I have lemmy set to show me a thumbnail and only expand when I tap, so I saw the message before I saw the bunnies.
- Comment on "With all due respect" could imply that no respect is due and therefore none is given 3 weeks ago:
If the caveat wasn’t intended, the word ‘due’ would be superfluous.

Well played.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Conservatism is, as always, a complete failure of empathy, a lack of ability to recognise that if you don’t care about other people and you choose to put people who also don’t care about other people in charge, the people in charge simply and absolutely don’t care about you or your friends or your family.
Conservatives don’t understand that “them” and “us” are actually all just us.
- Comment on "A watched pot never boils" is actually advice for keeping your pot from boiling. Because a soup boiled is a soup spoiled. 4 weeks ago:
Depends on the soup. Tinned soup from some manufacturer, maybe. My mum’s chicken soup? Boil that thing gently for hours and your tongue will love you for a week.

- Comment on Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company's code was written by AI | TechCrunch 5 weeks ago:
You said this a lot, but you seem more like you took offence than like you’re moving on.
It comes across as you dismissing people’s points because they didn’t debate by the rules you invented for them to speak.
It’s not a computer science word, it’s an IT word, and I’m afraid you’re going to have to live with people being a bit imprecise with it.
Why not link to the article coining the term? It’s well written and explains well.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company's code was written by AI | TechCrunch 5 weeks ago:
Satya Nadella has given an evasive answer there and both Zuckerberg and the journalists have been taken in.
It is common in programming languages that have a lot of boilerplate to use code generation, where you take some information about data and generate code automatically, like code that translates data between formats (for example reading and writing xml for saving to disk or json to send over the network). Being very routine to write and easy to deduce logically from other information, this process has been automated for years and years, long before AI existed.
Microsoft’s flagship software such as operating systems, office software, is unbelievably vast and complex, far beyond the complexity of most business software, and has been developed over decades. They absolutely have not replaced 30% of their code since the very recent advent of useful AI. I can believe that 30% of it is automatically generated, but not by AI.

On laptop you have to tilt the screen towards you a lot more than usual and look at it just above the function keys. On desktop you have to stand up for the same perspective.

- Comment on If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be? 1 month ago:
Fat contains long hydrocarbon H-C-H chains (with other stuff at the end). When it’s broken down to release energy, it combines with (3) oxygen O2 molecules, making H=O=H (water, H2O) that you sweat, pee or breathe out, and O=C=O (carbon dioxide) that your breathe out. Carbon accounts for significantly more of the weight than the hydrogen and it’s in this sense that you breathe it out.
If you breathe significantly more without exercise, you’ll hyperventilate, which I’m sure is even less fun than the exercise in lengthy doses, and I don’t think you’ll lose weight.

You can sugar coat it however you like and No-True-Scotsman till the cows come home, but North Korea, iirc, even today, kills, imprisons and tortures more people for their beliefs than any other country.
Believing that atheists are somehow immune from shittiness is absurd.
