- Comment on The bizarre, dismal page you see if you open YouTube without an account. 2 hours ago:
It’s almost like old school Google front page.
- Comment on Where are they? 5 hours ago:
My problem is the seed shells. I have to take a shop vac to the ground cover or it dies from lack of sun.
- Comment on Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus 1 day ago:
They aren’t. In fact, many of the MAGA Republicans have been pushing their pastors to stop being so “woke” and to teach “real” Christian values, i.e. oppressing people.
The sad thing is that these pastors are giving up their values and acquiescing.
- Comment on How to get rid of swollen batteries? 2 days ago:
Best Buy will accept most electronics for recycling.
- Comment on Trump’s EPA to “reconsider” ban on cancer-causing asbestos 5 days ago:
My stab in the dark is to make asbestos lawsuits worthless.
If there is money to be made or saved by the capital class, you bet your ass Trump will make it happen.
- Comment on ..yeah 6 days ago:
Unless they have a plan on how they will continue to extract wealth after the working class is gone, then they are short sighted and will be food for the ultra rich who plan on exploiting them.
- Comment on Been a good couple of years 1 week ago:
trying not to poop
Why…were you trying not to poop? Or was this a meme I missed? I remember the beans.
Yeah, Lemmy had absolutely been great over the last year. 6-hour Top sorting is absolutely key here.
Is it a one-for-one replacement? No. There are a lot of communities that haven’t been able to come over effectively. But the main core communities have and it’s been fantastic.
- Comment on The female TikTokers silenced through murder 1 week ago:
There is a linear line from incel to alt-right neo-nazis. The ironic thing is that it happened before the rise of Nazi Germany and it’s happened again here in the US.
- Comment on climate.gov will stop publishing new content on July 1. 1 week ago:
This is, unironically, what conservatives think.
- Comment on AGI achieved 🤖 1 week ago:
Adding to this, each word and words around it are given a statistical percentage. In other words, what are the odds that word 1 and word 2 follow each other? You scale that out for each word in a sentence and you can see that LLMs are just huge math equations that put words together based on their statistical probability.
This is key because, I can’t emphasize this enough, AI does not think. We (humans) anamorphize them, giving them human characteristics when they are little more than number crunchers.
- Comment on VPN Registrations Increase by 1,000%, less than Hour After PornHub Blocked France From Accessing its Website. 2 weeks ago:
¿Por que los dos?
- Comment on VPN Registrations Increase by 1,000%, less than Hour After PornHub Blocked France From Accessing its Website. 2 weeks ago:
It’s not about blocking porn.
It’s always about control. Conservatives want to control how you consume sexual content.
- Comment on NOOOOOOO 2 weeks ago:
It’s an evolution from when people used to take newspapers or magazines to read while pooping.
- Comment on The Los Angeles Police Department shot an Australian reporter with a rubber bullet while she was live on TV. Zero provocation. 2 weeks ago:
Was it?
- Comment on The kid asks a great question 2 weeks ago:
They could consent prior to death. They could even bequeath them to the tooth fairy.
In fact …I’m redoing my will right now…I’m gonna add it.
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 2 weeks ago:
Additionally, cities that want physically fit officers have unions that demand that they are paid to work out. Cities don’t want to pay for that.
So, usually the fitness requirements are only used when applying but aren’t used when you are in the force.
- Comment on The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Announcement Trailer 2 weeks ago:
From the looks of it the characters have thrusters to allow them to move in zero G.
Not exactly jetpack but pretty damn close
- Comment on The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Announcement Trailer 2 weeks ago:
TIL that Cas Anvar got fired. Damn…
Of the principle characters, I felt like he was one of the stronger actors, with Amos (Wes Chatham) being the strongest.
- Comment on The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Announcement Trailer 2 weeks ago:
I recently did a rewatch of The Expanse and as much as I enjoy it generally, I felt like the last season was meh.
The grit was gone and felt like the show rushed near the end.
Maybe it’s just me though.
- Comment on Amazon's new "Delivery Plus" service. For an additional $29.95 your stuff will arrive less fucked up. Free with Amazon Prime. 2 weeks ago:
I hate how free two day “super saver shipping” went from $25 worth of stuff to $35 to “maybe a week? Lol we’ll deliver it whenever we want”.
I have spent maybe $2k total there now in the last year? Mostly things I can’t buy locally or elsewhere.
- Comment on The IRS Tax Filing Software TurboTax Is Trying to Kill Just Got Open Sourced 2 weeks ago:
Our entire Internet, the backbone of all encryption, all runs on open source software.
It is more secure because people can see and audit the code.
Let me flip what you wrote:
Our military equipment already is vulnerable. We just don’t know how badly because it’s not open source.
Prove it’s secure by releasing the code.
- Comment on When a person follows you and watches your every move, it's called stalking. When companies like Meta do it, it's just called collecting user data. 3 weeks ago:
Underwear drawer is nothing compared to their actual phone.
If they have nothing to hide, then you should be able to install a mirroring app so that you can log onto their phone at anytime for any reason.
I don’t get any takers on this either.
- Comment on A Texas Cop Searched License Plate Cameras Nationwide for a Woman Who Got an Abortion 3 weeks ago:
I could only watch this show after Trump first left office. TV is meant to be an escape, not a documentary.
I want to watch the last season but I’m going to need to wait until after the revolution.
- Comment on Hit it and quit it 3 weeks ago:
All the risk without the fun
You’ve summarized religion in one phrase.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 3 weeks ago:
Small talk is the human equivalent to the initialization/handshake phase of the TCP protocol.
It establishes the connection, introduces the speakers, validates the presence of the other, and then allows data transmission to take place.
Unlike computers, we humans require years of practice to get it correct because there isn’t one set standard.
- Comment on Do you actually audit open source projects you download? 3 weeks ago:
I implicitly trust FOSS more than closed source but because that trust has been earned through millions of FOSS projects.
On occasion, I will dive deep into a codebase especially if I have a bug and I think I can fix it.
You can’t do this with closed source or even source available code because there is no guarantee that the code you have is the code that’s been compiled.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 3 weeks ago:
“We have changed the terms. Pray that we don’t change them further.”
- Comment on (Technology Connections) Closed captions on DVDs are getting left behind [33:46] 4 weeks ago:
It really depends on the ripper. I’d say 9/10 times captions are included on most of my downloads.
It’s that 10th one that is super annoying and I have to wait for jellyfin to download them one by one from open subtitles.
- Comment on German court sends Volkswagen execs to prison over Dieselgate scandal 4 weeks ago:
two former VW engineers
Yeah, unless they are Chief Engineers, these two are just people who got caught in the churn.
Wake me up when the President of US Operations gets sentenced to prison. Hell, I’ll even be okay with club Fed.
- Comment on By Default, Signal Doesn't Recall 4 weeks ago:
According to Microsoft’s official developer documentation, setting the correct Digital Rights Management (DRM) flag on the application window will ensure that “content won’t show up in Recall or any other screenshot application.”
So I’m guessing that VLC will have a feature flag to enable or disable this setting. Then you play Disney movies that you pirated on loop. Let the lawyers sort it out.
