- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 5 days ago:
And with that, hopefully we can put this argument to rest.
wow… the idea that the anecdotal evidence of some youtuber should be the proof, not the engineering and chemistry knowledge of people who designed the battery and charging system and know how it works, is on par with the belief that global warming is caused by farts of the turtles carrying the earth. sad noises.
- Comment on What's the name of the early-mid 2000's song that sounds like Beyonce, starts with a "dun...dun... dun DUN!" guitar part, and the singer makes this "dabudabudabu" sound? 1 week ago:
you can find correct song by typing nanana, so… 🤷♂️ www.youtube.com/results?search_query=nananana

trump is literally issuing sanctions on his own citizens and they applaud him for it. i don’t think sanctions will work here 🤷♂️

i really do not want to hold your hand. you started talking to me, refused to clarify and you are trying to pretend like you “won”. how was kindergarten today?
- Comment on She is making a GREAT point 1 week ago:
i have no idea how it relates to what i said.
- Comment on She is making a GREAT point 1 week ago:
i still have no idea what you are trying argue.
- Comment on She is making a GREAT point 1 week ago:
not every situation is as extreme as you make it and while you have a point, it doesn’t make mine invalid
- Comment on She is making a GREAT point 1 week ago:
what?
- Comment on She is making a GREAT point 2 weeks ago:
and no sane woman should believe that, because if she will later find the guy was lying, it is not going to be the guy having to deal with the consequence. so it is quite stupid take.

- Comment on ChatGPT's Atlas: The Browser That's Anti-Web 3 weeks ago:
In the marketing materials and demonstrations of Atlas, OpenAI’s team describes the browser as being able to be your “agent”, performing tasks on your behalf.
But in reality, you are the agent for ChatGPT.
During setup, Atlas pushes very aggressively for you to turn on “memories” (where it tracks and stores everything you do and uses it to train an AI model about you) and to enable “Ask ChatGPT” on any website, where it’s following along with you as you browse the web. By keeping the ChatGPT sidebar open while you browse, and giving it permission to look over your shoulder, OpenAI can suddenly access all kinds of things on the internet that they could never get to on their own.
Those Google Docs files that your boss said to keep confidential. The things you type into a Facebook comment box but never hit “send” on. Exactly which ex’s Instagram you were creeping on. How much time you spent comparing different pairs of shoes during your lunch hour. All of those things would never show up in ChatGPT’s regular method of grabbing content off the internet. Even Google wouldn’t have access to that kind of data when you use their Chrome browser, and certainly not in a way that was connected to your actual identity.
But by acting as ChatGPT’s agent, you can hold open the door so that the AI can now see and access all kinds of data it could never get to on its own. As publishers and content owners start to put up more effective ways of blocking the AI platforms from exploiting their content without consent, having users act as agents on behalf of ChatGPT lets them get around these systems, because site owners are never going to block their actual audience.
And while ChatGPT is following you around, it can create a complete and comprehensive surveillance profile of you — your personality, your behaviors, your private documents, your unfinished thoughts, how long you lingered on that one page before hitting the back button — at a level that the search companies and social networks of the last generation couldn’t even dream of. We went from worrying about being tracked by cookies to letting an AI company control our web browser and watch everything we do. The amount of data they’re gathering is unfathomable.

i have to insist on the fact that they don’t prescribe glasses to people who see fine without them, but you do you and good luck.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
people who see fine without them usually don’t get prescribed glasses. just find ones that fits you, your vision is more important than what some clown on the street might think.

i suspect slahdot people are quite happy in their bubble there without the facebook and other users…

yeah, we should really expect more from… checks notes… “global media platform, market research agency, and service that connects talents with hiring companies” 😂
- Comment on NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to lay off about 550 workers 4 weeks ago:
of course it does. nasa pays the bills and they are the ones who say “we will hire or fire people, because we do or do not have money”. management from caltech says “ok, these are the people who have expertise we need”.
you don’t think they are giving money to someone and that someone does whatever they want with these money, do you?
- Comment on NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to lay off about 550 workers 4 weeks ago:
but my point still stands;
yeah, i don’t think it does.
- Comment on NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to lay off about 550 workers 4 weeks ago:
About JPL JPL is a research and development lab federally funded by NASA and managed by Caltech.
- Comment on NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to lay off about 550 workers 4 weeks ago:
to put that into context - according to wiki, jpl has about 5500 employees
- Comment on If you lose your memories, are "you" dead? If a close relative/friend lose their memories, are they still "your relative/friend"? What the hell even is memory? How sentimental are you about memories? 5 weeks ago:
it’s not your memories which define you
it is your behaviour what defines you and if you lose the memories, at will affect the behaviour, so i am inclined to say yes, you are different person then.
it is similar to when you lose a loved one to a cult, be it maga or some religious cult. they are no longer the same person. you want to get back the person they were before, but right now, even if you kidnap them and lock them in your basement, they are not the same person.
- Comment on Discord customer service data breach leaks user info and scanned photo IDs 1 month ago:
as a very minimum, it would make sense to demand safe-deleting the photo immediately after the verification process, with fucking prison time to someone if it is found they did not comply with that.
but that is clearly not the direction the society is going 🤷♂️
- Comment on Street racers are not criminals 1 month ago:
yes, they are. it says so in the criminal code. they are also fucking cunts.
- Comment on Are Street Racers "bad people"? 1 month ago:
I don’t like framing things in terms of doing a bad thing = being a bad person.
premeditatedly doing bad thing = bad person

it turned out that there are, in fact, stupid questions…

exactly this, they already are, so what is the point of your question, op? if you want to ban something, go back to your church, you will find like-minded
soulsmorons there. - Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
the headline sounds fucking scary, but i wonder what the reality really is. i am in my fourties, i remember paper news, and i understand the media world and what the difference is between trustworthy media and tabloid.
still, lemmy is often times the first place where i see specific news, esp. regarding us politics (i am from eu) - but i choose links to reputable sources (which is not that hard, because lot of times the same info is linked 5 times from the different sources) and verify if needed.
so “gets news from social networks” would sound more scary that i think my reality is. i don’t have tiktok, so i have no idea what the reality is there.
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 1 month ago:
man, there is a lot of ominous babbling without actually saying anything of a substance. while you specifically say “i am not having a psychotic episode of anything like that”, it is not really clear whether you can be the judge of that. please talk to a professional if you can.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 1 month ago:
basically, yeah. internet is network of computers spanning all earth. intranet is smaller network of computers. intranet is often more private network under more centralized control of someone, with limited access from outside, that can be operated for example by some corporation or university, accessible only for employers or students (possibly using vpn to remotely connect to the network).
www. is the name of the service - http is a protocol it uses.
e-mail is the name of service - to access it, lot of people use http protocol if you use webmail, or imap or pop3 protocol if you use some dedicated client (like thunderbird, outlook, or others). smtp protocol is used to send the message to another mail server (you may have also been asked to configure it when manually configuring some dedicated e-mail client).
ftp, ssh, bittorrent,VOIP telephony using SIP protocol, IRC are other useful services. all these services can be run on network of any size, internet or intranet.
for example majority of modern doorbell systems are running on sip protocol and they are basically small VOIP phones running primarilly on a limited intranet in one specific building, but, due to nature of what they are, they often have an option to forward that “call” into any other telephone number in case no one picks it up at home.
small web-developers routinely run their own web-server of their own desktop, which may only be accessible locally, from that one computer or their small home network, to test the web pages they are developing. whether it is still world WIDE web is funny academical question then, because that web is not very wide in such case.
