  Actually that sounds pretty badass.

  I don’t care if they’re selling computers to fascist psychos.

  I do care that they’re using their soapbox to promote those fascist psychos.

  This is essentially Google moving to do what I always thought was Apple’s malicious compliance on the DMA, but which European courts seem to have accepted as just fine. I’m pretty miffed at Google for sinking to Apple’s level on this.

  If he moved out of Germany their per capita chocolate consumption would be right there with Ireland.

  A coochie Moya. We are far from the boners of my people…

  No such thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shh⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Plastic recycling in the home is basically a scam, but at the scale of a hospital where you’re generating large amounts of the same (known) plastic that’s going in its own bin, it’s much easier to recycle. I just bought a bunch of recycled PET that mostly came from medical waste.

  You do you. I switched to bar shampoo and I like it so much more!

  Honestly? Get a large monitor and a sound bar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I were in the market for a new monitor and I could get an 8k monitor for under $1000 I’d consider it, but right now if one of my monitors broke I’d just be getting another 4k to replace it. The price isn’t worth it for me to have high DPI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No brainer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, my character has Mirror’s Reflection. So I can get through any window just by duplicating and then un-duplicating myself. I’ve skipped trays that way and opened doors for my group using it.

  Worst thing that’s happened is a triggered a monster that one-shot me. From my team’s perspective I tried to duplicate through a window and instead just fell down unconscious. If I’d rolled better initiative I could’ve seen it and un-duplicated before it had a chance to do anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No brainer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m playing a Pathfinder game where my character has something roughly resembling this ability, and so far it has allowed my party to essentially skip a few fights.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How are they gonna prove he’s alive?

  Have him write “truths”? That’s just an LLM That’s trained to sound like him.

  Get his voice somewhere? They just fed that LLM into an AI voice cloner.

  Video? Ok so they added deepfake into the mix.

  Short bits of him leaving the White House from afar? Body double.

  He needs to travel the country doing rallies twice a day and shaking hands with all the people so we can actually see he’s alive. Anything short of that is just unconvincing.

  A loaf of milk is probably my favourite snack.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are they even doing this, the grass wasn't even that tall⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to have a neighbour who said he couldn’t live in a city because “it’s just too loud.” He would wake me up with his lawnmower at 7 AM every Saturday.

  Anyway, now I live in the city and I get to sleep in because people on the whole are actually pretty considerate.

  I initially read that as “stop using VPNs to watch child porn, ministers told” and was expecting a very different article.

  Integer storage in spreadsheets… There are a ridiculous number of ways to store any integer, and I don’t just mean because you could theoretically store 1 and 00000001 and they’d be interpreted as the same thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Given that part of my job is evaluating applicants’ ability to do the job, and given that LLMs are very good at answering the sort of questions many people ask in interviews, AI is making my job significantly harder.

  If someone could make a prompt that actually made an LLM write good code, I wouldn’t have nearly as much of an issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LibreOffice is right about Microsoft, and it matters more than you think.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I would agree, except that every piece of it is significantly more complex than it needs to be. ODF is considerably simpler in part because it makes use of other pre-existing standards for things like dates and times. OOXML redefines so many of those things, and in many cases Microsoft Office’s implementation isn’t actually compatible with their own standard.

  I’m grateful to Microsoft for Windows 11 providing me a bunch of free machines to stick in my basement and put Linux on.

  You will then think about how you’re supposed to be relaxing but aren’t, which will spike your anxiety.

  Ohai fellow ADHD-haver!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's play this game again⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Congrats! You have this superpower and I am jealous.

  Unfortunately you can now only concentrate on things you are supposed to do. You try to watch TV and you can’t follow the show because you’re thinking about how you need to mop the floors. Want to read? You can’t concentrate because you really should wash your windows. Your life becomes a hell of boring productivity. You lose sleep thinking about all the things you’re supposed to do, including how you’re supposed to be asleep by now. There is no more pleasure in life. There are no more quiet moments. There is only stuff you are supposed to do.

  American food relies far too much on capsaicin for making things spicy. There are other spices too.
