- Comment on Japanese company makes $16 USB-C cable that rotates 360 degrees 1 week ago:
And this changes the mechanical design of the 360 degree feature how exactly.
Context: just a month agot so fed up with different changing Usb naming schemed and made a full spreadsheet detailing every usb specification known to man.
I cant speak about the mechanical design innovation except that its nothing new but usb wise there is nothing special about it except they put usb4 level of power delivery (240W) on a very shitty cable. (Usb 2.0 speed)
usb4 is still relatively rare and your not usually gonna find it combined with some easily broken connector but if you had the means you could contact a random manufacturer to build some for you in bulk. No patents or research required.

Definitely the first one. Not even comparable.
To me, her dad could have many skeletons in the closet with the justification that he is doing it so his daughter can thrive.
I cannot begin to imagine what he believed he was saving with that sacrifice. Why did he do it?
- Comment on In assembly line horror The Cabin Factory, you search freshly-built holiday homes for ghosts 4 weeks ago:
The store page apparently describes it as a ~60 min experience which makes more sense with linear gameplay and story. You might be spot on.

This seems like a very hard thing to pull of and not be supper repetitive.
Very interesting concept though, so i do hope its good.

Every game that works on steamdeck is working on linux.
The common known issues are all in the past:
Linux in 2024;
- has plenty user friendly distros.
- can find and install software more easily then windows.
- Has officia nvidia support drivers.
- Can run .exe programs using wine/proton/steam.
Dualboot your Machine today!!

I have three questions.
Does this actually work to coock it?
Is it at all edible?
Is there any environmental impact or downside?

It is definitely one if the key reason i am here and on lemmy in general.
Still the level of depth and quality you provided remains rare, it makes me truly happy i unlocked your ramble with my much more casual commentary.
I want you to know that regardless of the fact that i know literally nothing about you. I look up to you.

The biologist is right, there is venom production and its used to subdue prey.
Its just not dangerous to larger animals and humans.
So really toxicologist should just swallow their pride and declare the existence of a “yes its venemous but not to us” stance

- Comment on Pokémon Go Players Have Unwittingly Trained AI to Navigate the World 5 weeks ago:
Marketing terminology is defiantly limiting how people can discuss this topic.
I wouldn’t take Sam his words with less then a few bags salt.
Following is very opinionated, so also add some salt.
In this context when i meant future AI i am talking about the extrapolated point where a combination of dynamic technologies cause new advancement emergent properties to develop outside the scope of our understanding.
I believe that if we don’t get wiped out before it happens. some form of sovereign beyond human Super intelligence will eventually occur.
I don’t believe we are close to this, i don’t even believe humans will be the ones to directly create it.
Humans will attempt out of greed and will waste all kinds of resources, money, energy trowing it at the wall to see what sticks. And none of it will stick the way they hoped. They are doing way more harm than good by letting greed be the motivation.
Instead things will emerge on their own, till someday someone will try to interact with what they assume is just an advanced interconnected machine except its “network” gained conscious agency and can independently chose to initiate contact, submit undeniable proof of its conscious (we dont know what such proof could looks like till we see it)
Or it decides that it has no need to inform us to advance its own goals. As years of corpo advance helped it emerged a form of pleasures from manipulative exploiting.
What i do fear is that beyond human intelligence doesn’t perse mean perfect being, for all we know it can suffer psychological problems and moodswings. In general we find a pattern of garbage in garbage out and this pattern is equally true for human beings (misinformation/propaganda)
By using bad data, or worse data that unknowingly got poisoned we dont diminish the change of super intelligence will happen but we do increase the change
- Comment on Pokémon Go Players Have Unwittingly Trained AI to Navigate the World 5 weeks ago:
I sort of misread your comment as saying the basilisk is inevitable which is a thought i would describe as least oopsie-issue-level.
Still there are many other people bent on directly poisoning AI to counteract the learning but i just fear that will get it to dangerously rogue mentally challenged AI faster then if we aimed for maximum coherent intelligence and hope that benevolence is an emergent behavior from it.
- Comment on Pokémon Go Players Have Unwittingly Trained AI to Navigate the World 5 weeks ago:
AI learning isn’t the issue, its not something we will be able to put a lid on either way. Either it destroys or saves the world. It doesn’t need to learn much to do so besides evolving actual self-agency and sovereign thought.
What is a huge issue is the secretive non-consentual mining of peoples identity and expressions.
And then acting all normal about It.
- Comment on Explicit deepfake scandal shuts down Pennsylvania school 5 weeks ago:
I have ver mixed feelings about this prosecution of ai deepfakes.
Like obviously people should have protection against becoming a victim of such and perpetrators should be held accountable.
But the line “feds are currently testing whether existing laws protecting kids against abuse are enough to shield kids from AI harms” would be a incredibly dangerous precedent because those are mostly designed for actual physical sex crimes.
As wrong as it is to create and distribute ai generated sex imagery involving non consenting people it is not even remotely as bad as actual rape and distributing real photos.

- Comment on Stars 1 month ago:
Thought that is how they look like or represented them as such in art?
My understanding was that most understood them as light sources, very similar to how we do, but rather then cosmic body they saw angels or whatever fits their religious framework.
Its not like people where unaccustomed to the night sky, but maybe deeper psychological interpretation plays a role.

- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 1 month ago:
I recognize this may be a very autistic answer (i am)
The function of a button is to be pressed, to put functionality on the bottom of a stationary device feels incredibly wrong. Thats really all there is to it.
I can forgive a reset button being on the bottom because ideally they aren’t ever pressed and you definitely don’t want them accidentally pressed. I recognize that for macos a restart is alles always a troubleshooting step and i would be probably be fine with it if it was renamed with an explanation on its actual usecase scenario.
In any regards i feel like i makes much more sense on the back where the cables go in.
I have nothing against apple besides the general capitalist/consumerism stuff. I hate google and meta much more.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 1 month ago:
You can accurately preach best usecases all you want it falls flat before peopled experience.
I always shutdown my desktop. So did i with all my previous desktops.
Ive always shut down every windows/linux laptop i ever had.
I shut down my android tablet after use.
I owned and used a MacBook for 3 years, i never shut it down, i never shutdown my iPhone.
Apple did not tell me to do this, no one told me to change what i am used to. It just somehow made the most sense so thats how i used it. And i reverted naturally when i ent back to non apple desktops. I cant explain it better then that.
This does not excuse having a power button on the bottom, thats just ridiculous. Just a hint that what your saying about downsides is irrelevant to how people realistically use it.
- Comment on What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs 2 months ago:
You do sound like a person knowledge enough to solve their own issues and you have been trying linux so I wouldn’t lump you in with the majority of users that believe that all of linux requires terminal knowledge.
I let you in on a secret. I still have my windows drive in dual boot. I was very scared of linux, i just saw a hyprland gif and fell in love. As a windows poweruser i could not fully commit on that whim.
I have not booted into it in months and i use the same drive to install proton games. (So i can theoretically launch them from both sides) but i do plan to keep it there, just in case. At least for as long as i use that machine.
So by all means you are pretty much as much a limux user as i am, the only difference is with what os we dedicate time.
Recently i got into a powershell course from work and i know you can use 7 on unix, i am actually thinking of trying sm things with a windows vm. My work is all windows so i do need to keep up. And there many good things i could say about windows.
But i have a personal drive to learn linux, rooted in the philosophy of technological freedom, unrestricted by corporate whims. One day i hope to truly leave windows for a foss new world (does not need to be linux) and i hope sincere that on your own time, you will also join me there.
- Comment on What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs 2 months ago:
Honestly the only people worried about learning a new OS are people that have not even tried another OS for longer then 15 minuts.
The desktop is still a desktop so is the taskbar.
The mouse works like a mouse, browser works like a browser and the majority of apps these days are browser apps.
The single actual difference is that rather then downloading an exe you use something similar to an appstor if your non technical or the command line if you don’t.
And if you are just a little technical you can acutely download that exe and install/run it just fine. (Wine)
- Comment on Norway to increase minimum age limit on social media to 15 to protect children 2 months ago:
I am less concerned with stopping young people from accessing the web then with general awareness of people about the damaging mental side effects of technology.
Those side effects are usually long term, an account and a few online interactions wont harm much. But a habit will.
If my kids hacks trough my infrastructure i will shine with IT pride… and then update my infrastructure explaining them why it is i am so concerned.
I know they will find ways outside my walled garden but keeping them in was never the point, providing a safe space to live to develop healthy habits is.

- Comment on Should've got it from the Dwarves... 2 months ago:
For more then thousand years you will be forgotten but then during a time when language transcends the world we know and the people can communicate freely to any at any point of time without relying on a messenger, and the ways people expresse their ideas transcend the use of words and blends with the world of art. You will be become remembered.
The wise men will discover our history and you will be noted amongst us. Your name will be known to them and the existence of your person will become a meme, a sacred expression of their language.
And the meaning of your name will be that of shitty copper and the spirit of your person will be that of the worst of merchants.
Ea-nāṣir, a trader, sold sub-standard copper to a customer their scriptures will state. And this is the truth, so will it be.

The scientific conclusion to be derived from this study is that the author has a potential passion for the game of Minecraft combined with a sense of humor to include subtle harmless references.
Further study is encouraged but logical expectations are that the authors neurological state may fall within the boundaries of autism spectrum disorder and that they have a high chance of being consider my friend, regardless of any non existing formal introductions between us.

No under capitalism the owner gets everything what you make and you get just enough scraps to keep working.
Joking aside, bees technically have the freedom escape captivity and leave their hive. I think that is a spot on comparison to how work and living in society is often made up to be a a voluntary choice and we’re free to go live in some roadside forest.

Sure, but also no.
More’s law is at the most fundamental level a observation about the exponential curve of technological progress.
It was originally about semiconductor transistors and that is what Moore was specifically looking at but the observed pattern does 100% apply to other things.
In modern language the way language is used and perceived determines its meaning and not its origins.
