What do you use instead of Kagi?
Also you can search without tying your searches to your account with Kagi.

Like the other person said, PEX will last 50+ years, but I find it funny that you would use PEX in a factory but not at home while I would do the exact opposite. Factory is for professional hardened installs while house is for easy installs that get the job done and last.
I’ve already had to redo the copper setup several times 😂

You’re talking to someone on lemmy, there’s a very high likelihood they think exactly that.
- Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 1 day ago:
SpaceX has an internal team that works to make sure Musk can’t interfere with anything, because he’s so bad at managing businesses. Gwynne Shotwell is the one in charge of SpaceX.

What are you talking about. They were saying nasa sent it to space in the 70s and it’s still functioning.
- Comment on Brazing Copper Plumbing Pipe? 2 days ago:
I recently did some copper soldering and afterwards just wished I had gone with PEX. It’s not like all the connections at both ends aren’t already plastic so you aren’t really gaining anything from using copper and you’re losing a lot.

Can you link the false info they spread so others can see it?
- Comment on Catbox.moe got screwed 😿 5 days ago:
To both host 130+ TB of data, and push 1 petabyte of traffic per month on any cloud provider would be, quite frankly, impossible.
Uhhh I’m sorry but catbox isn’t some special case here. Cloud providers are literally built to do this. Netflix literally hosted off of AWS for years. Also using cloudflare or another provider to reduce your needed bandwidth would make the costs sooooo much cheaper. And it probably would have stopped patreon from deleting them off of the platform since CF has CSAM detection and quarantining.
There’s plenty to be said about hosting things yourself, both good and bad, but in this case routing through CF really would have stopped a lot of this and reduced costs massively.

- Comment on How to check whether a particular url is safe or not ? 1 week ago:
Might be because it’s a redirect… or maybe Firefox shows emojis directly but not other punycode?
- Comment on How to check whether a particular url is safe or not ? 1 week ago:
🌽.ws
Should transform to 🌽.ws when you click it. The
xn—is the punycode prefix.Here’s how Punycode works:
Unicode characters are first converted into a series of code points, which are represented as a series of numbers. The code points are then converted into a series of ASCII characters, using a specific algorithm. The ASCII characters are then prepended with “xn–”, which is a special prefix that indicates that the following characters are encoded in Punycode.
For example, the Unicode character 快 (which means fast in Chinese) is represented as the code point “U+5FEB”. This code point is then converted into the ASCII characters “2s5v”, which is prepended with the “xn–” prefix to give us “xn–2s5v”. This can then be used as part of a domain name.
When the domain name is displayed to a user, the Punycode is converted back into Unicode characters, so that the user sees the original characters rather than the encoded version. This allows users to use and read domain names in their native scripts, even if their computer or device doesn’t support those scripts.

Ff shows punycode. The article is quite old.
- Comment on How to check whether a particular url is safe or not ? 2 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure ff shows punycode automatically. I’ve never had to touch it at least and I get punycode.
- Comment on Toronto business owners are using AI-generated “concerned residents” to fight a proposed bus lane 2 weeks ago:
He adds that the space issue would be compounded by Uber and Instacart drivers, who need somewhere to park while they pick up orders for customers.
Maybe with the bus lanes your new traffic from getting bus loads of people to your doorstep will mean that people don’t need to get food delivery as much.

I think one sentence makes it hit less hard. It’s more surprising with two sentences, and the “sly eyes” and the paragraph break help with it.

There are so many services for formatting sources…why use an LLM for this?
- Comment on Anthropic apologizes after one of its expert witnesses cited a fake article hallucinated by Claude in the company's legal battle with music publishers 3 weeks ago:
They gave it a link to the paper, not the text of the paper. So it probably couldn’t actually access the URL and just pulled from its training.
- Comment on In a few years, new smartphones will be as big and heavy as the first cell phones. 3 weeks ago:
It’s not a consumer decision. Women’s clothes are often created very cheaply. Adding pockets costs money. Therefore cheap (see slimmer clothes) are created without pockets, even if women would wear them with pockets. Your own explanation actually agrees with that by stating it’s tied to the looseness of the pants. You can’t get the look on baggy pants without actually putting the pockets there. If they could they would.
- Comment on In a few years, new smartphones will be as big and heavy as the first cell phones. 3 weeks ago:
You’re right, it is basic economics. Just not in the way stated. Adding pockets costs money. Women’s clothes are often created incredibly cheaply. It has nothing to do with women not wanting pockets.
- Comment on In a few years, new smartphones will be as big and heavy as the first cell phones. 3 weeks ago:
That just isn’t true. Answers in Progress on YouTube does a good video on the history of pockets in women’s clothes.

🎶Someone didn’t read the article 🎶
The attacks then exploit various weaknesses in the OS that allow the charger to autonomously inject “input events” that can enter text or click buttons presented in screen prompts as if the user had done so directly into the phone. In all three, the charger eventually gains two conceptual channels to the phone: (1) an input one allowing it to spoof user consent and (2) a file access connection that can steal files.
- Comment on The FTC cracks down on an AI content detector that promised 98% accuracy but was only right 53% of the time. 5 weeks ago:
That doesn’t really follow logically… a 15 year old can find the mistakes a 5 year old makes. The detection system might be something other than an LLM, while the LLM might be gpt2.
But yes humans write messily so trying to detect ai writing when it’s literally trained on humans is a losing battle and at this point completely pointless.

Kinda yes, but in actuality no. Unless we get rid of the nickel as well, the treasury is required by law to replace the pennies removed from circulation with nickels. Nickels cost even more to mint, as a percentage of their value, than pennies, so it’s actually going to cost the taxpayers even more money.
But yes we no longer have to deal with pennies. Turns out we should actually get rid of dimes and quarters too, but that ain’t gonna happen anytime soon.
