- Comment on You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning 3 days ago:
I recently tried using the Google Translate image translator. Totally locked up now, requiring Play Store and Google App. Still didn’t work, but is was seriously just “if you don’t give us everything now, we won’t do basic shit for you.”
- Comment on I have searched far and wide 4 days ago:
Just curious.
- Comment on I have searched far and wide 4 days ago:
Why is that, anyway?
- Comment on I have searched far and wide 5 days ago:
Yeah, but the other person said the “Harambe Event” so my brain defaulted to Star Wars style use of the Battle of Yavin as the dividing line.
So we could call it Before/After Harambe Event, being the date in May 2016.
- Comment on So I can smoke them if I put shoes on them? 6 days ago:
What’s the over/under that this is in Florida, and therefore makes total sense?
- Comment on I have searched far and wide 6 days ago:
Should we just change our dates to be B.H. and A.H.?
Today is day 26 of the year 9 A.H.
Can we re-name months while we’re at it?
So today’s date is 26 Dicksout, 9 AH.
Harambe was born on New Year’s Day, 17 BH.
- Comment on Elon Musk wants to rewrite "the entire corpus of human knowledge" with Grok 6 days ago:
Musk probably heard about “synthetic data” training, which is where you use machine learning to create thousands of things that are typical-enough to be good training data. Microsoft uses it to take documents users upload to Office365, train the ML model, and then use that ML output to train an LLM so they can technically say “no, your data any used to train an LLM.” Because it trained the thing that trained the LLM.
However, you can’t do that with LLM output and stuff like… History. WTF evidence and documents are the basis for the crap he wants to add? The hallucinations will just compound because who’s going to cross-check this other than Grok anyway?

Prepare for Grokipedia to only have one article about white genocide, then every other article links to “Did you mean White Genocide?”
- Comment on Oh to go back... 1 week ago:
I literally think about that scene every time I order food online. I keep meaning to order pizza online and re-watch that movie just for that one scene.

Child soldiers are not Brave New World. More like shit old world.

Oh yeah, for sure.

Didn’t see that twist coming.

In other news, water found to be wet, puppies cute. More at 11.
- Comment on How to "Reformat" a Hardrive the American way 1 week ago:
I have a 250MB in aluminum container HD from 2005ish. Still works ASFAIK.
Might be fun to stress test it, but I expect the discs inside would shatter from shocks before the case ever showed signs of wear.
- Comment on Art imitates life 1 week ago:
I have to say, the reason I hated the Reddit version was constant garbage posts that were simply just any image at all.
The Lemmy version is much higher quality.
- Comment on Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp 1 week ago:
It’s ethical because it runs on donations and has a non-profit business model.
Meta likely spends at least $1 billion a year running WhatsApp.
Please donate to Signal of you use it.

As in “F’ing Shit”?
- Comment on A cuppa Jill 1 week ago:
Some southern Slavs call tap water “technical” because it’s technically safe to drink, but definitely has a lot of stuff in it that you don’t want to drink… You complain as you chain smoke.
- Comment on Where do I find my people 1 week ago:
Or Latvia?
- Comment on Tough, Tiny, and Totally Repairable: Inside the Framework 12 1 week ago:
It’s not quite what I’m saying, but it’s a starting point. It also isn’t really a thing yet. They’re expected to be available in 2027, so with EV incentives being eliminated, the now $27,500 basic model is already 30%+ more expensive before even appearing IRL.
- Comment on This is not Disney advertising 1 week ago:
Greatest romance of all time.
- Comment on Tough, Tiny, and Totally Repairable: Inside the Framework 12 1 week ago:
Yes and no. There’s a YT video of some guy fixing anything on any car. The catch is that for components for easy things are getting harder and harder to reach. I always used to change my oil myself because it takes 20 minutes and I know the filter got replaced. Harder and harder to do every car I have. So even basic maintenance I can’t do myself anymore.
Modular components could be workable in terms of you pick frame 1, 2, or 3 with batteries. Then you pick wheels/motors packs A, B, or C. Then you pick more and more options. If you own the A and C options, it’s a 45 minute swap out with a system that confirms things are plugged in right. Not every configuration would work together. Toyota uses a lot of interchangeable parts between cars. I mean do this with a whole back end or front end. So like 5 swappable zones that work in maybe 15 possible configurations per frame.
Maybe you want a battle wagon. And want to grow out of that to a pickup. Or start with compact car and expand to a compact SUV.

100%. They all look the same.
- Comment on Army gives shady offer to tech bros so they can play soldier 1 week ago:
instead they will do it by making some tech execs part-time lieutenant colonels…
This is to shield them and their actions when the people their system target get called “enemy combatants.” It’s literally a tech Gestapo.
Holy shit, this is absurdly shocking. I can’t believe this isn’t bigger news. The CEO of freaking Palantir is a Lt. Col. not just for “no reason” ?
- Comment on Websites Are Tracking You Via Browser Fingerprinting 1 week ago:
Headline should read “Websites have been tracking you by browser fingerprinting for 6 months.”
- Comment on I'm gonna mute this one 1 week ago:
Lol, I have two degrees in studying this, and I’m old enough to have seen the full cycle play out a few times for both sides. I’m not trolling, I’m jaded AF. And I’m taking about what either party does as a party line. Orange Bully is obviously different, but it’s an individual thing, nothing the party itself has accomplished or done.
Look, if the difference was so vast, ask yourself why Schumer and all the other 70+ year old Dems seem hellbent on laying low and doing nothing to maintain their own power? Maybe get a couple seats in 2026? That’s not resistance. That’s capitulation. Not even strategic capitulation, simply consent and wishes for crumbs. The same thing the alt-right does because TACO boy always chickens out when it comes to a “crossing the Rubicon” style move.
Political parties only exist to enrich and entrench politicians in the party. They are unions for politicians, with no benefits passed to the voters unless it first benefits the politicians. Open your eyes. If you think either party is so noble and steadfast and true, ask yourself where, in a time of need, they are.
