I love Lemmy.
Here we are, in this holy year of our lord 2025
Wondering if cats have post-nut clarity

Try Guix instead :)
Big, welcoming community; Fully libre distribution; Time-tested Scheme (Guile) instead of that stupid nix stuff.
- Comment on Why so much hate toward AI? 1 week ago:
Have you never had a corporate job? A technology can be very much useless, but incompetent ‘managers’ who believe it can do better than humans WILL buy the former to get rid of the latter, even though that’s a stupid thing to do, in order to meet their yearly targets answer other idiotic measures of division/team ‘productivity’

Thx, corrected
- Comment on All this AI nonsense is an attempt to capitalize on the mere act of human thinking 1 week ago:
It’s also not the first or only 21st century technology that is or was waaaaaaaaay overhyped.
First it was the Blockchain
Then it was the Cloud
Now it’s Artificial Stupidity.

We do. ‘Spring fever’ is very real. What’s less clear is why.

I have a friend who was addicted to both cocaine and alcohol. While he, of course, is convinced that cocaine is one of the worst substances to have ever existed, he is even wearier of alcohol because of: (I’m obviously both paraphrasing AND excluding most countries with a Muslim majority here)
a) Social acceptance. No one is ever going to judge you for quietly sitting in the corner of a bar drinking your beer. Try snorting a line on the same setting and see what happens.
b) Availability. Even in sparsely populated areas, you are never too far away (say, a 10 minute walk) from a bottle of wine/spirit/beer.
c) Practicality (which is what answers your question). You don’t need a syringe, spoon, knife, bill, bong or lighter, not even another recipient, to start binging on booze. Once you buy/steal the stuff, you’re all set - and drinking something definitely IS more ‘natural’ (as in, it’s a reflex) than injecting or smoking something.

Can you explain why you find the suggestion so outrageous ? I’m not advocating a 35 year old woman dating a 15 year old boy. I’m only saying that biology matters.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
This is the one thing that’s hardly ever mentioned in the whole age gap debate, though I would add that there are constellations that are creepy by default. Being a 35+ old man, I feel that I’m at kind of a landmark age where dating someone 20 years younger than me would be gross, let alone illegal in most jurisdictions, so the ‘it depends on your behaviour and intentions’ argument doesn’t really hold. In contrast, I can very much imagine dating a 55 year old woman - and no, it’s not a MILF fetish. So in the end BOTH the intentions/behaviour AND Gender AND actual age gap do matter IMHO.
- Comment on Forced E-Waste PCs And The Case Of Windows 11’s Trusted Platform 3 weeks ago:
You can argue all you want about TPM and its ‘security’. I ALWAYS thought that forcing users to use TPM 2+ hardware is planned obsolescence and nothing/no one will convince me otherwise.
The only thing affected users can and should do is to leave that PoS of an ‘operating system’.

This is a very good, comprehensive and comprehensible answer. Thank you!

Amusing.
a) I don’t use shitGPT and never will, so I wouldn’t know how to phrase questions for it;
b) You are aware that this is ‘no stupid questions’, right ? People here expect to be asked stuff - or to learn from others’ answers for that matter, which I’m pretty sure is the case here;
c) Cold? Maybe that’s because this is a science question? I’m not asking a lady out;
d) Disrespectful? It takes a particular brand of pessimism to be offended in the least by a question that’s not even directed at you…

This is nice!

So if I understand you correctly, in the real world, they do add up?
