  You’ll have to convince the EU to change the USB-C rule.

  Zackdfilms posted a very relevant short a couple days ago: youtube.com/shorts/_VbmAWhjUuE

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evidence of cell phone surveillance detected at anti-ICE protest⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Supposedly phones remain in standby even when turned off. So either remove the battery if possible or leave them home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does people doing things that upset others also upset you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Way to completely miss the point. Congrats, it’s actually impressive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*Now you're playing with power!*⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You can almost hear the batteries draining in mere minutes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes I do that because I forget to take my shirt off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does vibe coding sort of work at all?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It already kinda works 95% of the way. But more often than not the last 5% still requires you to understand everything the AI did which can be hard. If it was you implementing everything, you’d already have the whole context in working memory. I’ve been learning better prompting and getting better at it. I think it thrives in typed languages and where the code base has clear design patterns it can follow.

  I still think it’s basically brainwshing by government propaganda.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The cell wall is the wall of the cell.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The HIV is the HIV of the cell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is with the obsession with gender neutral language on relationship topics ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Before we all started sharing our personal information on the Internet, it was common sense to, well, not share your personal information online. Specially if you’re a women, because that often just invites harassment. So gender neutral words like SO instead o boy/girlfriend help with that. You don’t have to use it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐇 🐇 🐇⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Science researchers and students often spend a lot of their time doing statistical analysis, including using programming for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not okay.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How often are you in a place and time and state of mind to stop and see the fireflies though? The problem is both ecological and cultural IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nier creator Yoko Taro reveals the sad reality of modern AAA game development, “there’s less weird people making games”⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, sure, complaining and while doing the same thing and expecting a different result is one strategy. AAA games are purely capitalistic endeavours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nier creator Yoko Taro reveals the sad reality of modern AAA game development, “there’s less weird people making games”⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The weird people still make tons of indie games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would I pop a bag of popcorn on the microwave?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And even in the microwave, you don’t need microwave popcorn. Just a bowl that is covered, but not too tightly to let hot air escape. No oil needed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Protip:⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Stores can’t dictate what’s legal, so this is not illegal. It’s just not allowed under some store rules, but the most they can do is kick you out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indian grocery startup KiranaPro was hacked and its servers deleted, CEO confirms⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Amazing. Like my company is not that big but no single user would be able to destroy everything like this alone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indian grocery startup KiranaPro was hacked and its servers deleted, CEO confirms⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t understand how this is a real issue nowadays for any business with more than a few thousand daily users. Servers should be easily re-deployable and databases duplicated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit sues Anthropic, alleging its bots accessed Reddit more than 100,000 times since last July⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  … Yes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨glupi jebeni bot⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That happens in Google maps too. A 4 star restaurant is not good. But in Japan, 3 star is the norm, and 5 means exceptionally good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In Attack on Titan, magic (titan powers) had historically an edge over humanity, but the story is in part about how Humanity’s technology has advanced to almost surpass those magical powers and shift the power balance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Meanline Tesla: were removing radar and make the car blind when it rains to cut costs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨>:)>⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean you can do a smoldering sexy look at someone if your eyes face sideways. Makes total sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨>:)>⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Or goats just find forward facing eyes to be sexier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨10yr old Bromeliad + 6 week old Ground Cherry!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure the old lady will be too happy with the new flatmate once it starts taping up all the space

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Alright then. I’ll look into it. Thanks 😬

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That seems like a bit too much for my personal use…

  I wish there was an alternative for soda stream compatible gas tanks around me.
