I’d imagine the fact that is not legal and is negligent would stop them.

It works best to catch the cat while its asleep, then this is mostly accurate :)
- Comment on sleep paralysis 7 months ago:
I can fall asleep physically while remaining awake mentally with relative ease, I’ve never had the entry paralysis ever associated with the typical exit paralysis sleep demons.
The worst that happens is my brain is just incredibly disoriented when I open my eyes after it thinks Im asleep.

The answer to your question is no, federation is not an appropriate model for internet scale search.
- Comment on Why do (desktop) PC have so few USB ports ? 9 months ago:
The true connector crime here is that single USB-C, any new PC should have more than that.
Yeah… even the expensive motherboards Ive bought have like two max, it sucks

How DARE that user prevent the spread of misinformation and add valuable context. They should be ashamed for being such a naughty little corporate shill!

No sorry, I don’t know Java so I can’t easily contribute. There are so many people like me!!! We should write it in python so we can reach a wider audience of contributors. From 13 year olds, career and hobby devs, and academia!
- Comment on [Tor Project] Code audit for the Tor Project completed by Radically Open Security 9 months ago:
The summary incorrectly describes what’s happening, sadly. From the report, http redirects being default is an attack surface they identified as needing a solution, not a suggested action.

We had that on reddit, subreddit simulator I think? It was a more primitive version of LLM, and it didn’t train itself on content from the simulator sub.

- Comment on How do some people "read lips"? 11 months ago:
Yeah it really sucked, slightly muffled by the mask and no lips to read.

Yeah I mean closed captions, oops
- Comment on How do some people "read lips"? 11 months ago:
As someone who was born unilateral moderate->severe hearing loss, I can read lips. The experience is likely unique across the hearing loss spectrum / time of onset, and some people may be able to learn that skill themselves, idk. I’m sure 100% deaf people experience it in their own interesting way.
To me it’s not anything I conciously do, and it’s not something that’s really that visible to me. The fact I can still hear, but not as well as people with normal hearing affects how it works. The way I’d explain it for me is kinda like this:
Sometimes I can’t hear enough to tell what is being said, one way my brain naturally deals with this is by reading the speakers lips and using that to help filter and understand what its hearing. I can kinda apply it as a skill, like with muted videos and people I can’t hear because of distance, but it doesn’t work that well and isn’t worthy of trust.
So for me it’s more of a sense, not something I do or think about. However, its basically the least effort way to understand speech that isn’t clear enough. This is in contrast to another way I/my brain goes about it, which is trying really hard to figure out what it just heard.
To answer your last question, yes. Theres a youtube channel about that whole concept, called bad lip reading or something. They dub over video with audio that matches the lips well enough.
- Comment on Bringing the power of books to the fediverse 11 months ago:
What? It doesn’t take crypto to get rid of DRM? What’s needed is the ability for authors to sell their books DRM free, and that does not require and definitely would never scale with crypto.
- Comment on it's a puzzling one i'll tell you hwat 11 months ago:
I mean they literally created Lemmy to move their communist bullshit off of Reddit. lemmy.ml is the result of that (on top of lemmy itself).
Shame such dumbasses created such a nice thing. At least we can now enjoy making fun of them.
- Comment on my crazy idea to power a ender3v2 off USBC PD 11 months ago:
A cursory google search (minimum effort, might be wrong) indicates the Ender 3 v2 requires 350 watts. PD only hits 240W absolute maximum.
Also the hardware to power a 240W PD device would be stupidly expensive since that target is definitely not in widespread use.
PD is not the solution here!
