive without breaking the tofu he is delivering.
That being if he doesn’t spill any water he is driving smoothly and with care.
Which is actually a reoccurring challenge on the Canada’s Worst Driver show. Season one is actually a great watch for winter driving skills

When my mechanic had decided to sell his shop, he got rid of his heating bill for the last few months he had to work and he used a vest from snap on (branded snap on anyway) that had rechargeable warmers in it. Was kind of neat. He said it worked surprisingly well as long as he remembered to keep it charged
