  Pretty sure you can download that stuff if you want to save it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy be like⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Could be, I get confused by the alphabet soup of acronyms. I mean these glorified predictive text machines that for some reason marketers are trying to push as having some sort of ability to “think”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy be like⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure AI would be great if we actually had it. LLMs are not AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Buy HDD on sale now or wait for Black Friday?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Aren’t these the drives that WD has set to throw warnings after 3 years, regardless of whether or not there’s anything wrong with the drives?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re supposed to grow into the hand-me-downs, anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastercard and Visa face backlash after hundreds of adult games removed from online stores Steam and Itch.io⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, you haven’t so far. I recommend Prozac for those feelings of anger that just come out of nowhere. Worked wonders for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastercard and Visa face backlash after hundreds of adult games removed from online stores Steam and Itch.io⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is some low effort trolling, isn’t it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastercard and Visa face backlash after hundreds of adult games removed from online stores Steam and Itch.io⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You need a hug or something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bird based storage⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Time to update the video on hard drives no one wants.

  Gonna need something a little more solid that your feelsies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smart option⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wasn’t trying to argue any points. Just commenting on the shitiness of the situation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smart option⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If this is a US restaurant, those prices still don’t include tax.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I run uBlock Origin for the browsers, and Pi-Hole for the network. Plus a wireguard VPN server that my phone connects to when I’m not on the home wifi for ad-blocking on the go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨electrostatic spider flight⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The most recent article in the post is about 4 years old. I definitely recall learning this a while ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hotels have developed a new revenue stream: "algorithmic" smoke detectors⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of hotels will require a card to put on file at check-in. The paper you get after your stay is typically an invoice, not a bill to be paid. They tell you how much they charged you, it’s up to you to dispute if you disagree with something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The boy ain't right⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It would still work with “through,” though?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just created my own zero trust network!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I get the impression you’re the type of person who encounters assholes everywhere they go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just created my own zero trust network!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Who pissed in your cornflakes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gallium⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What else would a woman be doing in the C-suite?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In the US, we’ll be sure to expand it to all the other purchases we make. Eventually even buying groceries will be a shakedown of your bank account.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You Should Run a Certificate Transparency Log⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, the very first few lines make it pretty clear he’s not writing for the typical homelab self hoster:

  If you are an organization with some spare storage and bandwidth, or an engineer looking to justify an overprovisioned homelab, you should consider running a Certificate Transparency log.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CursorAI "unlimited" plan rug pull: Cursor AI silently changed their "unlimited" Pro plan to severely rate-limited without notice, locking users out after 3-7 requests⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Idiom. Elide. It’s really not that confusing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CursorAI "unlimited" plan rug pull: Cursor AI silently changed their "unlimited" Pro plan to severely rate-limited without notice, locking users out after 3-7 requests⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An elision is the absence of a sound or syllable in a word. An idiom is an entire phrase or expression that does not mean what it literally says.

  There’s no argument here, you’re just wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CursorAI "unlimited" plan rug pull: Cursor AI silently changed their "unlimited" Pro plan to severely rate-limited without notice, locking users out after 3-7 requests⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not an idiom, it’s just an elided word.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Being in the US, I’d order an uber before I call for an ambulance. Even with insurance I’m afraid to test that debt machine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For a minute, maybe. Foot goes back down when the cop’s out of view in the mirrors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yellow from the egg!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was watching an episode of QI once, and one of the panelists was talking about a phrase in Greek that literally translates to, “There is trouble in the Gypsy village,” and is apparently used to indicate something like, “Who gives a shit?” Idioms are a very interesting part of language.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RETIRED: Readarr - Sonarr for Ebooks Book Manager and Automation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It didn’t get sorta fixed, the few results that currently show up are just cached results from Cloudflare.

  From the latest updates in the Discord, most of the rebuild work is done. The devs now just need to find the time to get it spun up and working for users - I think one of them is currently in the middle of a move if I read correctly, so it’s just a matter of patience right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RETIRED: Readarr - Sonarr for Ebooks Book Manager and Automation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because one of the main issues is they also don’t have anyone maintaining the project. There’s no one to make the config change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stung by customer losses, Comcast says all its new plans have unlimited data⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, I wasn’t bitching at you or anything.

  If you’re actually curious, the funky letters are the upper- and lowercase of the Old/Middle English letter Eth that represents the “th” sound.

  Why anyone would use it today? Maybe they think it’s “quirky”?
