why do people actually think he’s dead? especially after all the incessant social media posts “meming” his liveliness?

He is the subject of Minecraft documentary.
- Comment on Kitchens across India ditch hot food due to cooking gas shortage 1 week ago:
They’re switching to foods that use less gas and stopped serving hot drinks. Not serving raw food. You’re welcome, Lemmy.
- Comment on Barely working 1 week ago:
very much depends on OP’s circumstances. It’s likely very impossible for them to do so, or dangerous. America sucks.

… you know they have cameras?
- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 2 weeks ago:
all it takes is some freaky shit sometimes. People forget that a lot happens in the world that deviates from their baseline and that it isn’t always paranormal.
- Comment on The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents 3 weeks ago:
Yeah. I had a locker next to the school’s music room in the farthest corner once. Fun year.

Comparing learning methods and then associating their benefits with the technology feels… fallacious.
For this reason I actually recommend a cheap Android tablet for digital note taking since it is well worth the price. I used to carry paper with me, but having the ability to quickly review notes across several classes (lectures and books) is a game changer. Need to know what was discussed last week? What you took on a topic? It’s very cumbersome with paper.
I feel like ‘technology’ is different when you actually own the tech you’re given. When you can do things with it. Not when it’s a digital casino in your pocket controlled by big corporations.

They’re competing for government contracts and tax payer money, right?
- Comment on Yes this year is going to be really good and productive 4 weeks ago:
You could spray while wiping, but really the point is just that this Spaniard boss is being a micro-managing asshole who dissects every process for not being exactly how they do it

Why do they portray Canadians like Pokemon characters

- Comment on About the search for a Discord alternative, an article about Matrix versus XMPP 4 weeks ago:
I’m glad people are now speaking about alternatives. The collective ignorance was so unbearable before now.

I would rather my tax dollars go to you than the fragmented bomb shells in a Palestinian city.
- Comment on Why ‘deleted’ doesn’t mean gone: How police recovered Nancy Guthrie’s doorbell footage 5 weeks ago:
I was under the impression that Google just didn’t delete data — ever. Like, it’s way more valuable compared to the cost of the disk.

- Comment on Recreating uncensored Epstein PDFs from raw encoded attachments 5 weeks ago:
Since there’s 78 pages, I’m guessing at least 1 ambiguity per page? Anyways, it’s dreadfully big.
- Comment on Recreating uncensored Epstein PDFs from raw encoded attachments 5 weeks ago:
I tried to leave a comment, but it doesn’t seem to be showing up there.
I’ll just leave it here:
too tired to look into this, one suggestion though - since the hangup seems to be comparing an L and a 1, maybe you need to get into per-pixel measurements. This might be necessary if the effectiveness of ML or OCR models isn’t at least 99.5% for a document containing thousands of ambiguous L’s. Any inaccuracies from an ML or OCR model will leave you guessing 2^N candidates which becomes infeasible quickly. Maybe reverse engineering the font rendering by creating an exact replica of the source image? I trust some talented hacker will nail this in no time.

- Comment on Microsoft Just Killed the "Cover for Me" Excuse: Microsoft 365 Now Tracks You in Real-Time 1 month ago:
my direct boss has showed me what access he has to wireless client information, which includes client position. At first I thought this was really weird, even though I was paranoid enough to know that an SSID can track you in the general vicinity through roaming. But exact location is just so weird.
- Comment on Players are returning their Dispatch copies due to Switch censorship 1 month ago:
Entirely unwise to buy anything non-Nintendo on the Nintendo Store as if the Switch’s entire purpose wasn’t to just get people to buy a $500 appliance to play a Nintendo game.

- Comment on Apple picks Google’s Gemini AI for its big Siri upgrade 2 months ago:
I use Siri for:
- getting the time
- setting an alarm
- reading a notification
- telling someone I’ll be late
- skipping a song
None of those need AI.
- Comment on Microsoft May Have Created the Slowest Windows in 25 Years with Windows 11 2 months ago:
I like mentioning sometimes that there’s a small delay when you click the Start button, because it’s a React component. My coworker told me he cannot unsee it now.
