  I don’t have the full picture on his recent output, but he has been refreshingly, unapologetically direct about his support for Palestine.

  How do you deal with outdated CAs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: The CIA proposed a 9/11 style false flag attack on US citizens to justify invading Cuba⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A comment not being removed (so far) by the moderators of a particular instance does not equate to the entire lemmy community agreeing with that comment. To even make that argument is incredibly dishonest and plainly stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: The CIA proposed a 9/11 style false flag attack on US citizens to justify invading Cuba⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No it’s not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: The CIA proposed a 9/11 style false flag attack on US citizens to justify invading Cuba⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s actually a win-win as it helps to keep the populace in between fear and nationalist fervor.

  They can’t sell them that cheaply. They don’t have the numbers compared to big brands, and they make a real effort for sustainability which is a huge problem with cheap-ass phones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BYD’s Second-Generation Blade Battery Makes Western EV Tech Look Ancient⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  93% after 1.5 years works just fine for most users who do not prioritize longevity or sustainability over convenience.

  Don’t worry. They confirmed it’s highly effective with a third LLM.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s mostly to achieve higher IP ratings, and people with expensive phones also tend to pay for things like cloud storage upgrades and expensive bluetooth earbuds.

  The people who internalize this would never engage with a chatbot in this way in the first place. To them this is another intelligence they’re conversing with, where you get what you want by following social decorum and enforcing your will amounts to abuse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Government Deploys Elon Musk's Grok as Nutrition Bot, Where It Immediately Gives Advice for Rectal Use of Vegetables⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This brings up the question if it’s only about size, or if e.g. dry cereal counts as “uncomfortable”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT Gave Teen Advice to Get Higher on Drugs Until He Died | Futurism⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The point isn’t to absolve people of making bad decisions, but that doesn’t mean the companies whose tools provide dangerous advice in a friendly and factual manner should be without accountability.

  Consider that people in all possible situations and mental health conditions have access to these tools.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can count past 1,000 on your fingers by using binary, instead of just 10⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not like it needs to be perfect in form.

  Your middle finger and ring finger are also linked. Keeping only the ring finger straight is more difficult than curling only your pinkie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨who's gonna tell him?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Worse. He believed them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clues by Sam⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “below” means the entire column below, i.e. Xavi and Tom.

  You use your tablet as monitor? How does that work, KDE Connect over WiFi or something?

  “Yes, this is my emotional support firearm. Why do you ask?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Protein bar⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s basically no lactose in properly aged cheese. Too much of it will do a number on your guts regardless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with the conclusion, but your toilet doesn’t simply spawn SARS viruses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  80% of the utterly ass things that Apple pushes on people are on iPhone. iOS is a purely consumer product, while macOS has a decent chunk of the prosumer market which has a lower tolerance for enshittification.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"i can hear the difference"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Gold plating is used to prevent corrosion, not optimize conductivity. It matters only for the longevity of the cable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"i can hear the difference"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For HDMI this is common with active optical cables.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"i can hear the difference"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Neither does the plastic that these cables normally are made of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia GeForce Now’s Time Limit Will Stop Gamers After 100 Hours Each Month⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ha, no. Many older gamers have the disposable income but not the time or motivation to spend hundreds of hours on gaming per month. I know what I’m talking about.

  Still never buying into that subscription bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 520 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Here as well.

  If you don’t know what to reply, then don’t. Seek out communities, posts, and comments about stuff you enjoy talking about. Especially when it’s a positive light.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The distinction may seem like nitpicking but no, CSAM is a legally defined term of depicting actual children being sexually abused.

  This game does not feature any such content. Not just because there are no depictions of real children, but also because the fictional children depicted aren’t sexually abused.

  Valve’s language cites “sexual conduct” which in this case reportedly (I didn’t watch it myself) has been stretched to include nudity that is non-sexual in nature.

  I get why Valve would err on the side of caution, but that TOS decision is no basis to turn around and make the legally relevant claim that the game features actual CSAM.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Embark almost put crafting timers in Arc Raiders when the game was F2P, but the model made it "hard to respect the player's time"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a new sentiment. Most games try to occupy as much of their players’ time as possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh no!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this is a joke about the first copper-tier sponsor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another angle of this modern art installation⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not. Roundabouts work better than intersections.

  The whole game can be read as propaganda against car-centric traffic management because road planning just becomes a nightmare at some point that incentivizes you heavily to diversify into public transportation and even walkable city blocks.
