Don’t tell. Show.

Wait until the bubble bursts to see how much damage.

Who sets you those deadlines? This is just out of curiosity.

Unless you are working on some engineering or scientific problem that needs these models to get to a solution, even if it works for you, it’s still a waste of energy.

Now that you point it out, I think that’s exactly it. I’m glad people like you are still around there.

I’m okay with your point of view. I can say tge same about the lemmy.world instance. Maybe we belong to a third instance, but as long as lemmy.ml has me uncensored, I’m happy here.

I’ve been called a tankie several times only because my account is in lemmy.ml and I sympathyze with some communist ideas. Granted, these are some fundamental or radical ideas.

If you use Windows with a local account and unlinked to OneDrive, yes.
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 5 days ago:
This only happens if your use Windows with an online account. Poor souls were probably forced to do this.

Disable the display of the voting system. That’s what I do, and it’s the reason I can use Lemmy. It won’t solve the political doom and gloom part, but it really helped me with the anxiety that comes from the rejection of others to my ideas, or the dopamine boost when a collective accepts and praises my comments. Try it.
- Comment on we need more users 5 days ago:
Stop, stop it for a second. “Tankie”? It’s probably just people with different ideas than yours. I’d toy don’t like to read what they have to say, block them, but phrase stop calling collective demeaning names to artificial groups of people.

Why don’t you share here some of those nice articles?

It’s the porn. And comments like “those colors are really a bad choice, they make the graph very difficult to read”.

Even if it’s Trump, it’s still wrong.
- Comment on YSK the Venezuelans community in the US is not representative of Venezuelans as a whole. 1 week ago:
If they celebrate an invasion to their country, they are not even Venezuelan, they are traitors in my book. They should stay in America, that suits them. If they went there to pursuit a better life, because fucking life sucks everywhere, they should still feel aggravated by these events.
- Comment on Quick post about AI-free FireFox Based Browsers (Keep your Adds and avoid the Bloat) 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know others but for me, it’s the constant bugging with their users. I’ve used Firefox since the beginning, and they have made bad choices before, but this is the last straw. I’m tired of circumventing these choices, sometimes doing so is not even that transparent as a “kill switch” and users had to find strings in a cryptic about::config page, for example.
More important, I don’t want so-called AI in my life. I couldn’t care less about it. I won’t use it unless it helps me to find some scientific conclusion that advances our culture, and I’m not talking something huge, I’m not saying it shouldn’t be used at all. However, any use of AI for cotidian achievable tasks is morally unacceptable for me, and I’d ask for everyone a space for reflection on whether it is something filling a necessity in their lives. So, I guess it’s a rupture for me with Mozilla. I can’t use their product because I find it fundamentally wrong to support the massive use of technologies that barely do any good to society, and none to the planet. It’s not about another little discrepancy on features and settings, it’s about not giving people like me the platform to shout “fuck it, I don’t want it, stop it now”.

The way I see it, they have a proposal to make to you as a user. This is Linux, fortunately. There are plenty of choices to make, so you can try i3 or Sway to make things go exactly your way.

Yes. GNOME of great, bit you better learn the logic behind it, it’s bit a DE that adjusts well to the user, it’s actually three opposite, but if you get the gist of it, it works wonders.
- Comment on Nearly all of Spotify has been scraped and is available via torrents 2 weeks ago:
I’d say in general it’s the same, but way lighter than 320 kbps mp3. It’s better than 192 kpbs mp3 and as good or better than 256 kbps mp3.

If your Spotify popularity is not 0, you probably are in the scraped archive.

It’s not lossless but current ogg vorbis at 160kbps is absolutely transparent for the vast majority of people. That’s actually what I chose to keep my own collection, I mean, outside of the lossless albums that I absolutely want to flawlessly preserve.

Basically, the id3 tags for the music files. However, Spotify uses several more nonstandard tags in their database, some of them are great to make playlists.

Now it’s starting to make sense. Wanted to upgrade my old processor to something newer, but still AM4. Prices are stupidly high.

Waste of energy.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I’ve tried. I really don’t want to have another “gadget” in my carbon footprint, but can’t avoid it. I’ve read in my tablet, it’s just too heavy. So, it’s gonna be a PC, a laptop, a tablet, a cellphone, and an eBook reader -_-
The only good side is I use them way more, I think, than your average person. The PC is almost ten years old, the laptop is like six yo, my cellphone is getting to 4 years of use, but the tablet is only a couple of years old and it was supposed to serve as a reader. Also, if I use my tablet just to read, it’s a waste of energy; eink devices are typically very efficient.

First of all, the term “reaction paper” is quite vague to me. I understand it’s a thing now to “react” to things, but the verb, to react, implies very little critical thinking. I think this is one of those concepts brought by the content creator trend to enhance the amount of engagement and earnings by producing derivative and lazy content.
Being said that, yes. If you attend a scientific class, you can’t argument based on your personal beliefs only. Religious, biblical truths don’t have any special weight here. It’s quite shocking that this can happen at a university level, and that’s why I’m absolutely opposed to non-secular education in general. Religion and education must always be separated.
